McMurtry Automotive has begun building customer cars based on the Spéirling PURE, the single-seat electric track machine that uses a massive rear fan to create enormous downforce from a complete standstill. Twenty five examples have already sold. Production stays capped at 99 units total. First deliveries start later this year from the company’s new hand-built facility in England’s Cotswolds.
Ford designers marked the Bronco’s 60th anniversary by building a one-off concept that deliberately strips a modern two-door model back to its roots. They drew direct inspiration from a specific 1966 U13 Roadster owned by a friend of chief designer Robert Gilardi. That original served as both reference and reminder of what the Bronco represented at launch: an open, simple machine built for go-anywhere enjoyment rather than heavy equipment lists.
Along a bend in the road at Buttsbury Wash near Billericay in Essex sits a stretch of water that regularly catches drivers off guard. On a recent day the silver Vantage, fresh from the factory and valued around £165,000, approached it with the same confidence plenty of other cars had shown moments earlier. Larger vehicles and even some smaller ones had crossed without drama. The low-slung sports car rolled in, water climbing the sides, and kept going until roughly two-thirds of the way across the ford.
Passion Yachts set out to build something that feels like a proper house yet moves when its owners want a change of scenery. The Hausyacht 14 M delivers exactly that on a 14.3-meter steel hull. It slips through European canals and protected waters with ease while giving residents the kind of daily comfort most land homes only promise.
Michael Jordan took delivery of this Ferrari on May 29, 1997, through a North Carolina dealer while he played for the Chicago Bulls. The timing lined up with another deep playoff run that would end with his fifth NBA championship. He drove the car to the United Center for Game 6 of the 1997 Finals, not long after the famous Flu Game performance.
