The dream is set to come true for hippies and fans alike - the Volkswagen Microbus is going to return, for real, in 2022. The German company announced that the all-new model will be shaped on the I.D. Buzz concept electric van, which debuted earlier in 2017 at the Detroit motor show. Keeping things Stateside, the news came ahead of the Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance, where spectacular vintage cars are shown in as-new condition.

Ever thought you'd like to own a ridiculously fast and powerful supercar, but held off for fear of not being able to get it in the exact colour you wanted? Yeah, I haven’t either. Regardless, McLaren has proven that just about anything is possible when it comes to customising a car to a buyer’s taste, revealing a unique version of its latest Super Series model, the 720S. Turn down the contrast of your screen and say hello to the one-off ‘Fux Fuchsia’ 2018 McLaren 720S.

Two examples of one of the world's most iconic supercars, the Ferrari F40, are up for auction this weekend. And, with only 1311 units produced worldwide, it's rare to see any for sale - let alone two. A 1990 F40 recently went under the hammer at Bonham's in the UK, and sold for AU$1,074,433. Remarkably, the final figure was below its estimated auction value of between AU $1.2m and $1.6m.

The Volkswagen Tiguan Adventure has been announced this week, bringing a range of off-road inspired enhancements inside and out for those who more regularly venture off the beaten track. Based on the mid-spec 132TSI Comfortline and 110TDI Comfortline variants, the Tiguan Adventure starts at $43,990 plus on-road costs with the petrol engine and $45,490 for the diesel - representing a $2500 premium over each.

The BMW Concept Z4 has been revealed this week for the Concours d'Elegance at Pebble Beach, previewing the company's next-generation roadster. Seemingly confirming the Z4 name, the concept car previews the production version which will be revealed sometime over the next 12 months. If BMW's previous design studies are anything to go by - think X2 and 8 Series - it's safe to assume the market version will look very similar to the vehicle shown here.
