Morgan and Pininfarina have continued their collaboration with this striking Midsummer Coupe as the result. Like the Roadster launched a few years ago, it combines the sophisticated bonded aluminium chassis with a Pininfarina design. As a closer look at the Midsummer Coupe proves, this is a match made in heaven. Sadly, only nine examples will be built of the BMW-engined coupe.
In a break with tradition, the next generation Porsche GT4 racer will be based on the 911. To be more specific, the 992 II iteration of the 911 GT3. Dubbed the 911 GT4 R, it features a four-litre naturally aspirated six cylinder engine, which is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox. The maximum output is 512 bhp but to balance the performance, intake restrictors will be fitted. Deliveries of the Cayman GT4 replacement will start in time for the 2027 season.
For the company's annual sale on the Monterey Peninsula, Bonhams Cars has switched venues as it will now be held on the Raceway Laguna Seca circuit. Fittingly, the British auctioneer consigned several interesting competition cars. Among them is Lamborghini Diablo GT, which combines the best of both worlds as it is homologated for the road but also ready to hit the track. The example on offer has been fastidiously maintained and offered with around 12,000 km on the odometer. Also on offer is this BMW M3 GT, which is the prototype for the E46-generation competition cars built for BMW by American specialists PTG Motorsport. Chassis 00-001 was raced extensively by PTG Motorsport during the 2000 season and continued to compete for several more seasons in the hands of customer teams.

For next weekend's Tegernsee auction Anglo-Canadian company RM Sotheby's have consigned the most instantly recognisable of the six Koenigsegg One:1s. Introduced a the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, the One:1 got its name for its 1 hp per kg power to weight ratio. The consigned example is believed to be the third of the six production cars built and was finished a particularly striking colour combination of clear-coated carbon-fibre composite with pink accents. It has been regularly used and accrued over 4,000 km during the past decade. RM Sotheby's estimated that the next custodian will have to fork out at least €8 million to acquire chassis 7108.
That same weekend, Artcurial will stage the official Le Mans Classic Legend sale. The full, illustrated lot list is now live and includes some striking cars like the unique, Gordon Murray designed Duckhams LM Cosworth and the rare DFV-engined Mirage M3.

It packs more power, has improved handling characteristics and boasts an enhanced exterior design by renowned stylist Frank Stephenson.

The annual Spa Classic is one of the absolute highlights on the historic racing calendar. The event traditionally welcomes superb grids to the legendary Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps, which is draped over the Belgian Ardennes. During the 2026 edition, the track did not live up to its reputation as we were treated to beautiful conditions throughout the weekend. There were changes on track as well as the second round of the Le Mans Classic Series saw the addition of two new race groups; the Heritage Touring Cup 2 for Group A touring cars and the GT3 Revival for 2006 - 2013 GT3 racers. These were part of the nine-grid strong roster that included night races on Saturday evening. Among the many highlights on track were a Gulf-liveried Porsche 917 K, a TWR Jaguar XJ-S and a freshly restored Audi R8.
Our photographers were on hand throughout the weekend to capture the 2026 Spa Classic in its entirety. The grid-by-grid report is illustrated by our exclusive 200-shot gallery.

In the build-up to the 24 Hours of Le Mans, BMW revealed the M Concept Neue Klasse. As the name suggests it is BMW Motorsport version of the new Neue Klasse modular platform. Although no technical details have been revealed of the striking show car, it is a battery electric vehicle and uses the hugely sophisticated 'Heart of Joy' control system that is capable of handling 1,000s Nm of torque. The M Concept Neue Klasse is not just concept car but is a preview of the upcoming production version due in the near future.
While making the marque's Le Mans debut, Hyundai's luxury arm Genesis also revealed the Magma GT3 Concept. It is the competition version of the Magma GT Concept unveiled late last year and signals a clear intent of expanding Genesis' motorsport activities. Technical details on both concept cars are sparse but they most like feature a mid-mounted V8 engine that is similar to the one powering the Le Mans Hypercar that competed at Le Mans this weekend. Time will tell if the Magma GT will enter production and if the GT3 version will join its bigger brother on the race track.

During the Monaco Grand Prix, Audi revealed the all-new Nuvolari. Named after the legendary Italian racing driver Tazio Nuvolari, it is not a successor to the R8 but the very first Audi hypercar. Power comes from a twin-turbo V8 that is assisted by three electric motors with a combined output of 1,001 metric horsepower. In good Audi tradition, an aluminium space frame chassis is used but clothed in a carbon-fibre composite body for the first time. Production of the 350 km/h Nuvolari is strictly limited to 499 examples with the first deliveries expected early in 2027.
BMW North America will sound out the production of the sixth generation M3 with this very special M3 CS Handschalter.

Sadly, the GRMN Corolla will be produced in limited numbers and will only be available in Japan, Australia and North America.

Broad Arrow Private sales have been entrusted with this very early Ford GT40, which is offered from a single ownership of over 30 years. It was entered at Le Mans in 1965 by Ford Advanced Vehicles and was the first sport the definitive nose shape. It was later also used for extensive testing before it was sold. In subsequent ownership, it was loaned to the Midland Motor Museum before the current custodian acquired GT40P/1006 in 1993. We captured it at a very rare public appearance at the 2013 Goodwood Revival where it was raced by Henri Pescarolo in the Whitsun Trophy, which was reserved exclusively for Ford GT40s.
Another Le Mans car that has made headlines over the last few years is this Chevrolet Corvette from 1960. It was entered at Le Mans that year by Briggs Cunningham and then changed several times before it disappeared from view in 1974. Fast forward to 2021 when it was acquired at auction in rather derelict condition by the Cunningham family. They had the ex-Le Mans comprehensively restored to its original configuration. Chassis 00867S103535 was then shown a variety of events. It is now consigned to the upcoming RM Sotheby's Monterey sale with a $2 - $2.5 million estimate.
Also consigned to the Anglo-Canadian company's flagship auction is this very rare Aston Martin DB4 GT Zagato. One of just 19 built, this was the only one sold new to Australia. It remained 'Down Under' for three decades and in more recent years has been part of two prominent American collector. Regularly shown at events, DB4GT/0186/R was one of the four nominees of the coveted Pebble Beach 'Best of Show' in 2019. Due to be one of the absolute star cars, the DB4 GT Zagato should sell for well over $12 million.
