The Smart #2 is BACK For Europe
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[10-12-26 /// Image by: Mercedes - Smart ] Mercedes-Geely’s Smart brand is nothing like the tiny Fortwo of the old days but that original creation is making a bold comeback. Meet the Smart #2! This new Smart was designed in Europe by Mercedes, though it’s largely built and rides on Geely hardware. Visually, it looks like a perfect reinterpretation of the original. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Spec Sheet: The big news is under the fun design. Here we find an all new platform called ECA (Electric Compact Architecture) and will only be offered as an EV. It uses a rear motor making 81HP and a 35.8kWh LFP battery with 180 miles of WLTP range, 65kW DC FC and V2L support.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And it remains small too. It’s just 108 inches long. It will be offered in Pure, Pure+, and Premium trims with a Couture Edition at 999 units. It’s also meant to be fun, with a low center of gravity, 5 link rear suspension, and loads of ADAS systems standard. It’s also structurally strong with a Tridion Cell Evo chassis to protect occupants. Pricing in the UK will sit at the equivalent of $23k USD.

ACN EXTRA: Really glad they nailed this one.

2026 CT5-V Blackwing Driving Experience! 🇺🇸
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[10-13-26 /// Image by: ] A dream has been fulfilled. We lived with the 2026 Cadillac CT5-V Blackwing with the mighty Precision Package for 1-week. America’s super sedan continues on with a major $18k package adding ceramic brakes, a totally retuned suspension, & endless carbon aero. Unchanged? The thunderous V8 under the hood. Cadillac’s superstar only gets better. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏁 Spec Sheet: 6.2L Supercharged V8
668HP & 659 lb-ft of torque
10-Speed Auto / RWD
0-60MPH 3.5 seconds
13 mpg city and 22 mpg highway
MSRP: $102,795
As Tested: $150,365
🏁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Standout with the Precision Pack Blackwing compared to the V-Series or CT4-V Blackwing is it’s incredible chassis stiffness yet magic duality with the Magneride dampers and some of the smoothest operating Ceramic brakes we’ve ever tested. Design wise, what more could you ask for? It’s stunning, mean, and glows in Drift Metallic paint. Besides the endless V8 burbles, the Blackwing drives so so good. It felt more connected, agile, and put together than the M5 Sedan we tested in 2025. The interior is a blend of high-tech and some older buttons. It’s generally nice, especially the carbon buckets (which do creak a bit), though shows it’s age VS newer Caddy products. Did we drain the fuel tank within a few days? Yes. But in the Blackwing, that means you’re having fun.

ACNCarScore - 9.5/10

Pininfarina JAS Tensei is OFFICIAL! 😳
______________________________________
[10-13-26 /// Image JAS + Pininfarina ] Italian JAS motorsports and Pininfarina have completed the stunning Tensei, a perfected Honda NSX restomod. The collab has taken a chassis from the original gen 1 NSX and reworked it out of carbon fiber. Pininfarina is responsible for this gorgeous flowing design with popup lights, LED DRLs, a new bumper shape, side intakes, and an all new rear with LED taillights too. Thankfully, it’s not straying too far from the original. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec Sheet: Buyers will be able to choose from RHD or LHD and major updates will be coming to the original C30A 3.0L V6 thanks to JAS motorsports. A 6-speed manual will be the only option.

The original stock NSX started life out with 270HP and 210 lb-ft of torque. JUDD Power, a UK engine specialist, has bored the engine to 3.5L, added 2 throttle bodies, dry sump oil, and a new exhaust for 425HP and a 8,500RPM Redline. It all weighs just 2,756lbs dry. 🏁

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Out back is also a new mechanical torsen limited slip diff along with new billet aluminum wishbones, 4-way adjustable KW dampers, brembo ceramic brakes, and forged center lock wheels. Inside, we finally get a look at the preserved cabin, now adored with carbon trim, leather, Alcantara, titanium metal accents, an analog tach, and more. Just 35 will be made.

