There are sports cars designed to impress people outside a restaurant. And then there’s the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A machine engineered by people who probably consider “comfort” to be a design flaw and “reasonable” to be something that happens to other manufacturers. Because this thing isn’t really a car in the traditional sense. It’s a scalpel with number plates. Every vent, every carbon-fibre blade, every ridiculous aerodynamic surface exists for one purpose only:to annihilate

There are fast cars. There are rare cars. And then there’s the Jaguar XJ220 — a machine so wildly ambitious, so brutally futuristic, that when it arrived in the early 1990s it made everything else look like it had been engineered with a spoon and mild optimism. This wasn’t just Jaguar building a supercar. This was Jaguar marching into a room full of Ferraris, Lamborghinis and Porsches, slamming a set of blueprints onto the table and saying: “Right. Move aside.” And for a brie

The late 1960s and early 1970s were a completely ridiculous period in automotive history. Manufacturers looked at rising fuel concerns, tightening safety regulations and growing public anxiety about horsepower… and responded by building enormous V8-powered lunatic machines capable of liquefying rear tyres at a moment’s notice. And perhaps the maddest of them all was the Dodge Charger R/T. Because this wasn’t merely a car. It was America on four wheels. Long bonnet.Aggressive

In the early 1990s, most supercars were still trying to master brute force. Then Bugatti arrived with something that felt like it had been engineered by people who’d already seen the future. The EB110 SS wasn’t merely fast. Plenty of cars were fast. The EB110 was something much stranger — a rolling demonstration of what happened when engineering obsession completely overpowered common sense. And honestly, thank God it did. Because this thing was absurd. Four turbochargers.All

There are supercars that chase attention. And then there’s the McLaren F1 — a machine so devastatingly brilliant it never needed to shout about it. Even now, more than thirty years later, the F1 still feels impossibly modern. Not because of giant touchscreens or artificial intelligence or some synthetic driving mode called “Extreme Plus.” But because Gordon Murray and McLaren approached the project with a level of engineering obsession that bordered on the clinically insane.

Some cars are fast. Some cars are beautiful. And then there are a very rare few that completely redefine what a driver’s car is supposed to feel like. The Porsche 911 Carrera RS 2.7 did exactly that. This wasn’t built during an era of gigantic touchscreens, adaptive suspension settings or configurable ambient lighting designed to make your cabin resemble a nightclub in Dubai. The RS 2.7 came from a time when engineers were still gloriously obsessed with one thing above all el

Ferrari 250 GTO: The Most Beautiful Racing Car Ever Built

There are fast cars. There are legendary cars. And then there is the Lamborghini Diablo — a machine so completely unhinged that even now, more than thirty years later, it still feels faintly dangerous just sitting still. This wasn’t a supercar designed by marketing departments or focus groups. Nobody in Sant’Agata sat around a polished table discussing cup holders, touchscreens or “user experience.” The Diablo was engineered during a glorious period in automotive history when

The Moment of Comparison Spend a Saturday looking at family EVs and the question surfaces quickly. You begin with something familiar. A brand that has been building cars for generations. The cabin feels intuitive, the dealership established and the salesperson talks about lineage and long-term ownership with quiet confidence. That reputation has been earned over time, and it carries weight. Then you sit in something like an MG ZS EV. The tone shifts. The focus is on specifica

Lane-rental expansion and AI traffic systems form the backbone of a new city-wide approach A week after London was again labelled the slowest-moving capital city in the world, Transport for London has set out a new five-year plan aimed squarely at congestion. The strategy, branded ‘London on the move’, is being positioned as the first attempt to manage roadworks and traffic flow across the whole capital rather than in disconnected borough silos. TfL says the focus is on techn

If you are learning to drive in Northern Ireland , or planning to start soon, the goalposts are moving. Not in theory. In practice. From 1 October 2026, Northern Ireland will introduce graduated driving licences for new drivers. It is the first part of the UK to do so, and if you are 17, 18 or already counting lessons, this is not something you can ignore. Before you even book a test The first change hits early. Learners will have to wait a minimum of six months before they a

Sixteen dart players. One castle. No walk-ons, no crowd, and no double to bail you out when everyone suddenly decides you’re “acting a bit weird”. Darts and The Traitors should have nothing in common. One’s about calm, control and doing the same thing perfectly over and over. The other is about paranoia, vibes, and getting voted out because you looked shifty while buttering toast. And yet… put elite dart players in a room together and it starts to feel strangely familiar. So

Another rebuilt Defender. Or is it? Let’s get this out of the way early. Yes, it’s another old Defender that’s been stripped, rebuilt and sold for serious money.Yes, it costs a completely unreasonable amount of money.And yes, at first glance it looks like the sort of thing that exists mainly so people can argue about it online. But this one’s awkwardly hard to dismiss. Most buyers don’t choose this one Most Landrovers customers don’t buy this version. About three-quarters of

Calm in the chaos The bivouac at the Dakar Rally is a temporary city built on exhaustion. Vans, tents and tools scattered across the desert, held together by generators and habit. It’s usually loud, chaotic and slightly unhinged, the sort of place where nobody is quite sure what day it is. This year, one area stood out for the opposite reason. In the middle of the Saudi desert sat a service zone that felt almost unnervingly calm. Clean. Ordered. Quietly efficient. It belonged

A concept that refused to stay buried More than 50 years after its debut as a show car, the Bertone Runabout has finally entered production. It does so not as a clean-sheet revival, but as a tightly limited reinterpretation built around existing Lotus hardware. Just 25 examples will be made, each priced at £400,000. The original Runabout appeared in 1969, designed by Marcello Gandini as an exercise in provocation rather than usability. Roofless and doorless, it paired radic

Jaguar has moved to shut down reports suggesting it is hedging its electric-only relaunch with a petrol-powered alternative, insisting its strategy remains unchanged. The claims centred on the forthcoming Jaguar Type 00, the electric GT that will spearhead the marque’s rebirth later this year. A weekend report, attributed to a source close to the project, suggested engineers had been asked to develop a petrol-engined or range-extender option to sit alongside the car’s electri

The quieter, more practical questions EV drivers now ask. EV range anxiety hasn’t gone away. It’s just changed shape. A few years ago, the worry was simple. ‘Will I run out of battery?’Now it’s a bit more grown up than that. And a bit more irritating. Most people looking at an electric car today aren’t picturing themselves stranded outside Tesco with 0 per cent showing. They’re picturing winter motorway runs, a charger that won’t connect, or a long drive home when time actual

Getting stranded in winter can be frightening, but staying calm and prepared makes all the difference. This guide explains how to use your car as a safe shelter, keep warm without draining the battery, stay visible if you need to leave the vehicle, and why preparation – from emergency kits to winter tyres – helps you stay safe until help arrives.

Winter driving brings added risks like ice, snow and poor visibility, but a little preparation goes a long way. Check the weather before travelling, clear all windows and lights fully, and drive smoothly with plenty of space between vehicles. Use higher gears where possible, take extra care on hills, and stay calm if you skid. Sensible speed, patience and preparation are key to staying safe in winter conditions.

A portable power bank is a simple but essential item to keep in your car during winter. Cold weather drains phone batteries faster, and if you break down, your phone becomes your lifeline. A fully charged power bank lets you make calls, use navigation, or access roadside assistance even if the car battery fails. Choose one with enough capacity for multiple charges and keep it topped up.
