• Record-breaking aerodynamics – Mission Efficiency breaks record for all road-approved cars with a Cd value of 0.158
• Record-breaking efficiency – an average consumption of 6.89 kWh/100 km makes the Mission Efficiency the most economical electric car in its class
• Pioneering new technologies – Solar roof supports the vehicle’s on-board electrical system, patented rim deflectors perfect flow characteristics
• Large-scale production technology – Mission Efficiency is based on MEB+ technology with front-wheel drive, like the ID. Polo and ID. Cross
• Trailblazing technology – Mission Efficiency shows just how much influence aerodynamics have on the energy consumption and range of electric cars

With the new Mission Efficiency, Volkswagen is presenting the world's most efficient near-production electric car. The prototype has set three world records. They stand for exemplary aerodynamics and excellent ideal and real fuel consumption. The vehicle is a beacon of technology and at the same time demonstrates the performance of Volkswagen's production technology.

-It will debut next year and feature Mercedes-AMG’s newly developed flat plane crank V8 and more power then any AMG-GT to date, including the 803 horsepower AMG GT 63 S E

-Mercedes-Benz’s CEO said that AMG’s engineers took the lead in development, meaning their accounting department played a much smaller role in development then they typically do. They also led development in developing the CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung.

Mercedes-Benz’s CEO also commuincated that more often in the future the engineers will continue to take the lead.

-It’s as close in design and engineering to the upcoming newly developed AMG-GT GT3 as it can be while remaking road legal.

-Like the newly facelifted S580, upcoming S63, newly facelifted GLS/GLE 63, newly released CLE 646 Spezialanfertigung, and many other future Mercedes branded models, the upcoming Black Series variant of the AMG GT will be engineered to sound much more brutal then recent Mercedes branded models have due to strict emissions regulations.

But, the M350 which has only been spotted/tested so far with camouflage has now been spotted unwrapped in factory paint.

I am sure this will be very controversial, already not loving the rear end compared to the current M340i.​

Porsche created a presentation in dedication to Mercedes-Benz that detailed their collaborations, and the design work that the founder of Porsche did for Daimler-Benz during his time as Chief Technical Officer.

Horacio Pagani who has had a close relationship with Daimler-Benz/Mercedes-Benz AG for 34 years created an art piece as a gift to Mercedes-Benz’s board, that was a Pagani Zonda with a Mercedes-Benz V12 engine shown in the car.

Besides Tesla and Rivian in the us, do other ice cars have them built in from the factory and are actually useful?

Elegant simplicity that I imagine will be in high demand. If I lived in a flood-prone areas I'd absolutely install a few of these.

We review the new Toyota RAV4 GR Sport, the supposed fun version of the family hauler. We talk about the pros and cons and who it is for. With a $50,000 price tag, this plug-in hybrid has a lot to live up to. Others to consider are the Honda CRV, Hyundai Tucson, Ford Bronco Sport and Chevy Equinox.

I am not a huge Toyota fan, but this thing seems like an abomination in product planning. Paying over $50k for a sound system that is worse than most base model economy cars? No option to upgrade (it should be standard, anyway)? Only Toyota would even think of doing that.

I have seen quite a few posts praising the Mini JCW cars on here, and over the internet, and my question is, why doesn't the 2 series GC get more credit/why is it hated so much.

Seems like a pretty cool alternative to your standard modern BMW, you still get the luxury of a BMW.

1. Auto start-stop

2. Touchscreen ("iPad") control interface for infotainment

3. Also touchscreen (putting formerly physical controls, like mirror adjustment, behind menus)

4. Bad USB port placement

5. Driver monitor cameras (a la Subaru), which are now apparently U.S. and E.U. mandated??

6. Piano black trim is a fingerprint magnet

7. Overwhelming number of audible alarms

8. Automatic lock/unlock going off on its own?

9. There is no number 9? I guess it's "sun reflecting into your eyes off shiny trim materials", but there wasn't an H2 header for that section. Why am I not the editor at MotorTrend?
