All things that rolls on four wheels (sometimes three), gas or electric powered.
Porsche has a proposal for anyone tired of dashboard screens: bring your phone and leave the driving instruments to the car. The Mission S pairs physical controls with gauges that change position, wrapped in a mid-engined design pointing toward a permanent supercar offering above the 911.
Tesla once put a Roadster inside a rocket. Now it has put rocket technology inside a Roadster—and demonstrated what happens next. The redesigned sports car lifts off, flips, and lands using cold-gas thrusters, taking the long-promised successor well beyond the usual debate about how fast an electric car accelerates.
A modern Nissan Z with T-tops is already a tempting proposition. Add Pacific Teal paint and genuine NISMO wheels rescued from the ’90s, and the Z Kaze starts looking like a long-held wish made real. Nissan built it for enthusiasts; unfortunately, that doesn’t mean enthusiasts can buy it.
More than 50,000 buyers have ordered a CUPRA Raval. ABT now offers a way to make theirs stand out, complete with winglets, a roof spoiler, and exclusive wheels. Alongside it in Paris, CUPRA’s new KIRO Formula E racer demonstrates what happens when the racing ambitions go beyond the bodywork.
A family car that turns into a pickup sounds useful. An 816 hp hatchback sounds excessive. Both have a place at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, alongside a color-shifting DS, a sculpted Alfa Romeo, and two good reasons to keep wishing for cars that aren’t SUVs.
Delivery vans rarely make you wish one would pull up outside your house. Citroën’s 2 CV Fourgonnette Concept might change that. Its designers have reimagined the familiar workhorse as an endearing electric van, though this passion project needs a production plan before anyone can put it on parcel duty.
Renault has given the family car somewhere to keep cold drinks and an actual game of Connect 4. The E-Space Concept’s middle seats swivel to face the rear passengers or fold into a table, turning its glass-lined cabin into a place where spending time together sounds rather appealing.
Needing an armored car does not necessarily mean needing BMW’s highest level of protection. The Concept 7 Protection explores a lighter scope focused on handgun threats, while keeping the familiar luxury-sedan appearance. Inside, a folding table and cool box let passengers get on with their day behind the thicker glass.
Alpine put an original A310 in its design studio and imagined how it might look if designed today. The resulting A310 VISION keeps the seventies car’s low, geometric character, then adds a semi-transparent cabin and headlights that reveal themselves at startup. I would want to see that last detail more than once.
An open-air MOKE looks like a lovely way to spend a day by the coast, until you need somewhere to leave your bags. The new electric Mk2 adds lockable front storage alongside more range and faster charging, giving you fewer practical matters to interrupt the holiday mood.
Remember spotting a parking space, then realizing your car would never fit? The new Smart #2 looks ready to spare you that disappointment. This electric successor to the Fortwo keeps the tiny footprint and two-seat layout, adding modern comforts without abandoning the reason people wanted a Smart in the first place.
