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.

London digital artist Al Yasid, who goes by al.yasid online and treats his work like a full design studio, decided the Toyota GR86 needed more bite. He started with a simple equation. Take the GR86, add the legendary Porsche 935, and the numbers land on 1,021. That bit of playful arithmetic produced a widebody CGI concept he calls the GRRR 1021.

A 2010 Nissan GT-R sits in the Netherlands looking nothing like the track-focused machine most people know. Classic Youngtimers Consultancy raised the whole car by 120 millimeters, bolted on wide riveted fender flares, wrapped the factory 20-inch wheels in chunky all-terrain rubber, and strapped a full-size spare tire to a roof rack that also carries a long LED light bar. Oversized auxiliary lamps sit up front while the original rear wing stays right where Nissan left it. The result is a white two-door coupe that looks ready to leave pavement behind without losing the presence that made the GT-R famous.
