Around the corner together at a steady 30mph, pass the cones and press go. For a second we’re level, then things go a bit blurry and I discover I’m not sitting in a car, I’m strapped to a shockwave. Through the vibrating mirrors I’m distantly aware the GT3 RS has apparently given up and slammed…

‘Luxurious Unimog’ is one of those blatant oxymorons that just doesn’t sound like words that should be in the same sentence, never mind neighbours. Something like the notion of a ‘happy tax audit’, or a ‘pleasant disease’. The main reason being that a Unimog’s entire philosophy is rolled up sleeves and long hours. Work work.…

What did this guy do, then? He didn’t officially break the speed of sound. Seems a low bar. Nor have most of us. Yeah, but Stan Barrett – Hollywood stuntman, fearless speed pioneer, all round humanitarian good dude – didn’t officially break the speed of sound while doing 700-plus miles per hour across a dry…

Jensen International continues to drip feed us information about its all-new Interceptor, and we now know that the GTX will arrive first as a track-only supercar.

Although actually, ‘extensive engineering’ might just…

This is a massive, military-grade, zombie-proof combat truck powered by a V12 engine. It also has an Aston Martin badge on it (a company famous for its sleek supercars and grand tourers, not for securing MoD contracts) which is odd. And yes, we know it already makes the DBX SUV… but that’s nothing like this.…

At a certain point during the 2010s, Ubisoft realised why people actually liked the Assassin’s Creed games. It was much simpler than the multi-layered storyline involving people in the present day reliving memories in a dream machine and all the blending in with the crowd stuff. They were just great historical action-RPGs. The ancient war between…

Designers—well, they’ve certainly been in the headlines recently, with the unveiling of the electric Ferrari Luce by legendary Apple designer Jony Ive. As a designer myself, I can sympathise with the scrutiny they face. It’s not easy working in a field where it often feels like everyone believes they could do better. Would a written…

As you may have noticed in the news, Volkswagen is in trouble.
