Can you guess what it is? Wed, 16 May 2012 11:56:51 +0100Recurrent players of our infrequent guessing game will know that we've had an eclectic assortment of cars enter our damp, underground area that has been sliced into bays for the purposes of parking uniformity. We've had utilitarian cars, fast cars and, er... affordable cars. But we can honestly say http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mercedes-benz-g-class-history-2012-05-15?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mercedes-benz-g-class-history-2012-05-15?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingTo commemorate the G63’s launch, we chart the history of Benz’s venerable brickWed, 16 May 2012 10:58:56 +0100We recently opined that there's no godly reason to buy a G63 AMG. The styling's antiquated, it's horribly expensive, and it's utterly terrifying to drive. But that hasn't stopped swathes of you commenting that you still want one. Badly. So we thought you deserved a bit of a G-Class history lesson (ihttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mercedes-benz-g-class-g63-amg-first-drive-2012-05-14?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mercedes-benz-g-class-g63-amg-first-drive-2012-05-14?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingAMG’s new 5.5-litre V8 in a G-Class must be a recipe for success, right? Right? Paul Horrell reportsWed, 16 May 2012 10:55:40 +0100As we know from so many other AMG cars, this twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8 engine is a marvel. It's not even fazed by hauling the G-class. Put it up against a weight of 2.6 tonnes and a Cd of 0.53, and it still manages to produce serious performance. At any revs, a jab of the throttle calls up a satisfyihttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/bmw-m135i-revealed-2012-05-14?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/bmw-m135i-revealed-2012-05-14?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingThree-door version of the new 1-Series debuts with range-topping 320bhp versionWed, 16 May 2012 10:57:45 +0100Three important stats, two fewer doors and one turbo: all the information you'll ever need to begin your assault on Internet forums across the globe. This is the production-ready BMW M135i. But, you're thinking, haven't we already seen this car before? Well, yes.

Ten litres! It also beats the Audi A4 Avant's piffling rear deck by five litres. That's five whole litres of extra Things you can stack into the rear of the new Three!

Aren’t the cars pretty?Mon, 14 May 2012 11:51:58 +0100Yes, Aston Martin's taking eight racers to James' favourite holiday destination for enduro epic, the ADAC Zurich Nürburgring 24 Hours. It's the seventh time Aston's braving what Jackie Stewart christened the ‘Green Hell', but this is the first year it'll lunge into the SP9 category.

This got us thinking.
