It’s been a while since we’ve discussed a ‘trinity’ of cars, the term probably most famous from the hybrid hypercar ‘holy trinity’ – the McLaren P1, Porsche 918 Spyder and Ferrari LaFerrari – of 2013. But now there’s another, as it turns out Toyota isn’t revealing just one sports car this week. It’s revealing three. […]

We all have our dream cars as teenagers, the stuff that you might just have been able to get behind the wheel of if you’d scrimped and saved. For Welshman John Williams, who was 18 in 1972, there was only one car for him: the Aston Martin DB5. Gotta love teenage ambition. But there’s also […]

So the cat’s out the bag. With John announcing last week that he’d be moving on to pastures new, we’ve only gone and nabbed PistonHeads contributor Sam Sheehan to fill his vacant seat in our stuffy podcast studio. Sam’s been part of the PH family since he joined as a staffer many years ago, during […]

I always get the sense that the moment we start talking about electric cars on The Gassing Station, especially crossovers and SUVs, the people listening begin to drift off. And given a lot of people tune in while driving, it’s a subject best avoided. But we’re opening today’s episode with a quick overview of the […]

With the mixed reception afforded to the new BMW M5, perhaps the old M8 will receive more attention than it did when new. The F92, after all, boasts all that was so good about the old M5 – 625hp twin-turbo V8, smart xDrive chassis, classy interior – in an even better looking body. Don’t forget […]

 As discovered recently with the new A6 Avant, there’s not much beating a big diesel Audi for moving lots of people lots of distance with the minimum of fuss. That being said, the regular TDI isn’t what you’d call rampantly powerful, and the A6 range was notable for launching only with four-cylinder power; whether petrol, PHEV or […]

It’s probably fair to say that the current generation of Z4, the G29, has not captured the public’s imagination in quite the same way as previous iterations of BMW’s rear-drive roadster. Certainly not in terms of sales volume, at any rate: in its heyday, typified by the E85 (not to mention its ‘90s predecessor, the […]

Surely nothing speaks to the topsy-turvy-ness of the 2025 car market like the sight of a discontinued electric SUV for sale at a dealer outwardly concerned with used Lotuses. It’s like buying a roast dinner from an ice cream van. Or, if you prefer, a dead parrot from a Blockbuster store. Certainly, you’d need a […]

It would be reasonable to suggest that expectations are pretty much sky high for what Toyota is going to unveil in Japan next week. Some of that can be attributed to the fact that we’re starved of exciting new cars – but mostly it’s because this will be Gazoo Racing’s standalone supercar, almost certainly with V8 […]

These days, when production of a much-loved combustion engine comes to an end, there’s a great deal of sadness because nothing like it will happen again. But Bugatti doesn’t play by normal rules; while its 8.0-litre W16 is no longer being made – and this Bolide is the very last vehicle to receive it – […]
