New Morgan Supersport is here to take on the Porsche 911 Life&Style Morgan has affixed a ‘Supersport’ badge to go-faster versions of its existing cars since 1927. However, after 98 years, the Supersport has become a model in its own right, replacing the Plus Six at the top of the Morgan range.

No luxury markets outperformed the FTSE 100 last year March 5, 2025 The once reliable luxury market suffered last year, with even the top performers in the market only posting modest gains in a weak market. The Knight Frank Luxury Investment Index (KFLII), which tracks the performance of 10 popular investments, fell 3.3 per cent for the second year in a row. The FTSE100, meanwhile, posted gains [...]
Mythron Cars Healey: Reborn classic sports car is small and mighty February 26, 2025 With its cartoonish ‘Frogeye’ face, Lilliputian dimensions and 43hp engine, the Austin-Healey Sprite wasn’t the obvious starting point for a giant-killing race car. Yet this plucky roadster punched well above its sub-600kg weight, achieving a 1-2-3 finish at the 12 Hours of Sebring in 1959, then a class win for Stirling Moss a year later. [...]

Mercedes-AMG GT 63 review: Taking on the 911 Turbo February 12, 2025 The previous AMG GT was a bit of a brute. With steroid-pumped styling, a bombastic V8 up front and rear-wheel drive, it embodied AMG at its most ‘OMG’: a muscle car that took a wrong turn off Detroit’s Eight Mile Drive and somehow ended up in Stuttgart. The new GT is, well… more of a [...]
Jaguar E-Type Series I restomod: A reborn Jaguar done right February 12, 2025 Elon Musk didn’t like it. Nor did Nigel Farage. The Twitterer-in-Chief responded to Jaguar’s rebrand video by asking “Do you sell cars?”. And the MP for Clacton went further, declaring: “I predict Jaguar will now go bust. And you know what?
