Best luxury supercar reviews
Rolls-Royce products enjoy an expansive lifetime, ultimately becoming timeless expressions of good taste, beauty and luxurious perfection. Phantom occupies a unique, pinnacle position in this regard, being revered for its timeless elegance.
To get to know a car, you really need to live with it on tour. So where better to take the McLaren 720S than to northern France along the amazing coastal roads, smooth as silk autoroutes and picturesque country lanes?
It came delivered in a box to the door, in a fetching but discreet Sarthe Grey, almost as if it did not want to be noticed. Paradoxically it showed off the lines magnificently, reflecting every hue and dapple of the morning light in the sublime bodywork. Unboxing such beauty as the McLaren 720S is like all your Christmases at once.
It seems the tide may well be turning, ever so slightly. For a few years now, it's been all about the adventure bike. Everyone makes them and everyone else buys them, it seems.
In the car world, manufacturers spend huge amounts of money trying to design cars that will appeal to everyone and offend no one, in an effort to capture as many sales as possible. The end result is a sea of anonymous SUV’s that all look broadly similar and have very few stand out characteristics. They are little more than white goods.
Energica are an electric motorcycle manufacturer.
When Toyota first announced they were bringing back the Supra I was like an excited child on the run-up to Christmas.
I was 6 years old in 1978 when Toyota released the first Supra. It was actually called the Celica Supra over here until 1986 when the 3rd generation Supra was released and the Celica connection was dropped.
My colleague Darren Lynsdale and I toured the Mustang Mach-E around the South of England, taking in a lovely little cafe on the waterfront in Hove, exploring every beach around Shoreham and the River Adur, plus the country lanes of Sussex and the Surrey hills.

Wow, The Audi TT RS is amazing, way beyond expectations. Is this really an Audi? If I got into this car blindfolded I would swear it was Italian, there is a genuine passion here paired with incredible engineering.
The performance and feel are way beyond what I would call serious or sober, words I normally associate with Audi.
Have you ever wanted to properly test one McLaren against another? We thought it might be fun to pit the new McLaren GT against the McLaren 720S Coupe. So we schlepped up to Millbrook Proving Ground in Bedford to give it a go.
Millbrook is an iconic test track for the world’s leading automotive manufacturers with an unparalleled series of on-road and off-road circuits designed to test cars in all possible real-world road conditions.
I took my son in the Ferrari F8 Tributo to Paris for the tour of a lifetime. To acquaint yourself with such a chef d’oeuvre you must challenge yourself and the car. And boy was it fun around the massive roundabout that is the Arc de Triomphe.
The Ferrari F8 Tributo Spider is the upgrade to the terrific 488 and lies between it and the Pista. Think of it as the younger sibling, faster, lighter and stronger but with the same DNA. Ferrari began their open-top V8 cars with the 308 GTS in 1977 and their legend continues with the new F8 Tributo Spider.
