NewsMercedes-AMG CLE 646: a rear-drive V8 built by hand, 30 of them
Mercedes-AMG revealed the CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung on 10 September 2026, the second model in its Mythos series after the PureSpeed and a run of just 30 cars. The 4.0-litre twin-turbo M177 Evo V8 makes 475 kW (646 PS) and 850 Nm, and drives the rear wheels only, which no AMG V8 has done since the 2022 C63 S. Each car starts as a CLE 53 and is rebuilt by hand 60 mm wider in carbon fibre, 170 kg lighter at 1,895 kg, on four-way adjustable KW coilovers. 0-100 km/h takes 3.9 seconds and the top speed is limited to 310 km/h.
NewsAudi brought back the A2, and this time efficiency is the whole point
Audi revealed the A2 e-tron on 7 September 2026, reviving a name last used on an aluminium economy car and attaching it to a rear-wheel-drive electric hatchback built around efficiency. Four power levels run from 125 kW (170 hp) to 240 kW (326 hp), over batteries of 52, 61 or 84 kWh gross, the two smaller ones lithium iron phosphate and the largest nickel manganese cobalt. WLTP range runs from 423 km to 646 km, and the most efficient version returns 12.8 kWh per 100 km against a drag coefficient of 0.24. DC charging peaks at 183 kW for 10 to 80 per cent in 24 to 29 minutes. Prices open at €38,200 in Germany, orders in autumn 2026 and deliveries from December.
NewsThe Polestar 4 SUV goes on sale, and this one has a rear window
The Polestar 4 SUV opened for orders on 2 September 2026, joining the Polestar 4 coupé rather than replacing it. Polestar quotes up to 630 km WLTP in rear-motor form and up to 544 hp in dual-motor form on the same 400 V architecture, with retuned chassis components shared with the latest coupé. It is built in Busan, South Korea, and goes on sale in a majority of Polestar markets. Polestar announced the car on 7 July 2026 and has still published no battery capacity, no acceleration figure, no boot volume and no prices.

ReviewBMW M Concept Neue Klasse: a skeptic's first impressions
I walked in ready to be disappointed by BMW's electric-M concept. The Monza Red bodywork and E30-callback arches won me over. Those big front glass panels and the gauge-less Panoramic Vision cabin are going to divide people.
ReviewAudi RS 5 (2027): the sedan that refused the trade-off
Audi Sport's first PHEV pairs a 2.9 TFSI V6 with an electric motor for 630 hp and 84 km of EV-only range. It runs as an EV on Monday and a 3.6-second monster on Saturday, which is something no M3 or C 63 can do.
ReviewYangwang U9 Xtreme: the 496 km/h opening shot in China's multi-motor war
