German car-builder eClassics – a Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles partner – has released its e-Bulli, a conversion package that takes a classic T1 Samba Bus and adds Volkswagen’s electric vehicle technology. The e-Bulli was originally slated for debut at the Techno Classica 2020 trade fair, however due to the event’s postponement, Volkswagen has revealed the car online.

The smaller and less hardcore of two new Ford Bronco models, the 2021 Ford Bronco Sport, has had its key specifications leaked online as the new model joins Ford’s US ordering system, less than a fortnight after leaked images surfaced online.

Several carmakers in the United States are allowing new car buyers to delay or reschedule their car finance payments amid closures and financial uncertainty caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. In an effort to maintain new car sales during a time of financial uncertainty, manufacturers like Ford, Hyundai, General Motors, Toyota and Nissan are offering their US customers alternate options if they can't continue to make payments.

Mercedes-AMG’s new performance plug-in hybrid GT 73 has been spied completing winter testing in Sweden. With most of the test mule’s camouflage removed, it’s clear to see just how extensively the model’s styling has been lifted from the four-door GT 63. Large air dams reside up front while chunky, twin-tip mufflers rest on either side of a rear diffuser. However, Mercedes has kept the covers on the GT 73’s rear bumper and – most importantly – its charging port.
