Ferrari recently achieved a significant victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans with its 499P LMH model, which took home the overall win. Following this success, the Italian automaker has unveiled plans to produce a limited number of a track-focused version called the 499P Modificata, as part of its new Sport Prototipi Clienti program.
The 499P Modificata is set to be an even more extreme track car compared to its Le Mans-winning counterpart. Ferrari has plans to build a limited number of these exclusive models, catering to the demands of performance enthusiasts and collectors alike.
Not to be outdone, Mercedes-Benz AMG also introduced their own track-only car with the launch of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz AMG GT2 Pro. This high-performance machine is based on the outgoing GT sports car but pushes the boundaries even further due to its lack of regulations to meet. With a power output of 750 horsepower, this machine boasts impressive capabilities.
Acura also unveiled updates for its 2024 TLX. While the changes include significant technological and feature enhancements, there is no increase in horsepower. The TLX remains a high-performance luxury sedan that caters to drivers seeking a balance of comfort and sportiness.

Meanwhile, Mercedes-Benz is working on a facelift for its iconic G-Class, with a prototype of the updated model spotted in recent spy shots. Although details about the changes remain scarce, rumors suggest that the regular G-Class may no longer offer a V-8 engine option, leaving it exclusive to the AMG variant.
Another highly anticipated car spotted testing is the 2024 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Germany’s Manthey-Racing was seen testing some upgrades for this 992-generation model. The test vehicle featured a massive rear wing with a central stabilizing fin that extended all the way to the rear windshield. The GT3 RS promises to be an exhilarating track-ready machine for enthusiasts.
Car enthusiasts were also captivated by Ringbrothers’ latest creation, a modified 1969 Dodge Charger named the Tusk. This custom-built muscle car houses a powerful 1,000-horsepower Hellephant engine and showcases the company’s craftsmanship and attention to detail.
In addition to these exciting releases and developments, we had the opportunity to test drive the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat. With Stellantis discontinuing the production of the Hellcat supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine at the end of the year, the Durango SRT Hellcat represents one of the last vehicles to feature this iconic powertrain. It offers impressive performance and is a true testament to the capabilities of this powerful engine.
Overall, the automotive industry continues to provide thrill-seeking enthusiasts with remarkable machines that push the boundaries of performance and design. From Ferrari’s championship-winning 499P LMH and the exclusive 499P Modificata, to Mercedes-Benz AMG’s track-oriented GT2 Pro, and the updates from Acura, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Ringbrothers, there is no shortage of excitement in the world of automobiles. Additionally, the 2023 Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat serves as a fitting tribute to the legendary Hellcat engine, ensuring that enthusiasts can continue to experience its power and performance for years to come.
