It wasn’t just Gok Wan dishing out transformative makeovers in the 2000s. With the XF, designer Ian Callum revitalised the Jaguar brand, replacing wood panels with crisp aluminium and alleviating the long lingering whiff of old fart. It still felt like a Jag – just one that belonged in this century.  Legendary/notorious VW big cheese,…

The kind of thing that a big-tech ‘mobility provider’ would describe as a ‘last-mile personal transportation solution’ today, the Honda Motocompo was brilliantly ahead of its time. It was a tiny, boxy foldable scooter designed to stow in the boot of the City hatchback, so if you needed to get into a city centre, you…

It’s the all-new Nissan Sentra, the latest iteration of the very pervasive mid-size sedan that’s been part of the global automotive makeup for over forty years. Uh-huh. So more of the same then? We won’t sit here and tell you the Sentra, in its many forms, survived so long because it was something particularly special.…

Forza Horizon 6 is here, and it’s pretty perfect. One of the only downsides is the smaller vehicle roster versus its predecessor, but with more than 550 available at launch you’re hardly limited for choice.  You’ll see articles out there telling you about the fastest cars, the best for each event type and category, but…

The Warwick-based studio, founded by Forza Horizon alumni, has been livestreaming a 2003 Fiat Multipla just sitting parked in the lobby of its offices, with a timer counting down to…

Some of the greatest car designs ever – the Citroen DS, the Mini, the Lamborghini Miura, even the first Ford Focus – were so radical when new, they were scoffed at. Only years later did they get judged as genius. But we now live in a world of instant responses and polarised opinion. Love or…

Vijay Pattni: “There’s huge value in opening it up to wider audiences” The Porsche 911 GT3 Coupe is a Very Serious Car for Very Serious Car Enthusiasts. The kind who understand what longer duration cams do to power delivery and how a downforce friendly front trailing arm helps anti-dive. This makes it a little less……

When you’re driving a new and improved version of the car that last year we branded the greatest performance car on the planet, there’s not much wiggle room. It’s either a new benchmark that’s inched closer to perfection, or a Top Gear hero totally ruined. It’s called the Kimera EVO38 and can it actually be…

What is it? AMG’s newest sports SUV and SUV ‘Coupe’. So a GLC (SUV, C-Class analogue) with a ‘53’ designation. So fast but not too fast, spicy but not nuclear. This is your Madras rather then vindaloo. AMG bills it as having a ‘high-revving six-cylinder for even greater driving dynamics and emotion’, which is faintly…

Here’s TopGear.com’s roving correspondent, Cory Spondent, with his mostly incorrect exclusives from the world of motoring Jaguar has responded to the reveals of the new Mercedes-AMG GT 4-door Coupe and Ferrari Luce by throwing its arms out wide and shouting ‘how you like me now, suckers’. Despite suffering an international backlash from so-called ‘fan’ communities…
