Elon Musk caused quite a stir when he first revealed Tesla’s futuristic truck back in November 2019. The fully-electric truck has a claimed range of more than 805km but hasn’t reached production due to Covid-19 and Musk’s other ongoing projects.

Although the production date has been pushed back numerous times, the Cybertruck is expected to join the Model 3, Model S and Model X in 2023. It is unclear what specifications will be included in the Cybertruck, but the CEO has previously said the company is working on a new-generation air suspension with longer travel for off- road use.

Musk is known for making bold statements, but not always following through. However, he tweeted that the Cybertruck’s new suspension should “kick butt in Baja”. It was presumed that he was referring to Baja California, home of the famous Baja 500 and 1000 desert races, and regarded as one of the world’s toughest off-road races. As the company puts it, this new Tesla is “designed to have the utility of a truck and the performance of a sports car.” Let’s wait and see.

The world’s first production-ready solar-powered car is not cheap at US$254,000 (S$356,000), but an awful lot of research has gone into this vehicle. After six years of development, Lightyear finally unveiled this eco-friendly, sleek-looking car.

The Lightyear One is so advanced that in the right conditions it can go seven months without recharging, according to the Netherlands-based company. Its main selling point, however, is its 53 sq ft of solar cells covering its exterior, which Lightyear says can provide up to 70.8km of range per day in optimal weather conditions.

Lightyear’s testing found that a person with a commute of 35.4km or less could go two months without charging the solar electric car in a cloudy climate like the Netherlands. They could go for seven months if they lived somewhere sunny, like Spain.

Lightyear plans to start manufacturing the solar electric car by the end of this year. It plans to make less than 1,000 luxury EVs before shifting its focus to a more affordable Lightyear 2 in the next couple of years.

The world’s first all-terrain hypercar is here. The British-made Prodrive Hunter is powered by a 3.5-litre, V6 engine that produces a whopping 600bhp. It may not look like your average hypercar, but it can reach 100kmh in about four seconds.

Unveiled last year and simply called Hunter, it’s a heavily updated version of the Prodrive’s off-road racer, the Hunter T1+, which competed in the 2022 Dakar rally with nine-time World Rally Champion Sebastien Loeb at the helm.

Prodrive’s engineers loved the car so much that they decided to make a road-legal version that’s even faster than the rally car version, since it doesn’t need to conform to any racing regulations. While the Dakar car produces 400bhp, this road-legal model produces 600bhp.

However, the road-going Hunter’s suspension, brakes and space frame chassis are nearly identical to the race car. To make driving the T1+ easier, Prodrive swapped the six-speed manual sequential gearbox for a paddle shifter. And while it may still look very rugged on the outside, it has a more comfortable interior.

Gordon Murray is a world-famous designer whose credits include Formula One cars and the legendary McLaren F1 supercar. He also proposed using a carbon fibre chassis for a production car.

Niki Lauda, of course, is the legendary three-time F1 world champion who was Murray’s former teammate. Murray has already secured his place in supercar fandom with the T50, and his latest creation pays tribute to his friend Lauda, the only driver in F1 history to have been champion for both Ferrari and McLaren, who passed away in 2019.

And what better way to honour him than with an amazing-looking supercar that boasts a mammoth 3.9-litre naturally-aspirated V12 engine developed by Cosworth? It generates 725bhp horsepower and, surprisingly, only weighs 162kg for an engine that big.

The Gordon Murray Automotive team claims this latest T50 has the “lightest, highest-revving, most power-dense, naturally-aspirated V12 engine ever fitted to a road car”. With such claims, you can imagine this car goes very fast. It can reach 60mph in less than three seconds, just like a jet. Niki Lauda’s T50 will be limited to 25 and cost a cool £3.1m (S$5.1 million). Once Gordon Murray Automotive has finished its run of 100 T50 supercars, production will begin in January 2023.
