Carlex Rose Vintage based on Mercedes G-Class

Since its introduction in the early 1970s, the G-Class has attracted the attention of many, even those who were not fans of this type of vehicle. The latest generations are increasingly attractive and tuners often use them in their projects. One such model was presented by Carlex Design, Rose Vintage.

Carlex Design is one of the few companies that creatively makes cars better than factory ones. Rose Vintage is just a continuation of the Vintage project that started in 2024 with the Carlex G-Vintage model. This example is painted in Pink and may not appeal to everyone.

The car is equipped with a unique body kit that includes a chrome bumper, a new radiator grille, wider wheel arches, a new rear bumper, and the Carlex logo instead of the Mercedes logo. The lower part of the body is painted in a delicate pink shade, while the upper part is white. It is mounted on a set of chrome rims with pink covers and tires with white side stripes in a retro style.

The interior is upholstered in pink leather, which perfectly matches the exterior. The leather covers the seats, steering wheel, dashboard, door panels and even the trunk. The ceiling is the same color but made of Alcantara, while the armrest has two white lines.

When it comes to the powertrain, it is not known if there have been any changes. As a reminder, the Carlex G-Vintage is powered by a 4.0-L V8 twin-turbo engine with 805 hp (600 kW) and 752 lb-ft (1,020 Nm) of torque, mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all wheels.

BMW is announcing a new concept car

The Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is an annual event where BMW presents some of its most impressive concepts such as the 8 Series, the Concept Touring Coupé or the Skytop. This year’s event is approaching and the Bavarian manufacturer is already announcing a new concept model, but with a lot of mystery.

What we know for now is that the new concept will be a two-seater, but it is not known on which model it will be based. All previous BMW concepts were based on existing production models, so the same is expected in the case of this car. It will have an elegant sporty design created for driving pleasure.

The secret concept won’t be the only one to be unveiled in May. At the Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este, BMW’s M sports division will also premiere a new high-performance car. It certainly won’t be the M2 Dakar that the company announced as an April Fool’s joke, and many believe it will be the long-awaited M2 CS.

Anyway, May is approaching and we expect a lot of exciting news from BMW.

Genesis X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible

South Korean brand Genesis has revealed its two new concepts, the X Gran Coupe and X Gran Convertible. Both models are based on the G90 road-going model, which will be offered as a coupe and convertible.

“Genesis is committed to providing unique value to more than 1.3 million customers worldwide. We aim to use this opportunity as a launch pad for the new decade, to showcase models that embody Genesis’ pursuit of high-performance technology and future luxury design,” said Genesis global head Mike Song.

Both models are reminiscent of the X Speedium and X Convertible that we saw a few years ago. Compared to the G90, both models have Two-Line headlights, a 3D front grille, more sloping windshields, wider fenders and slightly longer beltlines. At the rear are two LED light bars and rectangular exhaust tips. Overall, the concepts look elegant, and many are hoping that we’ll see production versions soon, although Genesis hasn’t commented on the matter.

When it comes to the interior, the coupe’s cabin is covered in a combination of green and brown, while an olive leaf pattern adorns the door panels. The convertible’s interior is designed differently. It’s inspired by the colors of the grapes used to make Cabernet Sauvignon wine, and is covered in blue leather.
