Amsterdam, Netherlands – Lotus honours one of the greatest drivers of all time with the introduction of the Emira Clark Edition, in collaboration with the Jim Clark Trust. This exclusive model, limited to just 60 cars for selected markets, will make its world debut leading at the Formula 1 Miami Grand Prix.
The legacy of Jim Clark and Team Lotus is forever etched into the history of motorsport. In 1965, Clark secured the Formula 1 World Championship with Team Lotus and triumphed in the iconic Indianapolis 500 — a remarkable double victory that remains unmatched to this day. That same year, Clark further demonstrated his extraordinary talent with championship victories in Formula 2 and the Tasman Series in Australia and New Zealand, as well as winning touring car races in a Lotus Cortina.
This unparalleled success story serves as the inspiration behind the creation of the Lotus Emira Clark Edition — a fitting tribute to a driver whose achievements continue to define excellence and innovation in racing.
Exclusive design and interior The body of the exclusive Emira is finished in Clark Racing Green with a contrasting black roof, silver mirrors and an iconic yellow racing stripe flared around the front end, inspired by Clark’s 1965 Indianapolis 500-winning Lotus Type 38. A machined aluminium fuel filler cap with a blue anodised centre and yellow exhaust pipes further enhance the exclusive look. A hand-painted yellow pinstripe picks out the Emira swage line, complemented by Clark Edition branding on the doors inspired by the Clark logo used on his racing cars.
The interior exudes pure motorsport and nostalgia. The sports seats’ asymmetrical finish is reminiscent of the red-trimmed Lotus racing cars Clark drove in 1965 and emphasise the driver-focused nature of the Emira Clark Edition with a driver’s seat upholstered in red leather and Alcantara®, while the passenger seat is upholstered in black leather and Alcantara®.
The Emira Clark Edition also has a sixties-style wooden gear knob and special commemorative Jim Clark badging featuring Clark’s personalised tartan from Lochcarron, Scotland. Additional details complement the interior, including a Jim Clark signature on the dashboard and Team Lotus detailing on the seats.
Every Emira Clark Edition will have numbered carbon fibre treadplates (1 of 60) adding to the exclusive feel of this very limited edition. Each customer will also receive a bespoke hand-crafted leather holdall with unique Clark Edition details.
Based on the powerful Lotus Emira V6 The Emira Clark Edition is based on the Lotus Emira V6 and combines the brand’s sporting performance with a stylish tribute to the Scottish racing legend and his Lotus racing cars. The Lotus Emira V6 is powered by a 400 hp supercharged 3.5-litre V6 engine with a six-speed manual gearbox and limited-slip differential. The Emira V6 offers a pure driving experience thanks to the unfiltered hydraulic steering feel and the Lotus Driver’s pack which includes sports suspension, Track Mode and revised exhaust sound.
A worldwide tribute to a racing legend With the Emira Clark Edition, Lotus pays tribute to one of the most iconic drivers in the history of motorsport. The combination of exclusive design and uncompromising performance makes this limited edition a coveted collector’s item for car enthusiasts worldwide.
The Emira Clark Edition pricing will be £115,000 in the UK (€140,000 in Germany).

Exclusive Olive Neo colour, historically inspired decorative graphics and legendary Pasha pattern in the interior: Porsche presents the 911 Spirit 70 at the Shanghai Auto Show, a convertible limited to 1,500 units that embodies the essence of the 1970s and early 1980s.
Created as part of the Heritage Design strategy, this collector’s item is the third 911 model in which Porsche has revived an era with the help of iconographic design elements from earlier vehicles. The technical basis for the 911 Spirit 70 is the current 911 Carrera GTS Cabriolet with efficient performance hybrid. In combination with the high-voltage system, the eTurbo and the electric motor in the new PDK, the newly developed 3.6-litre boxer engine achieves a system output of 398 kW (541 hp) and 610 Nm. The 911 Spirit 70 can be ordered immediately. It is expected to arrive at European dealerships from April 2025, with other markets to follow.
“The Heritage Design models occupy a special position within our product strategy from a design perspective,” says Michael Mauer, Vice President Style Porsche. “The limited-edition sports cars visualise what makes the Porsche brand so special. Every design of our vehicles ties in with our history – these vehicles go one step further. They show how we reinterpret historical design elements in a state-of-the-art sports car.”
