Well, it’s certainly something. Here’s how BMW has interpreted the grace of its neue Neue Klasse design language for the big dog of the range. For this be the brand-new BMW 7 Series, and… well, it’s certainly something. Something… dare we say, interesting? This heavily updated 7er now boasts an entirely new front end dominated…

Ooft. Porsche rebigulator Gunther Werks has revealed the “final rendition” of its Speedster programme, and it is an industrial defibrillator masquerading as an exceedingly modified Porsche 993. Ready thine feeble hearts for ‘Project Endgame’. And not unlike its Marvel Comics-esque name, Project Endgame gets a heroic amount of power. Unsurprisingly to those of you who’ve…

Over the weekend, a gaggle of classic car enthusiasts gathered in Rome’s Centro Storico for the inaugural Anantara Concorso Roma to celebrate ‘La Dolce Vita delle Automobili’. Lucky them.

But we aren’t.  So instead, we choose the burbly S8, with its uprated 4.2L V8 and penchant for punting Citroen XMs…

In a break from fitting Mercs with 1,000bhp versions of their twin-turbo V8s, storied German tuning house Brabus has revealed… an EV. No, seriously. In fact, it has kinda revealed three EVs, because what you’re looking at above is the DAB 1α Brabus, the DAB 1α Brabus Urban E and the DAB 1α Brabus Urban…

It turns out videogames aren’t just the thing we do to avoid emptying the dishwasher, they’re also apparently an art form. As a result, for the last 20 years or so, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts has been celebrating them with the BAFTA Games Awards, which rewards the best games and their…

Something new for Alpine. And more importantly, something new for Planet Car. It’s a tall-ish five-door sports car (not a hotted up version of anything else) designed solely around electric power. Not that that’s stopped Alpine leaning on its F1 know-how: the A390 has advanced torque vectoring via triple-motor drive, plus race-type aero in its…
