<h3 dir="ltr">Dua Lipa’s Custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS: A Powerhouse Designed for a Cause <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeycTqBBT3_ekEPEFbfq5PdSdWB0pG1pWDNtV_KLwBip0PfdDCirbFJjAIAbejd9KlVrqcNL-EvAU5TTXsPVOUPKOBY7WQMz8RSRU3eV4bljsUEeawR-nAY1t-BKvylyKBAFe1VDw?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA"> </h3>
In an exciting fusion of music, style, and high-performance engineering, Dua Lipa has partnered with Porsche to create a one-of-a-kind 911 GT3 RS that’s hitting the auction block—and it’s more than just a collector’s dream. This isn’t your typical Porsche, nor was it just designed by a prolific car collector; instead, it’s the result of an exclusive collaboration between the pop superstar and Germany’s premier sports car brand.
<h4 dir="ltr">A Visual Masterpiece with Purpose</h4>
Dubbed the ‘Dua Lipa Rennstall GT3 RS,’ this bespoke machine boasts a bold, eye-catching livery inspired by her vibrant style—striking turquoise, red, gold, and dark green accents that seem to race right out of the track-from notable Porsche racing liveries from decades past. Originally painted Arctic Grey from the factory, Dua’s input transformed it into a color-blocked showstopper, echoing her retro-inspired musical hits and energetic performances.
The look is flamboyant, fun, and unmistakably Dua, with ‘Dua Lipa Rennstall’ lettering across the sides and hood. Its performance specs match its eye-catching design: equipped with the Weissach Pack, Clubsport Package, Porsche Ceramic Brakes, and a front-axle lift system, making it a bona fide track-ready beast. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXe-6YnVeVAmbB0ScwTbU9UuZ3ZeIZggcs30PM4ZlQYtOBPBv21oNhQ4On18AN4DgyFNUA34Q9A8dOoRRflZcI0SvQ5QRkYGgeDqdNoMqSsZ4xRhVdwiVD2ULMoWXoyzNYmvdDLd0g?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA">
<h4 dir="ltr">A Rich Blend of Style and Substance</h4>
While the exterior is a feast for the eyes, the interior balances performance with subtle sophistication. Black leather with red stitching, a red tachometer, and carbon fiber accents give the cabin a sleek, driver-focused vibe—a space that clearly understands speed is art in motion.
The car has been driven actively — seen cruising Monte Carlo streets during the Monaco Grand Prix weekend, with only around 3,270 miles on the odometer. It’s clear this is a car that’s been designed to perform, not just collect dust. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfKpUFPKnyqZcA-EXhBm4fPC1hbVeITAaLSI8rMH181DzJXqLftY8eZv5tN6uul1gy7vn_Wr3bF9UckK_rayiyzO0_H1ahXcE1t0d4A2R7X9JIOOsZXh0FjW17OEMPZHL9VaAP-vA?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA">
<h4 dir="ltr">Drive Change, Make a Difference</h4>
What makes this Porsche even more exceptional is the story behind it. All proceeds from the upcoming auction will benefit the Sunny Hill Foundation, a charity founded by Dua Lipa focused on supporting arts, culture, and education initiatives in Kosovo. With an estimated sale price of over $470,000, this car represents a rare opportunity to own a hypercar with purpose—a vehicle that’s both a display of speed and a vessel for positive impact.
<h4 dir="ltr">Limited, Bold, Meaningful</h4>
Live now on RM Sotheby’s from July 12 to July 31, 2025, this exclusive Porsche is suitable for enthusiasts, collectors, and fans who want their high-performance ride to also tell a story of creativity and charity. And if you happen to tell people the Porsche cruising Monaco was driven by Dua herself? Well, that’s just the icing on the turbocharged cake. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcEBaLwtcrOLb-AdviRf6_X67FHonxVJ8w5j3Qw7ArJod6Xp2NweLvmwQVVaqUCa-RMFcfy3QLLtYEwuS2Yc_Ft7GO5g1c-r_NxMPLz8nEqMrPIZryeeQvOgq1zZnxj6Aavyye-?key=cOLxrzVTrzgniLpbSKbSiA"> 
 
<h3 dir="ltr">Final Thoughts</h3>
This collaborative effort between Dua Lipa and Porsche is a perfect example of luxury brands leveraging their power to foster positive change. As this rare Porsche hits the auction block, it reminds us that sometimes, the most meaningful journeys are those that leave a lasting impact.

