AC Cobra GT Coupe: 730 PS, V8, Six-Speed
Britain's oldest car maker just built its most convincing Cobra in 60 years — supercharged, carbon-bodied, roof-on, and priced to make your accountant cry.
730 PS supercharged Ford 5.0 V8, carbon fibre over aluminium spaceframe, six-speed manual available, £256,300+ before options — first deliveries 2028 after GT Roadster customers are cleared. Carscoops commenters noted AC pointedly references the A98 Le Mans racer rather than the Shelby Daytona, which is either brave heritage positioning or a very polite lawsuit-avoidance strategy.

Mille Miglia 2026 Grid Set. Fisichella In.
400+ pre-1957 machines line up in Brescia on June 9 — including Fisichella in a 1954 SIATA and Andrea Vesco chasing a seventh straight win in his Alfa 6C.
The figure-eight route runs Brescia–Rome–Rimini–Brescia across five days from June 9–13; 29 nations represented, 400+ crews accepted. Vesco's shot at seven straight is the competitive headline, but Loris Capirossi piloting a 1949 Lancia Aprilia has absolutely no right to be this entertaining.

Lotus Recants on EVs. V6 and V8 Coming.
Lotus publicly admits its all-electric pivot was a mistake and confirms combustion engines are back on the development agenda — Colin Chapman is spinning in his grave, but grinning.
Brand confirmed V6 and V8 programmes are in development as it walks back its earlier EV-only strategy; no timeline or displacement details released yet. Reddit r/cars reaction split between 'finally someone said it' and scepticism that this is just investor-friendly noise before the next pivot.

Ferrari CEO Defends Luce. Orders Are Real.
Benedetto Vigna insists Luce customer orders are genuine and meaningful, even as Wall Street and the traditionalist faithful both raise an eyebrow.
Ferrari CEO confirms actual customer deposits on the Luce EV but declined to give production volume or delivery timeline; no pricing update beyond the ~€500k baseline. Ferrarichat remains split — the EV-curious are quietly intrigued, the V12 brigade is not having a good month.

TechArt's 992.2 Kit. +111 hp. Done.
TechArt's 2026 upgrade programme for the 992.2 911 Turbo S adds 111 hp via TECHTRONIC powerkits and a new carbon Rear Spoiler III — subtle, effective, Porsche-approved in spirit if not on paper.
The 992.2 programme delivers up to 111 hp via ECU-matched TECHTRONIC powerkits plus the new lightweight carbon Rear Spoiler III; full GPF compatibility confirmed, kits available now through authorised dealers. Rennlist crowd predictably split between 'this is exactly what it needed' and 'the stock car is already beyond most of us' — both camps have a point.
