Anticipated Brilliance - In the world of high-performance automotive engineering, innovation never sleeps. Each passing year brings new benchmarks, redefining what’s possible on both track and road. Among the elite brands constantly pushing these limits, Ferrari remains a symbol of relentless ambition and passion. This year, that passion takes the shape of something fiercely anticipated—an evolved beast that builds on brilliance. Meet the Ferrari 296 VS (Versione Speciale), a machine designed not just to thrill, but to honor a rich legacy of motorsport-inspired performance.
The Ferrari 296 VS will take cues from the new F80 and stands as the most ferocious V6 ever built, marking the pinnacle of the 296 lineup. (Picture from: F1Motors)
The Ferrari 296 GTB, already a revolution in its own right, broke away from tradition by introducing a twin-turbocharged 2.9-liter V6 engine coupled with a plug-in hybrid system. With 819 horsepower and 546 lb-ft of torque, it shifted perceptions, offering electrified performance that rivaled the mightiest V8 and V12 supercars. But for Ferrari, evolution never ends at the GTB. This April, the Prancing Horse is unleashing something even sharper: the 296 VS.
For Ferrari, evolution doesn’t stop at the 296 GTB—as pictured here in the Assetto Fiorano Hungaroring variant—and this April, the Prancing Horse is set to unveil the even sharper 296 VS. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
For years, Ferrari fans and collectors have speculated about a more track-focused version of the 296. Whispers filled forums, and excitement built quietly—until now. The 296 VS is no longer a rumor. It’s a real and roaring successor to Ferrari's celebrated lineage of lightweight, driver-centric masterpieces such as the 360 Challenge Stradale, 430 Scuderia, 458 Speciale, and 488 Pista. The unveiling is set for April 29th, and the anticipation couldn’t be higher.
The Ferrari 296 VS is reportedly more ferocious than its predecessor, the 296 GTB (as pictured), which is powered by a hybrid drivetrain combining a 2,992cc turbocharged V6 engine with an electric motor. (Picture from: BlackXperience)
Borrowing design cues from Ferrari’s cutting-edge F80 hypercar, the 296 VS is rumored to embrace aggressive aerodynamics, including a fully enclosed engine bay and twin active flaps on the rear decklid. It could receive the same wheels as the F80 and much like the 12Cilindri, may these flaps reminiscent of the Pagani Huayra's active aero system, aim to improve braking and deliver greater downforce, making the rear axle more planted during high-speed maneuvers. This design evolution makes it not only look faster but also function with a purpose that honors Ferrari’s racing DNA.

Performance enhancements don’t stop with bodywork. The 296 VS is expected to receive a newly tuned exhaust system, a more prominent rear diffuser, and crucial weight reductions that strip it down to its raw, exhilarating essence. Though official figures haven’t surfaced, insiders suggest that its power output may close the gap with Lamborghini’s monstrous 907-hp Temerario. One thing’s for sure—it will be faster, meaner, and more engaging than the standard GTB.

Concept Royalty- When people think of supercars, brands like Ferrari, Lamborghini, or McLaren often dominate the conversation. But every now and then, a lesser-known brand steps into the spotlight and leaves a lasting impression. Such is the case with Peugeot—a company more recognized for practical city cars than exotic performance machines. Yet in 2004, this French manufacturer shocked the automotive world with something truly extraordinary: the Peugeot 907 Concept. It wasn't just a car—it was a bold artistic statement, a technical showcase, and a glimpse of what Peugeot could achieve when imagination was given free rein.

At first glance, the 907 drew instant comparisons to Italian grand tourers like the Ferrari 575M Maranello. Both featured a dramatic long-nosed silhouette, exuding elegance and power. But the 907 had its own identity. Gérard Welter managed to sculpt a body that blended sleek curves with assertive presence, delivering the kind of visual drama usually reserved for British or Italian luxury coupes. Instead of a metal roof, a sweeping glass canopy curved over the cockpit, flowing seamlessly into the rear. Glass was also used generously on the bootlid and even the hood—where a transparent section revealed the glorious intake trumpets of the engine beneath.

Speaking of the engine, it wasn’t just for show. The 907 was built to move, and move fast. Under its carbon-fiber skin lay a beast: a V12 engine formed by merging two 3.0-liter V6 blocks, delivering a combined 507 horsepower. Mounted just behind the front axle, the engine’s placement allowed for a more balanced weight distribution and gave room for aggressive side exhausts that exited just behind the front wheels—a feature reminiscent of the Mercedes SLR McLaren. Despite its size and luxury, the car weighed only 3,086 lbs thanks to its carbon-fiber monocoque chassis. This gave it a remarkable power-to-weight ratio of 347 hp per tonne, making it more than capable of keeping pace with some of the best in its class.

