Auto Shows

Two GFG Style concept cars, the battery-electric Desert Raid and the open-top Bandini Dora, made their world premieres last week. A third, the Vision 2030 BEV, debuted in December in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

The limited-production 4-door receives a series of mechanical upgrades over the existing Giulia Quadrifoglio, including a 21-hp lift in output to make the Giulia GTA the most powerful production Alfa Romeo model yet.

The ID. 4 is Volkswagen's second EV to receive rear-wheel drive, with an all-wheel-drive option planned within the first 12 months of sales.

Porsche says the traditional range-topping 911 model has been comprehensively re-engineered to provide it with more power than at any time in its illustrious 45-year history.

Italdesign says only 50 Nissan GT-R50s will be built.

Gary Robinson, head of product planning for the Honda Div., says the new Type R features revised styling, improved handling and braking, better engine cooling and the addition of standard safety and driver-assistance technologies.

By 2025, a third of Audi’s product portfolio will be electric, says Cody Thacker, Audi of America’s head of electrification.
