Polestar 6
If the Polestar 6 were a person, it’d wear sunglasses at night and still pull it off. Slated for a 2026 release, this all-electric roadster is set to combine drop-top thrills with Scandinavian cool. Based on the jaw-dropping Polestar O2 concept, it packs a dual-motor AWD setup expected to crank out 884 hp and rocket from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds.
It rides on Polestar’s custom aluminum platform and promises tight handling, elegant design, and guilt-free performance thanks to a 100% electric powertrain. Inside, expect minimalist luxury with cutting-edge tech. With only 500 numbered units in the launch edition, this is more than a car, it’s a collector’s item in motion.
Bugatti Tourbillon
The Bugatti Tourbillon isn’t just a hypercar, it’s mechanical poetry at 276 mph. Set to launch in 2026, this successor to the Chiron blends insane performance with delicate craftsmanship. At its heart is a naturally aspirated 8.3-liter V16 engine, developed with Cosworth, paired with three electric motors to produce a staggering 1,800 horsepower.
That means 0–62 mph in around two seconds and a top speed flirting with 276 mph. Despite all that muscle, it's lighter than the Chiron thanks to carbon composite construction and 3D-printed components. Inside, Bugatti goes full haute couture with a Swiss-watch-inspired analog instrument cluster framed by a fixed-hub steering wheel.
Only 250 will be made, with a starting price around $4 million, and every one will be spoken for.
