Volkswagen's quintessential hot hatch saw a stunning return to form in Mk5 guise. It’s aged like a fine wine and is an appreciating modern classic tod…

The Boxster GTS 4.0 was among the best of Porsche’s petrol 718 models, which are sadly no more

The Murciélago spans old and new testament in the good book Lamborghini, melding old-school character with modern usability

With a new 911 Turbo on the horizon, all eyes turn to the outgoing model that stood out as a rarity in the model’s recent lineage – a 911 Turbo that w…

The Clio Williams is seen as the quintessential hot Renault from the 90s, but the earlier 16V was a cracking car in its own right. Here’s what it’s li…

It’s got a 10,000rpm V8 supported by a trio of electric motors, but does the tech dilute the Lambo soul?

The standard Kia EV6 is a rounded and fundamentally sound electric car, giving some more ‘premium’ rivals a run for their money

Its looks may suggest otherwise, but this latest Atom is all‑new – and a huge leap forward, too

When the Ariel Atom was launched 26 years ago, we’d never seen – or driven – anything like it. We revisit one of those early cars to see if it’s stil…

It looks nicer inside and out and drives a bit better but the Cupra Born doesn’t betray its yawn-worthy MEB underpinnings

The ID.3's been updated to address some of its key weak points, and a new range structure makes it more competitive than ever

Almost a year since we first drove it, does the new Renault 5 still impress beyond the hype? Absolutely.

Lamborghini’s answer to the Aston Martin DBX has been given a major overhaul, going hybrid-only in the process. Has it become easier to like in the pr…

The M2 has evolved into a near-500bhp powerhouse of a coupe, and still comes with three pedals. It’s a barrel of laughs, if not as deft and rewarding …

Audi’s family SUV goes into its third generation as an impressively refined if engine-limited BMW X3 alternative

The McLaren 720S was so good when new in 2017 it’d still land a few punches in group tests today. They’re available for cheap but move with caution.

The JCW convertible is usefully less aggressive on the road than the hatch, but suffers the usual soft-top compromises too

Cupra’s top-spec Formentor has the same 328bhp engine and four-wheel drive tech as the Volkswagen Golf R. How does that feel in a taller, more practic…

The Porsche 911 had not become the perfected sports car we know and love today by the 1980s. But it was enormously charming and potent for its era