“The limited-edition collector’s items are particularly desirable for our customers worldwide,” says Alexander Fabig, Vice President Individualisation and Classic. “The first two models in the Heritage Design strategy have brought back the lifestyle of past decades and generated a great deal of enthusiasm. We are delighted with this success and are now proud to present the third, highly exclusive model.”
The Heritage Design models emphasise the ‘lifestyle’ dimension, which stands for particularly emotional concepts within the Porsche product strategy. The first model in the series was the 911 Targa 4S Heritage Design Edition presented in 2020 in the style of the 1950s and early 1960s. With the 911 Sport Classic, Porsche presented the second collector’s item from the Heritage Design strategy in 2022. This small series, limited to 1,250 units, revived the style of the 1960s and early 1970s.
The new 911 Spirit 70 pays tribute to Porsche’s enhanced corporate strategy. The sports car manufacturer wants to further expand its customisation options: Porsche already offers more than 1,000 Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur options. Over the past five years, the average sales per vehicle with Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur options have doubled. In order to fulfil even more individual customer dreams in the future, the capacity of the Exclusive Manufaktur is to be significantly expanded in the future.
Porsche Design has created a high-quality chronograph exclusively for buyers of the latest collector’s item. With numerous details, it is visually reminiscent of the 911 Spirit 70. For example, the shiny black Pasha pattern on the dial is inspired by the seat centre panel of its motorised role model.
The Porsche Lifestyle Collection matching the 911 Spirit 70 allows you to rediscover the 1970s in style and authenticity. The range of very special collector’s items includes a collection of daywear, sportswear, lifestyle accessories and model vehicles.
Exterior: Special colour concept and badges in historic style
The designers and paint experts at Porsche created the colour Olive Neo especially for the 911 Spirit 70 – a rich, deep green. Bronzite forms an exciting contrast to this colour. The lower rear section, the front section and the Sport Classic wheels in ‘Fuchs’ design are painted in this grey-gold colour. The soft top is black, as is the windscreen frame, emphasising the unique visual presence of the 911 Spirit 70.
Three decorative stripes in black silk gloss run across the bonnet. This detail is reminiscent of the safety stickers from the 1970s: back then, sports drivers applied longitudinal stripes to the bodies of their fast cars so that the sports cars were easier to see in the rear-view mirror at high speeds on the motorway or racetrack. The stripes are continued tone-on-tone on the soft top. The side decorative graphics with Porsche lettering and round start number field (‘Lollipop’) in black silk gloss and individual start number are a nod to the brand’s sporting tradition.
An example of the contrast between tradition and innovation can be found in the centre of the front bonnet: The 911 Spirit 70 bears a Porsche crest there that is almost identical to the historic crest from 1963. There are gold-coloured “Porsche Exclusive Manufaktur” badges on the front wings. The Porsche Heritage badge sits on the grille of the boot lid. Its design is reminiscent of the badge on the Porsche 356, which was awarded in the 1950s when the 100,000-kilometre mark was reached. Other unusual details include the gold-coloured Porsche lettering and the model designation at the rear. The lettering gets its extraordinary brilliance from the galvanised gold-plated surface.
Interior: With Pasha pattern and special instrument cluster
The highlight of the interior is the iconic Pasha fabric pattern in black/olive neo. The graphic design of the fabric is reminiscent of a moving chequered flag. Different sized, cleverly arranged rectangles create a kind of movement in the pattern. Instead of jacquard velour as in the past, the 911 Spirit 70 combines a textile with flock yarns. This gives the fabric an even sportier character, an improved feel and more comfort, especially on longer journeys.
The centre panels of the 18-way sports seats Plus, the door mirrors and even the inside of the glove compartment are covered in the Pasha pattern. The decorative inlays on the seat backrests and the trim on the dashboard are also available in Pasha as an option. The standard range also includes a reversible boot mat in Pasha. The elegant club leather trim in basalt black with decorative stitching in olive neo and the basalt black club leather interior package are also on board as standard.
The instrument cluster combines historic design with state-of-the-art technology. The high-resolution 12.65-inch display has white pointers and scale lines in analogue format. Green digits are reminiscent of the legendary Porsche 356 and the model lettering is elegantly integrated into the fully digital rev counter. White hands and green numerals also characterise the special version of the Sport Chrono stopwatch.
