A new Nissan Skyline is in the works, and it looks like it’ll have plenty of retro design cues. Old-school Skyline script on its rear haunch too, plus GT-R style rear lights. We’re excited. Of course, it’ll likely be a JDM-only model, but the above teasers were shown off at Nissan’s ‘vision’ event where it…

We think of it as a quintessential Nineties legend, like Mr Motivator or Jennifer Aniston’s hair, but the Integra Type R was only on sale in the UK for three short years between 1998 and 2001. That it had a massive impact was thanks to its impeccable handling, razor-sharp five-speed gearbox and hand-built 189bhp 1.8-litre…

This is the Porsche 911 GT3 S/C. That suffix means it is a GT3 – so a Very Good Porsche – available for the first time without a fixed roof, which means you can enjoy every one of its 9,000rpms to the absolute fullest. Ring in the summer season then, with the sound of an…

Ever think that Nissan played it a bit safe with its second-generation Juke back in 2019? Well, there’s absolutely no danger of that criticism being levelled at the new third-gen, because… just look at it. Nissan describes this as a “bold evolution” of its little crossover. We’d describe it as looking like a sly but…

Rolls-Royce reckons this is its most “ambitious work” to date. After 120 years in the game, and with one of the most splendiferous back catalogues in the automotive world, that’s a serious flex. Project Nightingale is long – 5.76m stem to stern – and has frankly enormous presence in the flesh. It also ushers in…

Must have been busy in the colour and trim department at Land Rover recently, because it has just unveiled no fewer than five special edition Range Rovers. Good grief. First up is the TWENTY Edition (LR’s caps, not ours). We’re told that this will be ‘limited-run’, but rather than there being just 20 available, the…

The what is simple: two versions of the Mini Countryman S outfitted by an Austrian design studio inspired by music festivals that turn both cars into, essentially, giant mobile speakers. The why is trickier: according to Mini, “a long-standing tradition and core value of the brand is individual vehicle customisation”. So that naturally evolves into:…

They never stop, do they, the games? It’s relentless. There you are, still trying to finish Witcher III with absolutely no idea where you are on the map or what this active quest is about, and the games industry dumps a massive pile of delectable content onto your lap. Before you give up entirely and…

The Honda Integra Type R is widely considered to be one of the finest front-wheel drive performance cars ever built. Which makes this particular example one of the finest of the finest, because it’s been rebigulated by noted rebigulators Tolman. That’s the same Tolman that worked a bit of magic on the Peugeot 205 GTI…

By now, spring has sprung, its brighter mornings and warmer evenings providing that tantalising little glimpse of the summer ahead. A perfect if somewhat clichéd time to convince you to buy a brand new convertible. That’s a significantly harder task than it used to be, however. Little over a decade ago, every mainstream carmaker had…
