It is official: the Citroën 2CV is coming back. And honestly, this might be one of the smartest things Citroën could do right now. Not because the world needs another retro badge. Not because every iconic name should be recycled. Not because nostalgia automatically sells cars. But because the original 2CV was never really about nostalgia in the first place. It was about freedom, affordability, simplicity and making mobility feel human.

Manthey and the Griesemann Gruppe completed the full 24-hour endurance race with the #992 Porsche 911 GT3 Cup MR running on synthetic eFuel Race 98, an eMethanol-based fuel made from green hydrogen and captured CO₂. The car finished 56th overall after completing 128 laps of the Nordschleife, according to the final classification.

After months of uncertainty around Porsche’s next-generation electric 718 Boxster and Cayman, a camouflaged prototype has now been spotted in the German countryside. The important detail? No visible exhaust. No engine noise. And underneath the camouflage, clear signs that this is not simply the current 718 with some disguise thrown over it. It looks like the Porsche 718 Boxster EV is still out there.

The Ram 1500 Rumble Bee is back, and the headline version is completely absurd. The new Rumble Bee SRT uses a 6.2-litre supercharged HEMI V8, produces 777 hp and 921 Nm, and is being positioned by Ram as the fastest production truck ever. Ram’s own site introduces the new Rumble Bee as a muscle truck with availability starting late 2026, while the SRT sits at the top with the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8.

Pagani and Monaco always felt like they belonged together. One is a tiny universe of extreme craftsmanship, impossible materials and obsessive detail. The other is a tiny universe of wealth, collectors, supercars and automotive theatre. So the opening of Pagani de Monaco, the first official Pagani showroom and after-sales service centre in the Principality, feels less like an expansion and more like something that was always supposed to happen.

After showing its electric interpretation of classic Rolls-Royce and Bentley models, the British remastering specialist has now unveiled the Great Eight Series: a combustion-powered, hand-built reinterpretation of the Rolls-Royce Corniche and related Crewe-built icons, centred around the legendary 6.75-litre L-Series V8. The series is limited to 60 one-of-one commissions, each hand-built in Surrey through a process of around 5,000 hours.

Some cars do not need a full press campaign to stop the internet. The Carbonerre GT1 Manta is one of them. It is not an official Porsche model. It is not a factory 911 GT1 revival. It is not some carefully polished OEM heritage project. Instead, it is a radical Porsche 911-based transformation by Carbonerre Motors, built as a futuristic tribute to one of the most mythical Porsche race cars ever: the 911 GT1.

Kimi Antonelli will not be following Max Verstappen into the Green Hell just yet. The young Mercedes Formula 1 driver recently spoke about wanting to obtain the DMSB Nordschleife Permit, also known as the DPN, by the end of the year. That would be the first step towards racing on the Nürburgring Nordschleife, and eventually maybe even joining the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Mercedes has now shut that idea down.

Porsche just reminded everyone that lap times are not won on horsepower alone. A 2019 Porsche 911 GT2 RS with Manthey Kit has set a new production car benchmark at Michelin Raceway Road Atlanta, lapping the circuit in 1:22.649 with Porsche brand ambassador and former factory driver Jörg Bergmeister behind the wheel. That makes it 0.2 seconds quicker than the previous production car record held by the new Chevrolet Corvette ZR1.
