At BMW, there are people who are paid to SMELL cars — the company has a whole team of professional "smellers".
Specialists check the scent of leather, plastic, fabrics, and even glue to ensure there are no unpleasant odors in the cabin. They test everything: from individual materials and seats to fully assembled vehicles.
For this, BMW has special laboratories in Germany and China. The Germans have been doing this for more than 25 years.

Toyota has transformed five of its SUVs into SNOWMOBILES — instead of regular wheels, the Japanese have installed huge tracks.
For the exhibition, special versions of Tundra, Tacoma, 4Runner, Land Cruiser, and Sequoia have been prepared. All have received increased ground clearance, additional lighting, underbody protection, and expedition equipment.
Unfortunately, you won't be able to buy such Toyotas — all five vehicles will remain concepts.

🚗 Toyota has transformed the Crown Signia station wagon into a sporty GT-S for SEMA
The five-door has been modified both externally and technically, but the powertrain remains untouched ⚙️
What has changed:
— suspension upgraded to MCS coilovers, clearance lowered by over 120 mm 📉
— brakes from the Lexus RX 500h F Sport
— 21-inch HRE wheels with 295 mm tires 🛞
— new aerodynamic body kit, widened fenders, and exhaust integrated into the bumper
— inside — seats with enhanced lateral support and red accents 🔴
The goal is sporty handling while maintaining practicality. Toyota remains silent about the production version for now 🤐
SEMA will also showcase off-road projects, including the Snowhunter — five models on tracked treads instead of wheels ❄️

Audi is preparing a competitor to the G-Wagon — a new body-on-frame SUV may be built on the basis of the American Scout.
They plan to establish production in the USA, producing about 25 thousand vehicles per year. The SUV may feature an electric powertrain with a gasoline generator to extend the range.
The Germans aim to challenge the Mercedes G-Class and Land Rover Defender, but for now, the project exists only as a plan.

Mitsubishi Outlander Diamond Trail Edition: the most off-road capable Outlander in US history
Mitsubishi has unveiled a new off-road version of its crossover. The public premiere will take place next week at the SEMA show.
What’s new:
Appearance: matte black grille, 18-inch black wheels, Nexen Roadian ATX all-terrain tires, and an exclusive green color Trail Green Metallic.
Geometry: the approach angle increased to 20.5° (+2.2°), and the departure angle to 23.1° (+0.9°).
Interior: water-repellent seat trim, matte plastic, and special edition logos everywhere.
Technical: the engine remains the same (1.5 turbo, 174 hp), but the all-wheel drive system S-AWC has received a new Rock mode for rocks and a descent control system. The surround-view cameras now operate up to 30 km/h (instead of 10).
At SEMA, two concepts based on this model will also be showcased: one with a 2.5-inch lift and a rooftop tent, and the other with a mount for mountain bikes.

Toyota does not give up on GASOLINE — the Japanese are preparing economical engines for hybrids and powerful engines for sports cars.
For future models, a 1.5-liter engine and a lightweight hybrid system are being developed, which will reduce fuel consumption by more than 15%. The new platform will be suitable for both hybrids and electric cars.
But the most interesting thing is the 2.0-liter turbo engine with 400 horsepower. It has already been tested on the GR Yaris prototype, and in the future, it may be available for the revived MR2.

Chinese BYD has learned to stay on the road even with a PUNCTURED tire — the budget Seagull was accelerated to 140 km/h and the front tire was punctured in several places while in motion. The car did not deviate from its trajectory and calmly reduced its speed.
At the same time, such an electric car costs only €1100 (€800,000).

In Italy, a Lotus driver caused an accident worth €100,000.
In Turin, the sports car lost control and crashed into three parked cars. The impact was so strong that one of them—a small Fiat Panda—literally climbed onto the Lotus with its rear wheels.
