2026 Mitsuoka M55 1st Edition

After being introduced as a concept two years ago, the M55 attracted a lot of attention, so the Japanese company Mitsuoka decided to produce the car under the name M55 Zero Edition. After the car was sold out in record time, the company decided to produce an additional 250 examples under the name M55 1st Edition.

The M55 1st Edition is available in ten different colors including Platinum White Pearl, Sonic Gray Pearl, Premium Crystal Red Metallic, Seabed Blue Pearl, Skyscraper Gray, Iceland Blue, Old English White, John Mango, Spring Blue and Papaya Orange Metallic. Compared to the M55 Zero Edition, the front suspension has been extended, the four round headlights located in the radiator grille are reminiscent of the Dodge Challenger, while the fastback tail with optional vents in the rear window are reminiscent of the Ford Mustang.

Inside, the new features include leather seats, the Honda logo has been replaced with the M55 Mitsuoka lettering on the steering wheel, and Mitsuoka is also offering optional carbon fiber inserts.

When it comes to the powertrain, the car will be powered by a 1.5-liter turbocharged gasoline engine with 182 hp, and buyers can also choose one of two optional Honda e:HEV hybrid powertrains.

The first M55 1st Edition models will hit the road in 2026, and will be sold at a price of $50,100 for the gasoline model and $53,800 for the hybrid. The most expensive version is the hybrid model, which costs $55,800.

The HUMVEE 4-CT is a new combat vehicle

The American company AM General has presented the HUMVEE 4-CT. It is a concept based on the HMMWV (High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle) military vehicle that brings greater safety, ergonomics and adaptation to modern threats on the battlefield.

The vehicle is equipped with the Kongsberg Protector SR4 combat module and the Axon Dedrone OnTheMove anti-drone system, which increases the chances of survival in the event of an attack, as drones are gaining an increasing role in combat. Some body changes have also been made, such as a new hood, front bumper and headlights.

The HUMVEE 4-CT has received the MARS (MBrace and RollTek System), a special seat that minimizes the risk of injury in the event of a mine explosion or vehicle rollover. MARS works in such a way that at the moment of an attack, it tightens the seat belts and activates the side airbags.

It is powered by a 6.5-liter turbocharged V8 diesel engine with 190 hp and 515 Nm of torque at 1,700 rpm, mated to a four-speed automatic transmission and a two-speed transfer case (high: 1:1, low: 2.72:1). The drivetrain includes front and rear hypoid differentials with a 3.08:1 ratio, ensuring effective power distribution and optimized traction on rough terrain.

The company has not announced whether this vehicle is a completely new model or an improved version of the HMMWV. Either way, it is certain that it will soon enter service because the demand for combat equipment around the world is very high.

Nissan revealed a few details about the Micra EV

Nissan has officially revealed the appearance of the new generation Micra, which will be offered as an EV for the first time. With this car, the Japanese brand is trying to capitalize on the current popularity of small city cars, and the new Micra EV is intended for European customers.

The Micra EV will be built on the same platform as the all-electric Renault 5 E-Tech. The design of the car was created in Nissan’s center in London, but the project was actually developed in cooperation with Renault. The company’s chief designer, Alfonso Albaisa, said that this was the closest collaboration with the French company in history. Design-wise, it will be similar to the 20-23 concept and the K12 model, with round front and rear lights.

It will be offered with 40 kWh and 52 kWh batteries that provide a range of up to 410 kilometers on a single charge. Nissan has not yet revealed the technical details, but we can expect a single electric motor with 120 and 150 hp.

Speaking of the price, Nissan said that the Micra EV will be the most affordable car of this brand, which would mean a price of around 32,000 euros.
