Skoda reveals L&K 130 pickup concept for Tour de France
TDT | agencies Skoda has unveiled the L&K 130, a one-off pickup concept based on the Superb Combi, ahead of the 2025 Tour de France. Built by 28 students from the Skoda Vocational School, the vehicle is designed as a support car for cycling events. Extensively modified, the concept features an extendable cargo bed, a custom rear bicycle rack, and a roof-mounted holder for a third bike.

Mercedes-AMG unveils Concept GT XX
TDT | agencies Mercedes-AMG has revealed the Concept GT XX, its first fully electric concept car and a preview of the brand's upcoming series-production EV. The four-door model is the first to be built on the new skateboard platform, specifically engineered for high-performance electric vehicles. At its core, the GT XX features three axial flux electric motors and a bespoke high-performance battery. The drivetrain technology comes from YASA, a British electric motor specialist and wholly owned subsidiary of Mercedes-Benz. The setup includes two High-Performance Electric Drive Units ( — one at the front and a more powerful one at the rear. The rear houses two axial flux motors, each with a planetary gearbox and water-cooled inverter, all compactly packaged in a single casing. These components are oilcooled for efficiency, and the hydraulic pump control unit is also integrated. The front motor acts as a booster, engaging only when additional traction or power is needed. It can be disconnected via a Disconnect Unit (DCU) to reduce energy loss during cruising. Combined, the system delivers over 1,341 BHP, with rear-wheel drive as the default. Inspired by Formula 1 and the AMG One Hypercar, the GT XX's battery features an 800V architecture and supports ultra-fast DC charging. AMG claims charging speeds of up to 850 kW, enabling 400 km of range to be added in just five minutes — sustained across a wide portion of the charging curve. The Concept GT XX signals Mercedes-AMG's next step in high-performance electrification, blending cutting-edge battery tech with motorsport-grade drive systems.

Toyota Supra's next chapter could include a Lexus sibling
TDT | agencies The Toyota Supra has long been a favourite among sports car enthusiasts around the globe. As the current-generation GR Supra approaches the end of its seven-year production run, Toyota has confirmed that a next-gen model is already in development. But fresh reports from Japan suggest the story might come with a twist — in the form of a Lexus counterpart. According to Japanese publication BestCar, Lexus may be planning its own version of the new Supra, potentially serving as a replacement for both the discontinued RC and the ageing LC models. While the upcoming GR Supra will stick to a traditional two-seat sports car layout, the Lexus variant is expected to adopt a 2+2 seating configuration, offering a more grand touring character. A convertible version is reportedly under consideration as well. To distinguish itself further, the Lexus model is likely to feature a more luxurious interior, in keeping with the brand's premium positioning. Both cars are expected to be powered by a new 2.0-litre turbocharged four-cylinder engine paired with a self-charging hybrid system. Power will be sent to the rear wheels via either an 8-speed or 10-speed automatic transmission, with a lightweight carbon fibre propeller shaft ensuring strength and efficiency. The next-generation Supra is anticipated to debut sometime in 2026 or 2027, with the Lexus version likely to follow shortly after.
