McLaren is leaving nothing to chance ahead of the most far-reaching F1 season in decades. For the Barcelona Shakedown, the team has revealed a one-off test livery for the brand-new MCL40, the car with which McLaren will defend its world titles in 2026, a restrained, technical black-and-silver combination that fits the moment perfectly: testing, learning, optimising.

Some car stories sound so absurd that you can only believe them if photos exist. This is one of them. Long before the world met the Bugatti Veyron and its mythical W16, Volkswagen tested that sixteen-cylinder monster… in a Lamborghini Diablo. Not a concept car for the show, not a design study, but a raw, functional test vehicle. Typical Ferdinand Piëch.

Porsche does it again. Not with yet another power record or Nürburgring time, but with something that says just as much about where the brand stands today. At boot Düsseldorf 2026, Porsche and Austrian boat builder Frauscher Boats show how far electrification, design and personalisation already reach today. Not only on the road, but also... on the water.

If you win three times in a row at Daytona International Speedway, you can no longer call it luck. You call it dominance. In the 64th Rolex 24 Hours of Daytona, Porsche Penske Motorsport once again made history with their third consecutive victory in this iconic 24-hour race. That is exactly the kind of achievement that makes endurance fans grin from ear to ear, and rightly so.

In a world where sports cars are becoming heavier, quieter, and above all more computer‑controlled, Donkervoort does what Donkervoort always does: the exact opposite. The new Donkervoort P24 RS is not a car you stumble upon by accident. It is a car you choose because you want feedback, because you want control, and because you are done with driving experiences filtered through software.

The moment has finally arrived. Forza Horizon 6 has been officially revealed with an extensive gameplay trailer, and everything suggests that Playground Games has understood exactly what fans have been calling for over more than a decade. With 550 cars, the largest city ever in Horizon, legendary roads and even touge battles, Horizon 6 looks like the most ambitious entry in the series to date.

On the same day that Volvo unveils the fully electric EX60, the brand immediately plays a second, telling card: the Volvo EX60 Cross Country. No separate show, no long wait. Just an immediate statement of what Volvo stands for today: electric mobility without limitations, for people who want to see more, drive further and refuse to be held back by tarmac, or the lack of it.

Bentley. A brand synonymous with handbuilt luxury, British elegance and effortless performance. But what if you unleash that DNA on a closed factory site, hand the keys to Travis Pastrana, and say: “Do whatever you want”? Then you get Supersports: FULL SEND, without doubt the most dynamic, loudest and most spectacular film Bentley has ever made.

Twenty years after the Bugatti Veyron permanently reshaped the automotive world, the brand from Molsheim strikes hard once again. With the Bugatti FKP Hommage, Bugatti presents not a retro exercise and not a restomod, but a masterpiece that unites past, present and absolute technical perfection. This is the second creation within the exclusive Programme Solitaire and at the same time a deeply respectful tribute to the man without whom the Veyron would never have existed: Ferdinand Karl Piëch.
