With the Scenic Vision study, Renault is giving a glimpse of the next generation of the Scenic, which will be launched in 2024 with a purely battery-electric drive. At the same time, the concept car conveys an impression of the brand's new design language. Unlike the later production version, the dynamically designed technology carrier has a combined battery and fuel cell drive to cover long distances with quick refueling stops and consists of 70 percent recyclates. This results in a 75 percent lower CO2 footprint in production and use than with conventional electric vehicles. Innovations such as the "Safety Coach", which proactively warns the driver of danger spots, or the "Safe Guardian", which actively intervenes in the driving process if alertness wanes, also raise active safety to a new level.

The e-tron GT quattro and the RS e-tron GT usually drive with electric all-wheel drive, only the “efficiency” mode of the Audi drive select dynamic handling system prioritizing the front-wheel drive. In event of a slippery road surface, high power requirements, or fast cornering, the electric motor for rear-wheel drive is also activated here, and around five times faster than with a mechanical quattro drivetrain. The electric all-wheel drive regulates the drive torque distribution between the axles – continuously, fully variably, and within a few thousandths of a second. The quattro principle of the four-wheel drive that Audi introduced to the market more than 40 years ago presents itself on a new, fascinating technological level. When the driver releases the right-hand pedal, the drive usually switches to sailing, allowing the gran turismo to glide with elegance and efficiency. By contrast, the car recuperates in overrun mode in the “dynamic” mode of Audi drive select.
Alfa Romeo is unveiling to the international press the New Tonale, a new chapter for the global model, which now offers more colors, and more trims. A significant milestone in the history of Alfa Romeo's first C-SUV with a targeted intervention to further boost its sporty character and the appeal of a recognizably Alfa Romeo design. International award-winning and highly appreciated by the general public, the new model refines the brand’s renowned excellence – perfect weight balance, first-class driving dynamics, segment-leading technological and engine solutions – and adds further appeal to the distinctive design, the main reason for customers to go for it. Alfa Romeo has decided to present the New Tonale in Pisa for its symbolic value: a center of art and culture, but also a site of scientific and technological excellence with the Scuola Normale Superiore, at the forefront of Artificial Intelligence. Pisa is therefore the ideal setting for the New Tonale, which expresses the same Italian beauty and excellence, as well as embodying the concept of Human Intelligence, i.e. the ability to transfer authentic emotions, which come about when passion meets technology. For Alfa Romeo, all this translates into the characteristic pleasure, emotions, and fun of driving.
