Mazda CEO Masahiro Moro has revealed that the next-generation MX-5, internally codenamed NE, will offer a pure electric version alongside a possible hybrid variant. The hybrid could pair a new 2.5L Skyactiv-Z engine. To prepare for potential future bans on internal combustion engines in some markets, Mazda is electrifying the MX-5 while maintaining its lightweight philosophy, targeting under 1,200 kg without relying on expensive composite materials. In terms of design, the new MX-5 will heavily draw from the Iconic SP concept unveiled in 2023. Additionally, Mazda plans to create a flagship sports car positioned above the MX-5, potentially hand-built to reinforce the brand's image.

Lamborghini has unveiled the Revuelto Miura 60° Homage, a special edition celebrating 60 years of the iconic Miura. Developed through the Ad Personam personalization program in collaboration with Lamborghini Centro Stile, the model is limited to just 99 units worldwide and will debut during Monterey Car Week. Power comes from a 6.5-liter V12 hybrid system delivering 1,015 horsepower combined output. The exterior offers nine exclusive colors inspired by the original Miura, alongside bespoke liveries and commemorative badges. Inside, the seats feature the signature "cannelloni" diamond quilting pattern. The Revuelto Miura 60° Homage reinterprets the Miura's iconic design language through the proportions of a modern supercar—a tribute to Lamborghini's heritage that also signals the brand's electrified future.

Leapmotor has launched the all-new B03, essentially the international version of the A05, with the brand recently restructuring its naming strategy. As a B-segment electric hatchback targeting global markets, the B03 will open bookings in China on August 10. Visually, it's essentially the B03X (known as A10X in China) without raised ride height and black plastic wheel arch claddings. Two powertrain variants are offered: the base model produces 95 PS (70 kW) with 405 km range, while the higher-end variant delivers 122 PS (90 kW) and 510 km, both on the CLTC cycle using 39.8 kWh and 53 kWh LFP batteries. The interior mirrors the B03X almost identically, featuring an 8.88-inch instrument display, 14.6-inch central touchscreen, pill-shaped air vents, a robot mascot, and a fold-flat front passenger seat. All but the base model get Level 2 driver assists, while top variants gain lidar and highly autonomous driving. Given the B03X is already confirmed for Malaysia, the B03 could reach overseas markets soon.
