Images are for editorial use only. CUPRA is an official Partner of Formula E’s 2025 Season 11 finale in London The double-header of races will be held at the Excel London on 26 – 27 July 2025 The partnership marks CUPRA’s boldest statement in electric motorsport on UK soil and reflects its commitment to innovation and electrification Milton Keynes, 25-07-2025 –CUPRA will be an Official Race Partner of the 2025 Marvel Fantastic Four London E‑Prix. The double-header is the finale of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship, set to take place at the Excel London circuit on 26 – 27 July 2025. Building on its successful collaboration with Kiro Race Co for the 2024/25 season, the CUPRA KIRO team has turned heads with standout performances and a striking copper-and-yellow livery, unveiled in Mexico City in January 2025. CUPRA KIRO is making an impact both on and off track. With investment from actor Idris Elba and exciting content with the world’s biggest YouTube star, the team is bringing electric racing to an entirely new audience. The collaboration with Mr Beast saw the YouTuber take on CUPRA KIRO driver Dan Ticktum in a Gen3 EVO Formula E high-speed challenge, which exemplified CUPRA’s commitment to pushing boundaries and embracing the future of racing. On track, the team continues to push boundaries and raise its performance race after race. The progress made this season was clearly demonstrated with a milestone victory in Jakarta — the team’s first win — following its debut podium finish in Tokyo just weeks earlier. These results reflect CUPRA’s unstoppable ambition and the team’s relentless drive to challenge the status quo in electric racing. The brand’s bold vision of electrification will be embodied by three standout models — the CUPRA Terramar, CUPRA Tavascan, and CUPRA Born — which will serve as the Official Course Cars of the race weekend. These vehicles represent CUPRA’s progressive performance DNA and will play a key role in bringing the unconventional spirit of the brand to the heart of the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship. Marcus Gossen, Managing Director of SEAT and CUPRA UK said: “London is a global stage for sustainable innovation and high-energy competitive racing. This partnership brings together brands that share a bold vision for the future of mobility: one that is disruptive, and electric.” “By aligning with Formula E at its flagship home event, CUPRA is demonstrating its commitment to connecting with a new generation of drivers through performance, disruption and sustainability.” Xavi Serra, Global Head of CUPRA Racing, at CUPRA KIRO, said: “We’re proud to be an official partner for the London double-header. It’s a special race for the whole team — and for Dan in particular — so coming back here feels meaningful. We’re fully focused and ready to give it everything we’ve got, both on and off the track.” Formula E is the all-electric city racing series accredited by the FIA. As the only net-zero certified motorsport series, it brings high-performance EV racing to the world’s most iconic cities. The 2024/25 season features races across ten cities, culminating in the Marvel Fantastic Four London E‑Prix with CUPRA as Official Race Partner. ENDS Change needs drivers — and CUPRA believes real progress comes through radical disruption, by defying expectations and challenging conventions. Since its launch in 2018, the brand has transformed the automotive industry as an instigator of creativity and an agitator for change. In just seven years, CUPRA has launched seven models and sold over 800,000 vehicles globally. Every CUPRA model is restlessly expressive, design led, and performance driven. Its fully-fledged portfolio includes the CUPRA Ateca, the first car to ever feature the CUPRA badge; the CUPRA Leon, redesigned and enhanced as a standalone CUPRA model; the CUPRA Formentor, the first car to be developed exclusively by the brand and the company’s best-selling vehicle to date; the CUPRA Born, the brand’s first 100% electric vehicle; the CUPRA Tavascan, an all-electric SUV coupe; and the CUPRA Terramar, the brand’s sporty SUV. In 2026, the CUPRA Raval, the brand’s radical interpretation of the electric urban car, will join its lineup. CUPRA is more than a car. It’s a conviction. The CUPRA Tribe is made up of a team of ambassadors who push back against convention and past the boundaries that hold others back, with members including film director J.A. Bayona, German goalkeeper Marc ter Stegen, and two-time Ballon d’Or and Best FIFA Award-winning footballer Alexia Putellas. Obsessive about elevating emotion on and off the road, CUPRA is also FC Barcelona’s official automotive and mobility partner, the Premier Padel Tour’s premium sponsor and is also proud to participate in the Formula E racing competition with Kiro Race Co. www.cupraofficial.com For more information, please contact: Chris Mease, Head of PR and Communications07586 058302; chris.mease@seatcars.co.uk Kate Arding, PR Manager07500 689543; kate.arding@seatcars.co.uk Holly Williams, Events and Internal Communications Manager07738 897319; holly.williams@seatcars.co.uk Katie Duguid, Press Fleet Manager07983 537247; katie.duguid@seatcars.co.uk This news release and illustration are issued in accordance with Clause 1.2J of the British Codes of Advertising and Sales Promotion and therefore cannot be the subject of a transaction of any kind.

