Of course, those EV miles aren’t free, but on an off-peak electricity tariff you’ll get 40-odd miles for not far shy of £1.50. At the UK’s current average domestic electricity price of 24.8p/kWh, it’s more like a fiver. That’s a little more punchy, but (by my maths) roughly the same as a combustion car doing 45mpg. Powertrain aside, this Touring fits that age-old cliché of ‘all the car you’ll ever need’ almost as well as any model I’ve run over the past 15 years; the boot’s massive, the seats are comfortable and there are just enough luxuries to keep my…
The red-lined carbon bucket seats keep you secure, and the clever knee pads mounted on the centre console and doors help prevent bruises after an intense track session. The interior is otherwise as you’ll find in the standard Supra. Advertisement – Article continues belowThis is an intimate little cabin, with a narrow windscreen and high-set dash that can be slightly intimidating at first. In front of the driver is a small pair of screens, with the main infotainment display clearly borrowed from BMW. However, the new seats and copious amounts of red Alcantara do just about enough to make it…

Used neat on the oil patches, it excelled, however, and its other cleaning powers improved when the concentration was doubled – which still made it cheaper to use than most of its rivals here. It’s also friendlier on the environment, with a lower acid content. This means you can use a jet wash…
The Daihatsu Copen (2003-2009) is another kei car that was sold in the UK officially. This one has an electrically retractable hard top – but watch out for rot. The Mazda MX-5 is another model to shortlist, because it’s much more readily available, great fun to drive and even relatively practical. What to look forRust in peace The Cappuccino was poorly rustproofed, so corrosion is common. Look for rot in the floorpans, sills and wheelarches, although it’s often hidden by the plastic lower panels, which are purely cosmetic. Panel work The roof panels, boot lid and bonnet are made of…
Another Amazon best seller, the shades in this Caramaz twin pack use the common suction pad fixing method. The panels are longer and darker than cheaper rivals, which means they block out more of the sun’s harmful rays once they’re fitted. The shades can be quickly folded and stored in a supplied bag, too. But the Caramaz blinds are let down by suction cup clips that aren’t up to the job of holding the panel in place. It means it’s difficult to justify the price. Buy now from Amazon Carkit Sun Shade SetPrice: around £1.99 (twin pack) Size: 45cm x…
Few names stir the hearts of automotive enthusiasts like Ferrari, and among its storied history, a handful of classic models rise above the rest—prized not only for their performance and design but also for their rarity and investment potential. Here are the top five Ferraris that command collectors’ attention—and wallets. Ferrari 250 GTO (1962–1964) Topping the list, the 250 GTO is often dubbed the “Holy Grail” of Ferraris. Just 36 units were built, each handpicked by Enzo Ferrari and his U.S. dealer Luigi Chinetti. Its racing pedigree, elegant design by Scaglietti, and immense rarity have driven prices to staggering heights—one…
Garagisti & Co., a British newcomer with big ambitions, has just unveiled the GP1—a machine that could easily be mistaken for one of Italy’s most legendary supercars if you weren’t paying attention. With its 6.6-liter naturally aspirated V-12, six-speed manual transmission, and feather-light one-ton weight, the GP1 is a deliberate throwback to the analog glory days of the ’80s, ’90s, and early 2000s. Under the carbon-fiber skin, the bespoke V-12 is good for an estimated 789 brake horsepower. That’s a staggering figure when you remember the GP1 tips the scales at just around 2,200 pounds. With rear-wheel drive and a…
I’ve been working as a food delivery man with both Uber and DoorDash for the past two years. If there’s one thing I’ve learned, sudden expenses can seriously interfere with our plans. I am sharing my story about how an instant cash advance for DoorDash drivers helped me when I was in trouble. The Day My Car Let Me Down It was a usual Friday evening, and I was gearing up for a busy night with DoorDash deliveries. As we know, many restaurants work 24/7, and DoorDash never closes. I’ve already begun my execution there. Suddenly, my car started making…
Ferrari is gearing up for one of its most exciting years yet. With the debut of a new hypercar, a refined grand tourer, and the brand’s first-ever electric vehicle, 2026 will mark a turning point for both Ferrari and the exotic car world. Whether you’re an enthusiast or a collector, these upcoming models are worth watching. Ferrari F80: The New Flagship Hypercar The F80 is Ferrari’s long-awaited successor to the LaFerrari. Limited to just 799 units, the F80 combines a mid-engine layout with a hybrid powertrain. It pairs a twin-turbocharged V6 engine with three electric motors for a combined output…
When it comes to high-performance Porsches, few models spark as much debate as the 911 Turbo and the 911 GT3. Both are world-class machines, but they’re designed with different types of drivers in mind. If you’re deciding between the two, here’s what you need to know. Performance Focus The 911 Turbo is all about speed and stability. With a twin-turbocharged flat-six engine and all-wheel drive, it delivers jaw-dropping acceleration with minimal effort. The Turbo S hits 60 mph in around 2.6 seconds and does it with comfort and control. It’s a car that makes fast driving feel easy. The GT3…
