Iconic ONES - In the world of classic cars, where elegance and craftsmanship meet, there’s always room for a true work of art that stands apart from the rest. One such masterpiece is the 1954 Ferrari 375 MM Ghia Coupé, a car that defies expectations and offers a fresh take on what a Ferrari could be. While Ferrari is typically associated with sleek, powerful designs and the iconic Pininfarina, this particular model found itself in the hands of Carrozzeria Ghia, bringing a unique flair that has captivated enthusiasts for decades.

Ghia, known more for its work with brands like Ford and Alfa Romeo, rarely applied its bold touch to Ferrari. This alone makes the 375 MM Ghia Coupé a remarkable standout in Ferrari's rich history. Commissioned for Robert Wilke, a wealthy client from Milwaukee, this car was designed by the talented Giovanni Michelotti, whose artistic vision brought something truly unexpected to life. Its combination of elegance and playfulness is unlike anything typically seen in a Ferrari of this era.

The 375 MM Ghia Coupé exudes a sense of charm that feels more like a luxurious fashion statement than a performance machine. With its chrome-trimmed two-tone paint job, blending salmon and gunmetal grey, it stands out with a distinctive color palette that seems more fitting for American muscle cars than the traditionally reserved Ferrari. The striking design catches the eye immediately, and it only gets better the closer you look. Small details, like the carefully crafted character line trailing from the door, give the car a refined yet adventurous personality that truly sets it apart.

Anglo Muscle - When we think of iconic symbols of American culture, a few things come to mind—baseball under the summer sun, the sound of bald eagles echoing through national parks, and, of course, the unmistakable roar of a Chevrolet Corvette tearing down an open highway. The Corvette, long hailed as America’s definitive sports car, has always reflected the boldness and freedom associated with its homeland. But imagine if this symbol of American engineering had been conceived not in Detroit, but across the Atlantic in the heart of England. What would a British-born Corvette look like?

General Motors has recently opened the doors to a new advanced design studio in Royal Leamington Spa, just outside Birmingham, England. As part of this new chapter, GM unveiled a unique concept: a British reinterpretation of the Corvette. Designed by a local team with a pedigree in creating some of the most beloved European sports cars, this new vision blends traditional Corvette DNA with distinctly British finesse. The studio is led by Julian Thomson, a legendary designer known for his work on the original Lotus Elise, the Land Rover LRX concept, and several Jaguar designs such as Jaguar Vision Gran Turismo Coupe. His presence alone promises a fresh take on what performance vehicles can become.
The Brit-designed concept reimagines the Corvette as a fan-assisted electric hypercar, featuring a smooth, sculptural body with a clean white upper and bold black lower section that emphasizes aerodynamic efficiency shaped by elegance over aggression. (Picture from: TheVerge)
This futuristic concept doesn’t shy away from Corvette’s recognizable features—it still boasts a mid-engine layout and maintains the performance-oriented silhouette we’ve come to associate with the model. Yet, the design takes a dramatic turn toward sophistication and refinement. The concept features a smooth, sculptural body with a clean white upper section and a bold black lower portion, suggesting an aerodynamic sensibility shaped more by elegance than aggression. Instead of using oversized wings for downforce, this version cleverly channels air through underbody tunnels, reminiscent of the Aston Martin Valkyrie hypercar. The result? Sleek performance without the flash.
At first glance, it may not resemble a traditional Corvette, but details like the split window—named Apex Vision—serve as a nod to the 1960s Stingray and form a defining spine for the entire car. (Picture from: CarAndDriver)
The attention to detail extends further. Distinctive split windshields at both the front and rear harken back to Corvette’s storied past while reimagining its future. Dramatic gullwing doors add flair and function, offering a cinematic entrance into a minimalist cabin. Inside, molded seats flow seamlessly from the car’s structure, and a futuristic yoke-style steering wheel anchors the driver’s seat in modernity. Even the car’s creation was ahead of its time—fabricated using additive manufacturing, or 3-D printing, to craft complex forms and fine details.
While the Corvette concept was shaped using a blend of digital tools and clay modeling, the vision is for the car to be built through 3D printing, also known as additive manufacturing. (Picture from: CarAndDriver)
Powertrain details remain under wraps, but GM has hinted at an all-electric architecture, with the battery system integrated directly into the vehicle’s core structure. This aligns with the company’s broader vision for the Corvette brand, which will see global influence and innovation shape future iterations.

