Alpine A110 Ultime
The sun is setting on the car that proved once and for all that Renault has what it takes to fight Europe’s best. The Ultime is one last crack at the likes of Porsche: a super-light, track-focused special honed by Alpine’s Formula 1 team. Its aero package produces an extra 160kg of downforce compared with the A110 R on which it’s based, and the additional 49bhp required the fitment of a new gearbox. A fitting end for a hero.

Alpine A390
Meet the “A110 for five”. Previewed by a concept at the 2024 Paris motor show, the A390 is Alpine’s first SUV – and, it hopes, a cash cow to fund its next-generation sports cars.

BMW iX3 Neue Klasse
Previewed by the Vision Neue Klasse X, the successor to today’s iX3 will set the tone for BMW’s future electric line-up. Arriving with a claimed WLTP range of 500 miles, the iX3 will be the longest-range EV on sale in the UK. The new iX3 stays true to the original concept’s design, with the new electric SUV sporting the brand’s fresh kidney grille, new LED headlights and a flatter, more imposing silhouette. BMW’s sixth-generation eDrive system is said to give an efficiency boost of up to 25% over the brand’s existing EVs, with range bolstered by around 30%.
