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.

The Lamborghini Revuelto Roadster may not be happening after all. According to dealer-level information shared after the recent Fenomeno Roadster launch, the issue is not lack of demand. It is not lack of emotion. It is not because people suddenly stopped wanting open-top V12 Lamborghinis. It is the roof. More specifically: where to put it.

Yes, the world knows it for the Zonda, Huayra and Utopia. For carbon fibre. For exposed mechanical beauty. For interiors that look more like mechanical jewellery than conventional cockpits. But Horacio Pagani’s real ambition has always felt bigger than that. He does not simply want to build fast cars. He wants to create beautiful objects. And Pagani Arte is where that philosophy moves beyond the road.

With the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé, AMG is entering unfamiliar but unavoidable territory. This is not just an electrified version of an existing performance sedan. It is effectively AMG’s first true standalone electric performance flagship, built to prove that an EV can still carry the emotional and technical DNA the Affalterbach brand is known for.

The Skoda Epiq configurator is already live, and that makes the car feel much more real. Only hours after Skoda revealed its new compact electric SUV, the first prices, trims, colours and options are already visible. And honestly, this is where the Epiq becomes even more interesting. Because this is not just another EV concept story anymore. This is a small electric SUV with actual pricing, actual versions and a very clear position in the market.

The new Skoda Epiq becomes the brand’s most accessible fully electric model and the entry point into its EV line-up. It sits below the Elroq and Enyaq, uses the new MEB+ platform, and brings up to 440 km of range in a compact SUV package designed for everyday European life. That sounds simple. But in today’s EV market, simple might be exactly what people need.