At 183.8 inches long, this concept mirrors the current C8 Corvette’s size but presents a broader and lower stance, reinforcing its presence. And while GM states there are no immediate plans for production, this design exercise signals a deeper exploration into what the Corvette can become as it begins a new journey outside its homeland. The British studio will also contribute to a range of other upcoming concepts, including a new GMC project set to debut later this year, further showcasing the potential of transatlantic collaboration. | AOSi-J7My1s |
This imaginative take on the Corvette invites us to see beyond borders and legacy. It offers a glimpse into a world where tradition meets transformation—a world where the American dream of speed and style finds a new accent and an even bolder future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | NEWS.GM | CARANDDRIVER | AUTOCAR.CO.UK | THEVERGE | PISTONHEADS | TOPGEAR | CARMAGAZINE ]

From its legendary victory at Le Mans in 1995 to its involvement in some of the most ambitious supercar projects in history, the company has continuously set new standards in performance and innovation. Now, as it steps into a new era,Lanzante is ready to make history once again with Project 95-59—a supercar that not only honors its past but also marks a bold move toward the future.
The teaser image of the Lanzante Project 95-59 was designed by Paul Howse, the exterior designer of the McLaren P1. (Picture from: Autocar)
Designed to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Lanzante’s triumph at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Project 95-59 is more than just a car; it’s a statement. Its name is a direct nod to that historic moment, referencing the year of victory (1995) and the number 59 worn bythe McLaren F1 GTR that secured Lanzante’s place in motorsport history. This upcoming machine is set to be a limited-run masterpiece, built upon an existing McLaren platform but significantly enhanced to create something entirely new and exhilarating.

The question of which McLaren platform will serve as the foundation for Project 95-59 remains intriguing. Some speculate it will be derived from the 750S, modified extensively to accommodate an F1-style cockpit. Others believe it might take inspiration from the McLaren Speedtail, a three-seater hypercar whose hybrid powertrain produces a staggering 1055bhp. With its combination of a 747bhp twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 and a 309bhp electric motor, the Speedtail already boasts a remarkable power-to-weight ratio—one that aligns closely with the 700bhp per tonne target set forProject 95-59.

What makes Project 95-59 truly significant is its place in Lanzante’s evolution. While the company has built a reputation through its work on legendary McLarens and the Porsche 911 TAG Turbo, this will be its first model to carry its own brand identity. It represents a defining moment for Lanzante and its founder, Dean Lanzante, who has long wanted to establish the company as more than just a specialist tuning house. His vision is clear: to lead rather than follow, to create something groundbreaking rather than simply refining what already exists.

Anticipated Brilliance - In the world of high-performance automotive engineering, innovation never sleeps. Each passing year brings new benchmarks, redefining what’s possible on both track and road. Among the elite brands constantly pushing these limits, Ferrari remains a symbol of relentless ambition and passion. This year, that passion takes the shape of something fiercely anticipated—an evolved beast that builds on brilliance. Meet the Ferrari 296 VS (Versione Speciale), a machine designed not just to thrill, but to honor a rich legacy of motorsport-inspired performance.
The Ferrari 296 VS will take cues from the new F80 and stands as the most ferocious V6 ever built, marking the pinnacle of the 296 lineup. (Picture from: F1Motors)
The Ferrari 296 GTB, already a revolution in its own right, broke away from tradition by introducing a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine coupled with a plug-in hybrid system. With 819 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque, it shifted perceptions, offering electrified performance that rivaled the mightiest V8 and V12 supercars. But for Ferrari, evolution never ends at the GTB. This April, the Prancing Horse is unleashing something even sharper: the 296 VS.
For Ferrari, evolution doesn’t stop at the 296 GTB—as pictured here in the Assetto Fiorano Hungaroring variant—and this April, the Prancing Horse is set to unveil the even sharper 296 VS. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
For years, Ferrari fans and collectors have speculated about a more track-focused version of the 296. Whispers filled forums, and excitement built quietly—until now. The 296 VS is no longer a rumor. It’s a real and roaring successor to Ferrari's celebrated lineage of lightweight, driver-centric masterpieces such as the 360 Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale, and 488 Pista. The unveiling is set for April 29th, and the anticipation couldn’t be higher.
The Ferrari 296 VS is reportedly more ferocious than its predecessor, the 296 GTB (as pictured), which is powered by a hybrid drivetrain combining a 2,992cc turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
Borrowing design cues from Ferrari’s cutting-edge F80 hypercar, the 296 VS is rumored to embrace aggressive aerodynamics, including a fully enclosed engine bay and twin active flaps on the rear decklid. It could receive the same wheels as the F80 and much like the 12Cilindri, may these flaps reminiscent of the Pagani Huayra's active aero system, aim to improve braking and deliver greater downforce, making the rear axle more planted during high-speed maneuvers. This design evolution makes it not only look faster but also function with a purpose that honors Ferrari’s racing DNA.

Performance enhancements don’t stop with bodywork. The 296 VS is expected to receive a newly tuned exhaust system, a more prominent rear diffuser, and crucial weight reductions that strip it down to its raw, exhilarating essence. Though official figures haven’t surfaced, insiders suggest that its power output may close the gap with Lamborghini’s monstrous 907-hp Temerario. One thing’s for sure—it will be faster, meaner, and more engaging than the standard GTB.

