In 2022, a prototype version broke the Goodwood Festival of Speed’s hillclimb record. In 2025, it went so fast around the Top Gear test track, it dislodged an old Renault F1 car. And later that year, it literally drove upside down. Now you can enjoy such hijinks – if you have access to around £1.2m…

Well this is most excellent news: after delivering the most memorable lap of the entire F1 season in Miami last year, Lego is once again providing the machinery for the pre-race drivers’ parade, this time ahead of the British Grand Prix on Sunday. Woo hoo! Only Lego has taken its Miami idea and made it……

This is SGT Automobili’s 55-SGT, which is essentially a modern Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio dressed up in a boxy carbon suit to make it look like a 1990s DTM hero. At least, we’re pretty sure it is, because SGT has been very careful not to name Alfa Romeo, the 155 V6 TI or the Giulia…

Let’s start by trying to quantify what ‘cool’ is. The Nintendo 64 was fun. It had plenty of excellent games, all of them daubed in cheery primary colours and soundtracked by tunes you can probably still hum now. It was wholesome, it was enjoyable. But it wasn’t cool, was it? The original Sony PlayStation, though…

Unless you live under a rock (or on one, Tristan da Cunha perhaps), you’ll have noticed that Ferrari’s first fully electric car, the Luce, has been, erm, ‘divisive’. For many, Top Gear readers included no doubt, an electric Ferrari is a no-go on principle. What was it Enzo said, amongst his many pithy comments… when…

Tesla introduced the second generation Model Y to the UK in 2025 – and then reintroduced the seven-seat version in early 2026. Hurrah! Two front-facing, collapsible jump seats make up the third row, with access granted courtesy of the electronically sliding second row. It’s a £2,500 option that’s only available on the Premium Long Range…
