1988 Porsche 930 Turbo with 850 HP

There are more and more restored Porsche cars in the public eye, and one of the latest is the 1988 Porsche 930 Turbo. It is a turbocharged variant of the 911 model that was manufactured between 1975 and 1989, when Porsche discontinued the production of this car. The car was modified and restored by the Galpin company in cooperation with the Porsche distributor from Santa Clarita.

After the car was damaged by fire, but the team did not want to leave it to decay. So they did everything to save the car. First, the car was completely disassembled and restored. It was then fitted with an X83 Flachbau body kit paired with Rubystar paint. “Our goal with this Slantnose was to bring it back to the original generation while incorporating our own unique Galpinized design,” said Galpin boss Beau Boeckmann. In order to give a bit of racing spirit, a racing stripe has been added. The suspension has been upgraded with components taken from the 997 GT3 RS, and the car is fitted with HRE rims with Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

Inside, the seats are upholstered in turquoise with black and white inserts. The steering wheel and dashboard are also covered in turquoise, with matching carpets. There is also a Blaupunkt sound system.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Porsche 930 Turbo is powered by a turbocharged 3.5L flat-six engine with 850 hp (625 kW). As a reminder, the original 1988 model is powered by a 3.3L flat-six engine with 282 hp (207 kW) @ 5500 rpm and 289 lb-ft (392 Nm) of torque.

We know that there are many car enthusiasts who do not support modifying cars, especially when it comes to some of the legendary models, but this one might change the minds of some of them.

Ford Puma EV

Following the competition that pushed the transition to fully electrified cars by the end of the decade, Ford announced last year that it would also offer only electric cars from 2030. One of them is the new Ford Puma EV, which will go into production next year.

The new Ford Puma, one of the most popular sub-compact crossovers in Europe, will not differ much in design compared to the current generation. Small changes will be made to the front end. This means that the headlights will get new graphics, and the radiator grille, unlike the gasoline model, will probably remain closed due to aerodynamics.

With the all-electric Puma, Ford is trying to attract fans of B-segment crossovers. But unlike the Explorer, the electric Puma should not be based on the MEB, but instead use Ford’s electric car platform. The car is currently on the platform of the “Global B” group, which will probably be upgraded to accommodate new engines.

When it comes to engine power, it is assumed to have 134 hp (99 kW), as its van sibling. Ford currently offers engines with 181 hp (133 kW) and 265 hp (195 kW), but it is unlikely that any of them will be used in the Ford Puma. However, it is most important for Ford to keep up with the competition in terms of autonomy, so it will have to use at least a 55 kW battery. Therefore, a WLTP range of around 400 kilometers must be possible so that the target group does not choose the competition.

2025 Pininfarina B95

The Pininfarina B95 is a new expensive car from the luxury electric vehicle manufacturer with roots in the Italian car design firm Pininfarina SpA. It is a limited edition open-air two-seater that will be produced in only 10 copies.

The car uses a powertrain from the model Battista, which means it is powered by four electric motors with a total output of 1,877 hp (1,380 kW) and 1,726 lb-ft (2,340Nm) of torque. That’s enough power to push this supercar to 62 mph in just 1.86 seconds, 124 mph in 4.76 seconds and a top speed of 217 mph (350 km/h). It is equipped with a 120 kWh battery that charges from 20 to 80 percent in 25 minutes.

The car in the photo is finished in a gray shade of Bronzo Superga with contrasting Gialo Arneis details. It sits on 20-inch front and 21-inch rear forged aluminum wheels in matte black, behind which are hidden yellow brake calipers.

It’s equipped with carbon elements, and what makes the B95 unique compared to other Speedsters and Barchettes we’ve seen over the years is the fact that the driver and front passenger have unique and electrically adjustable small windshields, which are inspired by old fighter planes and made of transparent polycarbonate with exposed aluminum supports. The driver’s and passenger’s seats can be easily raised and lowered as desired and needed.

The interior of the car is just as spectacular as the exterior. Upon entering the cockpit, the carbon dashboard, designed as a floating wing, immediately attracts attention. The seats are upholstered in Tan Sustainable Luxury Leather, which also covers the dashboard, while the headrests are upholstered in Pied de Poule Houndstooth Luxury Textile material with black and white elements.

The Pininfarina B95 goes into production in 2025, when the company celebrates its 95th anniversary, and the price is also known. Each copy will cost €4.4 million.