Volkswagen Group delivers solid results in challenging environment

Images are for editorial use only. “Driven by the success of our new products, Volkswagen Group held its ground in an extremely challenging environment. We made noticeable improvements in design, technology, and quality, and achieved significant progress in software. Our sales figures remain stable in a competitive global market. In Europe we expanded our leading position in electric mobility, with a market share of 28 per cent and order books remain well filled.Supported by our ongoing product offensive and consistently good demand, we expect the positive trend to continue in second half of the year.”Oliver Blume, CEO Volkswagen Group “Our half-year figures present a contrasting picture: on the one hand, we achieved strong product success and made progress in realigning the company. On the other, the operating result declined by a third year-on-year – also due to higher sales of lower-margin all-electric models. In addition, increased US import tariffs and restructuring measures had a negative impact.Excluding these items, the operating margin in the second quarter is at nearly seven per cent, representing the upper end of our expectations. This shows that we are on the right track. But what really matters is cash in the bank. That’s why we must press ahead with our ongoing programmes to improve earnings and pick up the pace where necessary.”Arno Antlitz, CFO & COO Volkswagen Group Key Figures 158.4 billion EUR sales revenue in H1 2025, roughly in line with prior-year level (H1 2024: EUR 158.8 billion) Slight growth in vehicle sales and a significant increase in sales revenue at Financial Services; currency effects had an offsetting impact. 6.7 billion EUR Operating Result in H1 2025, 33% below H1 2024 (EUR 10 billion); Operating Margin of 4.2% Decline in Operating Result primarily due to high costs from increased U.S. import tariffs (EUR 1.3 billion), provisions for restructuring at Audi, Volkswagen Passenger Cars, and Cariad (EUR 0.7 billion), and expenses related to CO₂ regulation. Negative mix effects also weighed on the result, for example due to a higher share of fully electric vehicles as well as price and currency effects. Before increased US tariffs and restructuring, the operating margin was 5.6 per cent. –1.4 billion EUR Net Cash Flow in the Automotive Division in H1 2025 (H1 2024: EUR 0.4 billion) In addition to the developments of the operating result, the main drivers of the lower Net Cash Flow were M&A expenditures, including EUR 0.9 billion for the acquisition of additional Rivian shares, as well as payments related to restructuring measures and U.S. import tariffs. A lower level of cash tied up in working capital had a positive effect compared to the prior year period. 4.36 million vehicle sales in H1 2025, slightly above H1 2024 (4.34 million vehicles) Growth in South America (+19 %), Western Europe (+2 %) and Central and Eastern Europe (+5 %) more than compensated for the expected declines in China (–3 %) and, mainly due to tariffs, North America (–16 %). Order intake for vehicles in Western Europe rises by 19% in H1 2025 Significant year-on-year increase in incoming orders in Western Europe. Key drivers were new models across all drive types, such as the VW ID.7 Tourer, CUPRA Terramar, Škoda Elroq, Audi Q6 e-tron, and Porsche 911. Order intake for all-electric vehicles was particularly strong, with an increase of 62 per cent. Outlook for the year 2025 as of July 25, 2025 The Volkswagen Group expects sales revenue to be in line with the previous year’s figure (previously: increase of up to 5 per cent). The Group’s operating return on sales is expected to range between 4.0 and 5.0 per cent (previously: 5.5 to 6.5 per cent). In the Automotive Division, the Volkswagen Group continues to expect an investment ratio between 12 and 13 per cent in 2025. Automotive net cash flow for 2025 is expected to be between EUR 1 and EUR 3 billion (previously: EUR 2 to EUR 5 billion). This includes cash outflows for investments for the future as well as for restructuring measures. Net liquidity in the Automotive Division in 2025 is expected to be between EUR 31 and EUR 33 billion (previously: EUR 34 to EUR 37 billion). The Group continues to pursue its objective of maintaining a solid financing and liquidity policy. At the lower end of the forecast ranges for operating result, net cash flow and net liquidity, it is assumed that in particular the current US import tariffs of 27.5 per cent will continue