Theon's 964. Carbon Body. Beats a GT3.
A full carbon-bodied 964 restomod with 421 hp, six-speed manual, and better power-to-weight than a new GT3 — six people get one in 2026.
£430,000 before you source a 964 donor — add £90-150k for that — so budget ~£580k+ and 6,000 build-hours. Carbuzz called it a car that 'makes a modern GT3 look overweight,' and Reddit r/Porsche reaction has been predictably unhinged: half calling it the finest 964 ever built, the other half insisting Singer still owns the category.
Theon Design's latest commission starts life as a 964-generation 911 and ends it with a nearly full carbon-fibre body — steel doors retained for authentic panel feel — a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six producing 421 bhp and 364 lb-ft sent through a six-speed manual to the rear wheels. Wet weight sits at 1,146 kg, which puts the power-to-weight ratio meaningfully ahead of a 992.2 GT3. The car features a MoTeC ECU, drive-by-wire throttle with selectable maps from 'Town' through to 'Raucous' — which raises the active rear spoiler and opens the exhaust — semi-active suspension, nose-lift, and wireless charging. The colour? Crayon Grey with Lizard Green accents and brushed Eclipse brightwork, co-developed with the anonymous buyer. Theon completes just six cars per year. At this output and this price, it is probably the closest rival to Singer's Classic study that money can buy in Britain — and given Singer closed its order books for Classic builds some years ago, Theon is arguably the only serious option for a 964 restomod at this level. Delivery slots for 2026 are presumably spoken for. Enquire about 2027.

Singer Drove the Susten. All of It.
Singer owners spent two days on Swiss Alpine passes in a sea of reimagined 964s — and this is exactly why this briefing exists.
Seventeen Singer owners based at The Brecon hotel in Adelboden drove routes including the Susten and Grimsel passes, with Classic, Classic Turbo (510 hp, titanium exhaust), and DLS cars all present. Robb Report sampled a Classic Turbo — Mezger flat-six, twin turbos, air-water intercooling — and called it the Singer treatment that 'most effectively pairs today's automotive acumen with the finest of yesteryear's sensibilities.' The Pistonheads forum summed it up simply: some dreams do come true.
Singer Vehicle Design's first formal European multi-day owner drive took place in Adelboden, Switzerland, using The Brecon hotel as base camp — a fitting detail since the hotel's owner Grant Maunder is himself a Singer customer and the event's co-organiser alongside Singer founder Rob Dickinson. Seventeen cars attended, spanning Singer's three core service lines: the Classic (naturally aspirated, pure analogue), the Classic Turbo (an homage to the 930, with twin-turbo Mezger, carbon fibre body, and up to 510 hp in the commission driven), and the DLS Turbo (the highest-expression study developed with Williams Advanced Engineering). Routes crossed some of the finest tarmac in the Alpine canon — Susten, Grimsel, and surrounding Bernese Oberland passes — which places this event squarely in Haus of Apex territory. A France iteration of the owner's escape is planned next. For anyone who has dreamed of driving a reimagined 911 over a Swiss pass in convoy with sixteen other examples, know that Singer is apparently now making this a recurring offer for its clientele. The waiting list for new commissions remains long. The roads remain open.

G-Power Hits 1,013 PS. M5. Done.
G-Power just cracked four figures in the BMW M5 G90 — bolts, a tune, and €31k separates you from 1,013 PS.
The full GP-1000 kit for the M5 G90 sedan and G99 Touring costs €31,297 and delivers 1,013 PS and 1,200 Nm via downpipes, GP-Deeptone exhaust, upgraded intercoolers, and an Eventuri carbon intake — V8 only, the electric motor is untouched. BimmerPost reaction: cautiously awed, with several threads noting that the stock M5's 3.5-second 0-100 time is already 'overkill for public roads,' making this kit 'peak excess and we're absolutely here for it.'
G-Power's GP-1000 program targets both the G90 M5 saloon and G99 M5 Touring, BMW's controversial plug-in hybrid super-saloon that makes 727 hp from the factory. The tuner's approach is surgical: all upgrades attack the V8, leaving the electric motor and its hybrid integration entirely stock. Hardware includes 200-cell sport catalytic converters, GP-Deeptone exhaust, upgraded GP-Performance intercoolers, and an Eventuri carbon intake system. The base software tune alone bumps output to 838 PS for €3,595 plus a €595 ECU unlock — entry-level sanity, of a sort. The full €31,297 GP-1000 kit adds the hardware and brings 1,013 PS and 1,200 Nm. G-Power has not released new 0-100 or top speed figures, but the stock car covers 100-200 km/h in 7.4 seconds — that number will look very different with 286 more horsepower on tap. This follows G-Power's March 2026 G2M Bi-Turbo kit for the M2, which punched the S58 to 700 PS, confirming the tuner's current run of form across the M division portfolio. Context for the purists: yes, it is a hybrid family saloon. It is also, apparently, the new apex predator.

