Alpine quotes a sizeable 345-mile range for its mid-spec A390 GT, which on the face of it sounds like a solid reserve of energy that can be used to enjoy the myriad boons this big blue spaceship offers. Of course, TopGear.com’s particular A390 GT isn’t really ‘mid-spec’ anymore, because it’s wearing around £11k worth of…

The Puma is a small crossover based on the Fiesta (RIP), a car we liked very much. The styling is softer than the previous era of Fords, with gently curved sides sitting below a waistline that’s visually lengthened by a black strip at the base of the screen pillar. This draws your eye back horizontally from…

This is called, quite simply, the ‘V12 Roadster’, largely because a) it has a V12, and b) it’s very much a roadster. It’s been built by a company called Eccentrica, which specialises in restoring and updating Lamborghini’s Nineties leviathan into something worth over a million quid. We do not yet know how much this’ll go…

Perhaps the messaging wasn’t clear enough. Maybe you were too distracted by the Germans and Italians. Perchance you were too busy living vivid and deleting ordinary. In short, Jaguar is building a shiny new EV. Previously called ‘Type 00‘, it shall in fact be called the ‘Type 01’ – representing a fresh start for the…

You missed the launch of Aion in the UK earlier this year, didn’t you? You’re completely forgiven, because it was yet another Chinese brand arriving with a bland electric crossover. Boo. Things might be starting to get a little more interesting for the GAC-owned firm though, because it has just confirmed orders are set to…

This is the eighth-gen Vauxhall Astra. Some have been pretty good cars for their eras, others absolute donkeys. So past form is no guide to future performance. Besides, this is the first Astra to have been developed in Vauxhall-Opel’s post-GM era. This means it has a lot in common with the Peugeot 308 and the DS…

As we speak, the DS no.8 is currently having a service. Schedule clashes and timings meant it’s popped off fairly late, but nothing an EV can’t handle. So we’ll run through what’s actually been done next time. In the meantime, I’ve managed to get a DS No.4 E-Tense to sample more of the DS Automobiles…

Porsche isn’t building a true supercar right now. There’s an unsightly gap where the successor to the 918 Spyder should be. Into that vacuum, Porsche-adjacent companies are VERY happy to pour their idea of a 911-ish supercar. There’s the Kalmar 9X9. The Tuthill GT-One. The RML GTH. And the Singer DLS-T. And now there’s Marc Philip…

Yes, you’d like to just see the full, finished car in one go, but this is the game so we must play. You’ve seen the outside of the entirely delectable JAS Tensei here, here, definitely here, maybe also here, and now you can see inside the near-million-quid resto for the first time. JAS’s partner on…

While the all-electric Dodge Charger can make up to 670bhp with all the right buttons pressed, up until now the combustion-engined Sixpack has been limited to a maximum of 550 from its 3.0-litre twin-turbo inline-six. That’s about to change, because the Super Bee is back. Yep, the winged insect graphics – first used on a…
