2026 Audi A6 Avant TFSI

On March 4, Audi will launch the new generation of the A6. The car will be presented in two body styles, first as a station wagon (Avant), and then a sedan version will be launched.

YouTube channel KondorCars has released a short video showing the Audi A6 Avant in the S-Line version with aggressive bumpers, larger wheels and darkened logos. At first glance, the new A6 has a design similar to the A5, but with a higher radiator grille and headlights similar to those used on the RS6 and A7 Sportback. There is also an LED line that runs the width of the rear.

What we know for now is that the new A6 will be based on the PPC (Premium Platform Combustion) platform, an improved version of the MLB Evo platform currently in use. When it comes to powertrains, it will be offered as a gasoline and diesel with mild hybrid technology.

In March 2024, Audi announced a new naming scheme to separate the electric models (A4 and A6) from the ICE models (A5 and A7), but that is not going to happen. They now have a new goal, to become a luxury brand and join brands like Mercedes-Benz. Whether they will be able to achieve this remains to be seen.

Bentley is developing a new crossover that will debut in 2026

Bentley will unveil its new electric crossover in 2026, measuring under five meters in length, making it suitable for maneuvering in European cities. The name is currently unknown, but some information suggests that the decision will be between Mayon and Barnato, registered in the EUIPO (European Union Intellectual Property Office).

The car will be positioned below the Bentayga model but with a slightly more dynamic character, and will not have a gasoline version.

When it comes to the name of the future model, Barnato is the surname of one of the legendary “Bentley Boys” from the 1920s. Woolfa Barnato is a three-time winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans and an investor who saved Bentley in difficult times. Therefore, many believe that his name is one of the possible ones with which Bentley would pay tribute to this gentleman.

Another choice could be the name Mayon. Mayon is the name of a volcano in the Philippines. This could be the brand’s first choice because it fits perfectly with their concept. The Bentley Bentayga is named after Roque Bentayga, a rock in the Canary Islands, so the name of the active volcano could be a reference to the explosiveness of the new electric crossover.

2026 Alpine A110 R 70

Alpine is celebrating seven decades of the brand and on this occasion it has introduced the A110 R 70, as well as the A110 GTS as a replacement for the A110 S and A110 GT models.

The A110 GTS is based on the A110 S chassis and is available in five new colors including Peacock Blue, Acropolis Orange, Solar Orange, Eclipse Blue and Steel Gray. It has not changed in terms of design compared to the A110 S but buyers can now choose an optional aerodynamic package, which brings it closer to the A110 R. It is equipped with a new set of 18-inch GT Race wheels and Brembo brake calipers available in six different colors.

Under the bonnet is a 1.8-L engine with 300 hp (221 kW) and 250 lb-ft (340 Nm) of torque. This is enough to push the car to 100 km/h in 4.2 seconds with a top speed of 275 km/h (171 mph). Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 7-speed automatic transmission.

The A110 R 70 will be produced in 770 units, of which 210 are Tricolour Edition versions, divided into 70 units each in Bleu Caddy, Glacier Blanc and Rouge Simique. These colors were chosen as a reminder of the original Alpine A106, which marked the beginning of the brand in 1955.

The car is based on the A110 R and is adorned with Alpine’s 70th anniversary logo on the front wings, sills and headrests, a French flag monogram on the pillars and door panels, as well as a numbered plaque. Customers can choose from 10 body colors and four interior colors combined with seven available brake caliper shades.

Like the A110 R, this model also has a carbon hood, roof, rear window cover, rear spoiler and 18-inch wheels. It is powered by a turbocharged 1.8-L 4-cylinder engine with 300 hp.

When it comes to price, the A110 GTS costs 79,500 euros, while the A110 R 70 is much more expensive at 122,500 euros.
