Another year, another Formula One game, right? Except this year’s F1 game isn’t an F1 game at all. Codemasters is focussing on a totally revamped instalment for next year, so instead of a full-fat F1 26, replete with new features, what we’re getting instead is a bare-bones expansion for the previous game, F1 25, at…

For a grey, featureless slab – and I mean that with great affection – the reveal of the Audi Nuvolari didn’t half generate some strong opinions. Some of these opinions concerned the Nuvolari’s vital statistics and price positioning, particularly regarding Audi’s decision to charge £500k for what could uncharitably be described as ‘a Lamborghini Temerario…

Well, this could shake up the establishment a little. Just a day after Peugeot pulled the covers off the production spec e-208 GTi, another Stellantis brand has let slip that its own hot hatch could be on the way. And before you get your hopes up… no, it’s not Alfa Romeo. It is instead Chinese…

Here’s TopGear.com’s roving correspondent, Cory Spondent, with his weekly, mostly incorrect exclusives Xbox’s 2027 Games Showcase will be a full 4K remaster of the 2026 Xbox Games Showcase, sources have revealed. The full livestream will be released in sparkling 4K fidelity, and will feature updated controls more in tune with modern viewers’ sensibilities. These will…

Three years of German at school and all I can remember is, “Enschuldigung, meine spiegelei ist nicht dahr.” Excuse me, my fried egg isn’t there. But here’s a new term: drift winkel. New for me, new for Audi (unless you cast your mind back 45 years to Michèle Mouton in a Group B Quattro). It…

The Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas has become a significant hoopla for carmakers to desparately plead that they are in no way a ‘legacy’ industry. The audience skews heavily tech, and this year AI voice interaction was hot hot hot. In the show-floor demos, trained operators would ask their cars to change the climate…

For a country that’s given the world some iconic off-roaders, opportunities to actually get your tyres muddy in densely-populated Japan are few and far between. That doesn’t stop the country’s four-wheeling enthusiasts from enjoying their machines, though, as we found out last year when we spent a night with a group of modified 4x4s in…

Picture the scene: it’s 1998. Pierce Brosnan is at the heart of the zeitgeist, with glossy modern Bond films of varying quality putting bums in cinema seats and a licensed shooter for that newfangled N64 proving quite popular. Your game studio has acquired the rights to make a Bond game too, but you’re keeping the…

Here it is, folks: the hotly anticipated Peugeot e-208 GTi has been revealed in production form for the very first time. Ooh! Ahh! Etcetera. The little electric hot hatch was unveiled as a concept on the eve of the 24 Hours of Le Mans last year, and now the 2026 edition of the race is upon…

As if you need to ask. This is Top Gear royalty, a status earned through its remarkable ability to repeatedly cheat death, as it did in a series of cruel and gratuitous punishments on TGTV more than 20 years ago. Now in its ninth generation, this new Toyota Hilux soldiers on like the previous eight…
