The Renault Megane RX is the most brutal version of the Megane to date. It was developed by Prodriv, and it will have as much as 600 horsepower. It will be driven by a former freestyle skier, and today a Guerlain Chicherit racer, who will race with him in the rallycross championship, where Ken Block will also stand against him. It won't be easy for him, but Prodrive has repeatedly proven that it is up to the challenge. Last but not least, his vehicles won titles in various motor sports disciplines.

Latvian conversion group HGK Motorsport is no stranger to conversions of BMW models. Last but not least, they make racing cars for them. Practically every model has gone under their knife, only the Series 2 has so far avoided their operating room. With the BMW M2 F22 Eurofighter model, they have now corrected this 'mistake' as well. And in what way. With a Kevlar and carbon fiber clad sliding beast that spits out 820 horsepower! It is made according to the rules of the Formula D Championship (Drift).
Bac Mono is the first car in the world to be made of graphene (a carbon layer material), one of the most exciting and revolutionary materials of this millennium, which has many unexpected physical properties such as great strength (hundred times harder than steel), good electrical conductivity and flexibility. It is also extremely light (noticeably even compared to carbon fiber), environmentally friendly and almost transparent. The British used it in the production of the rear suspension, thus saving 20 percent of the mass of the single-seater beast, and at the expense of its structure and engine, it really has exceptional acceleration.
Many car brands like to boast that they have poured technology from their racing cars into road-going versions, but no one does it more convincingly than Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus. Probably because the SCG003S supercar is actually an SCG003C racing car with road-worthy license plate and lights.
DevBot is not a model of the Danish toy manufacturer Lego from the Lego Technic series, DevBot is a working prototype of a self-driving electric racing car for the new Roborace motoring championship, in which racing cars without drivers will race. Although it is an autonomous racing car, the DevBot has a seat for the driver, as it is basically made for testing software and other equipment and, consequently, a better understanding of the vehicle that the teams will use in the championship, which will start in a good six months.
The Aston Martin Vantage GT8 is a road-licensed racing car. Blue racing blood runs through it, as it comes from the V8 Vantage GTE race car (contending in the FIA WEC Championship). It's the most powerful and lightest V8 Vantage ever, thanks to its carbon fiber bodywork and aerodynamic lines. This combination means only one thing - even better driving characteristics.
Do you also find Formula 1 boring? But perhaps the passion for formula awakens in you the new world championship within Formula E (a series where electric sparks jump instead of gasoline vapors), announced by the Fédération Internationale de l'Automobile (FIA), called Roborace.

The McLaren 650S GT3 will be presented to the general public for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show, where it arrives with an excellent package. Indeed, McLaren's newest racing car already sent fear into the competition's bones on its debut at the Bathurst 12 Hour endurance race at Mount Panorama in Australia, as it not only won, but also set a lap record, which now stands at 2 minutes and 1.286 seconds.

The Opel Astra TCR is Opel's new machine for racetracks, more specifically, for the TCR (Touring Car Racing) international championship series. The racer for short and endurance races like the 24 Hours of Nürburgring is the most expensive version of the new Astra, but you won't be able to park it in your home garage, although (mainly due to costs) the Germans have tried to make it deviate as little as possible from the production version. But the additions for aerodynamics, engine and so on are still too "excessive" for ordinary roads.
At the 2015 Goodwood Festival of Speed, Lotus' most expensive car in history - the Lotus 3-Eleven, the successor to the 2008 model 2-Eleven - made its world public debut. So it makes sense that it's also the fastest. It can be driven up to 290 km/h, and from 0 to 100 km/h it takes less than three seconds. It has an extremely light and all-new body, and there will be two versions available - one ready for racetracks and the other for normal roads.
