Morgan's Supersport 400 is the brand's first production car with over 400 horsepower, using a BMW-sourced 3.0L inline-six tuned to 402hp. It does 0–60 mph in 3.6 seconds and tops out at 180 mph, with a standard Nitron dampers handling pack and performance tweaks like a sportier exhaust and bespoke trim, all priced above £105,000 while staying true to Morgan's craft and heritage.
Porsche Classic’s Sonderwunsch program has turned a 2025 911 S/T into a modern tribute to the 1972 Camel GT car, using Phoenix Red with Signal Yellow accents, matching the original’s wheel asymmetry with one-off Manthey Racing GT3 RS aerodisc covers, and adding subtle Camel sponsorship easter eggs inside. Power remains a stout 518-horsepower, naturally aspirated 4.0-liter flat-six with a six-speed manual, though the build is not for sale and is offered as a commission project through Porsche Classic.
Audi marks the end of its five‑cylinder era with the ultra‑limited RS3 Competition — a £92,855 UK hatchback restricted to 750 units (10 for the UK) that keeps the 394bhp five‑cylinder but adds performance-focused tweaks (earlier exhaust valve opening, firewall sound insulation removal) and weight‑saving carbon fibre/ceramic brakes, KW suspension, and bespoke interior/exterior details, making it a potential collector’s item despite only modest power gains.
Audi reveals the RS 5 lineup with a wagon variant for the first time in the US, featuring a 678-horsepower plug-in-hybrid powertrain built from a 2.9-liter twin-turbo V6; with 609 lb-ft of torque and a 0–62 mph time of 3.6 seconds, the RS 5 Avant marks Audi’s return to small RS wagons in America.
Designer Andrea Sassano envisions a modern, SVR-inspired restomod of the Lamborghini Miura, preserving its low wedge profile and rear window louvres while adding a race-minded edge. Dubbed the Miura SVR, the concept is an unofficial homage rather than an official production plan, aligning with past attempts and Lamborghini’s stance on retro redesigns.
