How do you keep the muscle car faithful happy when you’ve got an electric powertrain? Throw some ideas at the wall and see if they stick…

Audi's model mash-up project has lost a little something along the way

Everything good about the A3 Sportback, just a little less practical. A complete car that won't get on your nerves

The Mk4 Skoda Superb is the Czech firm’s best effort yet. Get one while you still can
