car reviews

A Nineties poster car that's every bit as delightful in real life as it was on our bedroom wall

The Bentley Conti GT goes hybrid… and gets better. New found balance and dynamism combine with outstanding waftability

Unquestionably better than its rather lumpy predecessor... but why not just go for a 3 Series instead?

A six-cylinder sports drop-top sports car with a six-speed manual gearbox is a rare thing these days. The looks? That's up to you

Maserati reinvents itself for the electric age… with a car that doesn’t look too different from the old one. A bonkers V6 lives on, though

The GT3’s evolution continues with lessons taken from the RS and S/T. And it’s available with rear seats

The 911 remains the definitive sports car. Hybrid GTS is an engineering nerd’s dream, or pick the Carrera for simple pleasures

The MG Cyberster is an unabashed reinvention of the sports car. It won’t outhandle the establishment, but it does plenty that they can’t at a reasonable price

Celebrate the fact the Mustang lives on while you can. Seventh generation remains as desirable as ever

Mini’s tactic to replace its heartland hatch with a heavy facelift was a gamble, but it seems to have paid off

A Maserati convertible that’s every bit as good as those words sound. Engaging, well-engineered and effortlessly chic

The Mini Cooper is a great little car, overflowing with personality. This one just happens to be electric

Reforged Vanquish now has the poise and performance to trouble even the most aggressive supercars

AMG reinvents the GT as more of a… GT. Quick, composed, versatile and keeps the thunderous V8 alive a little longer

Looks slick, drives adroitly, and bigger engines and bougier specs see it shine brightest, of course. Pity the tech spoils it

Not an instant hitter like the cars that came before it, but a considerably greater all-rounder awaits those willing to give it time

The 12Cilindri feels like a summation of everything Ferrari does so well in 2024 with a few unexpected twists

McLaren’s first V6 hybrid. Slick powertrain, plentiful power, lovely steering. All the usual McLaren attributes, but why does it look so like a 570?

This feels like the car the Vantage should always have been: super fast, exciting, with a bit of edge

Validates the idea of an electric hot hatch. Cheeky and fun, if not overly fast

The Mercedes SL combines real performance with GT-like refinement and tech. But it's fiddly to operate and strangely unengaging to drive
