The best supercars 2025, from Aston Martin to Ferrari July 28, 2025 Supercars are the preserve of the lucky few – yet we can all dream. Exotic and expensive, they deliver the ultimate in performance and driving excitement, alongside an unbeatable sense of occasion. The best supercars of 2025 include some familiar names, such as Aston Martin, Ferrari and McLaren, but there’s also room for two extreme [...]
Porsche Taycan Turbo GT review: The most powerful Porsche July 16, 2025 Porsche’s GT department is the superglue that connects the company’s road and racing cars. Since 1999, its vehicles have consistently set the benchmark against which others are judged, earning it plaudits from the press and a cult following among enthusiasts. Go to a Touristenfahrten track day at the Nurburgring and every second car is a [...]
A day with London’s exclusive Auto Vivendi supercar club July 7, 2025 We crawl through Cricklewood, battle through Brent Cross, then cruise sedately up the A1 (M). Finally, we take the exit, the traffic ebbs away and the road opens up ahead: a ribbon of empty tarmac between open fields. My overwhelming urge is to click the left paddle down a couple of gears, flatten my right [...]
Rolls-Royce Spectre Black Badge: Bright sparks, dark dreams July 7, 2025 The typical Rolls-Royce buyer – if such a person exists – is now 42 years old. For the Spectre, the average age drops to just 35. Given that I recently celebrated my 46th birthday and drive a 19-year-old Golf, those feel like sobering statistics. Clearly, I should have worked harder at school. Rolls-Royce’s shifting demographic [...]

Sympathy for the Devil: How Eccentrica reinvented a Lamborghini June 30, 2025 Both Emanuel Colombini and yours truly had a poster of a Lamborghini Diablo on our respective bedroom walls. However, only one of us made that childhood dream come true: not just by owning a Diablo, but also by hauling this wild Italian wedge abruptly out of retirement. Frankly, if I could still Blu Tack supercars [...]
Kingsley Range Rover KSR review: the best 4×4 so far? June 20, 2025 Out goes the low-range gearbox, in come cupholders and CarPlay. Luxury SUV customers – the kind of folk who might buy a Bentley Bentayga or Rolls-Royce Cullinan – know what their priorities are. “People don’t take these vehicles off-road,” explains Martin Gisborne, sales director at Kingsley Re-Engineered. “They will do most of their miles in [...]
Alpine A290 GTS review: 2025’s most exciting EV turns up the heat June 12, 2025 The reborn Renault 5 has already won almost every automotive award going in 2025, including the European Car of the Year title. It’s the greatest comeback since Elvis Presley at Burbank Studios in 1968, or Niki Lauda at the Italian Grand Prix in 1976. If the electric Renault is the best thing since sliced baguette, [...]
Morgan Supersport 2025 review: Judging a book by its cover June 5, 2025 Question: what do Donald Trump, the Morgan Supersport and Britain’s best-selling brand of yeast extract have in common? Answer: they all polarise people, like taking a pick-axe to the pie chart of public opinion. So, you will either love how the Supersport looks or you absolutely won’t. Sitting on the fence is seemingly not an [...]
Mazda CX-80 PHEV review: Hybrid SUV does things differently June 3, 2025 If you had contemplated buying a Mazda CX-60 SUV, but wanted to carry seven people, the new CX-80 could be the answer. With an upmarket image, it’s a more affordable challenger to vehicles such as the Land Rover Discovery and Audi Q7. Despite its considerable size, the CX-80 is not the largest SUV made by [...]
