This isn’t the Ferrari you expected, but the Prancing Horse has gone silent!
The Ferrari Luce — the first fully electric Ferrari, and perhaps the biggest shift in Maranello’s history.
But Ferrari doesn’t want you to think of this as just an electric Ferrari. They call it an entirely new kind of Ferrari. Here’s what it brings ➡️
➡️ Four electric motors, one powering each wheel
➡️ 1050hp and 11,500Nm torque at the wheels
➡️ 0–100 kmph in 2.5 seconds
➡️ 0–200 kmph in 6.8 seconds
➡️ Top speed of 310 kmph
➡️ 122kWh battery pack
➡️ 800V architecture with 350kW charging
➡️ Up to 530km claimed range
And the engineering gets even more interesting ➡️
➡️ First-ever five-seat Ferrari
➡️ Four-wheel steering and active suspension
➡️ Ferrari-developed torque-control paddles for progressive acceleration
➡️ Authentic amplified mechanical EV sound
➡️ Largest wheels ever fitted to a production Ferrari: 23-inch front, 24-inch rear
This isn’t replacing the V12. It isn’t replacing the hybrid era either.
It’s Ferrari opening an entirely new chapter.

Six custom Shotgun 650s. Six completely different takes on the same motorcycle.
Royal Enfield’s Busted Knuckles Build-Off Europe heads to the Bike Shed Moto Show in London this week, where one of these builds will be crowned the winner. From choppers to brat-style builds and even a sidecar setup, this year’s finalists have gone in very different directions with the Shotgun 650 platform.
Which build would get your vote?👀

Just a day before its official debut, we’re getting a glimpse of Honda’s facelifted City! From what we can see, expect updated fascia, new wheels, clear tail lamps, ADAS, and a new screen on the inside with no changes to the powertrain. What do you think this would be priced at?

The Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupe has ditched the ICE platform and chooses to go electric! Despite the change in power-plant, Mercedes claims that the car has been built to deliver an enhanced driving experience, one that is ‘quintessentially AMG’
The EV platform comes with numerous innovations.
One of them being the AMG RACE ENGINEER, which allows the dynamics of the car to be tailored precisely to a user’s personal driving style.
The rest of the specs include:
➡️ Triple axial-flux electric motor setup producing 816hp in the GT 55 and 1169hp in the GT 63
➡️ Formula 1-inspired battery technology
➡️ 10-80% charging in 11 minutes
➡️ 696km of claimed range
➡️ Rear-biased AWD system
➡️ Simulated V8 sound digitisation with haptic gearshifts and simulated traction interruptions
The AMG GT 4-Door is built on a dedicated AMG.EA high-performance platform. It merges the ‘sports car’ and ‘Gran Turismo’ attributes, being low slung, driver-focused and sporty in its hardware, while also providing a comfortable experience for passengers in the rear.
What are your thoughts on this new Mercedes platform?

Wrists hurt. Back hurts. Knees crack like popcorn. No, this isn’t 36 year old me complaining about health issues. I am perfectly fine. This is the soundtrack of almost everyone who owns a supersport motorcycle. Too committed. And no, that’s not their relationship status.
A fully faired litre class motorcycle is a lot. Too much power, too much aggression, too much motorcycle. Unless, of course, you live somewhere in Europe, five minutes from a racetrack and wealthy enough to roast through slicks every alternate weekend without checking your bank balance.
Now that I have baited you into this conversation, let’s talk about the Norton Manx R.
This is the reborn brand’s first proper shot at relevance after TVS Motor Company stepped in during the pandemic and took full control. The last few years have clearly been spent plotting a comeback. The Manx R is the first missile off the launchpad, with the Atlas range waiting in the hangar for later this year.
The Manx R is global in every sense. Bits from around the world, engine assembly and several components handled in India, while the final motorcycle is put together in the UK. And despite being a fully faired machine, it doesn’t behave like the modern superbikes we’ve become used to. It’s oddly relaxed. Almost too cool to try hard. One colour. Barely any branding. Clean lines, clever detailing and just enough attitude. Some will call it minimal. Others will call it lazy. Motorcycle enthusiasts will argue about this forever and honestly, I am here with the popcorn
But the moment you open the throttle, the confusion begins. Keep reading!
It’s quick. Obviously. The mid range is properly punchy too. Which is surprising. And then the top end feels strangely flat. Weird? Yes. Intentional? Probably. Because what that creates is something you rarely say about a litre class sportbike. It’s usable. I spent 40 minutes on track, followed by three hours on the road and stepped off without feeling like I needed physiotherapy. No aching wrists. No broken spine. Nothing!
And that leads directly to the conclusion.
The Manx R is an everyday superbike.
Read that again.
It turns quickly despite carrying a bit of weight and the brakes hit with the violence of a wall impact. Absolute anchors. Electronics? Everything you expect is here. Rider modes, assists, keyless ignition, the works. We rode the third variant out of four, which means carbon fibre jewellery, expensive paint and enough bling to make accountants nervous.
Not everything is perfect though. The display looks like a forgotten cheese block from 2012. Too square, too basic and not nearly premium enough for a motorcycle like this. The riding modes glitched a few times and the quickshifter had a couple of confused moments too. So yes, the software side still needs polishing.
But the motorcycle underneath all of that? Fantastic.
The Norton Manx R doesn’t demand an occasion. You don’t need to circle Sundays on a calendar or book trackdays six months in advance to enjoy it. Ride it to work. Ride it to breakfast. Ride it around a racetrack when you want. Just keep your expectations realistic. This is not your typical fully faired litre class lunatic.
It’s different.
And I genuinely liked that.

