Renault has just unveiled the Bridger Concept, a name that speaks to the idea of forging connections with something solid at the core. It seems to be a big part of their push into new markets, and India is clearly at the heart of that ambition. The car was engineered locally, and will be built at Renault’s Chennai facility. A production version is expected to roll out by the end of 2027 before finding its way to other parts of the world.
Hyundai just released a teaser for its Crater concept, a compact SUV built to shred through some extremely difficult country terrain. The sketches shared online have all the makings of a serious vehicle, with proportions that scream “take me offroad” and an attitude that indicates it can handle whatever the great outdoors throws at it. Short overhangs will come in help when squeezing through tight spaces, and the broad fenders are perfectly sized to hug the chunky tires that appear to be designed to chunk through sand.
Mazda unveiled the Vision-X Coupe this week at the Japan Mobility Show, and curiosity turned into a full-on stare-down. Four doors, a taut shape, and a powertrain that looks back to the company’s heritage while simultaneously looking forward – this concept exudes promise. Built with 2035 as its first objective, the automobile challenges the boundaries of what a grand tourer should be, combining sharp lines with the practical room required on the road.

Porsche enthusiasts fill the void left by official announcements with their own ideas and Ugur Sahin has done one of the best. From his studio in the Netherlands, Sahin unveiled renderings of the Porsche 960 GT RS, a concept that picks up where the 918 left off a decade ago.
