BMW M 1000 RR Isle of Man TT Edition Revealed: Limited To 115 Units

BMW Motorrad has revealed the M 1000 RR Isle of Man TT Edition, a limited-run superbike created to commemorate the 115th running of the Isle of Man Tourist Trophy in 2026. Based on the BMW M 1000 RR M Competition, the special edition will be limited to just 115 units globally.

The motorcycle celebrates BMW Motorrad’s long-standing association with the Isle of Man TT, one of the most iconic road races in the world, while adding a number of edition-specific cosmetic and collector-focused elements.

 

Visually, the standout feature is the British Racing Green Uni Matt paint finish combined with TT-specific graphics inspired by the Isle of Man Mountain Course. BMW says the left side fairing features selected left-hand corners from the circuit, while the right side carries graphics of right-hand bends from the TT course.

 

The bike also gets a Satin Chrome-finished aluminium fuel tank, black swingarm and a matte-finished carbon fibre airbox cover featuring Mountain Course graphics and TT branding. Other special touches include a black Alcantara seat, TT badging on the rear frame and individually milled numbering on the top yoke.

 

BMW Motorrad is also bundling several accessories with the special edition, including an M Race Cover Kit, rear paddock stand, mounting hardware and a dedicated M motorcycle mat featuring both BMW M and TT logos.

Mechanically, the Isle of Man TT Edition remains identical to the standard M 1000 RR M Competition. The superbike continues to be powered by a 999cc inline-four engine producing 212 bhp, paired with BMW’s race-derived electronics and aerodynamic package.

 

The Isle of Man TT remains an important part of BMW Motorrad’s racing legacy. More recently, BMW riders such as Peter Hickman and Davey Todd have secured multiple wins aboard the S 1000 RR and M 1000 RR on the Mountain Course, with Hickman also setting the outright TT lap record in 2023 aboard a BMW M 1000 RR.

BMW has not announced prices and market availability yet, though the motorcycle is expected to command a significant premium over the standard M 1000 RR owing to its exclusivity and collector appeal.

2026 Tata Tiago Facelift Interior Revealed

After previewing the exterior of the 2026 Tiago earlier this week, Tata Motors has now revealed the interior of the updated model ahead of its launch on May 28, 2026. Much like the exterior, the cabin too has undergone a fairly comprehensive redesign, with the hatchback receiving some notable changes.

 

Also Read: 2026 Tata Tiago Facelift: What’s New?

The most obvious change is the completely redesigned dashboard. Unlike the outgoing Tiago’s slightly cluttered layout, the new cabin adopts a more minimalist theme. The dashboard now features a new floating touchscreen that sits higher up. Below it is a slimmer set of centrally positioned AC vents and a narrow row of physical toggle-like controls. Behind the two-spoke steering wheel, a fully digital instrument cluster housed in a separate floating pod.

Lower down, the centre console has also been completely reworked. The updated Tiago now gets a rotary gear selector instead of a conventional gear lever, while the gloss black centre tunnel integrates dual cupholders. Moreover, it also gets a dual wireless charging pad setup positioned beneath the climate control panel. Tata has also integrated USB charging ports above the tray.

 

Also Read: 2026 Tata Tiago EV: What Has Changed?

The climate control unit itself gets a cleaner interface with rotary dials and a smaller gloss-black housing. Meanwhile, the front seats and door pads feature a new dual-tone grey and black upholstery theme. At the rear, rear AC vents can also be spotted behind the centre console, along with a Type-C charging port.

 

Feature-wise, Tata had already confirmed earlier that the updated Tiago will get a 360-degree camera system, evident from the cameras mounted on the ORVMs and front bumper. The touchscreen infotainment system is also expected to be larger than before and support wireless smartphone connectivity.

On the outside, the 2026 Tiago also gets a noticeable visual refresh, especially at the front. The earlier mesh-heavy grille has now been replaced by a cleaner gloss-black panel stretching between the headlamps, while the bumper has been redesigned with a larger blacked-out lower section and sharper detailing around the edges. The rear receives updated LED taillamps featuring a tri-arrow lighting signature connected by a black trim strip across the tailgate.

 

Mechanically, the hatchback is expected to remain unchanged. The Tiago will likely continue with the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, offered with both manual and automatic gearbox options, while the CNG variants are also expected to continue in the lineup.

