Lewis Hamilton has spent years chasing the Ferrari F40. As a child he kept a model of one. When he joined the Scuderia he made sure an F40 appeared in his first official shoot at Maranello. Last year he sold most of his personal collection and said only one car could pull him back into ownership. He found that car sitting under a cover in a private garage, exactly as its first owner had left it in 1991.
European buyers are getting a low-slung four-door electric grand tourer that stays remarkably faithful to the 2020 Precept concept. Polestar shaped the production car around a bonded aluminum structure developed specifically for this model, giving it the torsional stiffness more often associated with lightweight sports cars while keeping overall mass in check for a vehicle of its size.
A boxy green shell that once belonged to a Land Rover Series III now sits so close to the ground that speed bumps become serious obstacles. This is the Slamd Rover, a one-off custom currently listed on eBay for £15,000, or roughly $20,000. The body looks familiar enough from a distance. Everything underneath tells a different story.
Venuum has finished its first full conversion of a Lamborghini Revuelto, and the result sits lower and wider than the factory car while still respecting the original shape. Called the Voltoro V1, the project takes its name from the Italian word “voltare,” which means to turn or rotate. The shop’s stated aim was simple: make the car wider, lower, and more precise without breaking the discipline of Lamborghini’s lines. The finished example now rolling in Dubai shows they largely succeeded.

A digital design exercise called the Estocada takes the sharp lines of Lamborghini’s past four-door experiments and stretches them into wagon form. The project draws directly from the 1968 Espada, the long low grand tourer that once carried four people in relative comfort, and the 2008 Estoque concept, the sleek sedan that never reached production. The result is a rendering that asks what a modern Lamborghini shooting brake might look like if the company ever decided to build one.
