Give automotive fans an opportunity to speak, and they are always eager to debate on which sports cars they think are the greatest and most attractive. Of course, with a seemingly endless number of cars that have been produced over the better part of a century, there are a plethora of memorable vehicles that will be tossed up in discussion. Even so, one car pretty much gets namedropped at every conversation, bearing the numbers 9-1-1. Since its inception in 1963, this iconic machine is widely regarded as the pinnacle of the sports car world and has been a tour de force ever since. Whether you agree with it or not, there is no denying that Porsche has made the quintessential sports car, and there are good reasons to believe that. The question, then, is how exactly has this remarkable machine managed to remain the preeminent sports car for over half a century? Engine’s Out Back Honey

This is also the first time the Philippine national anthem, Bayang Magiliw, was played during a professional podium ceremony. 18-year-old Bianca, racing in the #16 PREMA, had an exceptional weekend in Valencia, showcasing her impressive skills and determination. Bustamante began her weekend with excellent performances in both Free Practice sessions and continued her form into Qualifying, setting faster lap times each time around the 4km Grand Prix circuit. However, despite securing P2 and P5 in both race grid-setting sessions respectively, she was later classified P8 in Q1 and P13 in Q2 due to post-session lap time deletions caused by track limit infringements.

This was also coincidentally 60 years after Bruce McLaren founded the firm.

New technical regulations will result in future Formula One cars to compete with a new combustion engine, which will be able to run with fully sustainable fuels. For greater efficiency, these engines will be paired with a 469bhp electric motor. With Formula 1 regulations set to change once again in 2026, owing to more stringent rules and environmental concerns, this leaves a gap for new teams and manufacturers to enter. Audi has already confirmed their entry for the 2026 season with Sauber, and now Ford has just announced that it will also be returning to the big leagues.

Amongst most inner automotive circles, whether they be of professional or pop-culture variety, the R33 Nissan Skyline, produced between 1993-1996, is somewhat referred to as the ‘black sheep’ of the Skyline family. Critics often compare it to a toned-down passive version of the R32 which preceded it, and then it was made worse by the model which superseded it - the legendary R34, probably the most renowned Skyline model of all time.

These aren’t your average run-of-the-mill supercars, but rather cars that shatter world records and achieve speeds most others can only dream of. It all started with the company’s speed-crazed founder, Christian Von Koenigsegg. At the age of 22, Christian was fascinated with the idea of building cars. After trading in his food business, he amassed just enough capital to finance what would later become his multi-million dollar hypercar empire, now based in Angelhom, Sweden. Today, it’s common to see different automakers sharing parts and outsourcing in order to cut costs. However, that’s not the case with Koenigsegg. These artisans make almost everything in-house, even the most trivial of things like wiper blades. The benefit? By designing every part to their specifications, Koenigsegg has managed to innovate some game-changing technologies over the years.
