The pivotal model for McLaren's transition to a 100 percent electrified portfolio has been named Artura.

The departure occurs in what has been a tumultuous year for Aston Martin, which has struggled financially since going public in 2018.

With its first redesign, the Rolls-Royce Ghost touts a list of new benefits: It rides on the automaker's aluminum architecture, features all-wheel drive and all-wheel steering and it is styled in the brand's "Post-Opulent" design language.

McLaren's upcoming plug-in hybrid, perhaps the pivotal supercar in the brand's transition to a 100 percent electrified portfolio, will feature the British exotic's first V-6 engine.

Following two of the best global sales results in the automaker's history, Mike Flewitt acknowledges that 2020 will look much different.

With the redesign, the second-generation Ghost makes the jump onto the British ultraluxury brand's aluminum architecture.

The first McLaren hybrid to be based on the architecture will launch in 2021. McLaren anticipates the new platform will be lighter than others it has used.

Using technology from California's Xilinx, a company that also works with Daimler, Continental, Magna and Veoneer, Subaru upgraded the stereo camera on its driver-assistance and safety system, roughly doubling the field of view.

Bentley was the first of the ultraluxury and exotic brands to introduce an SUV. The freshened Bentayga looks to build on the success of that head start.

After introducing the freshened Bentley Bentayga in June, the ultraluxury brand plans a new range-topping Speed variant.

The sedan, which is slotted below the larger Phantom in Rolls-Royce's lineup, was previously rear-wheel drive.

McLaren's Track 25 business plan, launched in July 2018, originally called for 18 new models or derivatives by 2025. But the impact of the coronavirus crisis has likely altered the automaker's product rollout.

The supercar accelerates from 0-100 kph in 3.5 seconds and has a top speed of 324 kph.

The 3.0-liter turbocharged V-6 will be slotted in a range of midengine sports cars. It's the brand's first powerplant designed and engineered in-house since 1968.

More automakers are stopping production at their U.S. plants to help slow the spread of the coronavirus.
