Preview: A junior and a dog-year-old
Technically, not much has changed, but visually everything is as good as new: Dacia has thoroughly overhauled the Spring and given it a new price tag. The small electric car remains the cheapest electric car on the European market - and the punitive tariffs are unlikely to change that. Frank Wald was on the road with the "first real all-electric people's car" (in rainy Bordeaux). The Goodwood Festival of Speed in the UK this coming weekend is all about cars of a completely different caliber. The once British and now Chinese brand MG is celebrating its 100th birthday there
Our author Hans-Robert Richarz was there when journalists were able to gain their first experience with the new Alfa Romeo Junior Elettrica 280 on a strictly cordoned-off test track in Balocco, not far from Milan. At its presentation in April, the car was still called Milano, but four days later it was renamed under pressure from Italy's neo-fascist government.
40 years ago, Harley-Davidson debuted the Softail and the new Evolution engine. If you want to relive the feeling of that time, you can still do so today: for example with the Softail Standard, whose philosophy is purism. We present the cult brand's entry-level chopper in a practical test.
Following its latest refresh, the Mercedes V-Class is now at the top of the van segment in Germany. Michael Kirchberger was on the road with the powerful V 300.
In the middle of the peak travel season and in the run-up to the Düsseldorf Caravan Salon in a few weeks' time, the French and Italian brands are presenting their new products for the coming season at Trigano House. It will be interesting to see whether the time has come again for a bargain or two after the overproduction in the motorhome industry.
As usual, we will be providing you with further news from the world of cars and motorcycles throughout the week. (aum)