Dua Lipa’s Custom Porsche 911 GT3 RS: A Powerhouse Designed for a Cause

Have you ever found yourself mesmerized by the sight of a sportscar flying by, tearing through the air with the same ferocity as a fighter jet? This striking similarity is far from coincidental. Beyond the basic utility of typical sedans, there exists a realm of supercars where the influence of aviation is unmistakably evident. 
 
Seemingly, the most exhilarating car designs find their muse in the high-flying world of aviation, capturing the essence of its streamlined silhouettes, adrenaline-charged speeds, and a penchant for defying conventional limits. We've curated a list of 5 such supercars, each embodying this remarkable synergy, while narrating their unique journey from the tarmac to the skies.
 
Pagani Huayra Tricolore
 
 
<img src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Screenshot_2023_11_17_at_12_20_55_AM_b38939b980.png" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-17 at 12.20.55 AM.png">
 
Following the Zonda Tricolore's legacy, Pagani introduced the Huayra Tricolore, an even more distinguished version in 2020, inspired by the Italian Air Force's aerobatic team. Drawing design cues from the Aermacchi MB-339A PAN jets, capable of speeds over 550 mph, the Huayra Tricolore owes its extreme lightness from integrating advanced composite materials and cutting-edge aviation technologies during production.
 
The Huayra Tricolore is distinctly Italian, evident in its blue carbon fiber body and the tricolor stripe that echoes the aircraft's design. Under the hood, the Huayra Tricolore houses a twin-turbo 6.0-liter V12 engine from Mercedes-AMG, boosted to produce 829 horsepower and 811 lb./ft. of torque. Its light 2,800-pound weight ensures blistering speed, complemented by a chassis enhanced with composite materials for increased rigidity.
 
Pagani has meticulously refined the Huayra's styling for optimal aerodynamics, featuring a complex front splitter, propeller-inspired wheels, and a large rear diffuser integrated with the rear wing, harmonizing increased downforce. The interior matches the exterior's flair, with white and blue leather seats adorned with Italian flag stripes and the Tricolori logo, while the aluminum gear shifter and other elements are finished in anodized blue.
 
This hypercar, with its <a href="https://www.cnet.com/roadshow/news/pagani-huayra-tricolore-hypercar-italian-air-force/">$6.7 million price tag</a>, pays homage to the Italian Air Force in a limited run of only three units. Each model is uniquely numbered to correspond with the formation leaders of the Frecce Tricolori.

Lamborghini Reventón
 
 
 
<img src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Screenshot_2023_11_17_at_12_04_45_AM_e04cc9d873.png" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-17 at 12.04.45 AM.png">
 
Hailing as a rare gem from the 2000s, the Lamborghini Reventón was a marvel of its time, with only <a href="https://www.hotcars.com/ranking-the-10-best-cars-inspired-by-airplanes/#lamborghini-reventon">20 units ever produced.</a> This model, an evolution of the Murciélago, offers a transformative body design and a modernized interior, marking it as a standout piece in automotive history.
 
Diverging from the Murciélago’s sleek contours, the Reventón draws its bold, angular aesthetic from the world of stealth fighter jets, reminiscent of the F-117 Nighthawk and F-22 Raptor. However, its homage to aviation extends beyond the external design. The highlight of the Reventón is its dashboard, ingeniously designed to echo the glass cockpits found in contemporary fighter jets.

Koenigsegg Agera RS Draken
 
 
<img src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Screenshot_2023_11_17_at_1_14_00_AM_0f8cc240d5.png" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-17 at 1.14.00 AM.png">
 
Nestled in a hangar that once housed Saab Viggen fighters, the Koenigsegg Agera RS Draken serves as a tribute to the legendary Saab Draken, Sweden's most celebrated fighter jet. This <a href="https://www.carscoops.com/2020/03/this-one-off-koenigsegg-agera-rs-draken-is-rather-special/">custom-spec</a>, the only one in existence, is adorned with Draken logos and silhouettes, echoing the jet's intimidating presence. What’s more impressive, with a staggering 1,341 horsepower, the Agera RS Draken’s acceleration could give a real fighter jet a run for its money right off the starting line. 
 
Carbon fiber is the star of this show, used extensively throughout the car - from the wings to the wheels, and even the custom "Draken" license plate. Opening the engine bay unveils a spectacle of carbon, a fitting backdrop for the car's twin-turbo V8 engine, a powerhouse borrowed from the <a href="https://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/a26408369/2018-koenigsegg-agera-rs-draken-for-sale/">astonishingly fast One:1</a>.

