Dutch newcomer Sanrivatti has unveiled its One hypercar, featuring an unusual head-forward driving position inspired by motorcycling. Called the ‘Apex Position’, it places the driver further forward and centrally to improve visibility and involvement. The sketches suggest it’s a bit like a supercar you ride like a sports bike.

The One is being developed around a screaming 5.5-litre Judd V10, targeting 800hp and 700Nm of torque. A carbon-fibre monocoque, six-speed sequential gearbox and rear-wheel drive feature, with a target dry weight of 1,100kg and projected top speed of 330km/h.

British Porsche specialist Theon Design is celebrating its tenth anniversary with a bespoke 911 (964) restomod. Finished in Oak Green Neo Metallic with carbon-fibre bodywork, the latest commission weighs just 1,150kg and features a naturally aspirated 4.0-litre flat-six producing 419hp.

A five-speed manual gearbox, semi-active dampers and upgraded brakes complete the package.

Theon has also launched an online configurator and confirmed that its more extreme, 500hp-plus R model is now in build. Prices for its commissions start at about half a million Euro, excluding the donor car and taxes.

Opel Ireland has appointed AutoXpress on Dock Road, Limerick, as its latest dealer, with new passenger cars, commercial vehicles and parts arriving this month ahead of the 271-registration period.

Founded by Eddie Adomaitis and Janis Livdans in 2018 with a combined investment of €50,000, AutoXpress has grown into a business employing 28 people across Limerick and Galway, selling around €20 million worth of cars annually.

Dealer Principal Ger Cremins will oversee the new Opel operation.

Jaguar has unveiled its I-Type 08 Formula E racer for the championship's new Gen4 era. Featuring all-wheel drive, up to 816hp of power and 700kW of regenerative braking, the car is expected to accelerate faster than an F1 car.

Its striking French Ultramarine Blue livery references the new Jaguar Type 01 road car, which will supposedly benefit from technology developed through the racing programme.

Former Formula E champions António Félix da Costa and Stoffel Vandoorne will drive the new racer, which makes its track debut at pre-season testing in Madrid on 16-20 November.

Tatsuyoshi Ohmiya, an industrial design student at Japan’s Kanazawa College of Art and Design, has won the World Car Design Student Award. Judges praised his combination of visual appeal, practicality and clever use of space, drawing comparisons with the work of renowned car designer Frank Stephenson.
