Mat Watson lined up two of Italy’s fiercest plug-in hybrid supercars on the CarWow strip for a straight-line battle that refused to settle quickly. One side brought a lighter, sharper Ferrari. The other brought raw V12 force and four-wheel drive, and the result stayed tight from start to finish.

Mike G of mike.g.concepts has created a digital design that takes the BMW 2002 Turbo and turns it into an electric machine called the i2002 Turbo. This CGI project draws directly from the original car that helped define BMW performance in the 1970s while adding the powertrain of a future M model.
A plain cargo box on four wheels just rolled into the spotlight at IAA Transportation in Hanover, and it has no place for a person to sit. Stellantis Pro One, working with Chinese autonomy specialist UQI Robotics, calls the project BOW. The letters stand for Box On Wheels, and the name is as straightforward as the machine itself.
Chinese manufacturer BYD has rolled out its flagship heavy-duty electric tractor at the IAA Transportation show in Hannover. Called the ETT 44, this 4×2 tractor aims straight at long-haul routes across Europe and arrives with numbers that put it in direct conversation with every other battery-electric semi on the market, including the Tesla Semi.
Ferrari just rolled out the 296 GT Modificata, a track-only machine built for members of its Club Competizioni GT program. It starts from the 296 GT3 Evo race car but ignores every regulation that normally holds those machines in check. Production stays extremely limited, and every buyer gets two years of access to twelve rounds of private track events at circuits around the world.
