Fastest road bikes made, the podium is electric

Automobili Pininfarina honours a motoring icon with an exclusive new limited edition version of its award-winning electric hyper GT, the Battista Edizione Nino Farina.

The design edition will make its track debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, where it will be driven on the famous hillclimb by former Formula 1 star and hillclimb record holder Nick Heidfeld. 

Like the Battista and Battista Anniversary, the Nino Farina Edition is powered by a futuristic engine with record-breaking performance. The world's first all-electric hyper GT uses a high-capacity 120 kWh lithium-ion battery enclosed in a robust and lightweight carbon-fibre housing.

Hennessey Performance turns the Ford Mustang into a power monster with over 800 hp. This American tuning expert has launched an ambitious tuning programme for the Dark Horse version of the seventh-generation Mustang, not yet available in Europe. 

Unveiling a completely revamped exterior look, red and white detailing, front splitter, rear spoiler and carbon fibre side skirts, Hennessey promises to surprise. 

A car with over half a century of history is thus about to get even wilder.

Ferrari LaFerrari was unveiled at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It was one of the first production models from the "Cavallino Rampante" to incorporate the HY-KERS system, which allows energy to be recovered during braking and cornering to be used for more engine power, bringing the technology developed by the Maranello company in Formula 1 to a road car.

The car is fitted with a mid-mounted, naturally aspirated 6262 cm³ V12 engine delivering 800 hp at 9250 rpm.

In addition, the HY-KERS energy recovery system, with the additional 163 hp developed by the associated electric power unit, brings the total output to 963 hp.

Renault's new Arkana combines unique design, strength and elegance. With the 'Nouvel'R' logo, innovative geometric shapes and a colour palette that differentiates the vehicle versions, it promises a quantum leap in the French manufacturer's line-up. 

The high-end Esprit Alpine trim reflects a sporty-chic spirit with distinctive details and refined seating. The vehicle is equipped with a mechanical cable-free e-shifter, regardless of the chosen engine. 

The offer is enhanced with the Renault EASY LINK multimedia system. Orders will open in summer 2023.

Lamborghini is a brand that embodies perfection and excellence in the automotive industry. Since its foundation in 1963, the Italian car manufacturer has churned out countless iconic models that have left their mark on supercar history. 

Among these are the special editions, true gems of design and mechanics. 

In this article, we will take you on a tour of the five most beautiful Lamborghini Special Editions that have won the hearts of enthusiasts around the world.

The Isdera Commendatore 112i was a sports car produced by the German car manufacturer Isdera in 1993 only.

Berhard Schultz spent approximately four million Euro in the development of the car. It was presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show in 1993.

The Commendatore was equipped with a 6-litre Mercedes-Benz V12 engine capable of delivering a maximum output of 402 hp and a top speed of 341 km/h.

The car was supported by a tubular chassis and was equipped with 6 gears and sprinted from 0-100 km/h in about 4 seconds.

Presented at the 1968 Geneva Motor Show, the Lamborghini Islero GT was a classic 2+2 three-box coupé with taut, clean lines, based on the mechanicals of the 400 GT, without any major modifications.

Its extreme stylistic simplicity and the simultaneous presence on the Lamborghini stand of the much more personal Espada, contributed to the Lamborghini Islero going almost unnoticed, and it did not arouse much enthusiasm.

The new 'bull' coupé was nevertheless comfortable, quiet and brilliant (thanks to 320 hp from the 4-litre V12), so much so that Ferruccio Lamborghini chose it as his personal car.

The Schuppan Porsche 962 CR is a supercar that was produced in a limited edition in the 1990s, based on the famous Porsche 962, a racing car that dominated endurance competition for many years.

The 962 CR featured an aerodynamic design, developed by the British designer Peter Stevens , which had also worked on the McLaren F1.

The car was built around a carbon fiber monocoque chassis, with a body also made of carbon fiber to reduce weight. The engine was a 3.3-liter twin-turbocharged six-cylinder capable of developing 600 hp at 7,000 rpm.

The Toyota RV-2 was a revolutionary motorhome concept car presented in 1972. This unique vehicle, designed to meet the needs of leisure and outdoor enthusiasts, attracted the public's attention with its futuristic structure and innovative features.

The Toyota RV-2 had a folding extension system that allowed the vehicle's interior to be enlarged, providing sleeping and leisure space.

The Toyota RV-2 was designed for outdoor enthusiasts and those who loved to travel.

The Marussia B1 is one of the most powerful and iconic sports cars of all time. With a 3.5-litre V6 engine producing 300 horsepower, it is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.8 seconds, a true piece of automotive engineering of the highest quality. 

This car impresses the eye with its sleek lines and aerodynamic design for exceptional performance. 

The interior is equally refined, with first-class design details and high-quality materials. The Marussia B1 offers a compelling drive and first-class performance that establishes it as one of the most desired products in the luxury car market. If you are looking for a sports car that impresses on every front, the Marussia B1 is definitely the one for you.

The Range Rover Evoque comes to model year 2024 with a number of important updates in terms of both aesthetics and technology. The British SUV presents itself to the public with a refined and minimalist design, characterised by details that enhance its exclusivity. 

The interior, on the other hand, is more modern and digital, thanks to the large 11.4" curved display, which controls all the car's functions. Unique finishes and customisation options are also available, such as the wool-blend Kvadrat fabric combined with perforated Ultrafabrics with polyurethane fabric inserts and the three variants of the dashboard finish. 

Under the bonnet, the Evoque offers a wide range of electrified petrol and diesel powertrains, with the P300 AWD 1.5 turbocharged plug-in hybrid at the top of the range with 309 hp and 540 Nm, capable of travelling up to 62 km on battery power alone.