Beyond the core model, Ferrari plans to release a special limited-edition Piloti version of the 296 VS. This variant, dressed in the livery of Ferrari’s GT3 or Le Mans race cars, could make a grand entrance at the 24 Hours of Le Mans this June. With exclusivity almost guaranteed, this edition will be one for the collectors—celebrating not only Ferrari’s heritage but its continuing dominance on the racetrack.

Ferrari has yet to reveal details on production numbers or pricing. However, Versione Speciale models are typically produced in limited quantities and command a premium over their standard counterparts. With its expected rarity, performance upgrades, and undeniable prestige, the 296 VS is poised to become an instant icon in Ferrari’s modern lineup—joining the ranks of the recently introduced 12Cilindri. | vlzPSx-Cgvw |
As the countdown to April 29th draws closer, Ferrari enthusiasts find themselves on the edge of their seats. The arrival of the 296 VS isn’t just about power or speed—it's about capturing the essence of Ferrari’s spirit in a form that both looks forward and nods respectfully to the past. For those lucky enough to get behind the wheel, this is more than just a drive. It’s an experience sculpted by legacy and fired up for the future. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ITALPASSION | F1MOTORS | CARSCOOPS | EVO.CO.UK | SUPERCARBLOG ]

Concept Royalty- When people think of supercars, brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, or McLaren often dominate the conversation. But every now and then, a lesser-known brand steps into the spotlight and leaves a lasting impression. Such is the case with Peugeot—a company more recognized for practical city cars than exotic performance machines. Yet in 2004, this French manufacturer shocked the automotive world with something truly extraordinary: the Peugeot 907 Concept. It wasn't just a car—it was a bold artistic statement, a technical showcase, and a glimpse of what Peugeot could achieve when imagination was given free rein.

The Peugeot 907 made its grand debut at the 2004 Paris Motor Show, introduced alongside two other concept cars: the Quark and the 1007 RC. But it was the 907 that stole the show. Designed by Gérard Welter and Jean Christophe Bolle Reddat, this striking machine marked a symbolic transition for the brand. It celebrated the opening of Peugeot’s new design center in Vélizy while honoring the closure of their long-standing studio in La Garenne after 40 years. It wasn’t meant to hit production lines—it was a rolling tribute to design, engineering, and innovation.

At first glance, the 907 drew instant comparisons to Italian grand tourers like the Ferrari 575M Maranello. Both featured a dramatic long-nosed silhouette, exuding elegance and power. But the 907 had its own identity. Gérard Welter managed to sculpt a body that blended sleek curves with assertive presence, delivering the kind of visual drama usually reserved for British or Italian luxury coupes. Instead of a metal roof, a sweeping glass canopy curved over the cockpit, flowing seamlessly into the rear. Glass was also used generously on the bootlid and even the hood—where a transparent section revealed the glorious intake trumpets of the engine beneath.

Speaking of the engine, it wasn’t just for show. The 907 was built to move, and move fast. Under its carbon-fiber skin lay a beast: a V12 engine formed by merging two 3.0-liter V6 blocks, delivering a combined 507 horsepower. Mounted just behind the front axle, the engine’s placement allowed for a more balanced weight distribution and gave room for aggressive side exhausts that exited just behind the front wheels—a feature reminiscent of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Despite its size and luxury, the car weighed only 3,086 lbs thanks to its carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. This gave it a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 347 hp per tonne, making it more than capable of keeping pace with some of the best in its class.

The interior was a masterclass in restrained luxury. A minimalist blend of leather, aluminum, Alcantara, and wood created a cabin that was both futuristic and warmly tactile. As an added touch of grandeur, a set of bespoke luggage matched the car’s opulent feel—because of course, a machine this special deserved nothing less than fully tailored accessories.

Despite all this brilliance, the 907 was never meant for mass production. It wasn’t a car for the road, but a celebration of what Peugeot’s design team could achieve when limitations were removed. Still, unlike many concepts that are static displays, the 907 was fully drivable. It featured a four-wheel control arm suspension and a sequential transmission sending all that V12 muscle to the rear wheels. Every element, from the engineering to the aesthetics, served one goal: to showcase the depth of Peugeot's design capabilities.
Though it never made it past the concept stage, the Peugeot 907 remains one of the most captivating concept cars ever created. It proved that even manufacturers known for everyday vehicles could break out of the mold and craft something truly unforgettable. The 907 wasn't just a car—it was Peugeot daring the world to dream a little bigger. *** [EKA [25092021] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FLEETNEWS | WIKIPEDIA | SUPERCARS | DRIVETRIBE | FLEETNEWS | CARBUZZ ]