to apply in the second half of 2025; at the upper end, it is assumed that these tariffs will be reduced to 10 per cent. There is high uncertainty about further developments with regard to the tariffs, their impact and any reciprocal effects. Challenges will arise in particular from an environment of political uncertainty, expanding trade restrictions and geopolitical tensions, the increasing intensity of competition, volatile commodity, energy and foreign exchange markets, and emissions-related requirements that have been more stringent since the beginning of the year. Note: Adjustments to the reporting logic from January 2025 will lead, among other things, to a more precise disclosure of the Automotive Division’s sales revenue. In mathematical terms, this will lead to a lower investment ratio, namely by 130 basis points to 13.0 per cent in the 2024 financial year. Based on the adjusted reporting logic, we expect the investment ratio in the Automotive Division to reduce to between 12 and 13 per cent in 2025 and to around 10 per cent in 2027. For details, see page 180 of the 2024 Annual Report. Further information on the brand groups Core Brand group Core achieved noticeable progress in cost efficiency and recorded an operating margin of 4.8 % in the first half of the year. This positive development confirms the direction taken through restructuring initiatives, particularly at the Volkswagen brand. Škoda achieved a strong operating margin of 8.5 % and delivered by far the best quarterly result in its history with around EUR 740 million. H1 2025 Results BRAND GROUP CORE on…

Maserati MC12 Stradale supercar leads Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center Auction offering

Images are for editorial use only. COMPLETE DIGITAL CATALOG FOR AUGUST 13-14 AUCTIONNOW AVAILABLE TWO-DAY SALE FEATURES HIGHLY DESIRABLE COLLECTOR CARS ACROSS TODAY’S MOST ACTIVE MARKET CATEGORIES GROSSE POINTE, Michigan (July 25, 2025) – Broad Arrow Auctions, a Hagerty (NYSE: HGTY) company, is delighted to announce final entries for its flagship Monterey Jet Center Auction on August 13-14, led by a landmark 2005 Maserati MC12 Stradale, chassis number 12095. One of just 50 MC12 Stradale road cars built to homologate Maserati’s dominant FIA GT1 racer, the car on offer shows just over 11,500 kilometers (Estimate: $4,800,000 – $5,500,000). “The MC12 is the pinnacle of the Maserati brand—it’s the marque’s first and only supercar and the car that put it back on the competition map,” says Alexander Weaver, Senior Car Specialist and VP of Private Sales for Broad Arrow. “While it is based around the Ferrari Enzo, the MC12 wears a competition-purpose body, offers a removable roof panel, and is significantly rarer, produced in just 50 units compared to the Enzo’s 400. It is fresh from a comprehensive service, and ready to drive and enjoy.” The MC12 program is credited with successfully restoring Maserati to its rightful place among the world’s most premier racing marques while simultaneously creating one of the most coveted road cars of the modern era. Chassis number 12095 was completed in 2005, the second and final year of production. It is finished in the signature Bianco Fuji pearlescent white livery with blue accents that paid homage to the colors of the America CAMORADI Scuderia, which campaigned the legendary Maserati Tipo 60/61 Birdcages in the early 1960s. The sporting exterior is complemented by a luxurious Blu leather and BrighTex fabric interior. The MC12 Stradale’s technical foundation centered on the 6.0-liter Tipo M144A V12 engine derived from the Enzo. In Maserati tune, the powerplant produced 630 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 481 lb-ft of torque at 5,500 rpm. The car on offer is a superb, road-going version of the era-defining GT racing car of the 2000s, offering the chance to own and experience a true homologation special that bridges Maserati’s illustrious competition heritage with modern performance from one of the most dominant GT1 programs in history. Led by the MC12, Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center Auction will present 170 collector cars over two exciting days, a curation of some of the most highly desirable collector cars across today’s most active segments of the market. From modern supercars and track-focused machines to timeless post-war classics and on-the-rise JDM icons, there’s something for every automotive passion at the August 13-14 sale. “Today’s most active buyers at the top tier of the collector car market