For years, the US has had the Mustang. Britain, meanwhile, has had rather more trouble keeping its great sports-car names alive. It took time, but Britain has finally looked across the Atlantic, seen what Ford has done with the Mustang, and apparently decided: yeah, we can do that too. Only with a little more leather, a little more hand-beaten aluminum, and considerably more British eccentricity.

A few weeks back, we took a look at the SkyNomad N90, a large SUV that's a critical product launch for the Chinese electronics and autos maker Xiaomi. Beyond being a high-spec, versatile family hauler, the SkyNomad N90 has also been designed to work as a stock micro-camper thanks to a built-in folding bed, swivel seats, fridge and table. However, it originally lacked one feature that could have really raised its van life profile: a pop-up roof. Well, the SkyNomad has officially filled that hole this week with the addition of the Max Studio version.

Prior to this week, the terms "world's largest electric motorhome" and "1,000-km range" could have led to only one conclusion: one of China's latest high-mileage extended range electric vehicle (EREV) platforms got outfitted with a big motorhome box. But the most massive electric motorhome we spotted at this year's Düsseldorf Caravan Salon wasn't a range-extender, and it wasn't Chinese. The Dutch-German collaboration is a pure-battery-powered long-haul Mercedes-Benz Actros truck with a self-contained fuel-free motorhome out back. And not only was it one of the most impressive vehicles of the entire show, it's about to further impress with an around-the-world road trip that targets a range as high as 1,000 kilometers (621 miles) per charge.
