With the MG IM5 and MG IM6, the brand is preparing to move into a more serious part of the European EV market. Not with another affordable compact electric car, but with a larger electric sedan and SUV built around 800V technology, high charging speeds, long-range ambitions and power figures that climb as high as 751 hp.

This is genius. Not in the normal motorsport sense. Not in the “V10, carbon brakes, 1,000 hp and tyre strategy” sense. In the much better sense. Nine Citroën Ami electric quadricycles. One French velodrome. 100 laps. Around 44.5 km of full-throttle chaos. Roughly 8 hp per car. And more than one million viewers watching tiny electric boxes fight for survival on Twitch.

This is the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring “Tree of Life”, a one-off special commission created through Porsche’s bespoke personalisation programme. It is inspired by wine culture, Moldovan symbolism and the kind of customer taste that clearly does not stop at “paint-to-sample and contrast stitching”.

This is the SGT Automobili 55-SGT, and from the first images alone, it already feels like something far more serious. The base? Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio. The body? Carbon fibre. The layout? 4x4, with a ZF automatic gearbox and a 3.0-litre biturbo V6. The price? Around €500,000.

For decades, the formula was simple: fixed speed cameras, mobile radar, laser guns and police patrols. You saw the camera, or you did not. You slowed down, or you got caught. But the next step could be far more uncomfortable. Because in the future, the most powerful enforcement tool may not be standing next to the road. It may already be inside your car.

Most supercars live quiet lives. Climate-controlled garage. Soft cover. Low mileage. Investment logic. Weekend use only, preferably when the sky is blue and the road is clean. And then there is this Ferrari 458 Italia from Japan. Owned by Tetsuya Nagae, this naturally aspirated V8 Ferrari has covered around 242,000 miles, or roughly 390,000 km, since being delivered new in July 2011.

The Miller Motorcars JC9 has been globally unveiled during the dealership’s 50th Anniversary “Legends” celebration, and it is exactly the kind of car that reminds you why coachbuilding still matters. A carbon-fibre, V10, manual supercar based on the Porsche Carrera GT. Designed by Jason Castriota. Inspired by sports prototypes from the 1960s to the 1980s. And built as a one-off commission after a multi-year development process.

Last time, we went full collector mode with a nearly new BMW ALPINA B5 GT Touring in Imola Red. This week, the recipe is very different. Less fantasy garage, more real-life perfection. And honestly? That might make this Volvo V60 Cross Country B4 Diesel AWD even more relevant.

The AC Cobra has always been beautifully unreasonable. A big engine, a small body, rear-wheel drive, noise, danger and almost zero interest in subtlety. But now, for the first time, AC Cars is turning the Cobra into a proper production coupé. Meet the AC Cobra GT Coupé, a fixed-roof V8 grand tourer with a carbon-fibre body, a double-bubble roof, a Kamm-tail rear end and up to 730 hp.