An ADV bearing KTM’s 490cc parallel-twin motor has been spotted testing!
It’s the KTM 490 Adventure, and will be positioned between the 390 Adventure and the 890 Adventure, perfectly filling the gap between a lightweight single, and a heavyweight twin.
Confirmed specs include:
➡️ 21-inch front wheel and 17- inch rear, both with a tubeless spoke setup
➡️ Dual purpose Pirelli Scorpion Rally STR tyres
➡️ WP suspension components
➡️ Single disc brakes at both ends, with a radial WP caliper at the front
The new 490 platform being a joint KTM-Bajaj development, will have a direct implication for Indian buyers. Local manufacturing has always kept KTM prices competitive and the story will likely continue for the 490 as well.
Competition will be motorcycles like the F450 GS and the upcoming Tuareg 457. Which middleweight ADV would you pick?

A farewell to Ferrari’s non-hybrid V8 era, done properly.
The one-off Ferrari HC25 is a rather special machine, sitting somewhere between Ferrari’s iconic V8 past and its electrified future. Based on the F8 Spider, it shares the same chassis and suspension architecture, but wears an entirely bespoke body with sharper, more futuristic surfacing. Here’s what it gets ➡️
➡️ 3.9-litre twin-turbo V8
➡️ Mid-engined, rear-wheel drive
➡️ 710hp & 770Nm
➡️ 0–100 km/h in 2.9 seconds
➡️ Top speed of 340 kmph
➡️ Grey and yellow interior theme
➡️ Custom leather and fabric upholstery
➡️ Bespoke stitching patterns throughout
Built for a single private client, the HC25 feels like a tribute to the last of Ferrari’s pure non-hybrid V8 supercars — tailored, personal and timeless.
Do you think this is the right way to honour the end of an era?

Brabus has built its first-ever fully coachbuilt car, and it’s a V12 hyper-GT.
Meet the Brabus Bodo — a front-engined, rear-driven grand tourer built as a tribute to Brabus founder Bodo Buschmann, blending classic GT proportions with hypercar performance.
The numbers are outrageous ➡️
➡️ Hand-built 5.2-litre twin-turbo V12
➡️ No hybrid system
➡️ 1000hp & 1200Nm
➡️ 8-speed transaxle gearbox
➡️ Rear-wheel drive
➡️ 0–100 km/h in 3.0 seconds
➡️ Electronically limited top speed of 360 km/h
➡️ Full carbon-fibre body
➡️ Active rear spoiler with integrated air-brake
➡️ Titanium quad exhaust system
➡️ Electronic KW coilover suspension
➡️ Five drive modes
➡️ Carbon-ceramic brakes with 410mm front discs
Limited to just 77 units worldwide, a nod to Brabus’ founding year of 1977.
The Bodo feels like Brabus stepping into a new league — less tuner, more ultra-exclusive coachbuilder.
What do you think of where the Brabus brand is headed?
