Toyota LandCruiser 300 Series To Gain powerful hybrid powertrain
Toyota is ushering in a new chapter for its iconic LandCruiser, revealing the nameplate’s first-ever performance-oriented hybrid variant. Set to launch in Australia in the first half of 2026, the new LandCruiser pairs Toyota’s renowned hybrid expertise with the model’s legendary reputation for quality, durability, and reliability (QDR).
This landmark release represents a significant step forward in Toyota Australia’s multi-pathway strategy toward electrification—offering customers diverse powertrain options tailored to suit their lifestyles and driving needs.
Building on a hybrid legacy that began with the Prius in 2001, the new LandCruiser performance hybrid introduces a parallel one-motor system that delivers greater power and impressive towing capacity compared to the existing diesel lineup.
Sean Hanley, Toyota Australia Vice President of Sales, Marketing and Franchise Operations, said the new 300 Series variant brings a level of performance never before seen in the LandCruiser range.
“Australians have relied on the LandCruiser for decades to conquer the most remote parts of the country. Its capability and reliability are part of the national driving story,” Mr Hanley said.
“We’ve always committed to offering the right powertrains for our customers—and the arrival of the first performance hybrid LandCruiser will raise the bar for what our flagship four-wheel drive can do.”
Powering the new model is a 3.5-litre twin-turbo petrol V6 engine mated to a high-torque electric motor in a parallel hybrid setup. The result: increased output, enhanced smoothness, and exceptional drivability—on both sealed roads and rugged off-road tracks.
Tested in extreme conditions across the Middle East’s deserts and mountainous terrain, the hybrid system has been engineered to meet the LandCruiser’s legendary toughness. The electric motor also allows for refined throttle response and improved control across challenging landscapes.
More details about the performance hybrid LandCruiser will be announced closer to its local launch in 2026.

Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale Debuts
In a spectacular reveal on the eve of the 24 Hours of Le Mans, Ferrari introduced the 296 Speciale in the Piloti Ferrari configuration — the latest masterpiece of Ferrari’s Tailor Made programme. This exclusive model pays tribute to Ferrari's triumphs in the FIA World Endurance Championship (WEC), celebrating both the team's success and the passion of Ferrari client-racing drivers. The official debut took place at the legendary Circuit de la Sarthe, where the historic endurance race is set to unfold this weekend.
The Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale is a unique configuration, created exclusively for Ferrari clients involved in the brand’s official motorsport activities. Drawing inspiration from the 499P, Ferrari’s Hypercar that clinched the overall win at Le Mans 2023 and 2024 in the Hypercar category, the 296 Speciale reflects Ferrari’s racing legacy and the deep connection between the brand and its motorsport community.
Racing Heritage in Every Detail
Offered in four iconic, racing-inspired colours — Rosso Scuderia, Blu Tour De France, Nero Daytona, and Argento Nürburgring — the Piloti Ferrari 296 Speciale showcases a bold exterior livery, meticulously finished in Giallo Modena. Accentuating the racing aesthetic, the livery features a hand-painted WEC logo, the Italian flag on the front bumper, and a customizable racing number chosen by the client. The model revealed at Le Mans proudly displayed the number 51, the same number with which Alessandro Pier Guidi, James Calado, and Antonio Giovinazzi won the 2023 24 Hours of Le Mans — marking Ferrari’s official return to top-tier endurance racing.
Inside, the 296 Speciale honors Ferrari’s racing heritage with thermoformed black Alcantara® racing seats, complemented by fireproof fabric inserts from official drivers’ suits. The racing number is also displayed on the carbon fibre interior, while the footwell features customizable technical metal surfaces. Personalisation extends to a carbon identification plaque and a carbon-fibre door sill with an exclusive dedication chosen by the client.
A Benchmark in Performance and Design
The 296 Speciale represents Ferrari’s ultimate evolution of the mid-rear-engined berlinetta, offering an unrivalled driving experience. At the heart of the model lies a plug-in hybrid powertrain, combining a 120-degree twin-turbo V6 engine and an electric motor, delivering a staggering 880 cv. The internal combustion engine (ICE) has been lightened and reinforced with Formula 1-derived components, while the 8-speed DCT transmission has been optimised with Ferrari’s fast shift strategy, maximising electric torque for an even more engaging drive.
With a 20% increase in aerodynamic downforce compared to the 296 GTB, the 296 Speciale is lighter, faster, and more agile, ensuring precise and responsive track behaviour. Radical design elements, including rear gamma wings, suspended splitters, and an enlarged diffuser, infuse the car with a purposeful, racing-inspired aesthetic.
Ferrari’s Triumphant Return to Le Mans with the 499P
The 499P is Ferrari’s Hypercar that marked the brand’s highly anticipated return to the FIA World Endurance Championship in 2023, after a 50-year hiatus. With a carbon-fibre monocoque chassis and double wishbone suspension, the 499P boasts a hybrid powertrain that combines a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 with a front electric motor, delivering around 680 cv and active all-wheel drive above 190 km/h. This powerhouse secured victories at Le Mans 2023 and 2024, cementing Ferrari’s legacy at the iconic endurance race.
Ferrari Tailor Made: The Pinnacle of Personalisation
Ferrari Tailor Made is the ultimate bespoke programme for Ferrari clients who seek a car that reflects their individual tastes and character. Through this exclusive service, clients are guided by a team of expert designers who bring their vision to life while upholding Ferrari’s impeccable aesthetic standards.

