It’s not clear why Porsche named this 1970 concept after the Italian word for a snouty jungle mammal. There were two sets of gullwing doors: one for the passenger cabin and one for the luggage compartments. It was displayed at motor shows, but never made it into production.  This 1964 concept looked nothing like the…

Forza Horizon 6. Three words – alright, two words and a number, you pedants – which will dominate our year in games throughout 2026. And while we’ll probably get sucked into ranked PvP like we always do, it’s in the career mode where we’ll all probably be spending the most time. This sixth instalment has…

Good news! Dacia has announced it is introducing a new hybrid 4×4 powertrain to its Duster and Bigster SUVs, fresh off the back of its Dakar Rally success. If it’s good enough to win in the desert, then it should handle a spot of green laning no bother. Mind, it’s not quite the same setup…

Due to the unique way deadlines and publishing schedules work, I’m writing about how my Christmas holidays went – but to avoid the report feeling outdated or tinged with nostalgia, let’s actually not mention presents or question why I packed the family into the Passat and spent a fortnight visiting parents, parents-in-law or Center Parcs.…

TopGear.com is dusting off an old record for this instalment of Living With A Fast Electric Volvo Hatchback, and it’s one we intermittently return to: cars are not like mobile phones and so don’t need massive touchscreens. Buttons and dials: really rather good, as it turns out. As the three or four of you out…

Imagine running into someone scary down a dark alleyway, only for them to tell you you’re looking especially pleasant today and have you lost some weight? This is the M600. With 650bhp and no electronic assists, you might rightly anticipate a fight on your hands. In fact, the sheer poise of the thing makes it…

The upside of pouring money into F1 is that your road cars reap the tech benefits. At least, that’s what Renault tells the accountant. The Twizy RS F1 is a bonkers £1million showcase of KERS energy recovery that more than quadruples the standard car’s power. Add slicks, carbon everything and it’s job done. (Not for the…

Remember that rather delightful, reimagined Ferrari F355 from 2024? It’s now ready, Brit company Evoluto confirming it has tested all the specifications it promised us a couple of years back. Chief among which is a re-engineered version of Ferrari’s mid-mounted, 3.5-litre naturally-aspirated V8, which now makes 414bhp and 273lb ft (up from 375bhp and 268lb…

Vauxhall has revealed plans to fill its tiny Corsa with lots of power and lots of electricity and slap a familiar (ish) badge on the back. A hot new Corsa GSE is incoming. And Vauxhall assures us this successor to the likes of the Nova GTE and GSI and Corsa GSI and VXR will be…

The Suzuki’s been on a few adventures of late. Exciting times. We’ve been on several long (ish) trips – down to the Cotswolds, to deepest darkest Kent and even across to the far east… by which I mean Norfolk, obviously – so it’s been a terrific opportunity to see how the baby Suzuki responds to…