Mille Miglia Leaves Brescia Tuesday.
400 cars, 29 nations, a seventh title for Vesco on the line — the 2026 Mille Miglia is three days away and the grid is a moving museum.
The 44th edition runs June 9–13 on a figure-eight route through Padua, Montecatini Terme, Rome, and Rimini, crossing the Abetone Pass and skirting Lake Garda. Defending champions Andrea Vesco and Fabio Salvinelli chase a seventh consecutive win in their 1929 Alfa Romeo 6C 1750 SS, while Giancarlo Fisichella takes the wheel of a 1954 S.I.A.T.A 30 BC. The Pistonheads thread on the grid dropped this week: the consensus is that 77 original race-participant cars in one event is 'simply unrepeatable anywhere else on earth.'
The 1000 Miglia 2026 is the 44th edition of the historic re-enactment and the most geographically ambitious in years, following a figure-eight format that echoes the original speed race's earliest editions. More than 400 crews from 29 nations start in Brescia on June 9, with Italy contributing 225 drivers and co-drivers alone. Of the accepted entries, 77 are 'participant' cars — vehicles with documented original race history between 1927 and 1957 — making this year's field an extraordinary rolling archive. The route crosses the Cavallo Pass on day one, the Abetone Pass on day two, descends to Rome for the traditional turnaround, then heads north through Assisi, Gubbio, the Furlo Gorge, and Rimini, before finishing in Viale Venezia, Brescia on June 13. Alfa Romeo leads the entry list with 49 cars, followed by Fiat, with Ferrari, Lancia, Jaguar, Mercedes-Benz, and Porsche also well represented. The drama to watch: Andrea Vesco has won six consecutive editions — a seventh would be genuinely historic. For Alpine enthusiasts in Northern Italy and the DACH region, the passes on days one and two are accessible and free to spectate from the roadside. Go.

HYPERCAR
Temerario Under MSRP. Already.
A brand-new Lamborghini Temerario is selling below sticker in Beverly Hills — the 907 hp V8 hypercar has a buyer problem, not a car problem.
A Beverly Hills dealer is moving 2026 Temerarios at under the $382,000 MSRP, with used examples at 114 miles already appearing at $449,000 post-discount. The Temerario makes 907 hp from a 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 and three electric motors, revs past 10,000 rpm, and tops out at 213 mph. The r/supercars thread is blunt: 'When the flagship Revuelto exists at $600k, the Temerario's value proposition gets complicated' — and several Lamborghini forum regulars noted this is what happens when you price a V8 between a GT3 RS and a Revuelto.
The Lamborghini Temerario is the Italian brand's newest model — a 907 hp, 10,000-rpm-capable twin-turbocharged V8 hybrid hypercar with three electric motors and an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission adapted from the Revuelto. It is the first Lamborghini to safely rev past 10,000 rpm and achieves a 213 mph top speed. At $382,000 base, it sits in an awkward position: it is a significant car by any objective measure, but it competes internally with the V12 Revuelto at around $600,000, and externally with a 992 GT3 RS, McLaren 750S, and Ferrari 296 GTB all jostling for the same buyer profile. The under-MSRP situation in Beverly Hills — and 114-mile used examples already available — suggests the initial allocation wave has moved faster than demand in some markets. Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann recently described electric cars as 'an expensive hobby,' but the Temerario's market signal is a different kind of problem: a petrol-hybrid hypercar at a price point where the competition is ferociously strong. Worth watching as Goodwood FoS in July is expected to bring a new Lamborghini derivative — possibly a Revuelto Roadster — which will likely clarify the brand's model hierarchy more sharply.
