Ford engineers have been spotted testing a redesigned version of the Ranger mid-size pickup truck. The new Ranger is coming up shortly, and this time the U.S. is expected to receive a high-performance Raptor variant.
Another vehicle out testing is an updated BMW X4. The related X3 is also about to be updated, with both small SUVs expected on sale in the second half of 2021.
French performance brand Alpine is going down the electric-vehicle route, and part of the plan includes jointly developing an electric sports car with Lotus. Alpine will also enter Formula One this year by overtaking the team of parent company Renault.
