Fabrizio Giugiaro and GFG Style built the Peralta D as a one-off 2+2 grand tourer for Mexican collector Carlos Peralta. The car follows the earlier Peralta S, which used an aluminum body on a mid-engine Maserati MC20 and was dedicated to Peralta’s sons. This new version carries the letter D for his daughters and also for the Italian word donne.
Porsche chose a pier in Queens for the world premiere of its Mission S vision model yesterday, a spot that once framed the earliest photographs of the 550 Spyder back in 1953. That deliberate return to a mid-engine layout sets the tone for a new super sports car platform that will sit permanently above the 911 rather than appear as a limited-run hypercar. Dr. Michael Leiters, chairman of the executive board, described it as a permanent and versatile addition to the customer offering, one that gives a clear view of design features meant to shape the brand in the years ahead.
Alfa Romeo’s Bottegafuoriserie division finished a single 33 Stradale for a collector who wanted the car finished in bare carbon and little else. He named it Perla Nera, Italian for black pearl, and stayed involved through the build. Cristiano Fiorio, who runs the division for both Alfa Romeo and Maserati, said every detail was worked out with the owner. The car sits on chassis 03 of the 33-car run and will stay at the Museo Alfa Romeo in Arese until October 18 before it leaves for delivery.
Four decades after Walter Röhrl and Markku Alén drove Lancia’s Rally 037 to the 1983 World Rally Championship, a small Italian workshop in Cuneo has given that last rear-drive title winner a second life. Kimera Automobili, run by former rally driver Luca Betti from Villa Kimera about 100 kilometers south of Turin, limited the EVO37 to 37 cars. Number 018 now sits in Broad Arrow’s catalog as lot 158 for the Zoute Concours Auction on Friday, October 9, 2026, at Approach Golf in Knokke-Heist, Belgium.
Genesis brought its Magma GT Concept to life on a 9-kilometer stretch of Italian mountain road last week. The mid-engined grand tourer, first shown as a still object at Le Mans in June, rolled onto the closed Strada Borromea on Mount Mottarone for the Tutto Bene Hillclimb, an invitation-only gathering of 85 cars overlooking Lake Maggiore.
Jensen International Automotive spent years restoring classic Interceptors in Oxfordshire. This week the company showed a completely new car instead. Called the Interceptor GTX, the two-seat coupe is a track-only prototype built to prove an all-new aluminum platform, a Texas-built V8, and the shape of future road cars. Around 80 percent of its exterior is meant to survive when those street versions arrive.
Aston Martin has officially introduced the Valen, a new limited-edition coupe that the company claims is the world’s most powerful front-engine production vehicle. The Valen is based on the current Vanquish chassis and was designed by the Q special vehicles team in collaboration with the Special Vehicle Operations department. It takes the classic long-hood, short-deck layout and makes every essential system work harder. Only 150 will be constructed, with the first vehicles expected to arrive in the second quarter of 2027. The base price is approximately two million dollars before options.
Ken Okuyama, the Japanese designer who shaped the Ferrari Enzo during his years at Pininfarina, brought a new open mid-engine car to the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance on August 16. Named Kode89, it arrived after a quiet run on the Tour d’Elegance a few days earlier, with Okuyama himself at the wheel. The car marks twenty years since he set up his own studio and represents the first time his company has built a complete vehicle around an original chassis rather than adapting platforms from Lotus, Ferrari or Lamborghini.
Gordon Murray Special Vehicles unveiled the S1 at The Quail during Monterey Car Week, and many people believe it’s the most accurate representation of a road-focused supercar since the McLaren F1. They have a point, because the same person, Gordon Murray, created both cars, and the S1 is deeply based in the same idea that made the F1 so popular.
Ferrari rolled a completely unique coupe onto the Monterey Car Week stage this week and called it CZ26. Built through the Special Projects programme for a single American client, the car started life as an SF90 Stradale and left Maranello two years later looking like something else entirely. Flavio Manzoni’s design team treated the SF90’s hard points as a fixed foundation and then drew a new body around them, one that leans hard into the clean geometry of 1970s Italian industrial objects while still delivering the performance numbers the donor car made famous.
