2026-06-02: 2026 Monaco Historic Grand Prix report and 180-shot gallery ...

This weekend, all eyes will be on Monaco for the annual Formula 1 Grand Prix. We already visited the Principality earlier this year to capture the 15th edition of the
Monaco Historic Grand Prix. The biennial event celebrates the rich history of the most prestigious Grand Prix on the calendar. It uses the very same challenging street circuit and is open to competition cars of a type that raced at Monaco between 1929 and 1985. The entry list is split in eight different grids with seven reserved for Grand Prix cars and the eighth to celebrate the unique 1952 Monaco Grand Prix that was run for sports cars. New for this year's edition was the addition of turbo-engined cars to the final grid on the roster. Even though only one had been used for historic racing, and only once, five of the highly anticipated turbo cars were entered. Among the other stand-out cars were the very rare H16-engined BRM, the one-off Lancia Marino and the 1968 French Grand Prix winning Ferrari 312/68 F1 that was reunited with its original driver Jackie Ickx for demonstration runs. At the sharp end of the fields, there was some fantastic racing as the tight and twisty track really requires a skilled hand.
As always, we explored the streets of Monaco to capture the event in its entirety. The result is this
detailed report and class-by-class
180-shot gallery.
2026-05-28: All-new Ferrari Luce, Mercedes-AMG GT and most powerful Emira yet ...

At a special earlier this week, Ferrari revealed the all-new
Luce. The very first all-electric Ferrari represents a break with tradition in more ways than one. It was styled by industrial designers Jony Ive and Marc Newson, who started with a clean slate. Underneath the striking body panels, the
Luce is also a technological tour de force with 60 patents filed during the engineering process. It features electric motors in each of the four wheels for a combined power of 1,035 bhp. Created to appeal a new niche of the market, Ferrari's four-door battery electric vehicle is priced at well over $600,000.
With 1,153 bhp maximum power output, the latest
Mercedes-AMG GT 63 4-Door Coupe boasts similar figures as the Luce. This power is produced by three electric motors, one on the front axle and two on the rear. The
four-door coupe also has futuristic styling with a particularly interesting rear-end.
Compared to the other two cars announced this week, the
Lotus Emira 420 Sport is refreshingly old-school. Powered by the familiar turbocharged Mercedes-AMG four-cylinder engine, it is both more powerful at 414 bhp and 25 kg lighter than the existing Emira models. The
Emira 420 Sport also introduces a removable hard-top that will be available as an option on the complete Emira range.
2026-05-21: 2026 Goodwood Members' Meeting report and 150-shot gallery ...

Goodwood kicked off the busy 2026 motorsport season with the
83rd Members' Meeting earlier this year. A relatively recent addition to the calendar, it is a more laidback event that still uses the iconic Goodwood Motor Circuit but without the strict cut-off dates of the Revival. The two-day meeting combines a series of races with high-speed demonstrations. Among the many highlights on the roster this year were the two-driver Protheroe Cup for earlier Jaguar E-Types and the two-driver Gordon Spice Trophy for big banger touring cars. These races see owners joined by celebrity drivers that included the likes of Dario Franchitti and Jenson Button. The latter was also out in the Brawn Formula 1 car that he used to win the 2009 World Championship. The two other chassis used that year were also in the paddock, marking the first time they were together since that fabulous season. Additional demonstrations featured the iconic Super Touring cars of the 1990s and a celebration of the 50th anniversary of James Hunt's 1976 Formula 1 World Championship.
Enjoying the lovely spring weather, we were on hand to capture the 83rd Goodwood Members' Meeting from start to finish. The result is this
concise report, illustrated by a class-by-class
150-shot gallery.
2026-05-18: One-off Ferrari and Zonda, new Koenigsegg engined Kimera and BMW Vision Alpina ...

Over the weekend, Ferrari introduced the
HC25, which is the latest one-off model produced by the Italian manufacturer. It is based on the F8 Spider and features styling by the recently introduced F80 hypercar. Like the base vehicle, the
HC25 boasts a non-hybrid twin-turbo V8, which is good for over 700 bhp.
The latest car to emerge from Pagani's
Unico department is this
Zonda Cervino. It was launched at Saturday's Fuori Concorso in Como and boasts bespoke, restyled bodywork. Strictly a one-off, the
Cervino was based on an existing Zonda chassis and was modified specifically for a discerning customer.
Italian specialists manufacturer Kimera has collaborated with Koenigsegg and Dallara to create the truly wild
K39. Underneath the retro, Lancia-inspired skin sits a Koenigsegg twin-turbo V8 engine that produces in excess of 1,000 bhp. In addition to the road-going
Stradale, Kimera will also produce a wilder still
Pikes Peak version to compete in the legendary race to the clouds.
At Villa d'Este, BMW provided a glimpse at the future of the Alpina brand with the
Vision Alpina. Now a wholly owned subsidiary, Alpina looks to produce standalone models using BMW underpinnings.
2026-05-15: Ferraris due to cross the Broad Arrow Auctions block this weekend ...

Broad Arrow Auctions will stage the official
Villa d'Este sale this weekend. The two-day auction includes this striking
Ferrari Daytona SP3. One of just 600 produced, it was finished in a classic red over blue and delivered new to Andorra in 2023. Having covered a mere 743 km from new, chassis
286921 is now estimated to sell for €6,500,000 - 8,500,000.
Also due to have been part of this sale was this
Ferrari Monza SP2 with a distinct three-tone finish. Also in virtually brand-new condition, chassis
261538 has actually already found a new owner before the sale.
In addition to the in-person auction during the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este, Broad Arrow also stages the 2026 spring edition of the
Global Icons online-only sale. The absolute headliner is another Ferrari; this
LaFerrari. Painted in an unusual 'Fuji' white, it has been fastidiously maintained but only used very sparingly. In fact, Broad Arrow reckons
214333 ranks among the LaFerraris with the lowest mileage. Accordingly, the pre-sale estimate is $4,250,000 - 4,750,000.
2026-05-12: New Lamborghini few-off and Super Trofeo, and Golf and Renault show cars ...

During the dedicated Lamborghini Arena event this weekend at Imola, the Italian manufacturer debuted the new
Fenomeno Roadster and the
Temerario Super Trofeo. Powered by a 1,080 hp V12 hybrid drivetrain, the
Fenomeno Roadster is the latest 'few-off' model produced by Lamborghini. Like the Coupe model introduced in 2025, the Roadster has a limited production run. In this case only 15 examples will be produced and all of these are undoubtedly already spoken for.
The
Temerario Super Trofeo is Lamborghini's new weapon for the Italian company's popular one-make trophy. It was jointly developed with the GT3 version that debuted earlier this year at the Sebring 12 Hours. Power comes from a twin-turbo V8 that is mated to a six-speed sequential gearbox. The
Temerario is due to compete in the Super Trofeo events from the 2027 season onwards.
That year, Volkswagen plans to run the Golf R in the Nürburgring 24 Hours. To give a first impression what we can expect on the grid in twelve months time, VW created this
Golf R 24H Show Car. The car due to be raced by Max Kruse Racing in 2027 should be very similar to this year's show car.
At the prestigious Rolland Garros tennis tournament in Paris, Renault will unveil this funky
4 JP4X4 Concept. Based on the recently re-introduced '4' and inspired by the JP4 of the 1980s, it is a cross between a pick-up and a beach buggy.
