The Ultimate Review #3
Porsche 911 GT3 S/C — the essence of driving, open to the sky
The Porsche 911 GT3 S/C represents a unique evolution within the GT3 lineup. For the first time, Stuttgart’s iconic sports car adopts a convertible configuration with a fully automatic roof, seamlessly integrated without disrupting the purity of its silhouette. From the side profile, the 911 retains its characteristic tension, while the design gains a greater sense of fluidity, as if every surface had been refined to better interact with light and airflow.
This version follows a direct path from Porsche’s most focused creations, particularly the 911 S/T. It inherits its lightweight philosophy, carbon fibre components and almost surgical approach to weight reduction. The 911 GT3 S/C does not attempt to merge two opposing worlds, but rather extends a singular idea: a GT capable of offering a more open and emotional experience while preserving the uncompromising precision of its origins.
Beneath the sculpted bodywork, the naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six engine delivers 510 PS and climbs to 9,000 rpm. Paired exclusively with a six-speed manual gearbox, it maintains the deeply mechanical character that defines the GT3 philosophy. The power delivery remains progressive and precise, yet filled with the intensity that has made Porsche’s naturally aspirated engines so distinctive.
Weight reduction remains at the heart of the design process. Carbon fibre body components, lightweight structural elements and magnesium wheels derived from the 911 S/T all contribute to preserving a sense of agility and precision. Even the integration of the automatic roof follows this pursuit of purity, operating almost invisibly to maintain the elegance of the overall design.
Inside, the cabin remains faithful to the GT3 spirit: two seats, a driver-focused architecture and a direct connection between man and machine. Leather, carbon fibre and technical materials combine in a functional environment where every element has been selected for its purpose rather than its effect. The result feels closer to a cockpit than a conventional interior.
On the road, the GT3 S/C retains the dynamic precision that defines the GT family. The chassis prioritises accuracy, the steering communicates every nuance, and the car remains exceptionally readable through fast corners and winding roads. The open-top configuration adds a new sensory dimension, allowing the sound of the flat-six and the surrounding environment to become part of the driving experience.
With the 911 GT3 S/C, Porsche does not redefine the GT3 : it refines its expression. A more open interpretation of a legendary driver’s car, guided by the same pursuit of precision, balance and authenticity.
Pagani Zonda Cervino — the art of bespoke automotive craftsmanship
The Pagani Zonda Cervino is a new expression of the timeless appeal of the Zonda. Created through the Pagani Unico program, this one-off creation reimagines an existing Zonda with a completely new identity, shaped around the vision of its new owner seeking a truly personal interpretation of one of Pagani’s most iconic designs.
Inspired by the alpine peaks that lend it its name, the Zonda Cervino introduces a distinctive aesthetic combining exposed carbon fibre, deep blue accents and meticulously crafted bespoke details. Its sculpted aerodynamic elements enhance the dramatic proportions of the Zonda silhouette, where every surface and component appears designed with both purpose and artistic precision.
Inside this unique bodywork remains the legendary naturally aspirated AMG V12, the mechanical heart that helped define the Zonda’s legacy. More than a powertrain, it represents the emotional connection between engineering and artistry that has always shaped Pagani creations.
Revealed on the shores of Lake Como, the Pagani Zonda Cervino demonstrates that the Zonda continues to inspire collectors and designers decades after its original debut. A unique automotive masterpiece, created through an intimate dialogue between craftsmanship, heritage and individual expression.
Audi Nuvolari — Audi’s bold new vision of the supercar
Named in honour of Tazio Nuvolari, the legendary motorsport figure renowned for his courage and extraordinary driving talent, the new Audi Nuvolari marks a major turning point in the brand’s performance philosophy. As the spiritual successor to the R8, this Audi supercar does not simply replace an icon, it redefines Audi’s vision of high-performance driving. More than a vehicle, it stands as a statement of design and technology, where form adopts a new level of discipline: taut surfaces, monolithic volumes and lines shaped with almost architectural precision. The result is a clear departure from an era dominated by organic forms, embracing a more geometric and assertive expression.
Limited to just 499 units, the Audi Nuvolari immediately becomes a rare contemporary collector’s piece. Its silhouette conveys a sense of controlled power: a compact visual structure sculpted to express both speed and stability. The design avoids unnecessary ornamentation, focusing instead on functional clarity, where every element follows a precise technical purpose rooted in Audi’s tradition of German engineering.
The Audi Nuvolari introduces Audi’s first high-performance hybrid supercar, delivering 1,001 PS. A configuration designed as a bridge between electrification and sporting DNA, supported by technologies directly inspired by Formula 1.
The driving experience is built around a new interpretation of dynamic control, featuring predictive quattro all-wheel drive and active aerodynamic management. The objective is no longer pure performance alone, but constant precision, where technology becomes an instrument of complete mastery.
The interior follows the same philosophy of refined minimalism. The cabin is entirely focused on the driver, with a clean and sophisticated environment designed to prioritise clarity, concentration and connection with the machine.
With the new Audi Nuvolari supercar, Audi introduces far more than a new flagship model. It opens a new chapter for the four rings, where the legacy of the R8 meets a radically contemporary vision of performance, design and innovation.
Ferrari HC25 — a one-off masterpiece redefining the F8 Spider
The Ferrari HC25 represents one of the most exclusive expressions of Maranello’s craftsmanship. Created through the Ferrari One-Off Special Projects programme, this unique Ferrari supercar transforms the F8 Spider into a completely bespoke creation. Developed in close collaboration with its owner and the Ferrari Centro Stile, it retains the mechanical foundation of Ferrari’s final non-hybrid mid-rear-engined V8 Spider while introducing an entirely new visual identity.
The silhouette is defined by a powerful graphic statement: a central black band running across the entire bodywork, visually separating the car into two distinct volumes. This continuous element integrates the air intakes and flows into the redesigned rear window, giving the profile an architectural quality and a stronger sense of movement.
The design language of the Ferrari HC25 enters into dialogue with the marque’s latest creations, including the F80 and 12Cilindri. At the front, the dark horizontal element across the bonnet introduces a new interpretation of Ferrari’s volumes, while the bespoke headlights adopt a slimmer, more technological signature. At the rear, elongated light elements merge into a full-width graphic treatment, enhancing the car’s stance and visual presence.
Inside, the bespoke approach continues with a refined cabin atmosphere highlighted by yellow accents inspired by the exterior details. Every element contributes to a coherent composition, extending the design philosophy of the bodywork into the driving environment.
With the Ferrari HC25, Ferrari once again demonstrates the creative freedom offered by its One-Off programme. More than a unique Ferrari supercar, it is a personalised work of automotive design, the result of a collaboration between Maranello’s expertise and an owner’s individual vision.
