Brabus 900 Rocket. €569k. Thirty Units. Done.
Brabus bored out the G63's V8 to 4.4 litres, got 900 hp and 1,250 Nm, and called it a limited edition — because of course they did.
Based on the W465 AMG G63, the Rocket Edition gets a displacement increase to 4,407cc via larger bores, forged pistons and a longer-stroke crank, twin larger turbos, 24-inch Monoblock II wheels and side-exit exhausts. Starting price €569,900 ex-VAT, 30 units split across Signature Black and Stealth Gray. Motor-talk.de crowd is split: half think a 2,640 kg SUV doing 0–100 in 3.7 seconds is the most absurd thing Brabus has ever made, the other half immediately asked for order forms.
The 2026 Brabus 900 Rocket Edition is not a subtly improved G63 — it's essentially a new engine wearing a G-Class suit. Displacement grows from the AMG's stock 4.0 litres to 4,407cc through a full internal rebuild: larger cylinder bores, forged pistons, longer-stroke crankshaft and reinforced bottom end. Two enlarged turbochargers deliver up to 1.4 bar of boost, supported by uprated cooling and a bespoke stainless-steel exhaust with side-exit pipes ahead of the rear wheels. Peak output is 900 hp with a nominal torque of 1,250 Nm — though the drivetrain protection system limits torque to 1,050 Nm in everyday driving. The 0–100 km/h time is 3.7 seconds, with a top speed cap of 240 km/h to keep the 355/25 ZR 24 rear tyres happy. Carbon Aero Blades are integrated into the 24-inch Monoblock II wheels. Inside, the Masterpiece interior features Shell-pattern quilting, carbon paddle shifters with LED rev indicators that change colour with engine speed. The starting price of €569,900 before tax puts the Rocket Edition well clear of the standard Brabus 800, and firmly into hypercar financial territory. All 30 units will find buyers without difficulty.

Pagani Built Another Zonda. Called It Cervino.
One-off Zonda, metallic blue over exposed carbon, V12, because Horacio simply cannot stop — and nobody wants him to.
The Pagani Zonda Cervino is based on the Oliver Evolution Roadster with a two-tone exterior in metallic blue and exposed carbon fibre, blue-and-white leather interior, and the familiar 7.3-litre AMG V12 rated at 750 hp. It joins a growing family of post-series Zonda one-offs that have collectively proven the model's residual commercial and emotional power is essentially infinite. Reddit r/supercars called it 'the car that refuses to die' — unanimous approval, zero complaints.
The Zonda has been officially 'finished' at least three times since its 2011 production-end announcement. The Cervino is the latest in a lineage of post-series one-offs that includes the Zonda HP Barchetta, Zonda Aether, and multiple other bespoke commissions built under Pagani's atelier model. Based on the Oliver Evolution Roadster platform, it gets a two-tone finish of metallic blue over exposed carbon fibre with a matching blue-and-white leather cabin. Power comes from the 7.3-litre Mercedes-AMG V12, producing a reported 750 hp and 575 lb-ft. The Zonda's recipe — carbonfibre tub, pushrod suspension, enormous rear tyres, theatrical interior hardware — remains essentially unchanged from 1999, which is either a design triumph or a testament to how right it was the first time, depending on your position. Pagani builds roughly 40-50 cars per year across Zonda and Utopia nameplates; the Cervino is one of the rarer commissions that gets a proper name rather than an alphanumeric designation. No price has been stated publicly, but post-series named Zondas have traded above €3 million at auction. The Cervino was completed in May 2026 and has not been shown at any public event — it simply appeared on Pagani's channels, as is tradition.

Koenigsegg June 25. New Car. Not an EV.
Something dark and winged is coming from Ängelholm on June 25 — Koenigsegg's teasers show a Jesko-scale wing, a white badge, and absolutely no clues on what it actually is.
Three Instagram teaser videos show a vertically-oriented brake light on a large fixed rear wing, an air inlet, and a glimpse of the greenhouse and front fender — none of it matching anything in the current Gemera/Jesko/CC850 lineup. Debut confirmed for June 25. Reddit r/cars thread is 400 comments deep with badge-reading speculation; the dominant theory is a new track-focused single-seater or a Jesko replacement. CvK has previously said EVs are 'a bit like robots' — so at least we know what it isn't.
Koenigsegg has been in a curious phase of actually delivering its backlog — Gemera production started this year, the CC850 continues in limited numbers, the Jesko Absolut and Jesko Attack are in customers' hands. The June 25 teaser campaign breaks a multi-year reveal drought for the Ängelholm house. What's visible in the videos: a large rear wing with a vertically mounted brake light (suggestive of a Jesko Attack-level downforce philosophy), a distinctive white badge that matches nothing in the existing lineup, an air inlet likely on the bonnet, and a greenhouse profile that is unfamiliar. Christian von Koenigsegg has been clear that the brand's next chapter will not be electric — he's described the emotional and sensory dimension of combustion as something EVs simply cannot replicate, using the analogy of quartz versus mechanical watches. The €3.8m Sadair's Spear (Jesko-based, 1,603 bhp) sold out its 30 units immediately at Goodwood 2025, establishing the price ceiling for whatever comes next. An entirely new model would represent the first clean-sheet Koenigsegg since the Gemera's 2020 reveal. June 25 is thirteen days away.

FoS Goes Stars and Stripes. Hunt vs Lauda Too.
Goodwood 2026 doubles down: 50 American machines in the Cathedral Paddock, the 1976 F1 title fight re-enacted on the Hill, and the all-important car-launch Thursday four weeks away.
The Americana Celebration spans IndyCar, NASCAR, Can-Am and Trans-Am with Dale Earnhardt and Jeff Gordon NASCAR machinery confirmed alongside the Shelby Cobra Daytona and McLaren M8F. Al Unser Jr, Dario Franchitti, Travis Pastrana and Aaron Shelby among the confirmed names. Separate from the American theme, the 50th anniversary of the Hunt/Lauda 1976 F1 season brings Hesketh 308s and McLaren M26s to the Hill. Classic Car Clubs UK preview notes that manufacturer reveal announcements typically drop mid-to-late June — so the next two weeks matter.
This slot drills into the American content that gives the 2026 FoS its unusual cross-cultural texture. The 250th anniversary of US independence falls days before the event, and Goodwood is leaning into it hard: up to 50 cars and bikes from IndyCar, NASCAR, Can-Am, Trans-Am, IMSA and F1 will occupy the Cathedral Paddock. The 1966 Le Mans 1-2-3 Ford GT MkII reunion is the anchor of the American strand — all three cars are confirmed to run the Hill, the first time in a decade they've been together. The Hunt/Lauda strand is equally well-served: the 50th anniversary of 1976 F1 brings both title-fight cars (Hesketh 308 for Hunt, Ferrari 312T2 for Lauda) plus a grid of contemporary rivals. Surviving drivers from both camps are expected. The full hill running order, as always at Goodwood, will not be published until late June — but Lamborghini has publicly committed to multiple new model reveals at both Goodwood and Monterey this year, making the July 9 Thursday reveal day one of the summer's genuinely unmissable sessions. Thursday is the last day with available public tickets; Friday and Saturday are gone.
