Florida’s Doroni Aerospace spent years designing a two-seat electric aircraft that could lift off from a driveway and land back home without needing a runway or a pilot’s license measured in hundreds of hours. On August 5 the Federal Aviation Administration finally gave that vision a real regulatory foundation.
Polaris just handed the high-performance side-by-side world a new leader. The 2027 RZR Pro R Boost arrives with a turbocharged 2.0-liter ProStar Fury engine that produces 275 horsepower at 7,000 rpm and 223 pound-feet of torque at 6,000 rpm. That output makes it the strongest factory side-by-side available, clearing the previous marks set by the Kawasaki Teryx H2 and Can-Am Maverick R.
Stretch a Model Y by seven inches, raise the roof a couple more, and suddenly the familiar shape starts looking like a proper station wagon that forgot how to be boring. Early drives around Los Angeles and the hills above it show Tesla finally giving the people who need six seats a machine that does not feel like a compromise.
Hennessey Special Vehicles revealed its third hypercar on August 3, 2026, and the company chose a path few others are taking. Named Blackbird after the Lockheed SR-71 spy plane, the new car from Sealy, Texas, pairs an all-new naturally aspirated V8 with a gated six-speed manual transmission and zero digital screens in the cabin. Base price sits at $2.5 million before taxes and options. Only 71 will be built, with more than two-thirds already spoken for ahead of the public debut at The Quail during Monterey Car Week. Customer deliveries are targeted for 2029 and 2030.
