Sources have said Ferrari is getting ready to unveil the secret project, known internally as 'SP42'.

May, 2020: Spy photos have emerged of the second-generation Mercedes-Benz GLC SUV three years before it is due in showrooms. Rarely are prototypes out on public roads so far ahead of their release date, but we’re guessing Mercedes-Benz is fast-tracking development of what has become a key model for the brand. The current Mercedes-Benz GLC – which went into production in 2015 – only just received its mid-life facelift, but already engineers are working on the second generation model.

The parent company of Mercedes-Benz has agreed to settle an investigation and lawsuit into diesel emissions cheat software in the US.

Jim Ratcliffe, the founder and owner of Ineos, has previously said the idea of the Grenadier came from Land Rover ceasing production of its original Defender in 2016, and introducing an all-new Defender this year.
