FIA approved ABB Formula E championship has for the very first time physically revealed the next generation of its race cars. Designed to be used for the next three seasons, the car will make its competitive debut in the 2018/19 season of the series. With almost double the energy storage capacity and double the range of the current car, the Gen2 will enable the teams and drivers to complete a full race at higher speeds, without making a mid-race car swap. The Gen2 Formula E car is the first vehicle to have been designed by the FIA - the governing body of motorsport.
Corbellati showcased the Missile hypercar, which it says will be the world’s fastest car of its kind. Corbellati, a family that has been sculpting jewellery and fine art for the past 70 years, said the engine is a 9.0L twin-turbo V8, which produces 1,800 horsepower allowing the vehicle to reach top speeds of 498km/h — a speed that would officially place it on top of the hypercar speed rankings.
Zenvo, the Danish hand-built hypercar, has unveiled its new model: the TSR-S, which will be the third model in its range in addition of TS1 GT and TSR models.

Citroen presented the third-generation of Berlingo. The load-lugger has been launched with air bumps, contrasting colour inserts and a raised ride – all features traditionally associated with youth-centric small soft-roaders. The new Berlingo utilises PSA’s EMP2 platform, also used by the Peugeot 308. In addition to a stronger chassis, it comes with many assistance technologies such as lane-departure warnings, adaptive cruise control, auto-emergency braking between 5 and 85km/h, a trailer stability control system and intelligent high-beam headlights. Engine choice is split between the PureTech 1.2-litre petrol engine (110hp and 130hp), and the 1.5- litre turbo-diesel (75, 100 and 130hp), both either paired to a 6-speed manual or 8- speed automatic. The dashboard is an 8.0-inch touchscreen with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and wireless smartphone charging. The market launch is scheduled for the second half of 2018.
The new car from David Brown Automotive, is the Speedback Silverstone Edition, a 600bhp ‘hardcore’ version of the Speedback GT. David Brown are calling the Silverstone Edition a high performance Grand Tourer. The 600 horsepower come from a tuned version of the 5.0-liter supercharged V-8 in the Speedback GT. The styling is inspired by 1950s and 1960s racing GT cars, and will be limited to just 10 cars.
