Renowned photographer Mark has been working with Top Gear for many, many years. When not taking photos he’s buying inappropriate cars. Here he shares his addiction with the world In recent years I’ve adopted the awful habit of not viewing cars before actually buying them. And this has – for the most part – always…

What’s better than a rear spoiler? Why, two rear spoilers of course! At least, that seems to have been the thinking at Lamborghini when it was coming up with ideas for this new Urus SE Performante. Another idea was to equip this high-performance plug-in hybrid variant with 801bhp and 738lb ft of torque, making it…

To be an F1 fan is to spend your Sunday afternoons tutting and muttering to disinterested loved ones about how you would have managed the undercut better. Playsport Games understands this better than anyone, that it’s just as engrossing to be on the pitwall as in the cockpit. An understanding they proved it with 2016’s…

It’s the Infiniti QX60, the crossover SUV from the forever brand nobody remembers. Oh, that’s mean, even for you guys. It brings us no pleasure to say so, but Infiniti, a brand that once pioneered what’s become standard for the luxury car shopping experience, has faded into the background over the years. Apart from it…

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…

As far as I can work out, Lotus legend Colin Chapman never actually met Alpine founder Jean Rédélé.  Their companies have collaborated – let’s ignore the ill-fated liaison of 2021 and focus on the considerably more successful combination of 1962 that saw a Lotus 23-derived chassis underpin the Alpine M63 endurance racer – but the…

The McLaren W1 is here, but it’s got some big boots to fill. Not only does it follow in the footsteps of something called the F1, but here at TG we also rather liked the 903bhp P1 too. So, why not take a moment to scroll through that gallery above for all of our greatest…

1 hour 2 minutes 55 seconds What’s the greatest Porsche 911 ever? It’s a debate that rages at TG Towers more often than we’d care to admit. At least, it used to. Because now we have answered that very question by gathering the greats – from the 1973 Carrera RS 2.7 right the way through…

A few days in yet another generic mid-sized Crossover rapidly increased my love for the Leon. In fact, it made me wonder if many buyers have forgotten what it’s like to drive a normal, non-faux offroader. I was agog at how much lighter it felt. How agile. How easy it was to thread the Cupra…

This is the new BMW XX XX 5. No, not a typo. The new X5 is so proud of its status as the latest generation of BMW’s longest-lived, monumentally successful X-series vehicle, that it’s got more ‘x’s across its face than a lovestruck teen’s text history. See? XX 00 XX. Is it just us who…