are a step younger and more focused on performance and usability,” says Barney Ruprecht, Senior Car Specialist and VP of Auctions, Broad Arrow. “The cars they are after are nevertheless still best-of-category, incredibly rare, and of the highest quality, whether that means low mileage or careful preservation. Our 2025 Monterey Jet Center Auction presents a host of these highly desirable collector cars across the most active and sought-after segments of the market, from supercars to rising-star JDM variants.” SupercarsBeyond the Maserati, additional supercar highlights for the Monterey Jet Center Auction include: 2008 Koenigsegg CCXR, one of just 11 examples built and merely three in the U.S. Well-maintained and tastefully upgraded throughout its life, this six-speed manual CCXR was featured in the fifth Fast & Furious film and offers a raw, analog driving experience seldom found in the modern hypercar era (Estimate: $2,750,000 – $3,500,000). 2018 Bugatti Chiron, a spectacular two-owner example that embodies all the grandeur of its breed, with over $500,000 in factory options. The Chiron’s offering represents an opportunity to acquire a modestly driven example of Bugatti’s era-defining hypercar in what is believed to be a one-of-one specification (Estimate: $3,000,000 – $3,500,000). 1991 Ferrari F40, a remarkably original, preservation-grade, U.S.-market example with a mere 1,701 miles and long-term ownership history (Estimate: $3,350,000 – $3,500,000). 1968 Lamborghini Miura P400, a Series II example of the original supercar, delivered new to Prince Abdul Elah bin Abdulaziz Al Saud of Saudi Arabia. Finished in its original combination of Bianco over a Rosso leather interior, the beautifully restored, matching-numbers car is equipped with its original factory “special modified 380 BHP” engine (Estimate: $2,000,000 – $2,400,000). A pair of Countaches, including an original-owner, time-capsule 1988 Lamborghini Countach 5000 QV (Estimate: $800,000 – $900,000) and a 1989 Lamborghini Countach 25th Anniversary Edition (Estimate: $500,000 – $600,000), the ultimate and fastest edition of the Countach, formerly a staple of WWE superstar John Cena’s esteemed car collection. 2009 Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren Prototype “Stealth”, the final SLR Roadster ever produced, retained by McLaren Special Operations (MSO) for testing and development (Estimate: $1,000,000 – $1,250,000). 2011 Hennessey Venom GT, a one-of-13, 2,300-km, American-assembled hypercar offered without reserve in Monterey (Estimate: $350,000 – $450,000, Offered Without Reserve). Track StarsStand-out machines across numerous golden eras in motorsport history feature within Broad Arrow’s Monterey Jet Center catalog. The latest racing entries for the sale are led by a 1959 Porsche 718 RSK Spyder, chassis number 718-023 (Est. $3,500,000 – $4,000,000). One of just 24 customer cars produced, the Spyder was piloted by gentleman racer Roy Schechter throughout 1959. The car clinched titles and podiums in SCCA competition and was raced internationally at Bahamas Speed Week and in Cuba. Beautifully restored, it retains its matching-numbers engine and is eligible for the most prestigious vintage racing and driving events in the hobby. Additional competition highlights include: 2022 Lamborghini Essenza SCV12, a one-of-40 track-only special developed by Lamborghini’s Squadra Corse racing division and styled by Centro Stile. Offered in unraced condition with delivery miles, this is the only example to feature tinted exposed carbon fiber (Estimate: $1,600,000 – $2,200,000). 1980 BMW M1 Procar, one of approximately 54 M1 Procar examples built and believed to be the only car that remains in virtually as-new, never-raced, remarkably original condition (Estimate: $1,450,000 – $1,850,000). 1999 Chrysler Viper GTS-R ORECA Works, a factory team car…

