There’s a lot to like about Screamer. Inspired by classic Japanese anime movies, including the phenomenal Redline, it’s set in a neon soaked vision of the future where the cars all look like the result of a dawn raid on the Liberty Walk parts bin. There’s a pleasing complexity to the action, seeing you balancing…

Statistics claim that around 18 per cent of us drivers will experience some form of car vandalism at some point. Sadly, I’m now part of that 18 per cent. Yes, my A6 e-tron was keyed last month. Even now, as I write this, I still can’t fathom why anyone would deliberately damage someone else’s property.…

Like its rival premium carmakers, Mercedes-Benz knows why people buy certain cars. “The all-new electric GLA is the first model in the Mercedes-Benz compact segment to feature the new iconic grille.” Yup, this new GLA – available in both electric and hybrid guise – gets a grille normally reserved for Mercedes-Benz’s big posh cars, bringing…

Pray silence please for the new Audi Q9, or as it’s described in the press release and as such will henceforth be known as “the largest Audi of all time”. And yes, it really is chuffing massive. At 5.31m long, 2.21m wide and 1.81m tall, THE LARGEST AUDI OF ALL TIME is 50cm longer than…

And so the most powerful hot hatch in the world is dead. Phew. What did we learn from all that? In case you missed it, Mercedes has announced the AMG A45 ‘Final Edition’. That’s not something you do unless you’ve got a few months of factory capacity left to build an old car, and you…

This is the Zeekr 9X Super Hybrid. It is not a large, premium SUV that rivals other large, premium SUVs. It is a ginormous premium SUV that’s as long as a long wheelbase Range Rover and as heavy as a small moon. It’s been on sale in China since 2025 and today, Zeekr has revealed…

Marc Newson (far left in the image above), co-founder of the design agency LoveFrom, trained in sculpture and jewellery design, and has a CV positively rammed with eccentrically eye-catching work. Clients include Louis Vuitton, Nike, Apple and Taschen. Then there’s the Lockheed Lounge, a riveted chaise longue inspired by aviation. An example of that sold…

Big news in the not-very-big world of small electric sports cars. A British start-up by the name of the Small Sports Car Company (SSCC) has announced that it is bringing a Chinese-designed and -built lightweight electric sports car to the UK later this year. Called the SC01, it’s already on sale in its homeland where…

You’ve driven the Luce? Yes. And exceptionally good it is, too. But first, some context. TG.com is at the Stellantis test track near Balocco, a sprawling facility that sits just off the A4 autostrada midway between Milan and Turin. Ferrari gets to use it, too. There are 26 different configurations here, across 50 miles, with…

Time can treat heroes unkindly. The great grow old, the powerful fade, the mighty fall. Then there’s the Ford Racing Puma. It was a hero to me 25 years ago, and driving it again… well, this is the zingiest thing I’ve driven in years. That’s the word that defines the FRP. It’s a hard-top, high-rise…
