Ferrari's Latest Specials: The CZ26 One-Off and the Track-Only 296 GT Modificata

Ferrari has added two special models to its 2026 line-up: the one-off CZ26 shown at Monterey Car Week in August, and the track-only 296 GT Modificata revealed in September.

The CZ26

Ferrari unveiled the CZ26 on August 13 at The Quail as a one-off supercar created through its Special Projects programme for a customer in the United States. CarBuzz reports that it is based on the SF90 Stradale and joins the HC25, which was revealed in May, as one of two Special Projects Ferraris unveiled this year. The site described the design as a futuristic take on what some had hoped the Ferrari Luce would look like.

The 296 GT Modificata

According to Wikipedia's entry on the 296 family, Ferrari unveiled the 296 GT Modificata in September 2026 as an extreme, track-only special based on the 296 GT3 Evo race car but freed from motorsport regulations. It is said to deliver 730 horsepower.

Looking ahead

A launch calendar notes that Ferrari's first fully electric model, the Luce, was revealed in Rome on May 25, with first European deliveries scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026 and US deliveries in the second quarter of 2027.

The reports reviewed are secondary sources, so readers should consult Ferrari's own press material for confirmed specifications. Both special models are built in tiny numbers for selected clients, so they are unlikely to be seen outside of events and private collections.

Koenigsegg CCGT1 Revives an Unfinished Le Mans Dream as a Limited-Run Hypercar

Koenigsegg has brought a car that never raced into the modern era with the CCGT1, a limited hypercar revealed at The Quail during Monterey Car Week in August, according to CarBuzz and The Supercar Blog.

A tribute to a cancelled project

The Supercar Blog reported that the car is a tribute to the Koenigsegg CCGT Le Mans race car. Koenigsegg had planned to enter the top GT1 class at Le Mans in the 2000s, but by the time a prototype called the CCGT GT1 Competition Coupe was ready, the project was cancelled because of changes to homologation rules. The official teaser for the new car carried the caption 'Unfinished business. A time capsule waiting to be opened.'

Numbers and naming

Before the reveal, sources told The Supercar Blog the car might be called CCGT+ and could be limited to just 30 units. These details were reported as likely rather than confirmed, and the final name used at the reveal was CCGT1. The excerpts reviewed do not provide the car's power output or price.

Why it matters

Koenigsegg's Monterey reveals have become a regular highlight of the show, and CarBuzz called this one of the wildest yet. The car shows how small manufacturers can turn historic racing ideas into very limited road cars for collectors.

Readers should check Koenigsegg's official announcement for technical specifications and production numbers.

Bugatti Destrier One-Off and Tourbillon Deliveries: What Is New at Molsheim

Bugatti has had a busy year, with a new one-off called the Destrier shown at Monterey Car Week and customer deliveries of the Tourbillon expected to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.

The Destrier

Motor1 reported that the Destrier debuted on August 14 at The Quail, A Motorsports Gathering. CarBuzz's coverage described it as a car that turns the Bolide track hypercar into a beautiful road-capable one-off. As a one-off, it was built for a single customer and will not go on general sale. Another outlet reported before the reveal that Bugatti's coachbuilt Solitaire programme was producing a car with a horseshoe grille similar to the Tourbillon, which suggests how design cues are being shared across the range.

Tourbillon deliveries

A launch calendar from Batman Garage says Bugatti has confirmed that Tourbillon customer deliveries begin in the fourth quarter of 2026, with production limited to 250 units and prices starting from roughly 3.8 million euros before options. As the fourth quarter has already started, first deliveries could happen at any time.

Caveats

The reports reviewed do not confirm the Destrier's engine details, and teasers described a design based on different platforms in different outlets, so exact technical details should be checked against Bugatti's own releases. Price and delivery information comes from a third-party calendar rather than a Bugatti statement.

Together, the two stories show Bugatti balancing bespoke one-offs with a limited-run new hypercar.

Lamborghini Revuelto SV Debuts as the Most Powerful Lamborghini, With Fenomeno Due in 2027

Lamborghini has revealed the Revuelto SV, a hardcore Super Veloce version of its plug-in hybrid V12 flagship, at Monterey Car Week 2026. CarBuzz's live coverage described it as having 1,065 horsepower from its hybrid powertrain, and one calendar of upcoming launches calls it the most powerful series-production Lamborghini ever.

