British studio La Cinquecento has launched the 500 Scattante, a restomod of the 1973 Fiat 500 that rejects the trend of extreme power. The project retains the car’s iconic proportions while replacing almost every mechanical component.

Milan’s Borromeo de Silva supplied a tougher exterior with wider arches and rally‑style lamps, while the cabin remains uncluttered to preserve the original charm. The [...]

Global Airlines, a British startup that plans to launch long‑haul services using a pre‑owned Airbus A380, now faces compulsory liquidation after creditors filed a winding‑up petition in London’s High Court.

Toyota is betting on U.S. vehicle electrification despite the removal of the $7,500 federal tax credit under the Trump‑era “One Big Beautiful Bill.” A Harvard study released July 6, updated September 17, projects electric vehicles will represent 38 % of all new U.S. car sales by 2030, up from 8 % in 2025 and a correction from an earlier 32 % estimate. The researchers attribute most of the shortfall from a Biden‑era baseline to the tax‑credit elimination, which they say cuts the [...]
