BMW just unveiled the Vision Neue Klasse X concept car, an all-electric "sports-activity vehicle" previewing the iX3 electric crossover that debuts next year. At the Vision Neue Klasse X debut, BMW also had the original Vision Neue Klasse on display—the four-door electric sports sedan from 2023.

Ayrton Senna achieved star status pretty early on in his racing career for making crappy Formula 1 cars perform better than anyone could imagine. By the time he got to McLaren, he was already a global superstar loved by millions in his home country of Brazil and abroad. After his tragic death in 1994, everything Senna-related became collectible and highly sought-after. Well, that game peaks here, because Senna's 1991 Honda NSX is officially up for sale and ready to make a superfan's entire existence.
Aryton Senna had a significant role in the development of the first-generation Honda NSX. The legendary Formula 1 driver put prototypes through the ringer, giving his feedback to engineers on how it could be better. Honda sent him some cars as part of the partnership, and now, one of those cars is for sale. You better have deep pockets, though.
The name “Senna” is a magnet in the world of motorsport — of all sport, period —and when one of his personal automobiles surfaces for sales, flags wave and fireworks explode. This time it’s his bright red Honda NSX, one of three NSX cars he owned, and it's currently being offered for about $622,000 by AutoTrader in the United Kingdom. This particular model is from 1991, and Senna kept it at his home in Portugal. He was often seen tooling around the Algarve in the Honda, and it was featured in the 1992 Senna documentary “Racing Is in My Blood.” Powered by a 3.0-liter V6 making 271 horsepower, the car has a top speed of 165 mph. It has 39,100 miles on the clock.
Climate law experts are already calling it one of the most impactful rulings on human rights and climate change ever made. Today’s judgment, from the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), was read out in front of an eclectic gathering of concerned plaintiffs from around the continent.
The 1960s were an important turning point for BMW. After introducing a Neue Klasse, or new class, of sedan, not only would the German carmaker triple its car sales that decade, but it also delivered one of our all-time favorites, the 2002. Inspired by the past, BMW is debuting future all-electric models under the new Vision Neue Klasse moniker. Last year, BMW unveiled its Vision sedan concept—likely ani3 sedan for 2026—but now there's an all-new Neue Klasse. The biggest to wear the name, the Vision Neue Klasse X goes into production in 2025 in what will likely be the U.S.'s first all-electric X3—the iX3. BMW says the look of the concept is very close to production form. In fact, earlier this year, a camouflaged SUV resembling the Neue Klasse X was spotted testing in the snow. The concept, which was unveiled to us at a media event near Lisbon Portugal, flaunted incredible details. It has reimagined the kidney grille as a dynamic element that's illuminated and backlit, making it look like something you could reach into. The LED headlights share the same feel.

It doesn't matter how hard you try, you can't escape the laws of physics. And even if you sucked at physics class like I did, I can understand one of the more basic principles: more weight equals more friction, and more friction equals more wear and tear. In car speak, a heavy car will erode its brakes quicker than a lighter car. So, you can understand my reaction when I heard that the 2024 Range Rover Sport SV survived hundreds of miles of punishing track duty on a single set of brake pads.
