The World Rally Championship (WRC) has revamped its regulations for 2027 in a bid to lower costs and encourage more participation. However, Toyota is the only manufacturer to publicly commit for now and is already testing in Portugal but their new camouflaged machine looks nothing like the Toyota GR Yaris used previously. Is this our first look at the all-new Toyota GR Celica?That Toyota will be reviving the legendary nameplate is not news but we have yet to see any indication of its design, until now Toyota whipped out its new WRC challenger in testing.

The next-generation 2027 Toyota Fortuner has been spotted testing in Thailand, and while the spyshots only reveal a heavily camouflaged prototype, they give us just enough to start piecing things together.We have taken a closer look at the images and visualised what the new Fortuner could look like, using the recently revealed 2026 Toyota Hilux as a reference point.The newly surfaced front spyshot shows a more upright and squared-off fascia. The grille appears larger and more vertical than the outgoing model, with what looks like a mesh pattern beneath the camouflage wrap.

Lamborghini Lanzador will not proceed as a full battery-electric production model, according to a report by The Sunday Times.Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann reportedly told the British newspaper that demand for full EVs within the brand’s target market is currently “close to zero”, prompting the decision to halt development of the all-electric model.The Lanzador was unveiled as a concept in 2023 and originally slated for a 2028 production debut. It was presented as a high-riding, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive model producing over one megawatt, equivalent to 1,360 PS. Lamborghini avoided labelling it an SUV or crossover, though at 1.5 metres tall it sat lower than the Lamborghini Urus.
