This Is What Happens When Ferrari Lets AI Assist In Design

Ferrari’s F76 marks 76 years since its 1949 Le Mans victory. The carmaker hasn’t disclosed pricing for the exclusive NFT. The F76 features separate driver and passenger cockpit cells. It’s been a while since the NFT (or non-fungible tokens) craze fizzled out, leaving many to realize, somewhat belatedly, that digital tokens don’t hold much intrinsic value. Still, Ferrari has decided that now is the perfect moment to enter that very space, unveiling a digital-only hypercar called the F76, sold as an NFT . Read: Ferrari Built A Modern F40 Tribute But Forgot The Most Important Thing The Ferrari Styling Center designed the car, drawing its name from the 166 MM Barchetta that took victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans exactly 76 years ago, in 1949. The company describes the F76’s creation process as using “generative design,” though it remains unclear how much of that process actually involves artificial intelligence or where it comes into play. Design Language or Digital ...

BMW M’s iX3 Is Hiding Something Under Its Hood

An M-tuned BMW iX3 prototype was caught testing with an aggressive bodykit. Lowered suspension, larger wheels and beefier brakes hint at its performance. It could debut next year with a dual-motor setup likely packing over 600 hp. BMW seems pleased with how the Neue Klasse iX3 has been received so far, and development is already moving ahead on new versions of the electric SUV. Naturally, some of these will lean toward the performance end of the spectrum, shaped by the engineering and design input of the M division. Our spy photographers recently spotted a performance-focused iX3 prototype on public roads near the Nürburgring. Compared to earlier test cars, this M-badged version appears to have evolved, wearing many components that look close to production. BMW is reportedly planning not one but at least two M variants of the iX3: an M Performance model, likely to wear the iX3 M60 badge, and a full-fledged iX3 M. It’s not yet clear which one was caught testing here, b...

Dacia’s Best Seller Could Be Headed For A Big Transformation

Next-gen Sandero is expected to debut in 2028 with new styling. Renderings show slimmer lights, sharper lines, and a taller profile. Dacia may add a hybrid setup pairing petrol and electric power. Earlier this month, Dacia gave the Sandero and Sandero Stepway another round of updates, marking the second facelift in just three years. The move keeps the lineup fresh for a little longer, but this is likely its final polish before an all-new generation arrives in 2028. The renderings published by Kolesa aim to predict what the next Sandero might look like in Stepway form, though the regular hatchback should share most of its cues. The design appears more contemporary than the current facelift, though it’s debatable whether it’s actually an improvement. Read: Dacia’s Budget Stars Just Got A Serious Glow-Up Since Dacia hasn’t yet started public testing, these digital sketches are purely speculative. Even so, they offer a glimpse of where the next Stepway might be head...
