There’s a small silver piece of trim at the base of the windscreen of our Audi A6 Sportback e-tron. It announces that this car is fitted with the fancy Bang and Olufsen ‘Sound and vision system’, a £2,895 option. However, it’s a pretty good representation of this entire car. Can you guess what happens on…

Vauxhall Corsa GSE review: a £33k, 5.5s hot hatchback

Aug 31, 2026

Woah! A fast Corsa? It is indeed. We’ve not had a bona fide Vauxhall Corsa hot hatch since the old VXR retired back in 2018. It did so with a gloriously old-school attitude to ride, handling and performance, its 1.6-litre petrol engine driving the front wheels through a manual ‘box and rugged little diff. This…

Racing Lagoon is a classic PS1 Japanese racing game you’ve never heard of

—

by

Even these days, very few racing games attempt to tell an actual story. Usually it’s up to you to concoct your own bitter rivalry with whichever fictional driver sits above you in the championship standings.

13 used family cars for a lot less than Audi’s new £100k Q9

by

Audi has just priced its leviathan new Q9. A car ostensibly designed for the American market, it’s sized as such, packing three-row seating (American English for ‘it’s a seven seater’) into its enormous 5.3m-long frame.

The Porsche leads. The Lambo follows. Both historically and literally. It leads because it instigated the whole ‘daily supercar’ thing, and because if it follows, its windscreen will have been turned into a map of the cosmos within a few hundred yards. What rule has Lamborghini dodged to leave so much of the rear tyre…

‘Not daft enough’: this transforming roadster concept was a fail, and here’s why

by

The problem with the Presto wasn’t that it was too daft. It wasn’t daft enough. The unmistakable handiwork of the Swiss mavericks at Rinspeed, it attempted to solve that age-old riddle of ‘small car, easy to park/big car, fits more people’ with the aid of an ingenious extending wheelbase. Yep, it stretched. A central electric…

I’m aware that, despite it being our reigning Car of the Year, the iX3’s had a bit of tough time on TG’s fleet so far. So let’s keep that going, as there are some other faults to discuss… The head-up display – part of the £1,700 Technology Plus Pack, which also includes the (good) three-zone…

There’s a new Supervan, and it’s a 2.5-litre Audi RS3-engined VW Transporter

—

by

A company that specialises in customising Volkswagen’s venerable Transporter has revealed plans to make a ballistic, limited-edition performance van using Audi power. Welcome to the new ‘Supervan’. It intends to do this by injecting the 2.5-litre, multi-award-winning five-cylinder powerhaus from an RS3 into a T6.1 base, thus creating a very unique way of transporting humans…