Despite all this brilliance, the 907 was never meant for mass production. It wasn’t a car for the road, but a celebration of what Peugeot’s design team could achieve when limitations were removed. Still, unlike many concepts that are static displays, the 907 was fully drivable. It featured a four-wheel control arm suspension and a sequential transmission sending all that V12 muscle to the rear wheels. Every element, from the engineering to the aesthetics, served one goal: to showcase the depth of Peugeot's design capabilities.
Though it never made it past the concept stage, the Peugeot 907 remains one of the most captivating concept cars ever created. It proved that even manufacturers known for everyday vehicles could break out of the mold and craft something truly unforgettable. The 907 wasn't just a car—it was Peugeot daring the world to dream a little bigger. *** [EKA [25092021] | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | FLEETNEWS | WIKIPEDIA | SUPERCARS | DRIVETRIBE | FLEETNEWS | CARBUZZ ]

Mechanical Majesty - In a world where mobility continues to evolve beyond wheels and wings, it's no surprise that innovation now walks—quite literally—on four legs. From drones that deliver to autonomous cars navigating bustling cities, engineers are constantly rethinking how we move. But Kawasaki Heavy Industries or Kawasaki, a name long associated with powerful motorcycles and heavy machinery, has taken a striking detour from the expected. Instead of unveiling a faster bike or a more rugged ATV, they’ve introduced something out of a science fiction storyboard: a four-legged horse robot named CORLEO.
Kawasaki, long known for its powerful motorcycles and heavy machinery, takes a bold leap into the future with CORLEO—a four-legged robotic rides set to debut at the Osaka Expo 2025 on April 13. (Picture from: TerasJabar)
CORLEO is not just an impressive showpiece—it’s Kawasaki’s bold statement on the future of exploration through rough, untamed landscapes. Set to make its public debut at the Osaka Expo 2025 starting April 13, this futuristic steed was designed with a purpose that goes beyond visual spectacle. Kawasaki envisions CORLEO as a revolutionary mode of transport that blends the mechanical strength of motorcycles with the adaptable grace of animals, allowing riders to conquer terrain that has long remained out of reach.
Kawasaki CORLEO is an innovative wheelless robotic ride concept that mimics horseback riding and uses hydrogen power to deliver clean energy for off-road travel. (Picture from: TMCBlog)
Looking at it for the first time, CORLEO might seem like a character straight out of a cyberpunk manga. Its four articulated legs, each ending in split rubber “hooves,” are crafted to grip and adapt to challenging surfaces like rocks, gravel, sand, or grassy trails. But this robot horse doesn’t merely walk—it responds to the environment. Thanks to an advanced independent suspension system installed on its rear legs, CORLEO can absorb shocks and stay level even when moving across uneven ground. It’s a clever mechanical nod to the swingarm design found in traditional motorcycles, now reimagined for quadruped locomotion.
The Kawasaki CORLEO four-legged robotic ride is powered by an eco-friendly hydrogen engine that drives its legs, while AI analyzes the terrain, maintains balance and stability, and helps the rider steer by detecting weight shifts in the saddle.(Picture from: TMCBlog)
The riding experience itself is immersive and intuitive. Instead of handlebars or throttles, the rider influences CORLEO’s movements through subtle shifts in body weight on the footrests. A detection system integrated into the handlebars works in tandem with these weight cues, allowing for control that feels more like a dance with the machine than a command. Kawasaki emphasizes that the goal is to replicate the synergy of horseback riding—where the machine and rider move as one. And despite its futuristic appearance, the CORLEO is intended to be user-friendly, even for those unfamiliar with off-road riding. Whether it’s climbing mountains, crossing streams, or tackling narrow woodland paths, this robotic mount aims to make it accessible for everyone.
The Kawasaki CORLEO robotic ride includes a dashboard that displays hydrogen levels, route information, center of gravity, and more, while projecting path markers onto the terrain at night to support a smooth and controlled ride.(Picture from: TMCBlog)
Powering this innovation is a forward-thinking energy solution. Instead of relying on fossil fuels or even conventional batteries, Kawasaki turned to hydrogen. A compact 150cc engine, mounted on CORLEO’s front leg, generates electricity from hydrogen stored in a cartridge placed at the rear. This electricity is then distributed to individual power units on each leg, enabling smooth and responsive movement. It’s clean, quiet, and entirely in line with a vision for sustainable future transport.

To support the ride, an onboard display provides real-time information like hydrogen levels, route guidance, and even the rider's center of gravity. For night excursions or low-visibility conditions, the system projects directional lights onto the terrain, giving the rider both control and confidence no matter the environment.
Though it remains a concept for now, with no current plans for commercial release, CORLEO offers a compelling glimpse into how Kawasaki imagines mobility by the year 2050. It may not be galloping into dealerships anytime soon, but the message is loud and clear: the roads of tomorrow may not be roads at all—and Kawasaki intends to be among the first to guide us across them. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | GLOBAL KAWASAKI | GTTHEMAXIMALIST ON X | GAGADGET | STREETBIKERSWORLD | THESUPERBOO! ]