Time travel to the 70s
Additionally, Porsche is offering a new app for the Apple Vision Pro. This allows users to immerse themselves in the 70s and design their dream vehicle.
Step by step, they can customize the Porsche 911 Spirit 70 and gain valuable insights into the iconic designs of that decade. The app will be available for free in the App Store for the Apple Vision Pro coinciding with the launch of the Porsche 911 Spirit 70.

“My love for the outdoors has been a driving force behind both my personal passions and professional success. The inspiration for this commission came from a field of daisies on my favourite trail in the High Tatras mountains – a place I return to when I need to clear my thoughts. I’m continuously amazed not only by the beauty but the resilience of this flower that seems to thrive in the face of nature’s challenges. I envisioned Black Badge Cullinan Daisy as a symbol of perseverance – balancing strength with serenity”. Commissioning Client, Black Badge Cullinan Daisy “This commission challenged us to explore how natural motifs can be translated through craft and materiality. From the delicately etched Blackwood to the daisy detail hidden inside the umbrellas, we told the client’s remarkable story through unexpected textures and an entirely new palette. Black Badge Cullinan Daisy is quietly confident, rich in symbolism, yet modern in execution. It also represents a different kind of Bespoke languagewhere emotion is captured through restrained and thoughtful contrasts.” Martina Starke, General Manager, Bespoke Design, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars
Rolls-Royce Motor Cars presents its latest Bespoke commission, Black Badge Cullinan Daisy – a striking one-of-one Black Badge Cullinan Series II reflecting the commissioning client’s love of hiking and the outdoors. Drawing inspiration from a field of daisies on the client’s favourite trail in the High Tatras mountains, Black Badge Cullinan Daisy represents resilience and perseverance – much like a daisy that thrives in a variety of conditions. Commissioned by an individual who built their success in the outdoor and adventure equipment sector, Black Badge Cullinan Daisy symbolises their path to success.
EXTERIOR: BALANCING POTENCY AND RESILIENCE The daisy flower appears as a Coachline motif, meticulously hand-painted to complement the single Coachline applied over the Powder Blue Exterior. The subtle colour palette provides a striking contrast to the darkened Black Badge Pantheon Grille, Spirit of Ecstasy and exterior brightwork.
INTERIOR SUITE: ELEGANCE AND COMPLEXITY Inside, the daisy motif adorns the front fascia and the waterfall section between the rear seats. The design is meticulously applied to the Blackwood surface using a sandblasting technique. To create the design, the wood is subjected to a precision blasting process in which a stream of fine mineral particles is directed at the veneer, which delicately etches away microscopic layers of the surface. The interplay of light and shadow across the sculpted surface creates a three-dimensional effect, adding visual interest to the finished piece.
The Blackwood veneers are complemented by a subtle three-colour interior palette. The main leather hue is Fleet Blue, which extends to the Rotary Controls and B and C pillars. It is complemented by Selby Grey and Black leathers, with Fleet Blue seat piping and Selby Grey contrast stitching and headrest monograms. The interior is completed with Bespoke Illuminated Treadplates with a daisy design.
BESPOKE UMBRELLAS: FLOWERS IN THE RAIN The daisy motif also graces the inside of the Bespoke umbrellas concealed in Cullinan’s rear Coach Doors. The playful pattern can only be seen on the interior of the umbrellas, recalling the ambience of a daisy field in full bloom on a rainy day.
BESPOKE STARLIGHT HEADLINER: A WINDOW INTO THE HEAVENS Black Badge Cullinan Daisy is fitted with a Bespoke Starlight Headliner, capturing four of the great constellations that dominate the night sky in northern latitudes: Ursa Major, also known as the Great Bear, the Plough, and the Big Dipper; Ursa Minor, which includes Polaris, or the North Star; Gemini, clearly distinguished by the bright stars, Castor and Pollux; and Taurus, ‘the Bull’, identified by the red giant Aldebaran and the Pleiades star cluster.
RECREATION MODULE: ADVENTURES AWAIT Black Badge Cullinan Daisy is completed with a Recreation Module – an automatically-deployable storage compartment mounted on the luggage compartment floor, designed to house the client’s favourite hiking equipment.

