2026 Zeekr 007 GT

While some manufacturers don’t see a future for station wagons, Chinese company Zeekr thinks otherwise, and the proof is the Zeekr 7 GT. It’s a new car that will be sold under this name in the European market, while in China it will be called the Zeekr 007 GT.

The car will have a similar design to the 007 model, but also some changes. It features an LED light strip up front with integrated lights and daytime running lights, vertical air curtains on the sides of the bumper, a larger lower grille with vents that can be opened and closed, new side skirts and C-pillars. The roof line towards the back creates a Shooting Brake shape, and above the rear window are two aerodynamic fins and a small spoiler.

The Chinese company is still keeping a lot of things under wraps, and many believe that like the Zeekr 007 and Zeekr 7 GT, it will be based on the Sustainable Electric Architecture (SEA) platform, which allows front- and all-wheel drive. It is also believed that the engine power will range between 422 and 646 hp, which is the case with the sedan. It will have Geely’s Golden battery that supports charging speeds of up to 500 kW and just 15 minutes of charging is enough to cover 500 kilometers. This is partly possible thanks to the 800-volt architecture.

The car will debut in Q2 2025, and more information about this car should be known soon.

Lando Norris’ Ferrari F40 crashed into a road barrier

The new year has just begun, and car accidents involving legendary models have already begun. One happened a few days ago in Monaco when a Ferrari F40 owned by British-Belgian motorsports racing driver Lando Norris ended up in a road barrier.

A video posted on Instagram shows the F40 driving on a mountain road near Monaco. After turning left, the driver suddenly lost control, apparently due to excessive steering and braking, causing it to spin out onto the road and then hit a road barrier. Fortunately, the damage to the car was not catastrophic.

The Ferrari F40 is powered by a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 471 hp (352 kW) and 426 lb-ft (578 Nm) of torque, mated to a five-speed manual transmission that sends power to the rear wheels. It reaches 62 mph (100 km/h) in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 201 mph (323 km/h).

According to available information, Norris was not behind the wheel because he was in Dubai at the time of the accident. He has owned the car since late last year and has been photographed in it several times on the streets of Monaco.

2026 Škoda Superb Hatch iV

High prices and poor sales results of electric cars have forced European manufacturers to focus more on hybrid cars, so manufacturers have decided to return to the offer of plug-in hybrids with an electric range of more than 100 kilometers. One of them is the new generation of Škoda Superb iV with an electric range of 120 kilometers.

Škoda Superb Hatch iV is powered by a 1.5-L TSI gasoline engine in combination with an electric motor with a total power of 204 hp (150 kW), paired with a 6-speed DSG automatic transmission. The electric motor delivers 115 hp (86 kW) and 243 lb-ft (330 Nm) and is powered by a 25.7 kWh battery, located under the rear seat. Thanks to fast charging of up to 50 kW, the battery can be charged from 10 to 80 percent in 26 minutes. It takes 2.5 hours to fully charge the battery using a domestic wallbox or an AC charging point with a maximum charging rate of 11 kW.

In addition to the standard driving modes (Eco, Comfort, Normal, Sport, Individual), the Superb comes with three additional hybrid options: E-mode, Hybrid mode and Sport mode, and it is well-suited to everyday driving.

When it comes to equipment, the new generation Superb comes with second-generation LED matrix headlights, a redesigned interior with Škoda Smart Dials for more intuitive operation, and an aerodynamic range structure with a choice of designs, improved safety features and advanced assistance systems.

The price of the car is still unknown, and orders will start in the next few weeks.
