The Countach was a trailblazer that redefined what a Lamborghini could be. For the first time, Lamborghini brought the creation of the bodywork and interiors in-house, a move that would become a hallmark of the brand's craftsmanship and tradition. And now, as Lamborghini celebrates this milestone, they’ve brought the original Countach LP 400 back to its birthplace, where today the Lamborghini Revuelto is crafted, for a nostalgic photo shoot blending past and present.

Experiencing The Future Of Driving With MINI Mixed Reality

MINI debuted its "MINI Mixed Reality" technology at the international media launch of the all-new MINI Cooper Electric in Sitges, Spain.


MINI's first attempt at building an EV was well, a little bit mixed. Yes, the MINI Electric was agile and had a cosy interior, but the range was frankly pathetic, and it couldn't charge up very quickly. So, back to the drawing board, and this is attempt number two. The push towards electrification is a necessity driven by stringent regulations demanding a significant increase in the number of electric vehicles globally. MINI is stepping up to the plate, with last year’s electric sales making up 14% of its total.
