The New Bugatti Brouillard One-Off Is Very, Very Green—Even Inside
The Bugatti Brouillard is a green, one-off car commissioned as a tribute to founder Ettore Bugatti's favorite horse. It features a Chiron-based W16 engine, pistachio leather interior, and intricate horse-themed details. Part of Bugatti's Solitaire program, it highlights bespoke design.

The car features two-tone bodywork, while air ducts behind the glass roof are stamped with "W16" to indicate the engine that lives behind the cabin. Curiously, the word "Chiron" doesn't appear anywhere in the Bugatti press release, but it does say the Brouillard is built on "Bugatti's W16-powered platform featuring the ... legendary quad-turbocharged engine." So, the Chiron.
The interior is arguably the pièce de résistance. Pistacchio-hued leather wraps the seats, armrests, and dashboard. Olive-toned carbon fiber arcs throughout. Woven tartan fabric is applied to the door cards, steering wheel, and seat inserts. Even if green isn't your thing, you have to respect the extensive color-drenching used here.
As for equine motif? Bugatti says the unnamed commissioning owner is a huge Bugatti fan and wanted to capture founder Ettore Bugatti's love of horses. Brouillard—for which this one-off car is named—was Ettore's most favoritest horse, and he's the inspiration behind the embroidered patterns on the doors and seats.
Furthermore, the machined aluminum gear shifter contains a glass insert with Brouillard's likeness sculpted within.
The Bugatti Brouillard is the first creation from Bugatti's newly formed Solitaire program. To you and me, solitaire is a game we play when there's no internet, but to Bugatti, it's a way to deliver an even more personalized experience to its clients. It truly sounds like the sky's the limit here, as Bugatti claims "... there will be no compromise to performance, quality or design. Each ... Solitaire will be unique and peerless, offering a level of attention to detail not found in even the most exclusive automotive creations."
We'll take its word for it!
The Solitaire program will only produce two cars per year, and these will be based on existing Bugatti chassis and powertrains. The real focus will be on bespoke bodywork and cabin details.

Scania is doubling down on its efforts to drive the shift towards sustainable transport, with the launch of a Europe-wide electric truck roadshow
SÖDERTÄLJE, Sweden, Aug. 15, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Never before have so many different types of electric trucks been showcased to such a wide variety of customers across Europe. All told, The electric journey: an optimisation road show will bring six different Scania electric trucks to 13 European cities between mid-August and mid-December, allowing customers and potential customers to see and experience these electric vehicles for themselves. The events, which start in Denmark and end in Sweden after a 20,000km journey all over Europe, will also act as a conversation starter for battery charging strategies. There will be a chance to discuss the pros and cons of maximum battery capacity versus capacity that is optimised for individual customers' specific operations. Meanwhile the trucks, which cover urban, tipper, hooklift, tractor and refuse collection applications, will be charged on multiple occasions during the tour at chosen charging points throughout the continent. The roadshow underlines Scania's unwavering commitment to electrification as the key way to achieve sustainable transport where infrastructure and technologies allow. It's a bold new initiative in the company's efforts to explain, promote and provide its solutions and ecosystem for electric transport. "We understand that many operators still have questions and concerns about electric transport," says Alexandra Österplan, E-mobility stream leader at Scania. "So, rather than sitting back and assuming people will come to us, we are driving our electric trucks to where they are so they can see and experience for themselves the business benefits that electrification can bring, as well as address their queries about electric vehicle batteries and provide advice on charging technologies and strategies." "We know from the surprised, positive reactions that we have had from customers who test our electric trucks that seeing truly is believing, and we are convinced that this roadshow will win hearts and minds to make the switch to electric transport." A full list of the roadshow venues, the six Scania electric trucks that will be on show and the designated charging points can be found here.

How Syrian Immigrants Are Boosting Germany's Economy
Diar Khal clearly recalls the moment he arrived in Germany: Dec. 6, 2014, a few minutes past 6 p.m. It marked the end of an extended period in limbo after fleeing civil war in Syria at the age of 12, followed by three years of long hours at grueling jobs in Turkey. At the time he knew Germany was the home of Mercedes-Benz, but not much more. A little more than a decade later, Khal speaks German fluently, lives in the industrial city of Mannheim and employs 15 people full time at his startup that makes an app aimed at helping immigrants navigate German bureaucracy. It's the kind of success story that's frequently overlooked in Germany's heated debate about migration. More than 83,000 Syrians became German citizens last year, the largest group by far. And about two-thirds of refugees who arrived from 2013 to 2019 now have jobs, with their employment level just 9 percentage points below the national average, according to the Institute for Employment Research. When the crisis started, it would have been considered a success if even half of refugees were working at this stage, given the significant barriers to assimilation, says Herbert Brücker, head of migration studies at the state-funded group. 'There are substantial costs at the beginning,' he says, but as refugees start working, they're no longer a drain on public finances. 'The glass is more half full than half empty.'

BMW Says Goodbye to the 8 Series With Stunning Heritage Colors
BMW is aiming to send off the 8 Series with a retro-inspired bang. The big grand tourer, rumored to end production next year, is getting a limited Edition M Heritage model to celebrate the original car from the 1990s. And the colors are excellent . Based on the M850i xDrive Gran Coupe and limited to just 500 examples, the Edition M Heritage pays homage to the E31-generation 8 Series , sold from 1990 to 1999, with an array of colors available on the original car. Buyers will have a choice between Bright Red, Mauritius Blue, Cosmos Black, Oxford Green, or Daytona Violet. The special touches don't stop there. No matter which color you choose, the Edition M Heritage comes with a carbon roof with M tri-color stripes, along with special 20-inch alloy wheels. The M Sport Professional package, usually an optional extra, also comes standard. It adds things like better brakes, black calipers, and more black exterior trim. There are more changes inside. The M Sport seats are sheathed in Alcantara and black Merino leather stitched in a diamond pattern. Alcantara also covers the headliner, the dashboard, and parts of the door panels, while the dash is coated in matte carbon fiber. There's also tri-color M stitching everywhere, along with a cupholder cover and doorsill plates that read "M850i Edition M Heritage" and "1/500." Photo by: BMW Photo by: BMW Photo by: BMW The Edition M Heritage's mechanicals are unchanged from the normal M850i xDrive Grand Coupe. That means a 4.4-liter twin-turbo V-8 under the hood making 523 horsepower and 553 pound-feet of torque. Thrust gets to all four wheels via an eight-speed automatic, with BMW quoting a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 155 miles per hour. BMW makes it clear there are no options available for the Edition M Heritage—it'll come equipped with everything standard. That means things like the Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound System and the Driving Assistance Professional Package are included. The only thing the customer needs to do is pick a paint color. That means it'll be expensive. The Edition M Heritage carries an MSRP of $131,575, including a $1,175 destination charge—just over $23,000 more than a normal M850i Gran Coupe. Production is set to begin towards the end of 2025, with first deliveries planned for early next year. 26 Source: BMW More on the 8 Series The BMW M8 Gets One Last Power Boost Before It's Gone This Beautiful Widebody BMW 8 Series Hides an M5-Sourced V-10 Get the best news, reviews, columns, and more delivered straight to your inbox, daily. back Sign up For more information, read our Privacy Policy and Terms of Use .
