Aston Martin's Vantage RS Unleashes Wild Aero Near Nürburgring

A heavily camouflaged prototype of the Vantage RS is being tested near the Nürburgring with production-ready aero, including a taller rear wing, a new front end, larger side vents, a wild diffuser and four centrally mounted tailpipes; Aston Martin is expected to tune the 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 for this track-focused variant to beyond 700 hp (with a V12 option considered but unlikely), and cabin tweaks such as heavier carbon fiber and Alcantara usage are anticipated.

AMG CLE Mythos aims for extreme V8 power and track readiness

Mercedes‑AMG is preparing a hardcore CLE Coupé, the second model in the Mythos line, with a new twin‑turbo 4.0‑litre V8 featuring a flat‑plane crank that’s expected to push output beyond 650bhp and torque over 590 lb‑ft, enabling sub‑4.0sec 0–62mph and a top speed near 186mph. The car will sit on heavily revised underpinnings with a widened front track, lower ride height, carbon-fibre roof and a prominent rear wing, and will be produced in a limited run of around 250 units. It’s due to arrive for deliveries in 2027 after winter testing in Sweden and a later official unveiling this year, with the same engine also powering the updated S‑Class slated for reveal soon.

Despite its impressive handling, tech, and interior quality, its limited space and high price point are notable drawbacks, making it a cherished but ultimately short-lived flagship for Lexus's performance lineup.