BMW M2 CS Coming to Australia in 2025
BMW Australia has confirmed the all-new BMW M2 CS will arrive locally in late 2025, adding serious performance and exclusivity to the M2 line-up. Following recent CS models like the M3 CS and M4 CS, this new variant is lighter, faster, and more track-focused than the standard M2.
Key Highlights:
More Power: The M2 CS features an upgraded 3.0L twin-turbo inline-6 producing 390kW and 650Nm, matching the M3/M4 Competition xDrive figures and outpacing the standard M2 by 37kW and 50Nm.
Faster: 0–100km/h in 3.8 seconds, with a top speed of 302km/h thanks to the standard M Driver’s Package.
Lighter: 30kg weight reduction via carbon-fibre-reinforced plastic (CFRP) components and forged wheels.

Built in Mexico at BMW Group Plant San Luis Potosí.
A Sharper, Lighter, Louder M2
The CS badge on any BMW M car brings with it an expectation of enhanced performance—and the M2 CS doesn’t disappoint. With a 30kg drop in weight, thanks to the use of CFRP body panels and interior trim, plus lightweight forged wheels, this special edition is sharper in every direction. It's also the first of the second-gen M2s to drop below the 4-second mark in the sprint to 100km/h, stopping the clock at just 3.8 seconds.
Pair this with the 390kW straight-six, shared with the M3/M4 Competition, and the M2 CS becomes the most potent version of the compact M platform yet. Power is delivered exclusively to the rear wheels via the 8-speed M Steptronic transmission with Drivelogic, giving drivers full control of how aggressively or smoothly shifts are handled.
Built for the Track, Enjoyed on the Street
BMW has tuned the adaptive M chassis, springs, dampers, and stability control systems specifically for the CS model. The suspension has been lowered by 8mm, while the M Sport differential and integrated braking system have been refined for sharper cornering response and more precise control at the limit.
While M Compound brakes come standard, track-focused buyers can spec M Carbon Ceramic Brakes for an additional $19,000—a serious bit of kit for serious drivers. And if you're into telemetry, BMW’s M Drift Analyser and 10-stage M Traction Control let you dial in your setup or study your hot laps down to the degree.
CS Style Inside and Out
Visually, the M2 CS stands out with matte black accents, carbon fibre trim, and its signature ducktail spoiler integrated into the CFRP boot lid. Paint options include several bold no-cost choices, including BMW Individual Velvet Blue Metallic, exclusive to this market.
Inside, it’s all Alcantara, Merino leather, carbon, and motorsport inspiration. The heated M Carbon bucket seats feature removable headrests for track harnesses, while the M Alcantara steering wheel comes complete with red stitching and customisable M buttons. Even the door panels feature illuminated CS badging for that added drama every time you hop in.
