The cabin features the MMI panoramic display with a curved "digital stage" widescreen incorporating instrument and infotainment displays, plus a passenger screen, alongside automatic doors—a first for Audi. Exterior cues include a taller, more upright glasshouse with thick D-pillars, and A6-derived dual-tier OLED taillights with an illuminated four-ring badge. Quad exhaust exits suggest an SQ9 variant. The interior adopts a column-mounted gear selector and multi-function stalk integrating lighting and wiper controls.

Bentley has unveiled the fourth-generation Continental GT Supersports, the fourth Supersports model in history and the first Continental GT to weigh under two tonnes. Deleting the hybrid system, it features a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 producing 666 PS and 800 Nm, achieving the highest power density of any Bentley engine at 166.5 PS per litre. The uprated ZF eight-speed dual-clutch transmission features reinforced clutches and a new shift map for sharper shifts. As the first rear-wheel-drive Continental GT for the road, it sprints from 0-100 km/h in 3.7 seconds with a top speed of circa 310 km/h. The engine incorporates a strengthened crankcase, uprated cylinder heads, and larger turbos, positioning the Supersports as the most driver-focused Continental GT ever.

The Fangchengbao Formula S GT shooting brake has been spotted in production form for the first time, revealing a low-slung, widebody estate profile with a streamlined front fascia featuring large air ducts, subtly bulged hood lines, and a roof-mounted LiDAR sensor.

All three models exceed five meters in length with a three-meter wheelbase, targeting a Q3 2026 Chinese market launch. The sighting confirms Fangchengbao's entry into the premium shooting brake segment, expanding the Formula series lineup with a focus on aerodynamic efficiency and advanced driver assistance hardware.