Honda ZR-V Hybrid SUV Debuts In India; Deliveries Start In July 2026

Honda Car India has unveiled the ZR-V hybrid SUV ahead of its launch in the coming weeks. The ZR-V is only the second SUV in Honda's current portfolio in India, sitting a few rungs higher than the Creta-rivalling Elevate. It's also the first time Honda has launched a hybrid SUV in India. It will be available in four colours – white, grey and two different shades of black. Pre-bookings for the SUV – which will be shipped in from Japan as a completely built-up unit (CBU) – open today, and deliveries will begin in the second half of July, Honda announced at the ZR-V's India debut.

 

Also Read: 2026 Honda City Facelift Launched In India; Prices Start At Rs. 12 Lakh

 

Honda ZR-V: Dimensions

 

The ZR-V is the largest car in Honda's India portfolio. Measuring in at 4,657 mm in length, 1,840 mm in width and 1,621 mm in height, the ZR-V is closer in size terms to the now-discontinued Hyundai Tucson than it is to the likes of the Skoda Kodiaq and Volkswagen Tayron it will end up competing against. The ZR-V has a wheelbase of 2,655 mm, and the India-spec model rides on 18-inch alloy wheels.

 

 

Honda ZR-V: Hybrid powertrain and efficiency

 

Under the hood, the ZR-V has a 2.0-litre, direct-injection petrol engine, which is paired to an electric motor. Combined peak power output is 181 bhp and 315 Nm of torque, which enables a claimed 0-100 kmph acceleration time of 7.9 seconds. Top speed of the Honda ZR-V is rated at 173 kmph.

 

More importantly, though, the strong hybrid system spells a high fuel efficiency figure of 22.80 kmpl for the ZR-V, which makes it one of India's most frugal petrol-powered cars.

 

 

Honda ZR-V: Interior and features

 

Step inside the ZR-V, and you're greeted by an all-black interior colour scheme, and a clean, sensibly laid-out dashboard. The India-spec ZR-V has leather upholstery with contrast stitching, soft-touch materials and metallic accents. A freestanding 9.0-inch touchscreen infotainment system takes pride of place on the dashboard, and the gear selector buttons are placed on the floating centre console. 

 

Equipment inside the ZR-V includes dual-zone automatic climate control, a 12-speaker Bose sound system, powered front seats with a memory function for the driver's seat and a 10-inch digital instruments display.

 

Honda ZR-V: Safety features

 

The ZR-V comes with a total of eight airbags, including a knee airbag, as well as advanced driver assistance systems, such as adaptive cruise control, autonomous emergency braking, low-speed follow, lane keep assist and a driver attention monitor, among others.

 

Also included are disc brakes for all four wheels, hill start assist, hill descent control, front parking sensors and acoustic vehicle alert system for low-speed electric-only driving.

 

Honda ZR-V: Expected pricing

 

Honda is likely to announce the prices for the ZR-V in June, but the hybrid SUV is unlikely to be cheap, given it is a full import. We expect the ZR-V to be priced upwards of Rs 45 lakh (ex-showroom), which would peg it against bigger premium SUVs such as the Kodiaq and the Tayron R-Line.

New VinFast VF8 Shrinks In Size, Makes More Power Offers 500 km Range

VinFast has unveiled the new-gen VF8 mid-size electric SUV ahead of it going on sale in international markets. A step below the flagship VF9 SUV, the VF8 receives a notable design redesign as well as new battery and electric motors and upgrades to the on-board tech.
 

Also read: All-Electric Vinfast MPV 7 Launched In India, Priced At Rs. 24.49 Lakh
 

New VinFast VF8: Exterior Design & Dimensions
 

VinFast has actually shrunk the VF8 in size, with the new SUV sitting on a 110 mm shorter wheelbase at 2,840 mm. Overall, the SUV measures in at 4,701 mm long - 49 mm smaller, 1,872 mm wide - 62 mm narrower and 1670 mm tall - 3 mm taller.

 

The new VF8 takes on a more contemporary design than the model it replaces, with smoother surfacing and sleeker detailing. The fascia is characterised by a prominent blacked-out enclosed grille that flows into a central intake lower down on the bumper. The headlamp design is also sleeker than on the outgoing model, with integrated segmented LED eyebrows. As on other VinFast models, the V-shaped lightbar design element is retained with the units flowing inwards from the headlamps.
 

