Brembo, a name synonymous with high-performance braking systems, is now extending its iconic design beyond the automotive world and into the realm of fashion. This article explores the launch of 'Brembo Collections', a new initiative that allows enthusiasts to wear a piece of automotive heritage, starting with a vibrant line of T-shirts inspired by their renowned brake calipers.

Embrace Automotive Art: Wear Your Passion

Brembo's Leap into Lifestyle Fashion

For decades, Brembo has been an integral component in some of the most impressive vehicles globally, supplying top-tier brake calipers. Now, the Italian manufacturer is steering into a new direction with the introduction of Brembo Collections, a lifestyle venture that transforms automotive components into wearable art.

The Debut: Colors of Speed T-Shirts

The inaugural collection from this new project is christened 'Brembo Colors of Speed'. As the name suggests, it prominently features the distinctive Brembo brake caliper design on a series of T-shirts. This collection made its debut just before the Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix at Monza, capturing the attention of motorsport enthusiasts and fashion-forward individuals alike.

Italian Craftsmanship and Vibrant Hues

Each T-shirt in the 'Colors of Speed' lineup is meticulously designed and printed in Italy, emphasizing quality and authenticity. The collection boasts an impressive palette of eleven different colors, with the brake caliper graphic taking center stage. These exclusive T-shirts are available for pre-order through Brembo's dedicated new online store, brembocollections.com.

Expanding the Collection Horizon

The 'Colors of Speed' T-shirts are merely the beginning of Brembo's ambitious fashion journey. The company has announced plans to roll out more products and collections in the upcoming months, promising a continuous evolution of its lifestyle offerings. By the close of 2026, Brembo aims to significantly expand this platform, introducing a diverse array of items that draw inspiration from its rich design heritage, technical prowess, and storied history of innovation.

A New Avenue for Brand Expression

Mauro Piccoli, Brembo's Chief Marketing Officer, articulated the vision behind this new venture, stating, "'Colors of Speed' marks the initial phase of an endeavor designed to elevate Brembo's aesthetic and cultural legacy. It aims to forge fresh avenues for expression and belonging for all individuals who share our deep passion for the brand." This initiative seeks to deepen the connection between the brand and its admirers by offering tangible symbols of their shared enthusiasm.

Limited-Time Pre-Order Opportunity

While Brembo Collections is poised for significant expansion, its initial offering remains focused on the 'Colors of Speed' T-shirts. Enthusiasts eager to acquire these unique garments can participate in the pre-sale, which commenced on September 4th, coinciding with the Italian Grand Prix, and will conclude on September 18th. This limited window provides an exclusive chance to own a piece of Brembo's pioneering foray into lifestyle apparel.

Mitsubishi Revives Pajero Nameplate with a New Off-Road SUV

Mitsubishi proudly announces the revival of its legendary off-road vehicle, the Pajero, introducing the 2027 model. This new iteration, now in its fifth generation, has undergone a complete transformation, featuring a robust ladder-frame chassis and a seven-seat configuration. Designed to challenge established rivals such as the Toyota Land Cruiser, the Pajero aims to deliver a harmonious blend of on-road refinement and formidable off-road prowess. However, enthusiasts in North America, who know the vehicle as the Montero, may face a prolonged wait for its arrival.

While the global automotive community embraces the return of the Pajero, the North American market's prospects for the Montero remain ambiguous. Mitsubishi has yet to confirm a U.S. release, with speculation pointing to a possible delay until 2030, possibly as a variant based on the next-generation Nissan Frontier. The new Pajero's design prioritizes functionality and rugged aesthetics, complemented by a premium interior that includes advanced infotainment features and comfort amenities, signifying Mitsubishi's commitment to modernizing this beloved classic.

The Reimagined Mitsubishi Pajero: Design and Engineering

The 2027 Mitsubishi Pajero emerges with a completely new foundation, built upon a meticulously re-engineered ladder frame designed to significantly enhance rigidity. This robust structure, combined with an independent front suspension and a five-link rear setup supporting a solid axle, represents a concerted effort by Mitsubishi's engineers. Their goal was to strike an optimal balance between composed on-road driving dynamics and uncompromising off-road capability. The exterior styling reflects a purposeful and anticipated design, characterized by an upright stance, distinctive boxed fenders, and a prominent vertical grille. These elements collectively reinforce its rugged off-road identity, while the flat hood and expansive sightlines from the cabin emphasize practicality and driver visibility.

