If you’re up to speed on your small Stellantis crossovers, you’ll be well aware that – much like the Vauxhall Mokka, Peugeot 2008, Jeep Avenger, Fiat 600, Citroen C4 and DS 3 – the Alfa Romeo Junior is available in both petrol-hybrid and all-electric forms.

Both are full of screens and both, now, have enormous front grilles. Why? Because Mercedes has announced with much pomp and fanfare that you are witnessing the single biggest update ever applied to a C-Class.…

A lot of machinery revealed last week in Monterey was incredibly worthy – stuff like the S1, SV, CCGT1, Valen et al – but none can claim to be as sinister, and therefore as cool, as this. For this be the Brabus Bodo Cabriolet, and all it now requires is a neon-lit electro-synth soundtrack. Keen…

Earlier this year, three Land Rover Defenders equipped solely with V8s and bravery managed to finish 1st, 2nd and 4th in the new ‘Stock’ class of the 2026 Dakar Rally.

Just when you thought Gordon Murray and his Special Vehicles division had reached peak car with the S1 LM, he goes and pulls something for the purists (and arguably even more titillating) out the bag. It’s called the GMSV S1, and it’s a direct homage to the McLaren F1 road car – aka the greatest…
