Here’s TopGear.com’s roving correspondent, Cory Spondent, with his mostly incorrect exclusives from the world of motoring A motorist has spent five days driving around a car park looking for an empty, unobstructed parking bay, sources have told TopGear.com. The driver of a sensibly-sized hatchback has been circling his local supermarket for nearly a week in…

Lotus has today confirmed it intends to push forward towards 2030 by being more… Lotus. And headlining this new strategy will be a new hybrid V8 supercar with many, many horsepowers. More than 986bhp, in fact (1,000PS+). That car – currently codenamed Type 135 – will arrive in 2028 with an unconfirmed price but a…

JCB is off to break a Land Speed Record. Wait… what? Actually, if you have any knowledge of the Staffordshire-based digger enthusiasts, this won’t sound that weird because it has history there. The JCB Hydromax follows in the footsteps of the Dieselmax, which set a diesel land speed record of 350.092mph back in 2006 that…

So here we are then. Three years since we first heard Jaguar was planning on reinventing itself via an expensive electric GT car, around 18 months since that campaign very nearly broke the Internet, 17 months since we first saw an actual car and then digested the furore, and three months since we drove a…

It’s impossible not to think of the previous six generations of Mercedes S-Class as you approach this huge update to the sixth-gen car. Think of them and pity such piffling technological world firsts as anti-lock brakes (1978, on the W116) or airbags (1981’s W126). Remember the awe you experienced the first time you saw a…

Blimey, that’s certainly not shy and retiring, is it? Has a drop-top Rolls-Royce ever been described as such? But yes, we see what you mean. This is British company Halcyon’s first ‘remastered’ Corniche, and this particularly purple car is known as the Highland Heather commission. We’re told that the colour and trim were “inspired by…

It’s always a good day when a new Alfa Romeo arrives at TG Towers, but does the old Clarkson claim that you can’t be a true petrolhead until you’ve owned one still ring true when said Alfa is a dinky little crossover? Or had that ship already sailed with the slightly dubious Giulietta and MiTo?…

Forza Horizon 6, the most anticipated racing game of the year, has just jumped the lights. Although it’s not out until 19 May, its game files were temporarily (and erroneously) released in unencrypted form on Steam recently, allowing hackers to rip the game and distribute pirated versions. However, the risks of trying to play the…

Strangely enough, it’s a mid-size Chinese crossover that slots neatly between the Omoda 5 and the Omoda 9. Who’d have thunk it? The styling is fairly generic for the segment, but it does get a funky LED rear light signature, shoulders like prime Schwarzenegger and a front grille that blends into the bodywork. But wait,…

The Audi Q9 is coming. It will be a (up to) seven-seat SUV with electrically powered doors and a panoramic roof and 4D sound and likely a hotline to the International Space Station. It will also take over from the outgoing A8 as Audi’s new flagship automobile. It will also be absolutely flippin’ huge. Audi…
