Last week Morgan posted a video of a drone flying through it’s factory at Malvern Link, in England. Just over three-minutes long, it is utterly automotive bliss for us gearheads.

The new beast is out
😍😍😍
Cadillac joins the party
Today Cadillac revealed a small teaser of their upcoming IMSA/WEC Hypercar prototype. They only showed a computer rendering and a very short film on their Instagram account. Therefor, information is so far pretty scarce. If everything goes as planned, the car, co-developed by Dallara and Cadillac Racing, will be ready for the 2023 season. Autosport has a little more to tell.
Things are looking quite bright for 2023…
Peugeot 9X8
And today we get news from Peugeot… Their new 9X8 is still undergoing testing, but boy does that car looks ICE cool! Looks like 2023 is going to be quite interesting 🏁.
New Porsche prototype
This past Friday, at the Weissach test track, Porsche rolled-out its new LMDh prototype. Intended for both WEC and IMSA series, the car will be ready later this year. According to Motorsport.com, Team Penske will be responsible for the factory effort in both series in 2023.
For a Porsche fanboy AND a Le Mans nut, that is great news 😎.
A tribute to Sir Stirling Moss
On December 10th Mercedes posted a tribute to the great Stirling Moss, who left us on April 12th, last year. Just imagine, to see (and hear!) his fabulous 300 SLR #722 running around the streets of London…
2022 Hypercar
On the 24 Heures du Mans’ official page today they posted an article with all the brands that will participate in the Hypercar class starting in 2022. From Acura to Toyota, the list is quite long. And to be honest, until now, I wasn’t aware of all those manufacturers. Of course there’s a long road ahead until we arrive at Le Mans next year, however things do look good.
This weekend!
Will Toyota win again? Or will Glickenhaus and Alpine have a chance? Once again Toyota is the favorite, however with the good results of the Glickenhaus 007 LMH during tests maybe we’ll have an interesting race. Nothing against Toyota, but it would be nice to see an underdog come on top.
The bulls will run at La Sarthe
According to Jalopnik, Lamborghini will have a car in LMDh. Therefore, there finally may be a Raging Bull racing as a factory effort at Le Mans! Looks like it will use the same chassis and engine as Porsche and Audi (built by Multimac), however with different bodies, of course.
In June I was bemoaning about Lamborghini NOT having a race heritage. So, will the cars from Sant’Agata Bolognese finally become born-and-bread racers?
Hope so.
The Jesko is almost here
I’m a HUGE fan of Christian von Koenigsegg’s masterpieces. The Jesko is the latest. Unveiled in the 2019 Geneva Auto Show, according to him it’s almost ready for production. On the video above he shows a little bit more of the beast, and it’s just flabbergasting. Honestly, I don’t think you can go more bonkers than this.
