Everything you need to know about cars this week: 17 Mar ‘19
A new Tesla, the ultimate E30 BMW M3, a 2JZ-engined MkV Supra and more
This is the Tesla Model Y
“When Musk first announced the Model Y would make its debut on March 14, he tweeted: ‘Model Y, being an SUV, is about 10 per cent bigger than Model 3, so will cost about 10% more and have slightly less range for same battery.’ To be fair, that’s some good summary right there, so if there’s somewhere you need to be, that may be all the info you need...”

“Allow us to (re)introduce you to the E30 BMW M3. One that’s been totally revamped from the ground up into a perfect, shiny example of why BMW ruled the Touring Car series back in the Eighties. It’s been built by a company called Redux, and in short, it looks quite magnificent...”
Porsche 911 Cabriolet review: 444bhp sports car tested
“That’s the way of the Porsche world these days – even the least focused, most boulevard 911 has the power of a full-blooded supercar from a generation ago, will quite literally dry your eyeballs with its straight-line pace, and can be optioned up with more computing power than the Apollo space program, so it’ll embarrass supposedly more focused cars with its lap times...”

“The crown jewel of performance in a Golf remains Golf R,” he (Volkswagen board member Jürgen Stackmann) told us. “We don’t want to take hybrids to a ridiculous strength. A hybrid needs to be affordable, and have an ecological reasoning. It’s not just for performance. The GTE is an alternative choice for a GTI customer, and that will remain. The performance king will remain a Golf R, and the Golf 8 R is going to be fantastic...”
Crikey, it’s a Honda Civic Type R police car
“This won’t actually be a patrol car, which is bad news for fans of cool police cars (us) but good news for fugitives in Boonoo Boonoo, Wambangalang and Bald Nob. And everywhere in between...”
The Porsche Taycan Cross Turismo will arrive in 2020
“Remember the Porsche Mission E Cross Turismo concept - the jacked-up, 600bhp electric estate car? Well, there’s good news. Porsche has confirmed it’ll arrive in showrooms towards the end of 2020...”
A hybrid Ferrari supercar will be here by summer
“Ferrari’s big cheeses have confirmed that a hybrid supercar is due within ‘the next two to three months’. Not only that, we’re also set to see five new models before the year is out, with hybridisation becoming a necessity to keep potty power figures rising and emissions falling...”

“Amidst the mayhem of Koenigsegg revealing the 1,578bhp Jesko hypercar, TG.com grabbed a ten-minute chinwag with the man himself to chat about the trends in hypercar-dom...”
Someone’s put an 800bhp 2JZ engine in a new Supra
“It was only a matter of time. This, ladies and gentlemen, will decimate all. Welcome to the first new A90 Toyota Supra that’s had its BMW-sourced 3.0-litre turbo swapped out for that engine: Toyota’s 2JZ from the Mk IV Supra...”

“Given the amount of barn find stories on the internet these days it’s a wonder that there’s anything out there still left to discover. Well, we can now all stop looking, the game is up – things won’t get any better than this people...”
The big interview: TG talks to McLaren driver Lando Norris
“When the lights go out for F1’s curtain raiser in Melbourne this weekend, 19-year-old Lando Norris will become the youngest British driver ever to start a Grand Prix. He’s also the youngest driver on this year’s grid, which just so happens to be the youngest in F1 history. Not only that, he’s taken the seat vacated by veteran Fernando Alonso...”
Range Rover Evoque review: even better second time round?
“You don’t mess with success. But you shouldn’t be complacent. Where amid this balancing act is the new Range Rover Evoque?”
Infiniti is leaving western Europe
“Infiniti will stop selling cars for Western Europe by 2020, and will focus instead on its customers in North America and China. It means the Q30 and QX30 – currently built in the UK at Nissan’s Sunderland plant – will be discontinued later this year...”
This Porsche concept celebrates 50 years of the 917
“Look closely and you’ll see it’s a bit rough around the edges - this is a full-scale model, nothing else, that’s supposed to give us an idea of what a modern-day 917 might look like. No plans to turn it into a real thing, which is a crying shame because it looks ace...”
Confirmed: the re-imagined Lister Knobbly is happening
“Lister’s relationship with Jaguar means the V6 or V8 from the F-Type is likely - the original Knobbly used a Jaguar inline six. Whatever engine it uses, though, no doubt it will be fast enough to rearrange your exposed face, and sound quite good with it...”
