SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – Lexus is looking beyond the gasoline era with the world premiere of the Lexus LFA Concept, a battery-electric sports car that turns the legendary LFA name into a bold statement for the EV age. Developed alongside TOYOTA GAZOO Racing’s new GR GT and GR GT3, the LFA Concept is designed to prove that high-voltage performance can still deliver goosebumps, soul and serious track credibility.

A legend reborn for the BEV era

The original V10-powered Lexus LFA has cult status among car fans. Now the name returns on a concept that swaps cylinders for cells, but keeps the same mission: pure driver immersion. Lexus calls the idea behind it “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu” — a way of passing essential craftsmanship and driving know-how from one generation of engineers to the next, using a flagship sports car as the testbed.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – Toyota is turning its most hardcore motorsport know-how into two new dream machines: the GR GT, a road-legal race car, and the GR GT3, a full FIA-spec customer race car designed for people who genuinely want to win on Sundays and still enjoy the brand’s racing spirit the rest of the week.

Flagship sports cars with true racing DNA

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – For anyone who ever had a 2000GT or the original Lexus LFA as a poster on their wall, Toyota and Lexus just handed you three new dream machines to obsess over: the all-new GR GT, the race-ready GR GT3 and the dramatic Lexus LFA Concept. Together, they’re not just show cars – they’re rolling proof that Japan’s biggest carmaker still believes in emotion, craftsmanship and goosebump-level performance in an increasingly electric, software-driven world.

Heritage reboot: what “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu” really means

To understand these three flagships, you almost have to think like a shrine carpenter rather than a car engineer. Toyota frames them as part of “Toyota’s Shikinen Sengu,” inspired by a traditional Japanese ritual where a shrine is rebuilt every few decades to keep skills and spirit alive.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – For anyone thinking about their next car, how you pay for it can be just as important as what you drive. Stellantis, the global automaker behind brands like Jeep®, Peugeot and FIAT, is sharpening its focus on finance, leasing and flexible mobility options by bringing back seasoned executive Jon Nelson in a new top role overseeing its financial services and leasing companies worldwide.

A new role designed around how we buy and use cars today

Starting in January 2026, Jon Nelson will step into the newly created position of Head of Stellantis Financial Services and Leasing companies, reporting directly to Chief Financial Officer Joao Laranjo. From Stellantis’ base in Amsterdam, he’ll lead the strategy behind the loans, leases and other financial tools that help people get behind the wheel of their next vehicle.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 5, 2025 – What happens when one of pop culture’s most unhinged villains crashes the world of luxury Italian furniture? You get “The Joker Throne” – a dramatic, conversation-starting piece that has just won a 2025 Archiproducts Design Award and officially pushed comic-book fandom into the realm of collectible art and interior design.

From Gotham to Milan: when design meets dark storytelling

Created by Stellantis Design Studio in collaboration with Italian luxury specialist Formitalia, The Joker Throne sits at the center of The Joker Collection, a bold furniture line inspired by DC’s infamous agent of chaos.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 4, 2025 – In a world where food insecurity is still a daily reality for millions, the city of São Paulo has turned its fight against hunger into a powerful global benchmark. On December 3, the Brazilian megacity was officially awarded a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for operating the largest municipal food security program in the world, after distributing an astonishing 933.8 tonnes of food in just 24 hours – part of a network that now serves more than 3 million meals every single day.

A record built on solidarity, not spectacle

The recognition, presented by Guinness adjudicator Camila Borenstain in the low-income community of Paraisópolis in southern São Paulo, celebrates much more than a one-day feat. It crowns years of public policy aimed at guaranteeing dignified, continuous access to food for residents across the city.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – Black and white photography has a magic of its own: once colour is stripped away, every line, shadow and highlight suddenly feels more emotional. With Canon’s professional printers and a few smart workflow habits, you can turn your favourite monochrome images into gallery-worthy prints right from home.

Why black and white printing feels different

Black and white is all about intention. Without colour, your viewer’s eye goes straight to contrast, texture and shape – so any mismatch between screen and paper is instantly obvious. That’s why photographer Helen Bartlett, who delivers monochrome prints to her clients, spent a day learning how to print on Canon’s imagePROGRAF PRO Series instead of relying only on a studio. The goal: to keep all the mood and subtle detail she’d carefully crafted on screen.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – From tiny elopements on a windswept cliff to big, joy-filled receptions, wedding photography is all about turning one day into a lifetime of memories – and the lenses you choose decide how that story feels. Canon Ambassadors and award-winning photographers Félicia Sisco and Fabio Mirulla know this better than most, and their favourite Canon lenses show exactly how to build a kit that’s fast, reliable and beautifully flattering for couples.

Why the right wedding lens matters more than you think

Weddings move quickly: brides getting ready in small hotel rooms, guests squeezed into historic churches, couples racing into golden-hour light. You rarely get a second chance at a moment, so lenses need to focus fast, handle tricky light and give you creative control over background blur.

SHERIDAN, WYOMING – December 2, 2025 – Whether you’re dreaming of full-time YouTube success or just want your videos to look more polished, the right camera and lens can make a huge difference to how professional your channel feels. Canon’s lineup gives creators at every level an option that looks great straight out of camera, so you can focus on ideas, not fiddling.

Why YouTube creators need video-first gear

Videographer and YouTuber Simeon Quarrie knows that online audiences don’t wait. He needs gear that delivers good-looking footage fast. "To get the best out of YouTube, you need to produce regular content, so setting the look in-camera is key," he says. For him, easy workflows are essential: "Whether I'm recording content or livestreaming on YouTube Live, I want files that are easily manageable – I want to be able to press record, take the MP4 file, drop it on the timeline and I'm done."
