On sale: 2027 (North America) Ford’s all-electric F-150 Lightning died late last year a little over three years after it hit production, but the idea of an electric version of America’s most popular vehicle hasn’t gone away altogether. At the time of its cancellation, Ford confirmed plans to bring it back as a range extender,…

In the same way that Hollywood occasionally conspires to make two entirely separate movies about volcanoes or killer meteorites within months of each other, there’s been a recent, modest trend for Japanese-themed racing games. There’s Forza Horizon 6, obviously, which takes place in a compressed version of real world Japan, and is a mostly earnest…

A modern Renault Espace already exists, but it’s an SUV, so it doesn’t count. What doesn’t exist is a proper modern Renault Espace; one that looks like a big, friendly box that can be filled with people and things and joy. So Renault wants to – in its own words – ‘reboot’ the long-running nameplate…

The new Renault Twingo is adorable. A fun little car full of joy. Now, you can fill even more of it with joy (assuming you live somewhere sunny) because Renault will soon offer the Twingo with the adorably named ‘Twingobay’. That’s a tiny 0.7m2 panoramic roof that will add a bit more sense of space…

Sad news. In March 2026, BMW tuner AC Schnitzer announced it would stop tuning BMWs by the end of the year, which was a rather sad end to one of the car world’s aftermarket stalwarts. But it’s followed by Good News! Because today, in October 2026, BMW tuner AC Schnitzer has announced it will continue…

Meet the gnarliest Mini Countryman yet. Modern, BMW-run Mini celebrates its 25th year in 2026, so a rich seam of special editions was always on the cards. What we’d not anticipated was a trail-ready crossover like this. The Untamed Edition has made its grand debut in the States, a place where stuff like this is…

Another SUV from Audi, this time the re-think of the full-size Q7. This’ll be the third-generation, offered in the UK (initially at least) with seven seats and air suspension as standard. It’s chunkier-looking, has a more minimalist feel to the cabin, offers up some interesting tech and comes with a 3.0-litre V6 with mild-hybrid bits…

It’s the question I get asked more than any other. ‘Those doors. What happens if…?’ Well, it hasn’t happened yet. The closest I’ve got is being unable to open the driver’s door and having to clamber in from the passenger side. Not what you want when you lucked into a spot close to the entrance…

Elfyn Evans is world rally champion, at long bloody last. The Welshman, 37, has finally joined Colin McRae and Richard Burns on the exclusive list of British WRC winners having previously finished second on five separate occasions. It was very nearly six. Evans – together with co-driver Scott Martin – had carried a 17-point lead…

Playsport Games has awoken, 10 years after dropping the best motorsport management game ever, to show us how Motorsport Manager 2 is shaping up. It really shouldn’t be this exciting to see tyre selection menus and weather maps, but it is. This game looks like bona fide, ‘didn’t I used to have a family living…
