New F1 cars, Singer Turbo, Alfa Tonale and new race cars ...
The first real 2022 Formula 1 car to break cover is the Aston Martin AMR22. It was unveiled this afternoon ahead of a planned shakedown tomorrow. With the car due to run anyway, the Aston Martin team saw no reason for a livery reveal. It looks decisively different from the show car with a distinct nose and raised side-pods. Not giving anything away, the Red Bull Racing opted to do a livery reveal only of the World Championship defending Red Bull Racing RB18.
Porsche 're-imagineer' Singer have introduced the Turbo Study. As with all Porsches re-done by Singer, it is based on a 964-generation 911 but now fitted with a 3.8-litre turbo engine. Fitted with a bespoke carbon-fibre composite body, it can be finished to the customer's specific needs with rear- or all-wheel drive.
Introducing its future motorsport programme, Cadillac published more teaser images of the Project GTP IMSA racer. Due to compete in the now renamed GTP category from 2023 onwards, it should start testing shortly. Ford will enter the GT3 category with a five-litre V8 engined Mustang, which will hit the tracks from the 2024 season onwards.
This week, Alfa Romeo debuted the first all-new model in several years in the form of the Tonale compact SUV. It will be powered by a variety of engines, with the range-topped by this 275 hp Q4 Hybrid. French manufacturer DS Automobiles will use this E-Tense Performance as a high-performance test laboratory for future products. Built around a carbon-fibre composite monocoque chassis, it is powered by a pair of electric motors that are good for a combined 815 hp.

If you should see a man walking down a crowded street talking aloud to himself, don't run in the opposite direction, but run towards him, because he's a poet. You have nothing to fear from the poet - but the truth.
