Lamborghini Temerario review: A drive on the wild side November 10, 2025 This is the one: the car I’ve looked forward to driving most in 2025. Last summer, I had a Zoom call with the chief designer, who revealed how it would look. A year ago, at the press preview in London, I interviewed the lead engineer about its performance and technical spec. It feels like I [...]
Porsche Taycan GTS Sport Turismo review: grace, space and pace October 24, 2025 Launching an EV felt like a big risk for Porsche back in 2019, yet the Taycan was a triumph. The press declared it a ‘proper Porsche’ and buyers formed an orderly queue. Within a year, it overtook the Macan as the best-selling Porsche in Europe. Then in 2021, it outsold the 911 worldwide. How quickly [...]
Porsche 911 Carrera S 2025 review: No longer the one-size-fits-all sports car October 24, 2025 The Porsche 911 was launched in 1964 as a one-size-fits-all package. Stump up £3,438 and you got a 130hp 2.0-litre engine inside a coupe body. Not your cup of kaffee? Sir or Madam could consider a Jaguar E-Type or Mercedes-Benz 190 SL instead. It didn’t take long for the 911 range to expand, however. A [...]
Aston Martin DBX S review: Our favourite luxury SUV October 21, 2025 When Aston Martin introduced the DBX707 in 2022, it expected this faster, more expensive model to account for 50 percent of DBX sales. Instead, fully 90 percent of customers plumped for the 707hp newcomer, and the original 550hp DBX was discontinued soon afterwards. The message was clear: Aston Martin buyers wanted more performance and they [...]
Rolls-Royce Corniche Shooting Brake review: Estate of the art October 21, 2025 Niels van Roij looks every inch the English gentleman. The Dutch-born designer is wearing an immaculately cut tweed suit with leather-lined pockets, topped off with a green woolen tie. Only later do I realise that identical fabrics were used to trim the Rolls-Royce waiting outside. “I have a suit created to celebrate each car, using [...]
Lamborghini opens flagship UK showroom in the heart of Mayfair October 20, 2025 Lamborghini has opened a new flagship UK showroom in Berkeley Square. The Lamborghini Mayfair site is positioned just across the road from arch-rival Ferrari, making life simpler for London’s supercar shoppers. Hosting a champagne reception for 350 of the Italian marque’s best customers, Lamborghini CEO Stephan Winkelmann toasted a “true destination showroom” that will complement [...]
Rolls-Royce Corniche Shooting Brake review: Estate of the art October 9, 2025 Niels van Roij looks every inch the English gentleman. The Dutch-born designer is wearing an immaculately cut tweed suit with leather-lined pockets, topped off with a green woolen tie. Only later do I realise that identical fabrics were used to trim the Rolls-Royce waiting outside. “I have a suit created to celebrate each car, using [...]
RML GT Hypercar 2025 review: pushing the Porsche 911 to its limit September 11, 2025 Does the world need another Porsche 911-based restomod? After all, that territory is already fought over by Singer Vehicle Design, Theon Design, Tuthill, Kalmar Automotive, Gunther Werks, Paul Stephens AutoArt, Ruf, Thornley Kelham and many more. The RML GT Hypercar, however, is far removed from a typical ‘backdated’ 964. With a current Porsche platform and [...]
Kia EV9 review: electric SUV is a Range Rover rival September 8, 2025 Kia has traditionally been the automotive equivalent of Aldi: a brand that majors on no-nonsense value for money. The new EV9, however, is the size of a Range Rover and costs from £65,985. It pushes Kia into conflict with upmarket SUVs from Solihull and Stuttgart – not to mention Hyundai-Kia’s own premium marque, Genesis. Can [...]
Kamm 912C Full Carbon review: Seeing the light in Porsche restomod September 3, 2025 Kamm describes the 912C as ‘an antidote to extreme hypercars’. After several hours spent exploring the back roads of Oxfordshire, I’m minded to agree. However, this particular brand of medicine isn’t a herbal remedy or soothing sedative; it’s a shot of neat adrenalin, plunged directly into a major artery. Less an antidote, then, more like [...]