What changed

Lamborghini says it retuned the suspension, stability and traction systems, torque vectoring and hybrid power delivery. New bodywork improves both downforce and cooling, and the car carries a large rear wing. The SV badge returns 55 years after the first car to earn the title of supercar evolved into the first Super Veloce.

The Fenomeno ahead

A launch calendar published by Batman Garage lists the limited Lamborghini Fenomeno as arriving in the first quarter of 2027. It reports a price from about 3 million euros before options and taxes, production limited to 29 units and a plug-in hybrid V12 with about 1,080 horsepower. Power figures for the two cars differ slightly between sources, so readers should wait for Lamborghini's official specifications.

Why it matters

The two models show Lamborghini continuing to build hybrid V12 flagships at a time when many rivals are moving to electric or smaller engines. Both cars are aimed at wealthy collectors, and the limited numbers mean most enthusiasts will see them only at events or in photographs.

These reports are summaries of third-party coverage and should be checked against the manufacturer's announcements.

Ford Sets November 26 Reveal Date for Its New Le Mans Hypercar

Ford has confirmed that it will reveal its new Le Mans Hypercar on November 26, The Supercar Blog reported on October 14. The announcement came in a short video from Ford Racing that showed some of the brand's historic Le Mans winners before cutting to the new prototype at Silverstone.

The message

In the video, the new car overtakes its predecessors on track and moves to the front of the group, followed by the words 'The New Era Begins'. The report says Ford clearly wants the car to mark a fresh chapter for its racing programme, which is heading back to the top class of Le Mans racing after months of development work and track testing.

Reported engine details

Technical details have not been officially published, but reports suggest the car will use a heavily reworked 5.4-litre V8 based on Ford's Coyote engine architecture. Some reports claim the engine will rev to around 9,000 rpm. These figures are unconfirmed until Ford releases its own specifications.

Why it matters

The Hypercar class is the top category of the FIA World Endurance Championship and Le Mans, where manufacturers such as Ferrari and Aston Martin already compete. A Ford entry would add another famous name to the grid. The November 26 reveal should show what the car looks like under the camouflage and give more detail on its powertrain and racing plans.

Fans should check Ford Racing's official channels on the day for the livestream and technical information.

Tesla Unveils Redesigned Roadster With SpaceX Thrusters, Targets 2028 Production

Tesla unveiled a redesigned second-generation Roadster on October 15 at SpaceX's rocket test site in McGregor, Texas, near Waco, and said production is targeted for 2028. The event came after a weather-related postponement from October 1, and the car arrived nearly nine years after Tesla first showed a prototype in 2017.

Thrusters and technology

The two-seater is equipped with SpaceX-developed thrusters, and a summary of the event reported steer-by-wire, rear thrusters, fans fed by a rechargeable air tank and an automatically adjusting rear wing. Reports say Tesla has opened reservations for named versions, with a Performance version at a 50,000 dollar deposit and a Thrust version at 250,000 dollars.

Claims versus facts

Outlets stress that performance figures are company claims. The 2017 targets included a 1.9-second 0 to 60 mph time, a top speed above 250 mph and a range of about 620 miles, and Musk has made bolder claims for a SpaceX package. No independent test results exist, as the car is not in customer production, and range figures reported for different versions vary between sources.

Price

Tesla did not announce an official price at the reveal. The only price tied to the car is the 2017 figure of about 200,000 dollars for the base version, which should not be treated as the confirmed price of the new car.

With production still around two years away, buyers and enthusiasts should treat details as provisional.

Porsche Mission S Concept Points to a New Mid-Engined Flagship Supercar Above the 911

Porsche has revealed the Mission S, a mid-engined concept that signals the direction of a new flagship supercar. The world premiere took place on October 15 at a pier in Queens, New York, with the Manhattan skyline behind it, according to Porsche's newsroom, and coverage continued into early November.

A permanent supercar above the 911

Porsche says it is planning, for the first time, a permanently available super sports car offering above the 911. The new model is expected to succeed the 918 Spyder in spirit, and Porsche describes a new mid-engined super sports car platform. Robb Report notes it is also the first design from Porsche's new head of design, Tobias Sühlmann.