Toyota Introduces GR Supra MkV Final Edition at Grand Prix of Long Beach
MkV Final Edition Features Optimized Tuning, Improved Braking and Chassis and Suspension Updates
3.0 and 3.0 Premium Grades Available
All Grades Offer 382 Horsepower with 368 lb-ft. of Torque
[source: Toyota]
LONG BEACH, CA – Born on the track, the GR Supra is a testament to Toyota’s commitment to motorsports-bred vehicle development, blending engineering excellence, innovation, and lessons learned from the most demanding conditions that only racing can provide. For the 2026 model year, Toyota celebrates this legendary sports car with the GR Supra MkV Final Edition.
In 2019, Akio Toyoda, aka Morizo, reintroduced the GR Supra to the world after a 17-year hiatus. Over the succeeding 6 years, the MkV generation has proven itself from the track to the city streets. To wear the GR badge, a vehicle must prove itself worthy of the marque through rigorous testing by Toyota GAZOO Racing engineers and countless hours on the track with Toyota’s drivers, including Morizo himself, behind the wheel. GR Supra has achieved success in some of motorsports’ most demanding series, including Formula Drift, Super Taikyu in Japan, and the Nürburgring 24 Hours.
In the spirit of kaizen, or continuous improvement, the GR Supra has been updated and enhanced each year in the current model cycle. This “always on” approach to vehicle development provides an avenue for lessons learned from motorsports to be applied to production models quickly and efficiently for the benefit of consumers. For 2026, the GR Supra MkV Final Edition aims to deliver a more integrated experience not only for circuits but also for the long and winding roads where sports car enthusiasts feel most at home. Improved braking performance, an updated suspension, increased body rigidity, optimized tuning, and enhanced aerodynamic performance inspire confidence and turn up the fun.
The GR Supra MkV Final Edition headlines a lineup that also features the GR Supra 3.0 and 3.0 Premium grades – all available with a manual or automatic transmission. Powered by an in-line six-cylinder turbocharged engine, the GR Supra puts out an impressive 382 horsepower and 368 lb.-ft. of torque.
Standard performance features include a double joint-type MacPherson front and multi-link independent rear suspension, sport-calibrated electronic power steering, and dual rear exhaust outlets. All models wear high performance Michelin® Pilot® Super Sport tires for maximum grip of the GR Supra’s rear-wheel drive platform.
The 2026 GR Supra is expected to arrive at Toyota Dealerships in Spring 2025. Production of the fifth-generation GR Supra will end Spring 2026.
MkV Final Edition For 2026, Toyota is introducing the GR Supra MkV Final Edition – celebrating the GR Supra that was reintroduced in 2019 after Akio Toyoda put together a small team to reimagine what we now know as GAZOO Racing’s flagship sports car. Born from hands-on testing at the Nürburgring, the MkV GR Supra delivers a powerful performance every time the driver gets behind the wheel.
The GR Supra MkV Final Edition offers an elevated driving experience with unique updates to this special edition. Differential control and exclusive control maps have been refined to help improve traction between the tire and the road surface, reducing understeer through turns. And for better braking control, larger Brembo brake discs have been added to the vehicle.
The GR Supra MkV Final Edition has suspension and chassis modifications that enhance stability and strengthen the direct connection to the road. Cornering grip is also increased due to a revised camber angle of the front and rear wheels which gives drivers improved cornering stability. Responsive electronically controlled shock absorbers have been revised and this combines with a stronger front stabilizer to help improve driving performance. A heightened sensation of suspension and body integration is achieved using strengthened rubber bushings for the front control arms and strengthened rubber mounts for the rear sub-frame while better grip and control also come with a stronger under-body brace.
Aerodynamic modifications, including a ducktail carbon fiber rear spoiler, front wheel arch flaps, and higher front tire spats further enhance handling, optimizing front/rear aerodynamic balance and downforce. Meanwhile, the optimized electric power steering delivers a more direct steering feel and improved control.
