This is the very first Gordon Murray Automotive T.50s Niki Lauda. It is a long name for a short car with a big punch: a track-only ‘version’ of the sublime, 10/10 Gordon Murray Automotive T.50 supercar. Except we know it’s not really a ‘version’ of that T.50 road car, more a separate, bewinged nutjob. Only…

Slate Auto’s first truck will cost $24,590, according to The Autopian, who discovered the price of the incoming EV after it appeared to have been exposed in the code of the pre-order section of the automaker’s website. We’ve been keeping an eye on the Slate Truck ever since we had a poke around one in…

Toyota is actively working on a new Celica. This much we know already, based on rumblings in the industry, whisperings on the media grapevine, and the fact that one of Toyota’s top brass blurted it out two years ago. All subtle clues, you see. Toyota’s bosses still aren’t allowed to say it openly, apparently, but…

We can all get on board with having a good gawp at a black Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear with orange accents… only, there’s something different about this ’Segg. It’s made almost entirely from Lego Technic elements. Around 327,000 of them. It’s the model building team’s latest in a growing garage of life-sized car builds, which kicked…

Another borderline case, because the Ioniq 5 N is longer and wider than a Nissan Qashqai, and almost as tall. But if it looks like a hot hatch, and it drives like a hot hatch, etc, etc… except the Ioniq 5 N doesn’t drive like a hot hatch. Thanks to 641bhp and a 0-62mph time…

Jeremey Clarkson has revealed that he has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. The journalist and broadcaster, who co-hosted Top Gear from 1988 to 2015 and later went on to front The Grand Tour alongside Richard Hammond and James May, revealed the news in an episode of Clarkson’s Farm this week. “I’ve got cancer. I’ve known…

The trouble with long-term test cars is that they occasionally get exposed to things they were never meant to be compared against. That’s how our Citroen C5 Aircross ended up parked next to a Caterham Seven 170R at the Top Gear test track. The Citroen was there acting as a camera car. As it turns…

The Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut has continued its noble, long-running quest to melt the world’s supply of timing gear by setting new production car speed records. Again. “On Sweden’s National Day,” said Koenigsegg, “the Jesko Absolut delivered another historic performance at Koenigsegg’s home airfield in Angelholm, Sweden.” That historic performance relates to a standing quarter mile…

Audi’s Allroad cars have long been the cooler offerings from its range, via reasons not really that complex. Basically, ‘not being a massive SUV’. And so we come to the fifth generation of the actually still quite massive A6 Allroad. That’s because for the first time, Audi’s given it a ‘widebody’ for reasons not really…

On the surface, this is but another special edition Porsche 911, built to commemorate something or other, offering a special new bespoke colourway applied to one half of a single doorhandle, limited to 3.5 cars and yours for £infinity. But dig deeper, and… OK fine, it’s another special edition Porsche 911. But this one’s a…
