2026 Ferrari 296 Speciale

The Ferrari 296 Speciale is the new supercar in the Italian brand’s fleet. It is the most powerful version of the 296 GTB model, which brings the best aerodynamic solutions of the Maranello-based company.

The 296 Speciale is equipped with lightweight carbon fiber components, modified suspension, reduced ground clearance, improved brakes, and a revised aerodynamic package that improves downforce by 20 percent. The interior is equipped with new seats and a variety of carbon accessories that further reduce the weight of the car by 5 kg.

When it comes to the powertrain, the Speciale is powered by a 3.0-L V6 engine combined with an electric motor for a total of 868 hp, which is more than the 296 GTB. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic transmission. It reaches 100 km/h in just 2.8 seconds with a top speed of 330 km/h. The company also claims that the Speciale has better and more precise handling.

Ferrari marketing chief Enrico Galliera said that the 296 Speciale will be very exclusive, and that the car will be offered to customers who have purchased a new or improved used car from authorized dealers in the last five years. It will be available in Coupe and Spider variants, and the price will range from 407,000 euros (Coupe) to 462,000 euros (Spider).

First photos of the new Jeep Compass

In March, Stellantis announced the arrival of the third generation Jeep Compass, which should arrive on the market by the end of the year. It will be produced in Italy, at the Melfi factory, and now we have the first photos of the car.

Jeep recently released a teaser showing that the new Compass will retain the seven-slat front grille, but will also get new headlights like those on the Recon model, and new taillights with LED graphics. It will also be equipped with plastic protective elements, which give it a little more robustness.

The car will be built on the STLA Medium platform, which will be shared with several models from the group such as the Peugeot 3008 and 5008, Opel Grandland, DS 7 and the new Citroen C5 Aircross. The interior brings a large multimedia system, several physical buttons, plenty of storage space, a panoramic roof and an electrically operated sunroof, a Head-up display and leather upholstery with contrasting stitching.

When it comes to the powertrain, the new Compass will be offered as a hybrid, plug-in hybrid and all-electric. Stellantis claims that this car will have best-in-class performance and cutting-edge technology. Whether that’s true remains to be seen after the car makes its debut.

2026 Aston Martin DBX S

Aston Martin has unveiled its fastest SUV yet, taking on the Ferrari Purosangue and Lamborghini Urus SE, the Aston Martin DBX S.

The DBX S is powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine with 718 hp and 900 Nm of torque, which is 21 more than its sibling, the DBX 707. Compared to the competition, it has 3 hp more than the Purosangue but 82 hp less than the Urus SE. It accelerates to 100 km/h in 3.3 seconds, the same as the DBX 707, but is 0.3 seconds faster to 200 km/h.

The car is equipped with a new black grille, new front and rear bumpers, larger sills, and other components that the company claims further improve airflow. Buyers can optionally choose components that further reduce the car’s weight, such as carbon sills or bumpers and a special polycarbonate grille. It is mounted on lightweight 23-inch magnesium wheels. The cabin features patterned seats, the design of which is replicated on the ceiling if the buyer opts for an 18-kilogram lighter roof.

It should also be noted that the DBX S has borrowed some technology from the new Valhalla supercar.

The company has not announced when the first units will reach their owners or how much the DBX S will cost.
