Magpies of the world listen up, because there’s a shiny new Spyker in town. That’s right, the bonkers Dutch supercar maker is back, and it’s relaunching with this C8 Preliator XXV Coupé. Not the catchiest of names, but the looks are classic Spyker. Of course, we first saw a car looking a little like this…

What in the Fort Knox is this? It’s the latest Toyota Tundra TRD Pro, the rugged full-sized truck from Toyota, equipped with the gear needed to keep up with contemporaries like the Ford Raptor and Ram TRX, to various degrees of success. That color, though… Oh right, this is Honeycomb, for those who like driving…

Ollie Kew: “This is the right side of innovative. Handsome, even” I might have to join BMW’s designers in their witness protection programme for this, but I like it. Could’ve been a whole Luce worse. Cover the badges and it looks like a BMW. There’s a tasteful amount of historic nods without going retro or…

Jack Rix: I hope you packed some spare brave pants today Jethro. I just wrote off a pair scanning the spec sheets. Today we have two of the fastest and most extreme road-legal cars money can buy, the Top Gear test track to ourselves and Stig is rumoured to be nearby. Excitement levels on a…

News may have reached thine ears about the very first production Ferrari Luce selling for a whopping $40,000,000 at auction over the weekend. This, in any sane universe, is an insane amount of money for an automobile. Especially one that looks like… well. See for yourself below. It was sold under the auspices of RM…

You know what it is. We all do. The first GT3 was launched over a quarter of a century ago and the formula has remained pretty much the same ever since. In short, it’s a 911 with a motorsport-derived engine, track focus and a wonderfully single-minded approach to pure driving excitement. This second generation of the 992 GT3…

Mercedes now makes two cars called the C-Class. One is electric. The other is sometimes petrol, sometimes diesel, sometimes hybrid. Both are full of screens and both, now, have enormous front grilles. Why? Because Mercedes has announced with much pomp and fanfare that you are witnessing the single biggest update ever applied to a C-Class.…

A lot of machinery revealed last week in Monterey was incredibly worthy – stuff like the S1, SV, CCGT1, Valen et al – but none can claim to be as sinister, and therefore as cool, as this. For this be the Brabus Bodo Cabriolet, and all it now requires is a neon-lit electro-synth soundtrack. Keen…

Quick, look over here everyone! It’s a new car that isn’t being unveiled at Monterey Car Week… and it is loud. At least, we’re assuming it is. Ford says about its new Dark Horse SC Convertible – revealed at Woodward Dream Cruise in Detroit – that “without a barrier between the driver and the sky,…

Czinger has made a roofless convertible version of its 21C hybrid hypercar. Because of course it has. If you had a tandem central-seat twin-turbo V8 rocketship which revved to 11,000rpm and developed over 1,200bhp, you’d want more stimulation right? You’d want the wind in your hair. You’d want the smell of petrol in your nostrils.…
