Marc Philip Gemballa’s Marsien GT turns a donor 992 Turbo S into a road-focused homage to the Porsche 959, with bespoke carbon bodywork, central-scoop bonnet, Akrapovic exhaust, and a tuned 830hp twin-turbo flat-six; priced around £1 million (GT conversion €770,000 plus donor car and options), it promises 0–62 mph in 2.4 seconds and a 205 mph top speed as a usable road car rather than a track weapon, with roughly 30 units planned.
Novitec’s tuning package for the Lamborghini Revuelto adds carbon-fiber aero, new 21/22-inch wheels, a larger rear wing, and an upgraded exhaust with options including Inconel, boosting the 6.5L V12 by 33 hp for a total system output of 1,034 hp while keeping the plug-in hybrid trio active. The package emphasizes OEM-like styling, with multiple carbon options and a top-mounted airbox for cooling; exact pricing isn’t disclosed. The look nods to Jamiroquai’s 1996 Cosmic Girl video.
Honda is developing a new hybrid system for the US market that will feature a louder, more appealing exhaust sound, catering to American preferences for louder cars. The new hybrid will sound better than the Prelude and will be implemented in popular models like the Accord, Civic, and CR-V, with potential for sportier trims and future V-6 engines. This move highlights Honda's focus on enhancing the driving experience for American consumers, even as the industry shifts toward electric vehicles.
Forza Motorsport aims to teach players how to tune and modify cars, focusing on car progression and customization. The game introduces progression-gated mods based on a car's level, allowing players to gradually unlock and experiment with different modifications. It also features track section ratings to help players improve their driving skills. While these features are beneficial for beginners, they can be frustrating for experienced players who prefer more freedom and customization options from the start. Despite its great physics engine and beautiful graphics, Forza Motorsport's gated progression system limits the gameplay experience for some players.
