Porsche 911 Challenge

26 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

The latest addition to Porsche’s customer motorsport family brings things full circle: from now on, all four of the GT racing cars by the ‘Sportwagenschmiede’ are based on the 911. At the same time, the new 911 Challenge expands the range with a new entry-level model. Unlike the Cup racing car unveiled in August 2025, the Challenge utilises a significant amount of production-based GT3 technology. In addition to the aerodynamics, this includes a seven-speed PDK gearbox, the steering wheel from the GT3 RS with enhanced, racing-specific functions, and air conditioning. Adjustable driver assistance systems such as ABS, traction control and the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) make it easier to get started in motorsport, as do variable driving dynamics systems. These also include the multi-stage adjustable Porsche Torque Vectoring Plus (PTV+). From the 2027 season onwards, the 911 Challenge can be entered in numerous one-make series worldwide.

"Since their introduction, the G ...

Cadillac V-One Concept

18 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Cadillac reveals the V-ONE — a concept study combining the brand’s race-winning authenticity and bespoke Cadillac refinement. Its name unites the Cadillac V-Series performance legacy with a one-of-one, single-seat expression, the first of its kind for the brand.

Rooted in performance engineering with shared Cadillac V-Series.R foundations, the V-ONE Concept1 explores how competition hardware can be translated into a driver-focused experience, while reinforcing Cadillac’s broader race-winning story across design, performance and technology.

“The Cadillac V-ONE Concept is the ultimate manifestation of a customer performance concept and is a clear sign of our ambition for the Cadillac V-Series brand in the future,” said Dominic Najafi, Executive Design Director, Global Cadillac.

The V-ONE is rooted in Cadillac’s LMDh racing program and informed by the V-Series.R race car, reinforcing that Cadillac performance is defined by real engineering rather than rac ...

Gordon Murray Automotive S1

18 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Gordon Murray Special Vehicles has revealed the new ‘S1’ supercar at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, a touring-focused evolution of the S1 LM that exudes timeless confidence and celebrates a unique approach to Driving Perfection.

The naturally aspirated, V12-powered, manual supercar is an evolution of the S1 LM platform, which is optimised for mechanical grip, rather than high downforce, to offer a distinctive driving experience. The revised suspension adds comfort and refinement for long distance journeys, while retaining Gordon Murray’s signature Driving Perfection philosophy. The S1 commission is the latest model from Gordon Murray Special Vehicles, where all seven design principles are pushed to their most extreme expression.

While the S1 shares its family DNA with the S1 LM (the Special One), its character and purpose are distinctly different. The S1 LM was conceived as the most intense, road-legal, race-inspired celebration of Gordon Murray’s 199 ...

Porsche Flachbau RS

18 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

The Flachbau (otherwise known as slantnose) body style and the Sonderwunsch programme have been closely linked at Porsche for decades. In the 1980s, the sports car manufacturer offered a spectacular modified version of the 911 Turbo (Type 930) with redesigned front wings and pop-up headlights. The design was based on the legendary Porsche 935, which dominated endurance racing for many years. Between 1982 and 1989, 948 examples of this modified version were sold. Even with later conversions taken into account, Flachbau models are still among the rarest variants of the 911 today. Curiosity and intrigue among those on the sports car scene and media world was certainly piqued when it emerged that Porsche had registered the model designations ‘Flachbau’ and ‘Flachbau RS’ with the European Patent Office in May 2025. Now the brand is revealing the secret: the reason for this patent filing was this elaborate transformation of a like-new 911 GT2 RS (Type 991.2) with Weissach Package fro ...

Ferrari CZ26

14 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Ferrari presents the Ferrari CZ26, a new One-Off created as part of the Special Projects programme. Designed by the Ferrari Design Studio under the direction of Flavio Manzoni and developed for a US client, it represents an extremely personal vision of the supersport berlinetta concept, reimagined through an essential, technological design language with a forward-looking vision.

The car draws on the exceptional dynamic features and performance of the SF90 Stradale, retaining its technical specifications and the essence of a top-of-the-range, ultra-high-performance supercar.

The stylistic theme of the Ferrari CZ26 is defined by a distinctly horizontal design, with a highly distinctive two-box silhouette. The car has a stable, road-hugging presence thanks to a structure based o ...

Ford Mustang Dark Horse SC Convertible

14 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Ford Racing introduces the new Mustang® Dark Horse® SC convertible — the first new high-performance Mustang convertible since 2013 and the most powerful open-air Mustang ever. Orders open this fall, with cars arriving in dealer showrooms in spring 2027.

“If the coupe is the race-bred side of our DNA, this convertible is the pure street cred part of the formula,” said Mark Rushbrook, global director, Ford Racing. “It’s just pure fun, fast, freedom.”

