Koenigsegg's €3.8M Spear. 30 Gone. Already.
1,625hp, sold out before it was public, named after a racehorse — Koenigsegg just did it again without breaking a sweat.
30 units at ~€3.8m each, 5.0L twin-turbo V8 on E85 producing 1,625hp, Lightspeed 9-speed, all sold to VIP clients before public launch. Gotland Ring lap already beat the Jesko Attack by 1.1s. FastestLaps forum is already arguing whether the hp figure is SAE or PS — which is the correct reaction.
The Sadair's Spear is Koenigsegg's most extreme road-legal creation, a track-focused evolution of the Jesko Attack bloodline. The name is deeply personal: Christian von Koenigsegg's father Jesko rode a horse called Sadair's Spear in his final race as a gentleman jockey in 1976. The car drops roughly 35kg vs the Jesko Attack, gains an active double-blade top-mounted rear wing producing 850kg of downforce at 250km/h (up over 360kg on the Attack), and adds enlarged front canards, underfloor strakes and reworked hood venting. Power rises to 1,300hp on 95-octane and 1,625hp on E85, via revised engine mapping and new rear hood scoops. The Lightspeed 9-speed flywheel-free transmission remains. At Gotland Ring, the first shakedown run clocked 1.1 seconds quicker than the Jesko Attack's standing record. All 30 units were pre-sold at a private VIP preview — no public order window existed. Price is officially undisclosed but confirmed by Top Gear and market sources at approximately €3.8m. If one reaches auction, expect considerably more.

Novitec Paints Revuelto Purple. Jamiroquai Approves.
Novitec's first full Revuelto programme lands in Diablo SE 30 purple — subtler than expected, better for it.
Full aero kit in exposed carbon, active rear wing enlarged with integrated lip spoiler, quad exhaust in custom surround, lowering springs drop ride height 25mm. Purple show car is a direct nod to the Diablo SE 30 from the Cosmic Girl video. Price undisclosed — it's a Novitec Revuelto package, you already know it's not cheap. The Lambo forums are split: half love the Jamiroquai wink, the other half think the standard Revuelto didn't need help.
Novitec's refinement programme for the Lamborghini Revuelto is its most comprehensive package for any V12 hybrid to date. Starting with visual aero elements crafted from high-gloss exposed carbon fibre — or optionally body-colour matched — the kit adds a revised front splitter, side skirts, and an enlarged active rear wing with an integrated lip spoiler said to meaningfully increase downforce. New hood-mounted airbox improves engine cooling. The quad exhaust configuration uses a bespoke surround between the taillights, with slightly larger central pipes for aural theatre. Wheels are available in 21-inch front and 22-inch rear across three designs and 72 finishes. Custom sport springs lower the car 25mm. The purple launch car is a deliberate reference to the Diablo SE 30 Jota that starred in Jamiroquai's 1996 Cosmic Girl video — the kind of heritage detail that earns enthusiast respect. Pricing is not disclosed, consistent with Novitec's usual approach. The Revuelto has attracted multiple tuner programmes since its 2023 debut, but Novitec's effort is arguably the most factory-sympathetic to date, staying close to Lamborghini's own design language rather than diverging into bodykit excess.

AC Cobra GT Coupe: 730 PS, V8, Zero Apologies
AC Cars is back with a full carbon coupe body, supercharged V8 and 730 PS — not a replica, a proper British road weapon.
Full carbon-fibre coupe body over a supercharged V8 producing 730 PS (approx 720 hp). Positioned as a genuine road car with AC Cars' first closed-roof Cobra body in decades. Six-speed manual confirmed. Pistonheads thread erupted within hours: 'finally someone building what Shelby should have' vs 'AC who?' — the sceptics have not done their homework.
The AC Cobra GT Coupe represents a significant evolution for the storied British marque, which has previously focused on open roadster variants. The closed-roof carbon fibre coupe body is new from the ground up, housing a supercharged V8 producing 730 PS (approximately 720 hp in imperial measure). A six-speed manual gearbox is standard — AC resisting the temptation to chase the automatic-only luxury GT crowd. The result is a car closer in spirit to the Cobra's original 1962 ethos: lightweight, overpowered, and structurally purposeful rather than fashionably bulbous. AC Cars has carefully positioned this as a serious road car rather than a heritage replica, with modern safety cell construction and contemporary aerodynamic surfacing. The coupe form also solves a long-standing critique of Cobra derivatives: weather protection, which makes it genuinely relevant as a touring proposition over Alpine passes. Limited production numbers and pricing have not been formally published, but comparable British low-volume V8 GT coupes suggest a figure north of £200,000. The enthusiast community's reaction is mixed but weighted positive — primarily because the manual gearbox signals real intent.

Ferrari CEO Defends Luce. Orders Are Real.
Benedetto Vigna goes on record to say the Luce order book is full and real — which tells you everything about the room.
Vigna publicly defends confirmed Luce orders amid sustained scepticism from press and long-standing Ferrari clientele. The fact that a CEO feels compelled to defend a car before a single delivery is the story. Ferrarichat remains split 50/50 between 'the order book is VIP spec-holders hedging' and 'give it six months and the noise dies down' — the V12 traditionalists are not yet reconciled.
Ferrari CEO Benedetto Vigna's public defence of the Luce EV order book comes weeks after the car's Rome world premiere generated a polarised response both online and from within the traditional Ferrari client base. Luca di Montezemolo's widely reported criticism — essentially that the Luce misuses the Ferrari badge — gave vocal form to what many forum participants had been saying privately. Vigna's rebuttal insists confirmed customer orders are genuine and not speculative. The Luce is a five-seat all-electric GT producing over 1,000hp, designed by Jony Ive's LoveFrom studio, priced at approximately €500,000, with 2027 deliveries targeted. Ferrari has not disclosed order volumes. The strategic logic is clear: EV legislation timelines require Ferrari to establish electric credibility, and the Luce targets a buyer demographic (Jony Ive clientele, tech money, new luxury) that doesn't overlap cleanly with the existing V12 base. Whether the two communities can coexist under one badge without dilution is the question Vigna is trying to pre-answer. History suggests the market decides, not the CEO.
