Peugeot 408 facelift: Is the hybrid 145 the right choice?

The Peugeot 408 facelift keeps the dramatic fastback crossover styling that made the car stand out while adding slimmer lighting, redesigned front details, illuminated badges and new wheel designs. The Hybrid 145 combines a 1.2 liter turbocharged three cylinder engine with a 48 volt electric system for 145 horsepower, but performance remains relaxed with 0 to 62 mph taking 10.2 seconds. Around town it can move briefly on electric power, although transitions back to the petrol engine and the six speed dual clutch gearbox are not always smooth. Fuel economy around 40 MPG also trails some stronger full hybrid rivals. Where the 408 performs better is practicality, offering generous rear legroom and a 536 liter boot despite its sloping body. With prices starting near £32,000, the lower trims make more sense than the expensive GT Premium.

The Golf R Variant takes the performance formula of the Golf R and combines it with the additional practicality of a wagon body.

700HP 2JZ turns this Chevy into a street weapon!

This Chevy Monte Carlo is anything but normal, combining an American body with a Toyota Chaser chassis and a turbocharged 2JZ engine producing around 700 horsepower. Built as a serious drift and rally machine, the car features a Samsonas sequential transmission, hydro handbrake, full roll cage, upgraded suspension, large steering angle, and anti-lag for instant turbo response. The Monte Carlo body was dropped over the Japanese chassis because the wheelbases were nearly identical, creating a unique cross-culture build that blends NASCAR styling with JDM engineering. Originally assembled in Russia and later brought to the United States, the car delivers huge smoke, aggressive acceleration, and a raw race-car experience that proves hot rodding can take almost any form.

Its electric powertrain produces a claimed 1,139 horsepower and 1,106 lb-ft of torque, while Porsche quotes a 0-60 MPH time of just 2.4 seconds and a top speed around 162 MPH.

The Cayenne EV lineup offers a claimed range of roughly 480 to 545 kilometers depending on configuration. On the road, the Turbo's acceleration is immediate and violent enough to raise an obvious question - has Porsche built an SUV that can challenge its own 911?

This $800,000 car was built completely by hand - and only 20 will ever exist

Richard takes a look at some of the wildest custom vehicles he has come across, beginning with an unusual truck that started as a joke and turned into a serious 10-week build. The crew gets the chance to drive it before helping secure a prime Saturday-night auction spot where million-dollar cars regularly cross the block. Later, Richard visits a small manufacturer creating extremely limited hand-built cars, with only around 20 planned and a price of roughly $800,000 each. Nearly every major piece is custom made, and each car requires thousands of hours of work before it is finished.

1929 Ford Model A vs Tesla full self-driving - The 97-year-old car actually won

A Tesla Model Y using Full Self-Driving faces a 1929 Ford Model A in an unusual five-mile real-world race to an Albertsons store. The Tesla is driven with navigation handling the route, while the Model A simply heads toward the destination using conventional driving. Tesla's system initially responds quickly and follows the route, but near the finish it misses a turn and is forced to go around. That mistake gives the nearly century-old Ford enough time to arrive first. After the race, the 98-year-old participant delivers his verdict - he believes Henry Ford made the better car.

Is the Škoda Enyaq still the sensible EV choice?

The Škoda Enyaq facelift refines one of Europe’s most popular electric SUVs with improved software, cleaner styling, better efficiency and a more polished everyday driving experience. The Enyaq 85 uses a 77 kWh usable battery with 286 PS and 545 Nm, delivering up to 359 miles of WLTP range while supporting improved DC charging and better battery preconditioning for colder conditions. Inside, the cabin remains one of the Enyaq’s strongest points with generous rear space, useful storage, a 585 liter boot, improved infotainment, tri zone climate control and practical family focused details throughout. Aerodynamic changes also help boost efficiency while the updated steering and throttle calibration make the car feel more engaging without sacrificing refinement. The biggest challenge is price, with well equipped versions climbing beyond £50,000 and putting the Enyaq against increasingly strong electric SUV rivals.

The $86,000 Corvette Grand Sport is fast - another $25,000 turns it into a 721-HP rocket

The 2027 Corvette Grand Sport X combines Chevrolet's new 6.7-liter naturally aspirated V8 with a front electric motor that adds 186 horsepower, bringing total output to 721 horsepower. During the first drive, the car recorded a 0-60 MPH run of 2.84 seconds on unprepared pavement, while Chevrolet claims it can achieve 2.7 seconds under the right conditions. The standard Grand Sport starts around $86,000, while adding the electrified X configuration costs roughly another $25,000. Unlike the more hardcore Z06, the Grand Sport can remain quiet and comfortable in Tour mode before becoming dramatically more aggressive in Sport and Track modes. That combination of everyday refinement and sub-three-second acceleration makes the Grand Sport X one of the most complete Corvettes in the C8 lineup.