Design and powertrain clues

City AM reports that round headlights and torpedo-shaped front wheel arches nod to several generations of the 911. Porsche has not given details of what powers the car, but the mid-engine layout and a prominent rev counter on the dashboard suggest combustion power plays a part, in contrast to the earlier all-electric Mission X concept. Inside, Porsche highlights an integrated seatbelt buckle in the centre panel and repositioned electric adjustment controls.

What is missing

Robb Report says the platform will be brand new, but mechanical details and the on-sale date have not been announced. Because this is a concept, the final production car may differ. Enthusiasts should wait for official specifications before drawing conclusions.

Pagani Reveals the Huayra 70 Anima, a One-Off With a Twin-Turbo V12, Manual Gearbox and Diamond-Dust Paint

Pagani has revealed the Huayra 70 Anima, a one-off car that combines a twin-turbo V12 engine, a seven-speed manual gearbox and paint infused with diamond dust. The reveal was reported on November 3 by Autotrader New Zealand.

The final birthday car

The Anima is the last of a trio of special cars created to mark Horacio Pagani's 70th birthday. The report notes that Pagani turns 71 on November 10, just days after the unveiling, so the birthday celebrations have lasted well beyond the actual date. The car was unveiled by Horacio Pagani himself.

Why a Huayra now?

It arrives four years after Pagani introduced the Utopia as the successor to the Huayra. The report observes that there is clearly still room for another bespoke commission based on the older car, particularly one that pairs a V12 with a manual gearbox, a combination that is increasingly rare in the supercar world.

What we know and do not know

The excerpt reviewed confirms the engine type, the seven-speed manual transmission and the diamond-dust paint, but it does not give power output, the identity of the buyer or the price. As a one-off commission, the Anima will not be sold to the public, and its value will depend on the customer's arrangement with the company.

For fans of analogue driving, the Anima is a reminder that small manufacturers can still build highly personal cars with traditional mechanical features.

McLaren McL 6GT Makes Its Global Public Debut in Las Vegas With V8 Power and a Manual Gearbox

The McLaren McL 6GT has made its global public debut at the 2026 Concours at Wynn Las Vegas, which ran from October 29 to November 2, autoevolution reported. The car was first shown privately during Monterey Car Week in California earlier in the year.

A heritage-focused supercar

McLaren describes the McL 6GT as being based on Bruce McLaren's original but unfulfilled supercar dream. According to the company's description quoted in the report, it uses lightweight carbon-fibre construction and V8 internal combustion power, and it is the first McLaren since the legendary McLaren F1 to offer an authentic manual transmission sending drive to the rear wheels.

Where it fits

Production is due to begin in 2028. McLaren positions the McL 6GT as a newly positioned and highly exclusive type of McLaren supercar that sits beyond the core supercar line and the newly announced SUV. In other words, it is a special model rather than a direct replacement for existing cars such as the 750S, which is going out of production in 2027.

Why enthusiasts care

A manual gearbox, a V8 and a lightweight carbon structure are features that many drivers feel are disappearing from the supercar world. The excerpt reviewed does not give power figures, pricing or production numbers, so these remain to be announced.

The Las Vegas showing gives the public its first chance to see the car in person, ahead of the 2028 start of production.

McLaren Announces the McL 820, the Next Series Supercar and Direct Successor to the 720S and 750S

McLaren has announced its next series-production supercar will be called the McL 820 and is due to arrive next year, according to autoevolution's report published on November 2. To mark the announcement, the brand placed a kiwi bird statue in central London, wrapped in camouflage and showing the new name.

What the name tells us

The McL prefix draws on McLaren's motorsport heritage, and the number follows the company's performance-based naming style. Autoevolution points out that the figure 820 indicates 820 PS, or about 809 horsepower. McLaren says the new naming approach creates a clearer and more consistent way to unify its road cars and racing cars. The kiwi is a nod to Bruce McLaren, who first used it as a symbol.

Replacing a long-running platform

The McL 820 is described as the direct successor to the 720S and 750S. McLaren took the final orders for the 750S in October, and that model will leave production in 2027. The company also recently announced a new brand identity and an investment of 500 million pounds from shareholder L'IMAD, intended to create an integrated UK operation that would allow McLaren to build engines in-house in the UK for the first time.

What is still unknown

The excerpt reviewed does not confirm the powertrain, the exact launch date or the price of the McL 820. Readers should wait for McLaren's official reveal for specifications.

The announcement shows McLaren is moving ahead with its next generation of road cars despite the end of the 750S.
