The WILD Ferrari 296 GT Modificata 🇮🇹

______________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[9-14-26 /// Image by: Ferrari ] The Ferrari 296 has gotten even wilder thanks to the new GT Modificata. This is a track only special based on the 296 GT3 Evo, though this onscreen isn’t tied to racing restrictions. It’s so much quicker, that it ran the Fiorano circuit 3seconds faster than the GT3. ⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec Sheet: The 2.9L (2992cc so sort of a 3.0L) Twin Turbo V6 is now making 720HP and 590 lb-ft of torque thanks to new turbos, intercoolers, cams, induction and more🏁 There even is a new fuel system.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Outside is a unique body and aero design too with a larger front spitter, huge rear wing, and integrated intakes. As with most special Ferrari’s it will be extremely limited, track only, and cannot compete in sanctioned racing events. So if you aren’t a member of Ferrari’s Club Competizioni GT program… look away.

Volkswagen Mission Efficiency Concept ⚡️
________________________________ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
[9-14-26 /// Image by: VW ] Remember the wild VW XL1 super efficient pod from 13 years ago? Well the brand is bringing the teardrop idea back with the Mission Efficiency concept with an inane 0.158 Drag Coefficient. This 2+2 traveled over 400 miles on just a 54.9kWh battery. It draws it’s teardrop shape form the ZL1 And is made from carbon fiber with skinny 155 section width tires. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

🏁 Spec Sheet: concept rides on the new MEB+ architecture and uses a 133HP front eMotor with 0-60 in around 9 seconds. Essentially, it’s an ID Polo underneath. The Polo is actually much taller and shorter. It also uses a 370W photovoltaic panel which can gain around 18.6 miles in perfect sunlight. 🏁
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
VW also fitted electromechanical rear brakes to save weight, ditching any brake fluid. The main chassis is aluminum with doors and hood and trunk from CFRP. Inside it’s a super simple space with no infotainment screen, no speakers, some crazy seats and space for 4. How many will be made, if any, is yet to be revealed.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
There are 3 exterior options from Luxury, M Sport, and M Sport Professional to start. We chose the latter option. There also are 5 wheel options and 21 paint options with a host of duo tone finishes - this is Vancouver Green Metallic. Inside are 3 Veganza options, 5 Extended Merino Leather choices, and 8 Full Merino leather colors along with 6 interior trims.

2026 Lexus GX550 Luxury+ Every Fearure!
______________________________________
[9-8-26 /// Image by: Allcarnews ] The 2026 Lexus GX550 in Luxury+ trim is what we call the “Lifestyle GX,” AKA, it’s meant for the road. With 22in wheels, an electrochroamatic glass roof, massaging front seats, premium leather & wood, 21 speaker Mark Levinson audio system, and power running boards, the most “off-road” this style of GX likely will see is a curb in a parking lot. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Spec Sheet:
TNGA-F
3.4L Twin Turbo V6
349HP & 479 lb-ft of torque
10-Speed Auto / 2-Speed transfer case
Full Time 4WD
7,601lbs towing (9,096lbs of towing other trims)
17MPG Combined, 15 City, 21 Highway
Dimensions: 197in Long x 83in wide x 75in tall. 112.2in wheelbase.
MSRP: $82,750
As Tested: $87,354
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
How was it?
We love the GX’s looks - boxy, bold, and distinctive. Even with the luxury bits, the GX Luxury+ also retains its off road bones with a proper 4WD system, ladder frame chassis, and imposing driving position. We were not impressed with the ride, especially on 22in wheels. The BOF chassis, solid rear axle & these large wheels meant feeling bumps and uneven pavement became a common occurrence in the cabin. It’s also rather small inside, with a tight third and second row. While the TT V6 packs a punch, the fuel economy and fuel range were less to be desired. The interior also could’ve been a bit more nicely appointed with more trim, less giant screen, and a styled dash like the last generation GX.

ACNCarScore: 7.5/10