The distinctive, bold exterior appearance of the GR Supra MkV Final Edition is complimented by new 19-inch matte black wheels, the gloss-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, and gloss carbon fiber mirror caps. Inside the vehicle, the genuine leather-trimmed driver’s seat is upholstered in Alcantara and embroidered with the GR logo, while red stitching, red highlights around the gear shift knob, and red seatbelts accentuate the interior’s sporty feel. Customers can also expect a GR cupholder cover and a camo car cover with the vehicle.
Inspired by the GR Supra GT4 EVO2 race car that competes in GT4 category races all over the world, the GR Supra MkV Final Edition will also have a GT4 style pack* option that comes in two new exclusive matte colors: Burnout** and Undercover**. The style pack includes a GT4-inspired side graphic on the exterior, a matte-finished carbon fiber ducktail rear spoiler, a matte-black rear Supra emblem, and red mirror caps.
*The GT4 style pack will not be available until Fall 2025. **Extra-cost color.
High Performance Stand Out GR Supra’s 3.0-liter turbocharged inline six-cylinder engine provides exhilarating performance thanks to powerful torque high in the rpm range, delivering a 0-60 time of 3.9 seconds with the 8-speed automatic transmission (AT) and 4.2 seconds when equipped with the manual transmission (MT). AT models have a manufacturer-estimated 22 city/29 highway/25 combined fuel economy rating helped in part by standard start/stop technology, which shuts the engine off while the car is at rest.
The AT allows drivers to focus on the throttle and braking – opening up the possibilities for a thrilling time while driving. The MT features an Intelligent Manual Transmission (iMT) programmed with software that prioritizes sporty performance. When upshifting, the parameters are tuned to optimize engine torque at the moment of clutch engagement and release. On downshifts, the software includes rev-matching for consistent performance. The iMT is set as the default, but, if the driver prefers, it can be switched off in Individual Mode.
Drivers can select from Normal, Sport, and Individual modes that adjust throttle response, suspension damping, and power steering settings. Additionally, all grades include an Adaptative Variable Suspension (AVS) with sensors that constantly detect changes in driving operations and road surface conditions. Solenoid valves finely control the damping force of the shock absorbers. NORMAL mode provides a high-level balance between vehicle stability and supple ride comfort, enabling spirited driving without sacrificing comfort. SPORT mode realizes a reassuring and flat vehicle posture with suppressed roll and a more agile steering response.
Driver-Focused Sports Car Inside and Out The GR Supra is known for its bold and aggressive exterior that features a wide stance, sharp lines, and its distinct rear spoiler – providing excellent aerodynamics and performance. Available in Stratosphere*, Absolute Zero, Nocturnal, and Renaissance Red 2.0, the 2026 GR Supra will turn heads on the city streets.
On the inside, a refined cockpit design enhances the performance experience. The cabin’s minimalist layout prioritizes functionality and comfort. The 3.0 grade comes with standard black soft-touch Alcantara and leather-trimmed sport seats with power adjustment. The 3.0 Premium grade brings a luxury feel with power adjustable seats that come with an option of black leather-trimmed seats or a hazelnut-colored leather trim.

Porsche Centre North Toronto made waves this week when they shard photos of a recent 911 S/T arrival in their showroom. Specced by Marty @OneMan1138, this S/T is laden with Sonderwunsch special wishes touches in a way that’s highly attention-grabbing and likely also polarizing.
The basic specs provided by Porsche Centre North Toronto are these. The car includes 44 bespoke options, including most obviously the color scheme in Ultra Violet, Ruby Star Classic and Racing Yellow. As you can see from inside shots, the interior follows along on the colors and the theme.
First up, Porsche Ultra Violet (ultraviolett; non-metallic UNI; M4A / G7; Porsche) is a 911 GT3 RS color from the 991 era. Ruby Star Classic a.k.a. Rubystone Red (sternrubin; non-metallic UNI; 82N; Porsche) is effectively a hot pink that was a 964-era Carrera Cup color that has remained a cult classic since its inception. The two together are an interesting pair in their own right, though throw in Racing Yellow (renngelb; non-metallic UNI; 1S1 / P3; Porsche) and the net effect goes so much further.
The car, known as “ONEMAN”, isn’t for sale. We’re classifying it in our Market Find – Acquired Taste section in addition to color check because it is such an opinion-generating build. Congratulations to Marty on the new S/T. We hope it’s everything you expected, and it is truly unforgettable.
