It turns out videogames aren’t just the thing we do to avoid emptying the dishwasher, they’re also apparently an art form. As a result, for the last 20 years or so, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts has been celebrating them with the BAFTA Games Awards, which rewards the best games and their…

Something new for Alpine. And more importantly, something new for Planet Car. It’s a tall-ish five-door sports car (not a hotted up version of anything else) designed solely around electric power. Not that that’s stopped Alpine leaning on its F1 know-how: the A390 has advanced torque vectoring via triple-motor drive, plus race-type aero in its…

Romesh Ranganathan does not consider himself a petrolhead. “No, I don’t think I’m a petrolhead,” he tells TopGear.com. “Did I prioritise cars? No, not until a bit later on when I slowly started to get into them. “I went from seeing cars as something functional to something you could enjoy,” he adds. And hoo boy…

Back in late 2024, Lamborghini’s then tech boss Rouven Mohr (now CTO at Audi) told TG the Temerario’s V8 hybrid powertrain could quite easily be turned up to produce over 1,000bhp. Yikes. As such, we’re expecting some form of Performante or STO version at some point soon. But what if you can’t wait for that?…

What’s better than one R34 Nissan Skyline GT-R? If you said a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder, get outta here – you’ve been watching 2 Fast 2 Furious wrong. Anyway, the actual answer is five R34 Skyline GT-Rs, as evidenced by the stunning UK-based collection you see above. But wait, it gets even better, because all five…

So, game on. After BMW wowed us all with its game-changing iX3 – a TG Car of the Year – and followed it up with the lovely i3 saloon, Merc has hit back: after the GLC Electric comes this, the first ever battery-powered Mercedes-Benz C-Class. And the headline stat for many of you will be…

We’ve checked the calendar, and April Fools’ Day has definitely been and gone. And that’s slightly worrying, because we’ve just discovered that Chinese carmaker Seres has been granted a patent for an in-car toilet. Yep, its application for an in-car khazi was actually filed all the way back in April 2025, but it was eventually…

The Hyundai Ioniq 3 has arrived as a very sensible electric car for Europe, with a choice of either a 42.2kWh battery for 208 miles of range, or a 61kWh battery for a class-leading figure (says Hyundai) of more than 305 miles. Its front wheels are powered by equally sensible 133bhp or 145bhp motors, and…

It’s the third Polestar, if the name didn’t already imply. Polestar is part of the Geely Group, like Volvo and Lotus, and is Chinese-built but Swedish-headquartered. And the smart, consistent font used across all its bumf and interior displays speaks of a European design eloquence. Launched in 2024, the Polestar 3 is a five-seat, fully…

In 2024, the Ford Mustang GTD managed to race around the Nürburgring’s lightly challenging layout in 6m 57.6s. At the time, that made it the fastest American car to have achieved such a feat. In 2025, Ford went even faster. After a raft of tweaks – more aero, more power, more… suspension – the GTD…
