1955 Cadillac Elegante Concept

It is based on a 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible, which was completely redesigned by the Carrozzeria Rocco Motto body shop.

The concept debuted at the 1955 New York Auto Show and immediately attracted attention with its unusual design.

The car is painted white with numerous gold accents, including the headlights, windshield trim, wheels, and removable roof.

The interior is trimmed in red leather, also featuring gold accents.

Under the hood is a 5.4-liter Cadillac V8 paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission.

In over 70 years, the car has covered just 6,966 km, so it will most likely become a museum exhibit or the centerpiece of a private collection. For now, it is up for auction.

The world's first solar powered ambulance

The student team Solar Team Eindhoven has unveiled an unusual project—Stella Juva, the world’s first ambulance capable not only of running on solar power but also of independently powering all its medical equipment.

This is not an emergency ambulance for cities, but a mobile medical unit for remote areas without a stable power supply.

The vehicle is equipped with a defibrillator, a portable X-ray machine, an ultrasound scanner, a vaccine refrigerator, and blood testing equipment—all powered by energy generated by solar panels.

In August, the prototype will travel to Kenya, where it will be tested in collaboration with Amref Health Africa under conditions as close to real-world scenarios as possible.

There are no plans for mass production at this time—the goal of the project is to demonstrate the capabilities of modern solar technology.

Nissan has unveiled the Leaf Nismo—a sporty version of its new electric crossover that focuses not on power, but on a more exhilarating driving experience

The car features aggressive aerodynamic body kit with red accents and a larger spoiler, while the interior includes signature Nismo details and optional Recaro sport seats.

Power remains unchanged at 214 hp from the electric motor paired with a 75 kV·h battery, but engineers have retuned the powertrain’s response.

The main changes are to the chassis: new springs, shock absorbers, and stabilizer bars; modified suspension bushings; and Michelin Pilot Sport 5 tires on Enkei wheels.

In terms of performance, the Leaf Nismo isn’t significantly faster than the standard version, but it promises sharper handling.

The Opel-Rennbahn was one of Germany’s first racetracks, built by Adam Opel AG in 1919

The racetrack was located in a forest about two kilometers south of Rüsselsheim, near the Schönauer-Hof estate.

Car and motorcycle races were once held here, but today almost nothing remains of the legendary track.

The land belongs to the city, and part of the former racetrack was used to lay a water pipeline.

The historic racing arena has gradually become part of the ordinary forest landscape.

The American company Rezvani Motors has unveiled the Dune—an extreme off-road supercar based on the Lamborghini Huracán

Only seven units of this new model will be produced.

The Dune is equipped with a 5.2-liter supercharged V10 engine producing up to 800 hp, developed in collaboration with VF Engineering, and an all-wheel-drive system.

Compared to the Huracan Sterrato, the model features significantly increased ground clearance, a modified suspension, and a reinforced chassis for off-road driving.

Virtually all body panels are made of carbon fiber. The Dune is distinguished by massive wheel arch extensions, off-road tires, and an aggressive design that resembles Baja rally cars more than a classic Italian supercar.

The price has not yet been disclosed.

Another terrible design... The new all-electric Range Rover GT

We’ve kind of gotten used to Range Rover making beautiful SUVs lately, but just look at this...

The company has unveiled the new all-electric Range Rover GT for the first time. It’s not the Velar, as previously thought, but a separate model.

The new model is built on the EMA platform and features an all-electric powertrain, with a hybrid version set to follow later.

Externally, the GT combines elements of the Range Rover Sport and a coupe, and its design is largely inspired by the upcoming Jaguar Type 01. Unfortunately...

The interior features a completely new style with an unusual steering wheel, a digital instrument cluster, and a large central screen.

In short, as is customary these days: completely generic and digital.

Initially, the model will be a four-seater, with a five-seater version to follow later.
