A breeze whispers gently through the dusty canyon. Under its breath it seems to whistle Ennio Morricone’s iconic score from The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. The midday sun scorches the ground underfoot. A distance has been set at 20 paces. Eyes sharpen. A hand hovers over a holster at one end. A 2.0-litre…

So I drove the Ferrari 849 Testarossa Spider recently. And it was all very extraordinary, a monument to Maranello’s ability to distil furious complexity into surprising simplicity. It’s a skill that extends to the mythologising of its own founding father. Because to spend any time with Ferrari is to be reminded of how heavily the…

Recently I’ve been mostly… playing a supporting role in the Hyundai Ioniq 9. A crew car for the 355 by Evoluto drive in Wales, a camera rig for a clash of the lightweights shoot at Dunsfold (Ariel Atom 4RR vs Nichols N1A – the Hyundai weighs significantly more than both cars combined), and a spot…

“Dune is not simply a lifted supercar. It is an entirely new species of performance vehicle,” reads the rather confident press release for Rezvani’s latest wild creation. And yes, that is very much a dig at Lamborghini’s own Huracán Sterrato. That’s because Rezvani – purveyors of armoured, apocalypse-proof SUVs – has taken the Huracán a…

This is the Aston Martin Vanquish 25, which as the name suggests, celebrates 25 years since that original 2001 car burst onto the scene with one of the world’s best soundtracks and coolest ever names. And as befits the car that burst into public consciousness in that godawful 007 movie – thou shalt not repeat…

What you are looking at here is the very first Ferrari Luce production car. As if you’d mistake it for anything else. And in exciting news for the three people on the Internet that liked Ferrari’s first crack at an EV, this very car is heading up for auction at RM Sotheby’s Monterey sale during…

Here’s TopGear.com’s roving correspondent, Cory Spondent, with his mostly incorrect exclusives from the world of motoring Jaguar Land Rover is set to remove every single button from its cabins and replace that functionality with ‘vibes’, according to insiders. Following the reveal of the Range Rover GT – whose interaction rests within an OLED display –…

Hasn’t life just got a lot easier for the Lotus Emira? It has. All its rivals have vanished, just in time for the Lotus to get faster. How did the Emira scare everyone else away? The Lotus Emira seems to have woken up in a sports car post-nuke wasteland. When it launched in 2022 it…

During my time with the Junior so far, I’ve generally considered it to be a pleasant little runabout. It’s comfortable, reliable (very early days of course, so touch wood) and elicits a surprisingly positive reaction from fellow road users. What it hasn’t done yet though, is satisfy my desire to own a ‘proper’ Alfa Romeo.…

What’s this? A new Land Rover? The next Land Cruiser? Certainly looks like it could be either of those, doesn’t it? It’s a boxy, ladder-frame SUV with a bluff front end, square arches, extending side steps and a spare wheel on the back, but it’s neither a Toyota nor a Defender. It’s actually a BYD.…
