2025 Donkervoort F22 Final Five

Dutch ultra-lightweight carmaker Donkervoort has unveiled the last car to be powered by an Audi engine, the Donkervoort F22 Final Five. That doesn’t mean they’re giving up on internal combustion engines, but it’s not known which engines will replace the Audis.

The F22 Final Five is powered by a 2.5-L 5-cylinder engine with 500 hp (368 kW) and 472 lb-ft (640 Nm) of torque, mated to a 5-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It can reach 100 km/h (62 mph) in just 2.5 seconds and has a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). The same engine powers the current generation Audi RS3, as well as the most powerful version of the retired TT.

It is equipped with a carbon body with removable roof panels, a titanium exhaust system ending in front of the rear right wheel and lighter carbon-ceramic brakes, so it is not surprising that it weighs only 716 kilograms. It is mounted on 18 and 19-inch carbon wheels.

When it comes to price, the Donkervoort F22 Final Five costs 315,000 euros and only 5 units will be produced.

2025 Hyundai Elantra N TCR Edition

The Hyundai Elantra N TCR Edition, is a special model inspired by the Touring Car Racing (TCR) World Touring model, intended for enthusiasts who love the track. It will arrive in the South Korean market in December, while it will be available in other markets from 2025.

To be honest, the Elantra N TCR Edition seems more of a promotional move than a special version of the Elantra N, as almost all the improvements are available as options for the existing Elantra N. These include a large Carbon Swan Neck spoiler, an adaptive aerodynamic wing that increases downforce at high speeds and makes the car more stable, a large rear wing, and improved N Performance monoblock brakes with four-piston calipers.

The interior is taken from the standard Elantra N with some minor changes such as the steering wheel covered in Performance Blue Alcantara, and the seat belts and TRC Edition badging also in Hyundai Performance Blue.

Under the hood is a turbocharged 2.0-L four-cylinder engine with 280 hp (206 kW) and 289 lb-ft (392 Nm) of torque, or 290 hp (213 kW) thanks to N Green Shift overboost.

2026 Nissan Micra EV

Since 1982, Nissan has been producing a supermini car (B-segment) the Nissan Micra, also known as the Nissan March. So far, five generations of this model have arrived on the market, and the Japanese manufacturer has announced that, in the next two years, it will launch the sixth generation of Micra.

The new generation of Micra will be based on the same platform as the all-electric Renault 5 E-Tech, and Nissan is trying to capitalize on the current popularity of small city cars. It will be an all-electric car and will be produced in France.

Nissan is still hiding information about the car, which is understandable since its launch is still two years away. Also, information has previously appeared that the Japanese manufacturer is seriously considering a new model of a small city car that will be positioned below the Micra, but some believe that this model could be the next generation of Micra. Whether this will be true remains to be seen.

Given that it shares the same platform as the all-electric Renault, the Micra will be offered with a single electric motor with 95 hp (71 kW), 120 hp (89 kW) and 150 hp (110 kW). It will be equipped with 40 or 52 kWh batteries, which will allow a range of between 300 and 410 kilometers.

More information coming soon.