In profile, the VF8 gets a redesigned glasshouse with a sharp upwards kink visible behind the rear doors and into a black strip at the top of the D-pillar to lend the SUV a floating roof design. The body lines too are sleeker than the outgoing SUV, with flush-sitting door handles and a soft beltline rising into a prominent rear haunch. The images do not provide a clear look at the SUV’s rear, though Vinfast says that the tail lamp designs are all-new; here too the V-shaped lightguides spanning the width of the tailgate are retained.

New VinFast VF8: Interior
 

Moving to the cabin, there are some notable differences between the new VF8 and its predecessor. The VF8 still features a minimalist cabin design, though the new dashboard features even fewer physical control surfaces and looks a lot sleeker. The flat dash-top is separated from the lower dashboard by a thin trim strip that spans the width of the unit with a large 12.9-inch central touchscreen - smaller than the 15.6-inch unit on the old VF8 - taking pride of place at the centre. The button-based gear selector too has been deleted, with the centre console only featuring wireless charging pads, cup holders and other storage cubbies.

A big change over other VinFast vehicles is the inclusion of a dedicated digital driver display behind the new two-spoke design steering wheel.
 

On the tech front, the new VF8 packs in features such as dual-zone climate control, an air purifier, a powered driver seat with memory function, 12.9-inch touchscreen with an embedded virtual assistant, 8-speaker sound system,  and ADAS tech. Notably, the images suggest that there is no sunroof offered on the new-gen SUV.

New VinFast VF8: Powertrain & Platform

 

VinFast claims that the new VF8 sits on a new in-house-developed electrical and electronic architecture featuring a Central Vehicle Computer with enhanced computing capabilities ‘to support quicker and smoother responses to driver inputs.’
 

For now, VinFast has only revealed one spec of the new VF8, with the second-gen SUV getting a bump up in power and torque - 228 bhp and 330 Nm as against 201 bhp and 310 Nm. Another big change is to the battery, which has shrunk from 87.7 kWh to 60.13 kWh. Range too is down over its predecessor with a claimed NEDC figure of 500 km compared to the outgoing VF8’s 561 km (NEDC). Fast charging time remains similar at 30 minutes for a 10 to 70 per cent charge.
 

The new VF8 will go on sale in VinFast’s home market of Vietnam in late July 2026.

2026 Tata Tiago Facelift: What’s New?

Tata Motors has revealed the exterior of the 2026 Tiago and Tiago EV ahead of their launch on May 28, 2026. Both hatchbacks receive a noticeable styling refresh on the outside. Here’s a closer look at all the visible changes seen on the ICE-powered Tiago.

 

The 2026 Tata Tiago gets a handful of noticeable tweaks that freshen things up visually. Most of the updates are concentrated around the front end, which now looks cleaner and slightly sharper than before.

Up front, the grille area has been simplified considerably. The earlier mesh-heavy treatment has made way for a gloss-black panel stretching between the headlights. The bumper has also been reworked with a larger blacked-out lower section and more angular detailing around the edges. The vertical housings on either side of the bumper appear slimmer.

 

The headlamps themselves seem slightly revised internally, while retaining the overall shape. From the images, this variant also appears to get projector headlamps along with eyebrow-shaped LED DRLs sitting above.

 

Also Read: Tata Altroz iCNG AMT Launched At Rs 8.70 Lakh; Available In Five Trims

In profile, the silhouette remains familiar, although the dual-tone alloy wheels are new and carry a more EV-like aerodynamic pattern compared to the older car. At the rear, the tail-lamps feature revised LED detailing with a tri-arrow style lighting signature. The black insert running across the tailgate visually connects the lamps, while the bumper has also been refreshed with a larger black section.

 

While Tata Motors is yet to reveal the cabin in full, a few details are already visible from the first set of images. Cameras mounted on the ORVMs and front bumper confirm that the updated Tiago will get a 360-degree camera setup, which is new for Tata’s entry-level model. The interior itself is also expected to receive a round of updates, likely including a revised instrument cluster, a larger touchscreen infotainment system, and more.

 

Under the hood, things are expected to remain unchanged. The Tiago will likely continue with the 1.2-litre naturally aspirated petrol engine, offered with both manual and automatic transmission options. The iCNG version is also expected to remain part of the lineup.
