Four Mercedes-AMG One hypercars were spotted testing together in Granada, Spain. With only 275 customer cars, the F1-engined hypercar is a rare sight. It is unclear what Mercedes was testing, as production of the One started over a year ago. A follow-up hypercar has been ruled out due to emissions regulations, but the hybrid technology could be applied to future performance models from AMG. The AMG One features a 1.6-liter V6 engine with an 11,000 rpm redline, but it requires rebuilding every 31,000 miles. Former Mercedes F1 driver Valtteri Bottas has already taken delivery of his AMG One, and Nico Rosberg is also waiting for his hypercar.

Stellantis plans to manufacture the platform in multiple countries and has designed it to accommodate future battery chemistries. The company aims to have 100% of its European passenger car sales and 50% of its U.S. passenger car and light-duty truck sales as battery EVs by 2030.
Volkswagen will not develop a new combustion engine generation of its Golf car, according to brand chief Thomas Schaefer. The Golf 8, currently in production, will be the last combustion engine version of the hatchback car, with one more series of updates expected next year.

The carmaker plans to launch 10 new electric models by 2026, including a battery-electric car for under €25,000.
