The automotive and design world mourns the loss of Marcello Gandini, the creator of legendary vehicles and a formative figure in Italian design. We pay tribute to the designer who created so many automotive icons. With memories of one of his most radical designs.

The world is going crazy over this hypercar from Croatia. Our author got to drive it.

Last week, Bentley and Lamborghini landed a viral Valentine's Day clip, tailored for both brands by ramp.space. It's especially wonderful when the passion continues untethered from 14 February. This is exactly what you can see in our behind-the-scenes footage.

The BMW i7 M70 is almost everything. It is also a bit of an electric social and mobility discourse. Above all, however, it is simply good. Oh yes: a detailed price list for the optional extras is also included free of charge.

When it comes to looks, you can do like the Formula 1 teams and follow the motto that less effort is more - or like Proton Competition, who have given their Porsche 963 a full retro makeover. The result is historically beautiful and simply "F.A.T.".

How will car brands present themselves in the future? Preferably unconventional and enduringly desirable. The new CUPRA City Garage is more than just a showroom, it is a place where you can celebrate culture and lifestyle and experience the brand’s DNA up close. We decided to see for ourselves.

Today at 12.30 pm, Porsche is presenting the electrified Macan - with ultra-modern drive systems and a sharpened design. Follow the world premiere from Singapore in the livestream here.

Automotive art and Italy? They belong together. Just think of Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alfa Romeo or the legendary coachbuilders such as Bertone and Pininfarina. In Apulia, the whole thing is thought of on a smaller scale - but no less artistically. A visit to model maker Marco Laviola and his luxury miniatures.

Tackling your bad mood on the infamous "Blue Monday", the third Monday in January? Either with specially prescribed mood enhancers from the pharmacy. Or an over-the-counter alternative: the blue Mercedes-Benz AMG GT S E-Performance.

A careful approach doesn't work. The Countach slams into your consciousness. And always all of a sudden. You see it - and WOW! A bizarrely jagged silhouette like an apparition from another world. The perfect car for Feast of Fabulous Wild Men Day, which our friends in the USA brought to life at some point.

Did Albrecht Dürer design the first 911? Probably not. Though if you’ve ever read a certain famous publication by art historian Heinrich Wölfflin, you could easily believe that he had. The book makes no mention of cars – but that’s beside the point.

It’s time. With the 750S, the last combustion-only model to come out of Woking takes to the stage – and delivers a perfect (final) performance. But first we stop to take in the sea.

Between the years is exactly the right time to reflect a little: on what you have achieved and what you want to achieve in the coming twelve months. We're happy to do so - and therefore look back on five highlights of our ramp year.
