Autoworld presents the pop-up exhibition Aston Martin – Elegance in Motion from Friday 24 April to Sunday 21 June 2026. Through a selection of around fifteen exceptional vehicles, the museum takes visitors on a journey through the rich history of a brand that is globally synonymous with elegance, sportiness and refinement.  Among the cars on display are a rare 1925 Side Valve, a DB1 Spa commemorating the victory of Horsfall and Johnson, and the elegant DB2/4 that once belonged to King Baudouin. The 1950s and 1960s are represented by iconic models such as the DB3, DB4 and the legendary DBR4 Formula One car.

Toyota Automobile Museum Opens New Special Exhibition: "Engineers Who Created Passion – Japanese Cars and Motorcycles of the '80s and '90s" In the 1980s and '90s, Japanese cars and motorcycles underwent significant evolution thanks to the challenges of engineers. This special exhibition shines a spotlight on the engineers who poured their passion into vehicle development, showcasing 7 cars and 10 motorcycles, a total of 17 vehicles.

The homologation of the Porsche 935 exactly 50 years ago marks the moment when an idea became a fully-fledged racing machine. For the first time, Porsche brings together five key evolutionary stages of the 935: the original homologated 1976 model, the further-developed 935/77, the radical 935/78 “Moby Dick,” the compact 935 “Baby,” and an internal development prototype that was later used in a record attempt in cycling.  These five cars demonstrate just how rapidly the concept evolved from year to year.

Fratelli Cozzi Museum, which is dedicated to Alfa Romeo inaugurated a new area to the museum. As Elisabetto Cozzi explains: "this is a somewhat different space: not simply an extension of the exhibition area, but a place dedicated to “doing.” While the museum is a place to observe, the Museo_Officina, as it is called, is a place to engage and create". This is a hands-on space, where visitors will be able to follow how the cars are being restored and prepared. There is also an area where several spare parts are displayed, retained through the decades in the renowned Fratelli Cozzi dealership.

Between 18 April and 22 November the ninth special exhibition will take place at Fehr Classic Cars Museum in Wiener Neustadt, which is dedicated to historic state limousines and offers a unique perspective on contemporary history. The vehicles reflect social and political developments, lending the exhibition particular relevance. The selection, curated by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Brandstetter, impresses with its diversity and representativeness.

A true piece of motorsport history has arrived at MAC Museum Art & Cars: Hans Herrmann's original Mercedes-Benz 300 SLR. From March 21st to May 31st, 2026, visitors have the unique opportunity to experience this iconic vehicle up close at the museum. The 300 SLR is considered one of the most fascinating racing cars of all time: developed in the mid-1950s, based on the technology of the legendary Mercedes-Benz W196. With its lightweight magnesium body, a powerful 8-cylinder in-line engine, and innovative features like the air brake, it was far ahead of its time.

One significant gap in Sydney Bus Museum's collection is a Leyland Royal Tiger Cub. An opportunity has now arisen to purchase former m/o937. This is a 1964 Royal Tiger Cub with a Commonwealth Engineering body. The museum needs to raise $20,000 to purchase this bus. It is launching an appeal towards funding this purchase. Can you help? The museum need to raise donations towards the purchase of this bus.

In the 1960s, Neil Armstrong and fellow astronauts drove Corvettes through a special GM lease program arranged by Chevrolet dealer Jim Rathmann, himself an Indy 500 winner. For about $1 a year, astronauts could drive America’s Sports Car, making Corvettes a common sight at Cape Kennedy. Armstrong chose this 1967 Sting Ray, now on display at the National Corvette Museum with its original 427 V8 and Marina Blue paint, connecting today’s Moon mission to the road that got us there.

Great British Car Journey is delighted to announce that not one, but two Horstman cars from 1920s are now part of its collection. The first, on loan for the past eighteen months, is the sole surviving Super Sports model, believed to be one of at least twelve built between 1921 and 1925. Powered by a Coventry Simplex engine, it was laid up after heavy competition use before being restored in the 1960s. The second, built in 1924, spent decades in New Zealand before being repatriated in 2011 by the granddaughter of Horstman partner John Rooke. Remarkably, just three days after it was shipped, the Christchurch earthquake destroyed the garage it had been stored in.

Historic Attractions has just added the Ice Princess XF58 to its collection. Built in 1987 by Richard Fletcher, this car looks like a spaceship from an old sci-fi movie. It uses the nose of a 1950 Studebaker but turns it into something totally wild. It is 20 feet long and has six wheels - with four of them right in the front! With its giant tailfins and two glass bubble roofs, it is unlike anything else in the museum.

Gallery 275 has recently added a freshly-restored 1975 Honda CB500T to its collection. It bears a close resemblance to the model from which it was derived - the later 5-speed version of the CB450 which was discontinued in 1974. The engine is an air-cooled 498 cc (30.4 cu in) double overhead cam (DOHC) vertical parallel twin with 180° crankshaft angle, and torsion bar valve springs. The air/fuel mixture is delivered by two 32 mm Keihin Constant Velocity (CV) carburetors. The transmission is a 5-speed.
