The Type Sigma hides every seam, every panel gap, every hint of how it might actually be built. The body looks like a single piece of fabric pulled taut over a frame, finished in matte gray that emphasizes form over finish.

Project Nightingale marks a bold departure for Rolls-Royce, introducing an open-top, electric, ultra-luxury two-seater that has no direct rivals in the market.

The 2026 Stingray is the first version of this car where the design language inside matches the sculptural ambition of the body. Everything before this was a supercar exterior with a parts-bin cockpit. That tension is finally resolved.

I think everything starts for me with authenticity. Collaborating with a brand like Porsche is such a great privilege. I'm a huge fan to start with, but it's authentic because my passion for the brand goes as far back as I can remember.

The project was originally intended to be much less, simply a garage for the owners' current beloved collection of five Porsches-two convertibles, a coupe, an SUV, and an electric sedan. But as they started talking, says lead architect Carl Baker, the mission crept to include "the ability to indulge all of their hobbies."

What the bikes lacked in horsepower against the Kawasakis and Ducatis, they more than recovered in stability and handling. On March 6, 1976, Butler & Smith rider Steve McLaughlin crossed the line first in the inaugural AMA Superbike Championship Series race, with teammate Reg Pridmore a photo finish behind him.

The newly unveiled car is ultra-agile thanks to the weight reduction achieved by shaving off components like the skid-control, torque-vectoring, or automatic brake-assist. It doesn't even have power steering, and gives buyers the option to skip the air conditioning unit for weight reduction, making it the ideal fit for raw purists who want to feel every little change happening in the driving dynamics.

The original 300 SL Uhlenhaut Coupe, the racing variant that never made it to public roads, remains one of the most valuable cars ever auctioned, fetching $143 million at a 2022 Sotheby's sale. So when concept designer Gabriel Naretto decided to name his reimagined Mercedes-AMG shooting brake after the man himself, the pressure to deliver something worthy of that legacy was immense.