BMW Concept 7 Protection: Hidden Armor
______________________________________
[10-12-26 /// Image by: BMW ] The BMW 7-Series Lci is gearing up for a refreshed Protection armored variant, and this new Concept 7 shows off a discreet new strategy. This 7-series is designed to protect occupants from street-level threats like robberies, altercations and more. The 7-Series with more serious ballistic protection is already on offer, though this “entry level” solution is still under consideration for production. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Spec Sheet: The Concept 7 Protection is based on the M760e xDrive with a PHEV 3.0L B58 turbo inline-6 and eMotor to make 603HP and 590 lb-ft of torque.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
In terms of protection, it features thick bullet resistant glass, ballistic steel in the doors, fibre reinforced composites filling out areas of the body all out of sight. There even is an intercom system to speak outside the car. It uses a BayB standard for civilian protection too, meaning 9x19mm and .44 magnum rounds. The full fledged 7 and i7 protection offer VR9 level armor.

Stellantis Takes Over Paris With Concept Cars! 🇫🇷
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[10–12-26 ] Stellantis is moving full steam ahead with a host of concept cars across nearly all major brands. A headline debut is the Cirtoen 2CV Concept set to become a production car by 2028 for just €15,000 as a 4 door retro small EV.

Citroen’s DS spinoff brand also launched the F3VER concept, previewing a bold new design direction with Y-shaped lights in a premium hatch shape. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏁 🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Peugeot launched 2 spicy concepts, one is the E-T16 hatch with 816HP, 3 motors, inspired by the 205 T16 rally car. It looks mega and will inspire future models. Then comes the RCV Vision, a revival of the RCZ coupe now with a solid state battery, story by wire, 10min charging, riding on STLA ONE platform.

Opel (and Vauxhall) also launched the STX concept, a sleek wagon with an EV powertrain, and a preview of their future design.

The Fiat Multiplay is wild, revived as a play on the Multipla though now as a SUV/Pickup/Minivan mashup with a moving rear end and family friendly cabin.
________________________________________
ACN EXTRA: That RCZ wins against all. Rebadge it as a Chrysler and sent it to the USA!

Alpine A310 Vision Concept: STUNNING 🇫🇷
______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[10–12-26 ] While Alpine is hard at work on their new in-house developed APP (Alpine Performance Platform) architecture, we can get a taste of what’s to come with the stunning new A310 Vision Concept. The design is inspired by the original 1970s A310, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary. The new concept is a perfect retro-futuristic interpretation with a low and wide body, aluminum panels, slim LED lights, vented hood, a rear wing and a slick wraparound cabin design. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
🏁 🏁 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Crazy cool concept car aside, The upcoming “APP” is a bonded and riveted aluminum structure along with aluminum suspension and a sporty 40 front/ 60/rear weight distribution thanks to a split battery pack. The 2 rear motors are said to provide torque vectoring. All of this is powered by a new Alpine Dynamic ECU. This all should culminate in the new A110 set to launch in the coming years.

ACN EXTRA: And Alpine won’t be launching in the USA anymore… At least for now.

Alfa Romeo Cuorerosso Concept 🍀🇮🇹
______________________________________ ⠀
[10-11-26 /// Image by: Alfa Romeo ] Alfa Romeo’s design future is here with the Cuorerosso Concept, a sleek 2-door coupe design with a Twin Turbo V6 and 33 Stradale inspired features. The concept also is multi energy ready, capable of being a hybrid, EV, PHEV or gas. It’s also designed as a proper 2+2, with full sized rear seats. .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🍀 🍀

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This was a unique concept too, the design team started with a pure shape form, no wheels, no windows, just a dynamic shape of Alfa Romeo design. This all makes for a .28 drag coefficient. Alfa also redid their iconic logo and envisioned a bold new interior with a large central dial, race inspired wheel, and bucket seats. And while this concept likely (unfortunately) won’t make it to production, the design previews the future Giulia, Stelvio and more.
