Alpina has presented the 2025 XB7 SUV, and for the new model year, the luxurious seven-seater has been given the Manufaktur treatment, with several special touches. For the record, the XB7 is an even more opulent and even more powerful version of the BMW X7. As standard, the X7's range-topping M60i trim's 4.4-liter twin-turbocharged V8 delivers 523 horsepower, but in the XB7, you get 612 hp.

In McLaren's case, that magic number would have to be £240,000, or approximately $312,000 at current exchange rates. The interesting disclosure was made by CEO Michael Leiters in an interview with Automotive News Europe.

While electric vehicles (EVs) have improved in terms of efficiency and thus driving range, they're still often inferior compared to their gasoline-powered counterparts. While we get easily impressed when an EV hits the 300-mile mark, that's something that you can easily get with a gas-powered vehicle.

As the automotive world edges closer to an all-electric future, some brands are making the most of their high-performance internal combustion engines before they bid them farewell. The 2025 Audi RS3 and Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing are prime examples of this, both featuring a unique combination of performance features that almost put them in a league of their own. Turbocharging unites them, but from there, they're wildly different: five-cylinder to V6, AWD to RWD, manual to DCT.
