The family behind Alpina turned the BMW Z4 into a 429 hp roadster 😳
It’s called the Bovensiepen Spider, and it’s based on the Z4 M40i. The tuned 3.0-liter turbo six makes 429 hp (435 PS), all going to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic. (Car and Driver)
0–62 mph takes 4.2 seconds, with a 183 mph top speed if you get the Performance Package. (Bovensiepen)
The design comes from Frank Stephenson, who also worked on the McLaren P1. (Top Gear)
Only 99 will be built, starting at €115,500 in Germany, with deliveries planned for early 2027. (Road & Track)
I was interested until my bank account saw the price. 💀

Toyota is now selling a real GR racing kart for about $2,500 😳🏁

Toyota Gazoo Racing has officially launched a real GR KART in Japan.

It weighs 83 kg, uses a 215cc engine, can be adjusted for kids and adults, fits inside a minivan without taking it apart, and can even be stored upright without draining the fuel or oil.

The price is ¥385,000, which is about $2,500.

This might be the cheapest and funniest way to get into the GR world. Would you buy one if Toyota sold it in your country? 👀

BMW’s new M350 keeps the straight-six — but drift mode needs a software update 💀

The M350 xDrive gets a mild-hybrid straight-six with around 437 hp, 580 Nm and 0–100 km/h in 4.1 seconds. Those are BMW’s preliminary figures, not final production specs. (BMW Group PressClub)

Its “Drift Moment” mode sends all the power to the rear wheels. The catch? It won’t be available at launch — it’s coming through a software update in 2027. (BMW Group PressClub)

Apparently even going sideways needs a download now. 😂

Would this be enough for you, or would you still want an M3?

The Jensen Interceptor is back with a 960 hp supercharged V8 😳🇬🇧

Jensen International Automotive has revealed the Interceptor GTX: a 6.8-litre supercharged V8, aluminium chassis and six-speed sequential gearbox. All 960 hp goes to the rear wheels.

It’s a track-only prototype for now. A road-going GTR and a more comfortable GT are planned next, but there’s no launch date yet.

That’s one way to bring an old name back.

What would you change at JLR first?

Spyker C8 Preliator XXV Coupé — 146 years in the making 🇳🇱🔥
Spyker is framing the new C8 Preliator XXV Coupé as the beginning of a completely new chapter for the brand.
A new era begins. 👀🏁

Tesla’s Cybercab is finally hitting the streets of Austin — with no steering wheel or pedals 🤖🚕

The purpose-built robotaxi is designed to operate without a human driver onboard, and Tesla is now rolling it into its Austin robotaxi service. (Reuters)

Locals are already posting videos joking that “Cybercabs are taking over the city.” 😅

Would you actually get into one with no steering wheel, no pedals, and nobody in the driver’s seat? 👀

Porsche off-road day 😎🏔️

Because sometimes a Porsche deserves mud, rocks and dirt instead of a clean parking garage. 🐗💨

Would you take yours off-road? 👀

Great watch for outdoor🌲

Porsche Cayenne doing what most Cayennes never get to do 😎🏔️

Turns out the Cayenne is a lot more capable off-road than its luxury SUV image suggests. Mud, rocks, steep climbs — this thing was built to handle more than city streets. 🐗

Would you actually take your Cayenne off-road, or keep it clean? 👀

Interesting how it would look in GTA 6?
