Alpina Unveils Vision BMW Alpina: A 7-Series-Based One-Off Preview

BMW Alpina previews its future with the Vision BMW Alpina—a one-off design study based on the 7 Series that signals the brand’s first production model since joining BMW Group. The long, 204.7-inch coupe features a shark-nose front, a three‑dimensional illuminated kidney grille, ultra-wide wheels (22 inches front, 23 inches rear), and a hidden V8 under the hood. Inside is a production-ready cabin with BMW's Panoramic iDrive and a minimal-button layout, all designed to balance performance and comfort. Debuted at Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este ahead of next year’s launch.

Dreaming of a Peugeot Supercar: A QOTD Debate

A reader‑driven QOTD asks which automaker should build a new supercar, listing options from Bugatti and Lamborghini to Lucid, Toyota, Kia, GMC and Land Rover. The author personally hopes Peugeot brings a supercar, citing its endurance-racing pedigree (three Le Mans wins, 9X8) and past mid‑engine concepts (Quasar, Proxima, Oxia, Onyx) as precedent, and suggests the 9X8’s hybrid V6 could underpin a production model, inviting readers to share ideas.

Porsche Panamericana’s Practical Wheel Arches Enabled Quick Tire Swaps

The Panamericana concept’s dramatic wheel arches were designed for practicality: they allowed quick swapping of wheels and tires and rapid suspension changes for tarmac versus off-road, inspired by the Carrera Panamericana race. Built on a 964 Carrera 4 chassis with a carbon-fiber body and a 250-hp flat-6 AWD, it remains in Porsche’s museum; modern interpretations like the 911 Dakar echo its off-road spirit at a lower cost.

VW Resurrects the W12 Golf GTI for GTI 50th Birthday

Volkswagen marks the 50th anniversary of the GTI by reviving its wild Mk5-era W12 concept—the GTI W12-650. Powered by a mid-mounted 6.0-liter twin-turbo W12 from Bentley and sending about 640 hp to the rear wheels, it borrowed parts from Audi, Lamborghini, and even a Phaeton transmission to create a rare, high-strung showpiece. Designed more as a celebration than a production model, the W12-650 remains a temperamental legend of VW Group’s extreme engineering ambitions.
