After almost 21 hours of front-running pace, the #3 Mercedes-AMG Team Verstappen Racing entry has lost its realistic chance of winning the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours following a technical problem at the right-rear of the car. Dani Juncadella had only just taken over from Max Verstappen when the Mercedes-AMG GT3 started losing speed on the circuit. The car was brought slowly back to the pit lane, reversed into the garage and immediately surrounded by mechanics.

Manthey’s iconic No. 911 “Grello” Porsche 911 GT3 R has retired from the 2026 Nürburgring 24 Hours after less than four hours of racing, following an accident caused by oil on track at Brünnchen. Kévin Estre lost the rear of the car, hit the barrier and, although he was uninjured, the damage to the rear and engine area was too severe to continue.

Your eyes are not deceiving you. This really is a Ferrari Monza SP2 with a proper windscreen. And that feels strange, because the whole point of the Monza SP1 and SP2 was never comfort. When Ferrari introduced the cars as part of the Icona Series, the idea was to bring back the raw spirit of Ferrari’s early racing barchettas.

The Rolls-Royce Black Badge Cullinan by Cyril Kongo is a collection of five private commissions, each featuring hand-painted interior surfaces by the French-Vietnamese contemporary artist. The cars were curated through Rolls-Royce Private Offices in New York, Seoul and Goodwood, and all five have already been allocated to collectors.

During its 2026 global business briefing in Japan, the brand revealed a new Honda Hybrid Sedan Prototype, previewing one of 15 next-generation hybrid models planned globally by the end of the fiscal year ending March 2030, primarily for North America. Honda says these new models will start arriving from 2027, using an all-new hybrid system and next-generation platform.

The new Jeep Avenger gets a fresher face, more technology, improved interior materials and a special 85th Anniversary Edition to celebrate 85 years of Jeep. It remains compact, still clearly designed for Europe, and still available with multiple electrified powertrains: e-Hybrid, Full Electric and 4xe Hybrid.

Kimera just went from restomod specialist to something much more serious. The Kimera K-39 is not simply another modernised Lancia 037 tribute. It is a full-blown, wind-sculpted, Koenigsegg-powered supercar with motorsport ambition, Italian drama and a very clear message: Kimera no longer wants to live only in the past.

Brabus has built something very different. Not another 900 hp G-Class. Not another blacked-out S-Class. Not another SUV with more power than common sense. This is the Brabus Bodo, a coachbuilt V12 hyper-GT created as a tribute to the late Bodo Buschmann, the founder of Brabus. And while the name may sound almost modest, the car itself is anything but.

After the Mokka GSE, the Mokka GSE Rally and the wild Corsa GSE Vision Gran Turismo, Opel is now bringing the GSE badge back to the real world with the new Opel Corsa GSE. It is fully electric, front-wheel drive, properly uprated underneath and, most importantly, the most powerful production Corsa ever built.

The new Ferrari HC25 made its debut at Ferrari Racing Days at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, as the latest creation from Ferrari’s Special Projects programme. Designed by the Ferrari Design Studio under Flavio Manzoni, the HC25 is based on the architecture of the Ferrari F8 Spider and keeps its mid-rear, non-hybrid, twin-turbo V8 layout.

There is red. And then there is Tutto Rosso. The capricorn 01 Zagato Tutto Rosso is not simply a hypercar finished in a red paint colour. It is a full commitment to the idea. Bodywork, cabin, visible surfaces, carbon fibre, leather, Alcantara, almost everything has been pulled into one dramatic red universe.

At the Colmis Proving Ground, Bugatti is putting Tourbillon validation prototypes through extreme winter testing as part of its “A New Era” docuseries. The mission is simple, but brutally difficult: make sure the brand’s next-generation hypercar does not only work when conditions are perfect, but also when the road surface is ice, snow, slush or a constantly changing mix of everything.
