The internal combustion engines inside next year’s Formula One cars will be 67bhp more powerful than this year’s V6 units, while power from the energy recovery system – the fiddly electric bit – will be cut by the same amount. Following a partial easing off the e-throttle in Miami, the teams, the FIA, F1 and…

Donkerwhatnow? Come on, keep up! Donkervoort has been around since 1978 and they’ve been radically evolving, reimagining and re-engineering a concept based very much along the lines of the Lotus Seven ever since.

Volkswagen has set a new Nürburgring record for front-wheel drive production vehicles, with its Golf GTI Edition 50 clocking a really rather rapid time of 7m 44.523s in the very capable hands of Benny Leuchter. That just pips the 7m 44.881s recorded by Honda’s FL5 Civic Type R back in 2023, and it could be…

The unkillable car. Trust us, we tried once on the telly show. Set it on fire, drowned it, even dropped a caravan on it (ah, the good old days). It hardly flinched. A TG icon and champion of that most Japanese of automotive traits: bombproof reliability.  Not a hot hatch, but certainly not room temp…

Lexus has pulled the covers off a new, all-electric seven-seat SUV for North America, and amongst all the sensible chat about active safety systems, optional rear-wheel steering and lounge-like interiors, there was a rather neat little Easter egg… You see, this posh-but-practical three-row SUV gets two battery options (76.96kWh and 95.82kWh) and up to 300…

Are you a high-ranking politician? Head of state? Someone capable of annoying people so badly they turn homicidal? Well, Mercedes has just released the car for you, and it’s called the S680 GUARD. It’s basically a stylish tank. As the name suggests, it’s based on the latest-generation of S-Class, a car that’s been used by…

A new hypercar is coming. Wait, come back! This new hypercar wants to change everything you ever thought you knew about hypercars, beginning with the one thing that – according to the company responsible for it – always gets ignored.