Rezvani Beast Alpha X Blackbird
 
 
<img src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Screenshot_2023_11_17_at_1_16_48_AM_27fa8e5e88.png" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-17 at 1.16.48 AM.png">
 
The Rezvani Beast Alpha, a relative newcomer to the elite world of boutique supercars, transforms into an even more formidable machine in its Alpha X Blackbird iteration. This model pays homage to the <a href="https://www.hotcars.com/ranking-the-10-best-cars-inspired-by-airplanes/#chevrolet-astro-iii">iconic SR-71 Blackbird</a>, the record-holder for the fastest jet aircraft ever manned. The Beast Alpha X Blackbird does more than just borrow the name; it channels the jet's unparalleled speed and agility. With a jaw-dropping 0-60 MPH sprint in just 2.9 seconds, an impressive 700 HP engine, and a featherlight total weight of just 2,150 lbs, this vehicle is a force to be reckoned with.

Lamborghini Egoista
 
 
 
<img src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Screenshot_2023_11_17_at_1_23_25_AM_9e7fb95491.png" alt="Screenshot 2023-11-17 at 1.23.25 AM.png">
 
Walter De Silva's vision for the <a href="https://www.topspeed.com/10-crazy-facts-about-the-117-million-lamborghini-egoista/#the-rear-end-of-the-egoista-is-wide-open-hellip-literally">Lamborghini Egoista</a> goes beyond the norms of supercar design. Inspired by the aerodynamic and intimidating nature of fighter jets, particularly the Saab Draken, the Egoista stands out with its aggressive look and focus on performance. Created to celebrate 50 years of Lamborghini, it's built with materials similar to those found in fighter jets, and sports a design reminiscent of the high-octane world of F1 racing.
 
The Egoista's unveiling was an event fitting for its grandeur. On May 11, 2013, at the finale of Lamborghini's 50th Anniversary Grand Tour, the supercar was presented in a dramatic fashion, with a stage transformed into a landing strip and a model in a flight suit ushering in the Egoista. This one-of-a-kind supercar’s value is estimated at an astonishing $117 Million, securing its place as the most expensive Lamborghini ever, and is proudly displayed in the Lamborghini museum in Sant'Agata Bolognese. Powering this beast is a 5.2-liter V10 engine, capable of delivering about 600 horsepower.
 
The name "Egoista" aptly translates to "<a href="https://www.jdpower.com/cars/shopping-guides/the-most-expensive-lamborghini-ever-produced">selfish</a>" in several romance languages, reflecting the car's design philosophy, as explained by Walter de Silva, who described it as the epitome of hedonism. The car, built for one, is a self-experience supercar, embodying the very essence of individual luxury and performance.
 
The exterior of the Egoista, inspired by the <a href="https://www.topspeed.com/10-crazy-facts-about-the-117-million-lamborghini-egoista/#the-rear-end-of-the-egoista-is-wide-open-hellip-literally">American Apache helicopter</a>, combines aluminum and carbon fiber to create a structure that's both lightweight and sturdy, enhancing its aerodynamic efficiency. The car features a futuristic, racing-inspired design, marked by sharp angles and a dominant silver and black color scheme, with striking orange highlights.
 
Inside, the Egoista showcases a fusion of luxury, speed, and comfort. The seat, resembling a military chopper's pilot seat, is adorned in vivid orange, adding to the car's luxurious feel. The entire cockpit is designed to mirror an aircraft's design, including a roof that slants upwards and a steering wheel resembling an aircraft's controls.

From High Speeds to High Skies: The Best Supercars Inspired by Airplanes

The World’s Most Expensive Car Collections: A Look Inside Automotive Luxury

Lewis Hamilton’s Shift from Cars to Art—and His Dream of an Iconic Ferrari F40 Lewis Hamilton, the legendary seven-time Formula 1 World Champion, has recently made headlines with a significant lifestyle change: he’s sold his entire car collection to focus more on his passion for art. Once celebrated for his impressive garage filled with rare, high-performance vehicles—including a Pagani Zonda 760 LH, Ferrari LaFerrari, McLaren P1, and even a 1995 McLaren F1—the British racing icon’s automotive chapter seems to have closed, at least for now.
 
Hamilton revealed that he no longer owns any cars, emphasizing his current interest in collecting art, which he considers more meaningful and lasting. However, despite his shift away from car collecting, he still harbors a deep admiration for one iconic Italian supercar: the Ferrari F40. This legendary machine, celebrated worldwide as a symbol of raw speed and design excellence, remains a dream car for him.
 
