The Best Restomod Car Brands Are Making Old New Again

John Deckard — Tue, 12 May 2026 09:36:44 +0000

There will always be a constituent of the automotive community who considers it sacrilege to even consider upholstering a 1954 Mercedes-Benz 300 SL or 1967 Ford Mustang, let alone cut out its internal combustion powertrain and replace it with (gasp!) an electric one. However, for every period-correct purist, there’s a somewhat more open-minded driver who recognises that, hey, innovation is there for a reason, and enjoying a classic car doesn’t have to be accompanied by the risk of a highway […]

Porsche Honours The Father Of The 911 With The 911 GT3 90 F. A. Porsche

Henry Blake — Tue, 16 Dec 2025 04:33:52 +0000

When it comes to grail cars, the Porsche 911 tops many people’s lists. Introduced to the public in September 1964, the Porsche 911 was conceived by the late Ferdinand-Alexander ‘F. A.’ Porsche as a larger, more powerful replacement for the debut Porsche 356. Placing equal emphasis on form and function, the Porsche 911 remains a staple in the German marque’s lineup to this day, albeit with more variation and opportunities for customisation. To celebrate what would be F. A. Porsche’s […]

Porsche Unveils All-Electric Cayenne

Henry Blake — Fri, 12 Dec 2025 03:52:37 +0000

Porsche has given the Cayenne the electric treatment.

Two decades on and the German marque is aiming to set the benchmark for high-performance all-electric luxury SUVs, with the launch of the Cayenne Electric and Cayenne Turbo Electric. The entry-level Cayenne […]

Paul Smith Designs Production-Ready Colour-Blocked Minis

Henry Blake — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 06:55:06 +0000

While there was over two decades between the first and second collaborations between Mini and Paul Smith, the duo seem to have established a good cadence, linking up for the third time in four years. The British icons initially teamed up on the striking blue Mini Paul Smith in 1998, before creating the essentialist Mini Strip concept in 2021, and the Mini Recharged by Paul Smith in 2022, with the latter referencing the original design of 1998. The latest team […]

Henry Blake — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 05:13:28 +0000

The Prancing Horse is bringing back one its most iconic nameplates. Arriving as a successor to the outgoing SF90 Stradale, the new 849 Testarossa is a plug-in hybrid that improves upon the four-wheel-drive hybrid powertrain system used in the SF90 Stradale and introduces a design language that’s simultaneously fresh and referential. The 849 Testarossa churns out a whopping 1035 bhp, courtesy of a mid-rear twin-turbo V8 mated to three electric motors; the two e-motors on the front axle comprise the […]

Tanisha Angel — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 02:44:19 +0000

Polestar has made no secret of its intention to not merely revolutionise the electric vehicle market, but compete with the big boys. Namely, messieurs Porsche and Audi. And its latest release is a heavyhitter that’s set to do just that. Unlike Polestars 1 to 4, the Polestar 5 is built on an entirely new platform (rather than sharing the teachings of other brands under its parent company, including Volvo, Zeekr, and Smart), being the first to debut a hot-bonded aluminium […]

Mini & Deus Ex Machina Collaborate On A Duo Of Furious John Cooper Works

Henry Blake — Thu, 04 Sep 2025 04:32:18 +0000

Ever wondered what a Mini would look like if it was in possession of a healthy dose of rage? No? Well, no matter — Mini and Deus Ex Machina’s new collaboration does just that anyway. The somewhat unlikely duo has come together to create two one-of-a-kind, heavily customised John Cooper Works vehicles that celebrate performance and creativity in equal measure.

Strap in — the Aston Martin Vantage S is back. The ‘S’ stands for ‘sport’ and the newcomer is indeed sportier, with the new 2026 Vantage S churning out 670 bhp of power mated to the same 590 ft lbs torque as the standard model Vantage. The horsepower is up from 651 bhp compared to the mainline Vantage (for context, the new Ferrari Amalfi sits at 631 bhp), with the Mercedes AMG-sourced twin-turbo 4.0-litre V-8 engine the same across both […]