Beyond its sturdy underpinning, the Pajero’s aesthetic and structural considerations extend to its passenger comfort and utility. The mostly flat roofline, gently tapering towards the rear, hints at ample headroom for all occupants, including those in the third row, making it a practical choice for families and adventurers alike. This thoughtful design ensures that the vehicle not only looks the part of a capable off-roader but also delivers a comfortable and spacious environment for its occupants. The focus on improved rigidity and a balanced suspension system underscores Mitsubishi’s intent to make the new Pajero a versatile SUV, equally at home on challenging trails and everyday commutes, setting a new benchmark for its segment.

Luxurious Interior and Off-Road Prowess: Targeting the Competition

Stepping inside, the cabin of the new Pajero exudes a distinctly premium ambiance, featuring seating for up to seven passengers. The second row offers a generous 5.9 inches of fore-aft adjustment, facilitating effortless access to the third row. Comfort is further enhanced with heated second-row seats and a sophisticated 12-speaker sound system. A key highlight for many enthusiasts is the retention of ample physical controls in the front, providing a tactile and intuitive user experience alongside modern dual 14.3-inch screens that manage infotainment and instrument cluster functions. This blend of traditional and contemporary controls underscores a design philosophy that values both convenience and practicality.

Mitsubishi's strategic targeting of established off-roaders like the Toyota Land Cruiser is evident in both the Pajero's luxurious interior and its rugged, boxy exterior. While the Land Cruiser boasts slightly superior approach and break-over angles, the Pajero counters with a better departure angle and an impressive ground clearance exceeding nine inches, indicating its strong competitive standing in challenging terrains. Despite its global re-introduction, the prospect of the Pajero, known as the Montero, reaching the U.S. market remains uncertain, potentially as a derivative of the upcoming Nissan Frontier, leaving North American enthusiasts eagerly anticipating further announcements.

Polestar Unveils Versatile 4 SUV, Exiting U.S. Market Amid Tech Restrictions

Polestar has unveiled a more practical version of its electric vehicle lineup, the Polestar 4 SUV. This new model, which resembles an electric wagon with its extended roofline, offers significant improvements in interior space and functionality compared to its fastback predecessor. However, despite its enhanced features, the Polestar 4 SUV will not be sold in the United States, as the company is withdrawing from the American market due to new legislation restricting Chinese technology in cars.

This strategic move sees Polestar focusing on other global markets for its latest offering. The Polestar 4 SUV aims to address feedback on its previous model, providing a more conventional yet technologically advanced electric vehicle experience. Its design refinements and practical enhancements highlight Polestar's commitment to innovation and user-centric design, even as it navigates complex international trade regulations.

Enhanced Practicality and Design of the Polestar 4 SUV

The newly introduced Polestar 4 SUV, a more spacious and conventional counterpart to the original Polestar 4 fastback, sports an elongated roofline that significantly boosts rear headroom and cargo capacity. While maintaining the distinct aesthetic of its sibling, such as the sharp headlights and trapezoidal grille, the SUV variant integrates a traditional glass rear window, departing from the camera-reliant rear view of the fastback. This design choice not only enhances practicality but also offers a more familiar driving experience, complete with an optional digital rearview mirror.

Beyond its exterior revisions, the Polestar 4 SUV showcases an expanded interior, providing approximately 23 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats upright, and a substantial 59 cubic feet when folded down. This represents a considerable increase over the fastback's 19 and 54 cubic feet, respectively. Additionally, the SUV features roof rails capable of supporting a dynamic load of up to 220 pounds and a larger panoramic glass roof that extends to the tailgate. An electrochromic glass roof, allowing for adjustable transparency, tinting, or shading, is also available, enhancing both comfort and versatility.

Technology and Market Implications for Polestar's Latest EV

The Polestar 4 SUV's interior largely mirrors the minimalist and technologically advanced design of the fastback model, characterized by a prominent touchscreen display and a commitment to sustainable materials. The vehicle incorporates a synthetic fabric derived from recycled plastics, with an option for Bridge of Weir nappa leather, ethically sourced and fully traceable. Powering the SUV are two powertrain options: a 268-hp single-motor rear-wheel-drive configuration and a more potent 536-hp dual-motor all-wheel-drive variant, both utilizing a 94.0-kWh battery for extensive range, although European WLTP figures are cited.

A notable feature of the Polestar 4 SUV is the new Camping mode, offering climate control, entertainment access, and ambient lighting while parked, alongside a vehicle-to-load function for powering external devices. Manufactured in Busan, South Korea, the SUV is slated for a fourth-quarter release. However, its entry into the U.S. market is precluded by the Connect-Car Rule, a U.S. government regulation on Chinese technology. This mandates Polestar's withdrawal from the American market after the 2026 model year, underscoring the significant impact of geopolitical factors on automotive market strategies.