During recent interviews ahead of the 2025 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Hamilton was asked about his interest in future car acquisitions. His reply was telling: “I don't have any cars anymore... but if I was going to get a car, it would be the F40. But that’s a beautiful piece of art.” For Hamilton, the F40 isn’t just a supercar; it’s a piece of history and a work of art, embodying the perfect balance between engineering mastery and aesthetic brilliance. <img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_Lewis_Hamilton_1920x1080_01_697f2eff06.jpg" alt="Blog_Lewis Hamilton_1920x1080_01.jpg"> 
 
Throughout his racing career, Hamilton’s love for automobiles extended beyond just ownership—he’s been seen driving some of the most exclusive and legendary vehicles. Before selling his collection, he was reported to have owned a selection of irresistible machines valued at around $17.5 million, housed in his private garages in Monaco and Los Angeles. While his full collection has never been officially confirmed, these are the cars he's been spotted driving or has previously acknowledged owning:
 
- Pagani Zonda 760 LH  
- Mercedes-AMG Project One  
- Mercedes-AMG SLS Black Series  
- Mercedes-AMG GT R (F1 safety car spec)  
- Mercedes-AMG G63 6×6  
- Mercedes-Maybach S600  
- Ferrari LaFerrari  
- Ferrari LaFerrari Aperta  
- Ferrari 599 SA Aperta  
- 1966 Shelby Cobra 427  
- 1967 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (“Eleanor” replica)  
- McLaren P1  
- 1995 McLaren F1 (chassis 044)  
- Mini Cooper  
- Mercedes EQC  
  Interestingly, Hamilton’s true passion is motorcycles. He's often seen arriving at races on Italian superbikes such as his Ducati Panigale V4 S and a limited-edition MV Agusta F4 LH44, crafted in collaboration with the Italian manufacturer. Yet, despite his extensive collection of exceptional cars, Hamilton’s ultimate automotive dream remains the Ferrari F40. He’s even expressed a desire to design his own car, envisioned as an “F44”—a modern homage to the iconic F40, with a stick-shift gearbox and a focus on driving purity, which he plans to pursue in the coming years. 
<img style="max-width: 100%;" src="https://d2l6r91nnee1so.cloudfront.net/media/Blog_Lewis_Hamilton_1920x1080_03_1e97430c4d.jpg" alt="Blog_Lewis Hamilton_1920x1080_03.jpg">
 Hamilton’s evolving relationship with vehicles reflects his journey from adrenaline junkie to art aficionado. Even though he has stepped back from collecting cars, his admiration for the Ferrari F40 endures as a symbol of automotive artistry and engineering brilliance. Whether he will ever own one remains to be seen, but his passion for the classic Italian supercar is as strong as ever—proof that for him, some of the greatest machines are truly works of art.

