This is the Cupra Raval, and there’s a hot version to rival the Alpine A290
After what feels like a decade of development, teasers and concept cars, Cupra has finally pulled the covers off its production-spec Raval, and strangely the shark-nosed face is really reminding us of the Porsche Macan Electric. Of course, at just 4m long the Raval is actually a teeny little EV supermini, and as much as…

Confirmed: BMW’s new iX5 Hydrogen will do 385 miles on a tank
BMW has shed a bit more light on its upcoming iX5 Hydrogen, confirming that the fuel-cell SUV will manage 385 miles of range between fill-ups.

Here are 28 of the longest-range electric cars you can buy in the UK today
We kick off with Volvo’s EX90, the electrified variant of the XC90. It’s the usual fare – chic Scandinavian style, seven seats, clever packaging – only in 450bhp twin motor guise it gets a giant 111kWh/107kWh skateboard battery (meaning a flat floor essentially) for up to 383 miles of range. If you’re in the market…

The last of the Bugatti EB112s is up for auction and could fetch £1.75m
Okay, so the Giorgetto Giugiaro styling is a little bit… controversial, but how could you not love the sheer weirdness of the four-door, four-seat Bugatti EB112? It’s peak 1990s. Of course, Bugatti itself only ever completed one prototype EB112 that went on display at the 1993 Geneva Motor Show. That one was finished in a…

Renault 5 – long-term review
Someone has nicked the rear number plate from TG’s long-term Renault 5. Argh! And perhaps even more frustratingly, we can only assume that it was done for a laugh, because if there’s one car we doubt anyone is looking to clone for criminal activity, it’s probably our bright yellow Renault 5. Anyway, you could say…

This is your Forza Horizon 6 world map and it’s, er, quite large
Playground Games have revealed the world map for Forza Horizon 6, releasing 19 May and bringing Japan to the series for the first time. It looks vast. It’s the “most dense and vertical” one yet, the developer says, and that boast does hold up to scrutiny. Prior instalments haven’t exactly shied away from expansive areas, but…

The hardest goodbye: selling TG’s Mk1 Mitsubishi Shogun
Renowned photographer Mark has been working with Top Gear for many, many years. When not taking photos he’s buying inappropriate cars. Here he shares his addiction with the world. When I was a child, my parents repeatedly told me there was no favourite between myself and my brother. Since I’ve become a parent however, I…

Noble M500 vs Lotus Emira: are old school sportscars better?
Rivals is probably a stretch for this one – the idea of cross shopping a Noble M500 and a Lotus Emira V6 SE at their relative price and power points something of a weird little fantasy. But what they are, are contemporaries that live in a dwindling, staunch little niche; manual, rear-wheel drive, mid-engined V6s…

Headphones on: this is the V12-engined GMA T.50s at 12,000rpm
23 minutes 25 seconds Gordon Murray’s modern interpretation of the McLaren F1, the GMA T.50 road car, is sublime – and now there’s a version only for the track. It’s lighter, louder, faster, more downforce hungry and 100 per cent less road legal, and in this world-exclusive video review of the new GMA T.50s Niki…

Watch: is the Corvette ZR1X the biggest performance car bargain… ever?
25 minutes 49 seconds No one has ever driven the 1,064bhp Corvette ZR1 and thought it needed more power – but that hasn’t stopped Chevrolet adding the Corvette E-Ray’s electric front axle to the ZR1 to create the 1,250bhp ZR1X! So, join TG’s Jethro Bovingdon as he drives the 2026 Corvette ZR1X on road, on…
