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…

This year’s MotoGP race at Silverstone was fought on the absolute ragged edge. You didn’t need a graphical overlay full of battery deployment meters to see it, because the way Marco Bezzecchi walked onto the podium – very slowly, utterly depleted, helped by an Aprilia team member under each arm – amply demonstrated it instead.…

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…

The UK’s car industry is being given a massive £130m boost… and no, it’s not so it can temporarily repair that nasty pothole on your road. That’d bankrupt the treasury. No, the money’s for developing the electric and self-driving cars that’ll create more of them. As part of its ‘Drive35’ programme, the UK government will…

So many things came together just right to make TOCA 2: Touring Cars as good as it was. First of all, when Banbury-based Codemasters decided to make a game about the British Touring Car Championship in 1997, the sport was just about to enter a golden age. Its governing body got the regulations absolutely spot on…

He’s back! Well, officially what you’re looking at here is called the Deep Orange 17 as it was designed and built by students on Clemson University’s Deep Orange automotive engineering programme, but are you really going to try and tell us that this isn’t the second coming of TopGear telly’s iconic Geoff? It’s quite a…
