Ferrari’s SP series, once a pioneering force in automotive innovation with its mid-engine race cars, has changed into a prestigious collection of ultra-exclusive road cars that contain the brand’s rich racing heritage. Models like the Monza SP1 and Daytona SP3, contemporary reimaginings of legendary racecars, have become icons of automotive design and performance.

The small British brand would likely have to make a Garage 56 entry into Le Mans. With a screaming V12, the T.50 would be one of the best-sounding cars at the endurance race. The director of brand and product at Gordon Murray Automotive, Dario Franchitti, says he would love for the T.50 hypercar to race at Le Mans, but getting it to comply with regulations wouldn’t be easy.

It's one of only two production models ever made. A remarkable piece of automotive history is set to take the spotlight at the Monterey 2024 auction: the 1992 Schuppan-Porsche 962CR.

The Ford Mustang needs no introduction, and in 2024, it is somewhat in a class of its own. It returned for 2024 with its V8 engine intact and even better than before, refusing to follow the Chevy Camaro and Dodge Challenger to the grave. Ford already gave us the Shelby Mustang GT500, it unveiled the GT3 race car and even gave the world the Mustang Dark Horse.

It's been two and a half years since Toyota took the Tokyo Auto Salon by storm with its hugely promising GR GT3 Concept. As a refresher, that car will evolve into a successor to the Lexus RC F GT3 scheduled to go racing in 2026.

With the imminent departure of the iconic Porsche 718 from the internal combustion engine stage, there's soon going to be a void in the enthusiast's segment, seeking a mid-engined, six-cylinder sports car and there's nothing to fill that void, except there is in the form of a fresh Lotus. The Porsche 718 Cayman GTS, with its perfect blend of performance, agility, and everyday usability, has long been a favorite among driving purists. But as the 718's curtain call approaches, the Lotus Emira V6 emerges as a compelling alternative, promising a unique driving experience and a touch of British flair, and many Porsche fans on the forum agree with this statement.

Toyota's GR GT3 Concept, first shown at the Tokyo Auto Salon over two years ago, is progressing towards a street-legal version. The street model is expected to carry the Lexus badge and is rumored to be named "LFR". It will not serve as a direct successor to the LFA but rather as a follow-up to the RC F. The car is expected to be powered by a V8 engine, possibly with twin turbochargers, though official specifications have not been confirmed. Based on Toyota's GR GT3, the race car will make use of a twin-turbo V8.
