Following the BMW XM crossover concept, BMW is bringing a lot of that bold styling to the upcoming next generation 7 Series and i7 sedans. Today the brand released multiple photographic teasers of the latter, claiming it is the world’s first true luxury sedan (the Mercedes-EQ EQS is technically a hatchback). While the ICE 7 Series is not included in the photos, it will also benefit from the most interesting feature of the i7 – the 31″ BMW Theatre Screen in the rear seat area.

Aston Martin has fully revealed what is likely the last application ever of its V12 engine, the 2023 V12 Vantage. Following up the V12-powered DBX707 crossover, the Vantage is powered by a twin-turbo 5.2-liter V12 that actually bests the V8 car’s power-to-weight ratio by more than 20 percent.

It went into effect in 2021 and caps vehicle noise levels at 72 decibels. This is a drop from 82 decibels in the 1970s. Car technology has certainly changed, and it just isn’t worth making the changes to this iconic super car. More details on this sad news here.
