To no great surprise, it is a limited edition of the RS3 competition that’s been built to celebrate 50 years since Audi first slotted a five-cylinder engine into the slender nose of the 1976 100. To great surprise, it is supremely expensive. More on that later. How then,…

This is the Chery Tiggo 4. Now, we’re not really that interested in the Chery Tiggo 4, but we thought we ought to show it to you so that you can continue to recognise every single car on sale in the UK. We’ll be honest, that skill is getting trickier with every passing launch. You…

If you know anything about sim racing, you’ll be aware of iRacing. It’s the thing Max Verstappen does when he’s supposed to be getting a tight eight hours of sleep ahead of a Grand Prix.

Oh joy, Top Gear’s talking about the Dodge Charger again. Indeed we are. In case you missed it, we gave the Dodge Charger Sixpack our first US Car of the Year award just last fall (or autumn, depending on who’s editing this). It squeaked in at the last second to top the other cars in…