What is the Mustang Dark Horse SC convertible? It’s the drop-top counterpart to the Dark Horse SC coupe, bringing Ford Racing engineering to the newest member of the Mustang Dark Horse family.

Koenigsegg CCGT1

14 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Just as the CC850 pays tribute to the CC8S - Koenigsegg's first homologated production car - the CCGT1 pays tribute to the iconic Koenigsegg CCGT GT1 race project.

Christian von Koenigsegg’s desire to go endurance racing was clear from the very beginnings of his sportscar endeavors. Christian studied the Le Mans GT1 regulations meticulously while designing the first CC prototype, for example scaling its width and frontal area to fit within the GT1 regulations, without any need to change this on a racing version later. Fitting within those dimensions would become standard for Koenigsegg’s initial models - the CC8S and CCR - so it was no surprise when the project to build an actual GT1 endurance racer began. That project eventually became the CCGT.

Working alongside legendary Koenigsegg engineer and fabricator Dag Bölenius, Christian manufactured the CCGT to come in well under the class weight limit of 1,100kg. With a weight of around 1,000 kg, there was room to positi ...

McLaren McL 6GT

14 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

McLaren Automotive reveals the McL 6GT at the 2026 Monterey Car Week. The first McLaren car of its kind, its design connects McLaren’s heritage to the present, using the McLaren M6GT – Bruce McLaren’s original, but unfulfilled supercar dream, as its inspiration.

It is presented as an unmistakable signal of how the maverick spirit within McLaren can inform a future-facing approach to McLaren cars that will captivate with character. It also lays the foundations for a newly positioned and highly exclusive type of McLaren supercar beyond the core and expanded portfolio, which will be made real with a production version of McL 6GT in 2028.

Placing a tangible emphasis on authentically reimagined heritage, modern tactility and pure driver connection throughout its finer details, McL 6GT blends its purity of character with lightweight carbon-fibre construction, V8 internal combustion power, and for the first time in a McLaren since the legendary McLaren F1, an authentic man ...

Bugatti Destrier

11 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Named after the finest and strongest type of medieval knight’s horse, the Destrier asks: what if the most extraordinary Bugatti engineering package ever created was untouched by wings, vents, and aerodynamic addenda, appreciated purely for its proportions? The result is a car standing just one meter tall, dramatically lower than any other Bugatti model. Its wheels – 20-inch at the front and 21 at the rear, a significant step up from the Bolide’s 18-inch items – appear monumental against a body pared back to its purest volumes. 

Where previous Solitaire commissions – Brouillard and F.K.P. Hommage – were crafted from emotive stories and steeped in history, Destrier is instead an instinctive, emotional design-first sculptural masterpiece. Yet the underlying idea behind its creation is undoubtedly authentic to Bugatti history. The Type 57 chassis, for example, once underpinned both the streamlined Type 57G and Type 57C "Tank" racers that won Le Mans outright in 1937 an ...

Ferrari 499P Evo

06 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

A taste of the future at Monza, where Ferrari completed a day of testing with the 499P ahead of the 2027 season. Antonio Fuoco, Antonio Giovinazzi, Alessandro Pier Guidi and Miguel Molina took turns at the wheel of the Prancing Horse’s Hypercar at the Autodromo Nazionale.

The development programme continues with the evaluation, testing and validation of a wide range of technical and aerodynamic solutions. This is a step-by-step process that keeps several design options open until final homologation, providing for on-track testing of different configurations as part of the project’s natural evolution.

Since its FIA World Endurance Championship debut at Sebring in 2023, the 499P has claimed seven victories – including three consecutive wins at the 24 Hours of Le Mans – along with 24 podium finishes and nine pole positions. That form enabled Ferrari to win the FIA World Endurance Manufacturers’ and Drivers’ titles in 2025, testament to the car’s outstanding com ...

Hennessey Blackbird

06 Aug 2026 10:59:04 CST

Hennessey Special Vehicles, has revealed the all-new Hennessey Blackbird, an aerospace-inspired, naturally aspirated, manual-transmission, touring hypercar. Created for drivers who value emotion, engagement, and long-distance usability, the new model prioritizes sculptural beauty and analog interaction alongside its significant performance capability. Inspired by the legendary Lockheed SR-71 Blackbird aircraft, the new Hennessey hypercar is an authentic alternative to increasingly complex, digitized, and hybridized modern hypercars.

Blackbird is the third hypercar developed by Hennessey Special Vehicles after Venom GT and Venom F5, but it measures performance differently. Where the Venom F5 explores the outer limits of speed, power, and intensity, Blackbird is built around the quality of the connection between driver, machine, and road: natural aspiration, a six-speed gated manual, rear-wheel drive, lightweight carbon construction, and a cockpit without screens.

At its he ...
