Lara Croft, your vehicle is ready.

Whether you’re raiding tombs, escaping from dinosaurs, or just plain exploring, there’s probably a Jeep Wrangler for you. The American brand is showcasing a plethora of new and special-edition models at this year’s Paris Motor Show, and first up is a cloak-and-dagger Wrangler.

The product of a joint venture between Jeep, Mopar, and Centro Stile, the Wrangler Unlimited Rubicon ‘Stealth’ show car is on display in Paris this week. The sly one-off wears a variety of off-roading gadgets, such as strengthened Rubicon bumpers, rock rails, a raised ride kit, 17-inch rims with 37-inch rubber, and an LED light bar.

On the show car end, the Wrangler is equipped with wide fender flares, an ‘Iron Peltrox Iron’ textured black paint job, and vintage-style leather seats.

The Stealth is powered by a 2.8-liter turbodiesel that generates 200 horsepower and 339 pound-feet of torque.

For the enthusiast who prefers the dragstrip to the mud pit, Jeep also announced a special ‘Red Vapor’ edition of its Grand Cherokee SRT. Already the fastest and most powerful Jeep ever, the Red Vapor features a few subtle upgrades in aesthetics.

The most noticeable improvement is the set of not-so-subtle ‘Goliath’ wheels, which measure 20 inches and are finished in slick black chrome. In addition, the Grand Cherokee’s body is littered with red and chrome details and badges.

Jeep is also using the event to showcase its new Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) technology, which also comes standard on the normal car. Using microphones and speakers, the vehicle’s sound system mutes road noise and amplifies the beefy soundtrack of the 6.4-liter Hemi V8.

The engine produces 468 hp and 460 lb/ft of torque in the big SUV, which allows for a 0 to 60 mph time of just 5.0 seconds.

The line between your smartphone and your car continues to blur. Volvo has announced that it is rolling out an over-the-air software update that brings Apple Music directly to the infotainment systems of more than 2 million vehicles worldwide.

The update is arriving for a wide range of Volvo models, including the EX90, ES90, XC90, S90, V90, XC60, S60, V60, XC40, EX40 and EC40, covering model year 2020 onwards. Availability, however, may vary depending on the vehicle.

A new AI model wants self-driving cars to think before they swerve
Forget guessing games, this self-driving AI actually shows its work.
Self driving car

Self-driving cars have gotten pretty good at driving. The harder problem is teaching them to drive safely in situations nobody planned for. We have heard horror stories of self-driving cars, behaving erratically in emergency situations, often times delaying first responders from reaching the scene.

A team at Seoul National University, led by professor Jun Won Choi from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, thinks they have cracked part of that puzzle with a new AI model called SafeDrive. The research was recently selected as a highlight paper at CVPR 2026, a distinction that goes only to roughly 3% of all submissions.
