Bentley Batur Convertible, BMW M4 CS: Top Photos of the Week

Bentley's W-12 engine will be discontinued this summer, and the company has unveiled a limited edition Batur to commemorate the end of production. This week Bentley unveiled the Batur Convertible, which will be produced even more limited than the original coupe.

Another limited production car that made headlines this week is BMW's new generation hardcore M4 CS. This car is not as extreme as the recent M4 CSL, but it boasts the same 543 hp and a chassis tuned for the track.

GMC's Hummer EV SUV is ready to hit the market, and we tested it this week in its 830 hp 3X guise. Despite its size and weight, the electric SUV is one of the most capable vehicles when it comes to off-road driving, regardless of the type of powertrain.

We also got behind the wheel of the redesigned 2024 Lexus GX. In our first test of the body-on-frame SUV, we walked away shocked at how well balanced it was; in our second test, we experienced towing; and in our third test, we experienced the "new" Lexus GX, which is a "new" Lexus GX, with a new body and frame.

The original 911 Turbo concept that Porsche exhibited at the 1973 Frankfurt Motor Show was unveiled this week. At the time of its unveiling, Porsche did not have a turbocharged engine for the car, so engineers attached a simulated turbocharger made of wood to a naturally aspirated engine for the show.

The historic British brand Alvis is making a comeback, producing "continuation" models of earlier models. This week, the modern Alvis unveiled its latest continuation car, a handsome grabber drophead convertible.

BMW is working on a new generation M5 with a plug-in hybrid, a prototype of which was spotted this week. Debuting later this year, BMW has confirmed that both the M5 sedan and M5 touring wagon will land in the U.S.

And finally, Volkswagen revealed a new California camper van based on its latest generation T-series van. It features a pop-up roof tent that holds a mattress and sliding doors on both sides of the vehicle.
