Quick, look over here everyone! It’s a new car that isn’t being unveiled at Monterey Car Week… and it is loud. At least, we’re assuming it is. Ford says about its new Dark Horse SC Convertible – revealed at Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit – that “without a barrier between the driver and the sky,…

Czinger has made a roofless convertible version of its 21C hybrid hypercar. Because of course it has. If you had a tandem central-seat twin-turbo V8 rocketship which revved to 11,000rpm and developed over 1,200bhp, you’d want more stimulation right? You’d want the wind in your hair. You’d want the smell of petrol in your nostrils.…

We could be silly here and suggest Ferrari is now taking notes from Hyundai, this new one-off CZ26 looking like a streamlined version of the South Korean carmaker’s delightful N Vision 74 concept, but we won’t. Because the SF90 Stradale from whence this CZ26 came is not a silly car. And Ferrari – understandably –…

If your knowledge of McLaren stretches beyond ‘F1’, then you’ll likely remember founder Bruce McLaren’s odyssey with the gorgeous M6GT – like the Koenigsegg we featured recently, it was a machine built to take on the sportscar world, but kiboshed at the last minute. Bruce actually went ahead and made a road car. Well, here’s…

Thought Lambo giving the Revuelto a hybrid system was a sign it had gone soft? Well, the ‘standard’ car does still get 1,001bhp so we’re not quite sure how you came to that conclusion, but if that wasn’t enough for you… here’s the 1,050bhp Revuelto SV. Yep, that brilliant graphic on the rear haunch of…

Monterey Porsche Week continues with yet another 911-shaped release, although there aren’t actually any old bits from Stuttgart in this brand-new RUF Ehra. You see, this is RUF’s latest supercar built on the carbon monocoque chassis it first unveiled back in 2017 with the CTR Anniversary. Since then, the SCR, the off-road spec Rodeo and…

Look away now if you think Aston Martins should be the ultimate in refined, gentlemanly, understated elegance. Go stare at a Vanquish instead. This the new Aston Martin Valen, and it’s here for the people who looked at the Vanquish and thought, ‘nope, that’s too beautiful’. Because the Valen looks brutal, all slatted aero up…

Keen Porsche slantnose enthusiasts will keenly remember that in May 2025, Porsche registered ‘Flachbau’ and ‘Flachbau RS’ with the European Patent Office. The one-off, dreamy special above is why: this is the – surprise! – Flachbau RS. It’s an owner’s 991.2 911 GT2 RS – already a formidable machine – transformed by Porsche’s in-house dreamworks…

Earlier this year, three Land Rover Defenders equipped solely with V8s and bravery managed to finish 1st, 2nd and 4th in the new ‘Stock’ class of the 2026 Dakar Rally. Today, Land Rover has revealed you can buy a road-legal version of that very car. Welcome then, to the Defender Dakar: a Defender, honed in…

Just when you thought Gordon Murray and his Special Vehicles division had reached peak car with the S1 LM, he goes and pulls something for the purists (and arguably even more titillating) out the bag. It’s called the GMSV S1, and it’s a direct homage to the McLaren F1 road car – aka the greatest…
