Not all of us are lucky enough to drive the real deal, but some of us get pretty close. The Porsche 993 GT2 was a car embellished with firsts and honoured with lasts. It was a car that showcased the height of the Porsche design team’s efforts to tame the rear-engine catapult that was the 911 in all its unruly character. It was a car that borrowed race car technology from the ineffable 959, and was also the car that signalled the end of the Porsche air-cooled flat-six era. This is not a 993 GT2, but a lowly 993 Turbo,…
If you’re in the market for a smart-looking family hatchback that delivers good practicality, strong infotainment and a decent drive, then the Vauxhall Astra is definitely worth a look. Efficient petrol and diesel engines provide excellent fuel economy, while the plug-in hybrid model has a breadth of skills that might persuade business users out of that default SUV.The Astra isn’t perfect, however; interior quality could be a little better in places and space in the rear seats is a little tighter than we’d like, but as an overall package the Vauxhall Astra is definitely a strong contender in the family…
VerdictCreating a space for the driver-focused Macan T within Porsche’s sporty mid-sized SUV lineup was always going to be a difficult task. It’s not the pick of the range, but the T still manages to highlight the Macan’s excellent driving dynamics at a lower price point. It’s biggest problem? The more exciting V6-powered S is only slightly pricier. In 1968, Porsche denoted its lightest factory 911 as the 911 ‘T’ and since then the ‘Touring’ moniker has been bestowed on models that chase driver engagement rather than lap times.A pure driving experience isn’t something you’d look for in a family-friendly, plush…
Nissan has done a stellar job with its all-electric Ariya family SUV. Its breadth of capability and excellent quality will be a welcome surprise to buyers, as it stands head and shoulders above any other model in the Japanese manufacturer’s lineup.The Ariya is great to drive for a medium-sized crossover, while decent practicality, refinement and a premium cabin add to the appeal further. Pricing is competitive compared to its close EV rivals, too, although overall efficiency lags ever so slightly behind the best in class. That aside, the Nissan Ariya is a fantastic choice and one we wholeheartedly recommend.About the…
VerdictAs more hypercars turn towards full electrification to achieve this level of performance, that the Chiron Super Sport does it with petrol power is even more impressive – and it adds a massive dose of character, too. Its personality is much more dynamic than expected, but it’s still the hammer-blow performance that dominates the experience. It’s exquisite.A test drive is part of the process when it comes to the buying decision and even the specification process, but it’s also a chance to experience what Bugatti’s products can really do.I fire up the Stormtrooper-spec Chiron and the 1,578bhp 8.0-litre quad-turbo W16…

Meet the new Nissan Z. Same as the old Z.Well, sort of.Nissan has worked hard to hype the new Z – yet it’s an open secret that the new car shares some of its bones with the previous-generation car.Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.It’s been a few years since I’ve piloted an example of the last Z, but I do recall one thing: For all that car’s flaws and foibles, it succeeded at its core mission of being fun to drive.Thankfully, and most importantly, that carries over to this heavily updated version.Editor’s note: No swag disclosure is needed for this…
Much like the Ford F-150 Lightning and upcoming Chevrolet Silverado EV, a future Ram electric truck won’t be limited to a couple of models. According to Ram CEO Mike Koval, in an interview prior to the introduction of the Ram 1500 Revolution Concept Thursday at CES, there’s likely to be a wide range fully electric Ram trucks, including work-truck models and high-performance off-road TRX versions. “I truly believe that we can walk and chew gum,” Koval said. “This is a complement to our existing portfolio, and I would expect when we go to market from 2024, the lineup will look…
The day of V10 and V12 engines seems to be coming to an end for the Audi R8 for sale. As electric car technology has advanced, many automakers have shifted away from combustion engines. Likewise, combustion engines have come a long way and smaller engines can now produce more horsepower and torque than their big block brethren from a generation ago. With that in mind, Audi is sending off the R8 V10 with a big, throaty goodbye. The last V10 engine to grace the R8 has arrived and it’ll send this luxury sports car off in style and power. The…
