I don't spare much thought for modern #supercars, generally. Some are beautiful, sure, but most won't live long in my memory. This, on the other hand... #cars

The McLaren F1's true successor is here, and you can't have it. (I mean, unless the one buyer is also a Righto Turbo reader...)

Shelby American has rightly decided there’s enough room for another monster Mustang, this time based on the Dark Horse. Fkn LISTEN to it!
Video: Shelby's Super Snake-R Mustang wants your Porsche money
Another wild creation from Shelby, but is it worth the coin?

I do like 'good news' stories like this. Anything to help folks overcome range anxiety, even if it's set through fairly unrealistic methods, is worthy of a few lines I reckon.
Polestar 3 hits nearly 1000km to set Guinness record
It must've stung just a little to come so close to four digits, but I doubt anybody on the team is wasting time on tears.

There are no shortage of EV startups getting around, but I've now got a few new reasons to wish for British outfit Longbow's success. Let's go! There's a couple of good videos in this post too.
Longbow draws a dream team for its lightweight EV sports car
Bloody hell I hope this all comes together as planned.

I'm in love with this Vanquish reimagined as a shooting brake by the car's original designer, Ian Callum. Anybody got a spare mill-or-so?
Callum's got a 2001 Vanquish Shooting Brake to sell you
If you loved the 'Jet 2' concept Bertone unveiled way back in 2004, and you happen to have squillions, this is the custom build for you.

Jaguar has almost always been a bit of a stupid brand if you look closely enough at its history, but damn this is all pretty next-level.
It’s a peculiar situation for a car company to be in, having no cars to sell. Like a pub with no beer... and now they're looking to yet another accountant to see it through a design-led revolution. oof.
JLR gets another bean-countin' boss while its lines sit idle
Its future hangs on a single high-stakes electric model, and now the brand is prioritising the balance sheet when it needs a product visionary more than ever.

Imagine if the road-going version of the A90 Supra looked half as good as this bespoke V8-powered racer built for Australia's Supercars championship!
Australia's track-only 'Gen3' Supra is the A90 we deserved
It's too late for the current generation, but maybe the coming A100 could look this tough...
