Honda rolled into Sea Otter Europe 2026 in Girona with something few expected from the world’s largest motorcycle maker: its first electric mountain bike. The high-end prototype sat on display next to the legendary RN01 downhill racer from the early 2000s, the CR Electric Proto motocross machine, and the RTL Electric trial bike. Frames from both the RN01 and the new e-MTB stood separately so visitors could study the construction up close.
Mat Watson lined up two of Italy’s fiercest plug-in hybrid supercars on the CarWow strip for a straight-line battle that refused to settle quickly. One side brought a lighter, sharper Ferrari. The other brought raw V12 force and four-wheel drive, and the result stayed tight from start to finish.

Mike G of mike.g.concepts has created a digital design that takes the BMW 2002 Turbo and turns it into an electric machine called the i2002 Turbo. This CGI project draws directly from the original car that helped define BMW performance in the 1970s while adding the powertrain of a future M model.
A plain cargo box on four wheels just rolled into the spotlight at IAA Transportation in Hanover, and it has no place for a person to sit. Stellantis Pro One, working with Chinese autonomy specialist UQI Robotics, calls the project BOW. The letters stand for Box On Wheels, and the name is as straightforward as the machine itself.
Chinese manufacturer BYD has rolled out its flagship heavy-duty electric tractor at the IAA Transportation show in Hannover.