Lewis Hamilton’s Shift from Cars to Art—and His Dream of an Iconic Ferrari F40

<h2 dir="ltr">Exciting Developments in the Hypercar World</h2>
The hypercar segment is continuously evolving, showcasing extraordinary innovations in design, performance, and technology. As we step into 2025, several noteworthy developments have emerged that highlight the latest and most exciting hypercars. From the much-anticipated debut of the Ferrari F80 at the renowned Cavallino Classic to the production launch of the Koenigsegg CC850, alongside rare finds like a 1996 Ferrari F50 hitting the market for over $5 million, as well as the rise of the electric hypercar, the YangWang U9, these stories encapsulate the essence and evolution of automotive excellence.
<h3 dir="ltr">Ferrari F80: Making Waves at the Cavallino Classic</h3>
The 2024 Cavallino Classic in Palm Beach, Florida, celebrated the crème de la crème of Ferrari's heritage and innovation, and the highlight of the event was undeniably the debut of the Ferrari F80 hypercar. With a breathtaking 1,200 horsepower, the F80 is the culmination of Ferrari’s commitment to performance and design excellence, paying homage to the brand's legendary models, including the 288 GTO, F40, F50, Enzo, and LaFerrari. <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXeyfk3f7sQ4XNS2R-8grkWRfTdARoTrTL1XQaXYNP6KtCkkBSNFEkeM7w-2-ZzNxdLHM6u3bIiFaNw9vdFQGO5979VLtIOQiDzAjvX0cB8Ds62MgygsoWCM0JfDX6Ufhc_XahLg?key=xct4bw22HJiFOqZ-aoaB8tDe" width="624" height="351"> 
The Cavallino Classic, known as the premier gathering for Ferrari aficionados, brought together collectors, enthusiasts, and luminaries from around the globe to celebrate the legacy of Enzo Ferrari. This year's event marked the 34th annual showcase, featuring not only the stunning F80 but also a plethora of meticulously restored and preserved Ferraris. The atmosphere was electric, filled with admiration for the craftsmanship and engineering that defines Ferrari. <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXdj_5NvrfcUKUF8JiEQp1ogoP3uZwA4cDfaZY7dF4lDL0rmTX-RjMrg0dXaMWBFLUj2RqSq9TVwE2iEL26GPevuVZnUNGUrWzfkkx6s58PtBy1QWh3fCa-K3Gv1ja_wI4q8PmS8?key=xct4bw22HJiFOqZ-aoaB8tDe" width="624" height="351"> 
Enzo Mattioli Ferrari, the great-grandson of Enzo Ferrari, graced the event, sharing his reflections on the importance of preserving the heritage of these remarkable vehicles. He emphasized how each vehicle has its own unique story, reminiscent of an Indiana Jones-like quest for history beneath every chassis and color. The historical significance of the vehicles on display, combined with the gathering of enthusiasts, created a romantic ambiance for lovers of the brand.
<h3 dir="ltr">Koenigsegg CC850: Entering Production</h3>
Hot on the heels of Ferrari's announcement, the Koenigsegg CC850, a hypercar that has garnered immense anticipation, has officially entered production. Originally unveiled at Pebble Beach in California in 2022, the CC850 stands as a tribute to Koenigsegg's first production car, the CC8S. This remarkable vehicle is powered by a 5.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8, delivering a jaw-dropping 1,353 horsepower. <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfPT6z6vPGyo5UUUJUn7MSJOP8bQZTBdLyh_9-2LCI4O22sxN3g1G1Zim1UKnImpFCXEJmp6ZeGKV10f4q_TuE0Xkzqa58G_fk_EoLRTzo9vHTU2UlsphZI_se7x3sD_EPdaasEOg?key=xct4bw22HJiFOqZ-aoaB8tDe" width="624" height="351"> 
The CC850's crowning achievement lies in its Engage Shift System (ESS) gearbox, a groundbreaking innovation that allows the driver to switch between a gated manual and a nine-speed automatic transmission within a single unit. This unique engineering feat simulates the thrill of a manual gearbox while offering the convenience of an automatic for cruising. Christian von Koenigsegg, the brand's founder and CEO, claims that this hypercar "must be the fastest manual car around a racetrack." <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXfxoQWPLGU4foHfYB8-er8JsAvNfPj816dgm3RV6Stixsnpv8R6oan6vYcQWWljAUkZBY7Yvc3CjkBOIwYTbvrKl3RdMD6h16p7LoV9a8majN1gfvFnwigcieLHl-2KwlxrT1ge?key=xct4bw22HJiFOqZ-aoaB8tDe" width="624" height="351"> 
Initially slated for a 50-unit run, the overwhelming demand for the CC850 has led Koenigsegg to increase production by an additional 20 units, showcasing the desirability of this engineering marvel. Each vehicle is crafted on Koenigsegg's bespoke production line in Ängelholm, Sweden, aptly named Reodor. With a price tag of approximately $3.1 million, the CC850 promises not only incredible performance but also exclusive status within the hypercar elite.
<h3 dir="ltr">A Rare Find: 1996 Ferrari F50 to Fetch Over $5.5M at Auction</h3>
In the realm of collectible hypercars, a rare 1996 Ferrari F50 has recently made headlines, as it is coming up for auction by RM Sotheby’s at ModaMiami this February. This piece of automotive history is anticipated to fetch upwards of $5.5 million on the auction block. Designed to commemorate Ferrari's 50th anniversary, the F50 represents a pivotal moment in the brand's history, combining F1 technology with road-going performance. Distinguished by a striking Rosso Corsa finish, this hypercar boasts a mid-mounted 4.7-liter V12 engine producing 513 horsepower and can achieve 0-60 mph in just 3.6 seconds, with a top speed of 202 mph. <img src="https://lh7-rt.googleusercontent.com/docsz/AD_4nXcuyWcuWNqZtN3yUHTzSzieQcG20-WS0tZ7rHAWrZovLBJlNe4nOFz3iu2-16IqCaVtwS4zGBQmdtVYIKLHTv0OlX70FYwvG8lNtzhvBpZhhmgDxpX3qB5YU1VIcsTKtXqxrlY2hA?key=xct4bw22HJiFOqZ-aoaB8tDe" width="624" height="351"> 
The allure of the F50 lies not only in its exceptional performance but also in its exclusivity—only 349 units were produced.
