If your primary goal with a convertible is to be seen, then this is the car for you. If your primary goal with a convertible is to have insults hurled at you the second you stray from the confines of Mayfair, this may also be the car for you. Either way, not much else besides…

Conclusions after seven months? Škoda’s marketing guys won’t thank me for this, but the Elroq vRS is a comfy pair of shoes kind of car. Wait, though. In my case, those’ll be Nike Air Maxes (I have many pairs), because a lingering metatarsal injury on my right foot requires soft but not quite orthopedic and…

This handsome and oft-overlooked ’60s coupe hails from a time when Fiat had designs far beyond its current emphasis on small, cheap cars. That timelessly lovely styling carries the fingerprints of two all time greats, Giorgetto Giugiaro and Marcello Gandini, and that name’s no coincidence: it was powered by Ferrari’s lovely Dino V6, a year…

New cars really are expensive these days, aren’t they? The entry level Ford is a £25k Puma and an Abarth 500e starts at just under £28k. Heck, even the Dacia Sandero will now set you back almost £15,000. Oh, and this Range Rover just cost its new owner over £1m. Yeesh. This is in fact…

F1 is weird, Exhibit 8,439,172: after postponing the Bahrain Grand Prix in April because of things, er, getting out of hand in the Middle East, the race has been rescheduled… thousands of miles away in Sepang. No, really. The race formerly known as the Formula 1 Gulf Air Bahrain Grand Prix will now be called…

This is an old car once owned by a man who made really fast ones. It’s a 1964 Shelby Cobra Daytona Coupe – one of only six ever made – that spent a considerable amount of time in the custody of the man who designed it. That’d be Carroll Shelby. It’s news because – surprise!…

How far has the humble hybrid developed in a quarter of a century? To find out, I invented a time machine and went back to the early 2000s. Unfortunately, there was an altercation with a fighty gilet lad and this eccentric scientist who was too old to believably be his mate and to cut a…

Keeping a safe distance from the Apollo Evo to avoid its razor-sharp downforce-hungry body slicing my body open like a carbon fibre abattoir, one thought kept pinging around my head while filming TG’s latest First Look video. How can this possibly be road legal? There are huge exposed flashes of tyre, and pedestrian-filleting winglets everywhere…

On paper, the Volvo EX90 Twin Motor and Kia EV9 GT seem largely similar: seven seat, pure electric SUVs with practicality qualified by sheer size and motivation more punchy than is strictly necessary. They list within about three grand of each other, both have dual motors and all-wheel drive, both run 800-volt architectures that see…