Research from eBay reveals more than half (54%) of UK motorists are not confident when it comes to installing roof boxes on their car Nearly a third (31%) of UK drivers own a cycle rack or roof box yet 58% don’t know they could face fines for driving with them installed incorrectly Drivers caught with unsecured roof racks risk fines of up to £2,500, and three penalty points on their licence eBay’s My Garage function allows motorists to find the right roof accessories for their vehicle by entering their registration plate London, 24 July 2025 – As drivers across the country pack up their cars for their summer holidays, new research from eBay has revealed a worrying lack of confidence behind mounting roof accessories, with more than half (51%) of motorists not confident when installing them. While nearly a third (31%) of drivers own a cycle rack or roof box, more than half (58%) were unaware they risk a fine and three points on their licence for incorrectly installing them.Nearly a quarter (23%) of drivers in the study use roof accessories at least a few times a week, so UK drivers are risking huge fines which could put a dampener on their summer getaway. Failure to correctly secure a roof rack can result in a maximum fine of £2,500 and three penalty points on the driver’s licence under Section 40A of the Road Traffic Act 1998. Only 7% of motorists said they check and secure their roof box or cycle rack ahead of a road trip. They were much more likely to examine tyre pressures (70%) and oil and water levels (62%). While few will double check their roof box ahead of a trip, nearly a quarter (22%) said they would be happy to fit the accessories themselves. To ensure the roof box and fittings are correct, eBay is urging British motorists to use its My Garage function to ensure they are using the correct roof-mounted accessories for their vehicle. My Garage allows customers to input the registration or make and model of their vehicle. eBay will then display parts and accessories that are relevant to that vehicle on the Marketplace. This gives customers the confidence to purchase items regardless of their knowledge base. Abir Tewari, UK Director of Commercial Operations, Parts & Accessories at eBay, said: “Roof racks, boxes and cycle racks are a great way to maximise luggage space for summer holiday road trips and eBay’s My Garage function is specifically designed to put motorists at ease, by helping them find precisely the right accessory for their vehicle. “Installation is often straight forward but we advise motorists to take their time when fitting new accessories, follow the instructions and make sure their load is securely attached before setting off.” With eBay Assured Fit, when customers purchase an eligible vehicle part or accessory, if it doesn’t fit their vehicle, they can return it for free within 30 days of taking delivery of it and receive a full refund. -ENDS- Press Contactsebay@performancecomms.com About eBayeBay Inc.

Government’s EV Grant chaos risks 3-month power cut to the UK’s electric future, says The Car Expert

Images are for editorial use only. Comment from Stuart Masson, Editorial Director of The Car Expert, on the recently announced Electric Car Grant from the UK Government. It is part of the Plan for Change and comes into effect on 16 July. London, UK 24 July 2025 The UK government’s new electric vehicle (EV) grant – billed as a way to support uptake and affordability – is fast becoming a textbook example of how not to run industrial policy. Right now, no one seems to know which cars will qualify, or what the actual grant values will be. The result? Consumer confidence has collapsed overnight. Manufacturers say EV sales have ground to a halt, with customers cancelling orders left and right in anticipation of price drops that might come with a £3,750 grant – if they’re lucky. One major carmaker said it would be a miracle if they get clarity within three months. That’s three months of paralysis in a sector that needs momentum. Others aren’t waiting: Chinese brands like Leapmotor, MG and GWM have already slashed prices to mimic the potential grant in a bid to restart stalled sales. European brands, like Alfa Romeo, are now following suit. This lack of clarity is not just damaging confidence – it’s distorting the market. What’s worse is that the fallout is entirely avoidable. With July sales already dented, and August traditionally quiet, the government is in danger of sabotaging the crucial September sales month unless it gets its act together, fast. The underlying issue is depressingly familiar: the government – and the civil service advising it – doesn’t seem to understand how the car industry works. Constant policy reversals, vague guidance, and last-minute decision-making have left manufacturers and consumers alike in limbo. If the UK is serious about leading the EV transition, this isn’t the way to do it. The government must urgently provide clear, detailed guidance – or risk losing both credibility and momentum in the shift to electrification. – ENDS – About The Car Expert:Established in 2011, The Car Expert is the UK’s leading automotive consumer advice platform, reaching over two million readers annually.
