The covers are off the CUPRA DarkRebel showcar. Created from obsession, it is the maximum provocation of CUPRA design. A sports car that pushes the boundaries of design and performance and questions the way cars will be imagined and created in the future. It’s the physical translation of the first car fully created in CUPRA’s virtual space, for a future generation of drivers.More than 270,000 CUPRA configurations from the CUPRA Tribe, including brand ambassadors like FC Barcelona players like Alexia Putellas, Marc ter Stegen, and the actor Daniel Brühl helped shape the design of the CUPRA DarkRebel showcar. Data collected from the online Hyper Configurator was injected into the final design of the CUPRA DarkRebel showcar, which has now moved from the virtual to the real world with the reveal of the physical version at the IAA in Munich.The result is a 100% electric two-seat sports car with a shooting brake architecture that reflects the passion and disruptive mindset of the CUPRA brand. Incorporating an enigmatic mercury-like exterior liquid body colour, light as a tangible material and heightened attention to sustainability.
The Lamborghini Revuelto continues the Italian super sports car company’s V12 heritage, taking it into a new, electrified future as the first series production hybrid model. Unveiled in Lamborghini’s 60th anniversary year, the Revuelto redefines super sports performance and driving dynamics through a new design and powertrain, new maximum efficiency aerodynamics and a new carbon frame concept. Its 1015 CV is delivered from an entirely new twelve-cylinder combustion engine, alongside three electric motors powered by a lithium-ion battery pack supporting a fully-electric drive mode, and a new double-clutch gearbox. Deliveries will start in last quarter of 2023.

Purposeful, beautiful and timeless: the new Jaguar F-Type looks more dramatic than ever and embodies Jaguar design DNA in its purest form.The perfect proportions are instantly recognisable, but the new F-Type looks even more focused and assertive, and references the beautiful flowing forms from Jaguar's rich sports car heritage.Super-slim pixel LED headlights with subtly updated 'Calligraphy' J signature daytime running lights and sweeping direction indicators blend perfectly into the 'liquid metal' surfacing of the new clamshell bonnet. The new front bumpers and subtly enlarged grille deliver even more visual impact and presence.The rear haunches enhance the F-Type's inherently dramatic, purposeful form, and sweep downwards to the slender rear LED lights with 'Chicane' signature introduced by the all-electric Jaguar I-PACE Performance SUV.Inside, the driver-focused '1+1' cabin envelops the occupants with luxurious materials such as Sienna Tan Windsor Leather, Suedecloth, Alcantara, and satin-finish Noble Chrome, while Jaguar's craftsmanship is embodied in beautiful details such as monogram stitching on the seats and door trim. These touches blend seamlessly with the new 12.3-inch reconfigurable HD TFT instrument cluster and Touch Pro infotainment system.Form follows function, and one of a Jaguar's functions is to look beautiful. Evolved from its predecessor's World Car Design-winning form, the new F-Type's breath-taking looks are characterised by the super-slim Pixel LED headlights, which enhance the car's purposeful, confident stance.
