Car Design News looks at some of the design stories that may have gone under the radar over the past week. Read on for the latest from MINI, Lamborghini, Lynk & CO and more…
This week’s round-up includes an interesting collaboration, some HMI innovation plus new models and refreshes.

Two Italian icons have come together in a collaboration they say will open up “new brand experiences”.

Lynk & Co Z10
This new electric sedan showcases Lynk & Co’s second-generation design language, although the link with sister brand Zeekr can still be seen – particularly on the front end. The two brands are in the process of creating their own distinct looks, which might take some time.

Bosch hydrogen concept
The Ligier JS2 RH2 prototype has a retro racer feel to it, but is in fact looking to the future with an innovative 3.0-litre biturbo hydrogen engine, chucking out 443 kW of power and 650 Nm of torque. It will be shown during the Le Mans 24 Hours.

Big screens are not going out of fashion. In fact, if Hyundai Mobis’ latest innovation is anything to go by, they’re growing. The panoramic multi-display spans the entire width of the dash and is designed with autonomous driving in mind.

New MINI five door
Extra doors have not resulted in a significantly bigger footprint, with the new five-door Cooper pretty much identical to the three-door.

New Renault Captur

Torsus: destroyer of worlds
The Czech manufacturer says its latest heavy-duty off-road bus has more than 50 technical updates over the prior generation. Bit of a niche one, this, but very fun.

Porsche-ish
There is no shortage of third parties giving their own spin on classic Porsches. At KAMM, the first 912c (a carbon-fibre-bodied homage to the 912) has been delivered to a customer in Florida, while in California, Danish brand Kalmar has delivered the first 7-97 Classic ‘C1’ (based on the 993).
