Supercars

In 2009 PSA the parent company of Peugeot Citroen and now Vauxhall resurrected the DS name. They used it to denote certain models in the range as premium: for example the Citroen DS3 Citroen DS4 Crossback. It was always part of the Citroen range, then in 2015 PSA decided that they would make the DS a stand-alone luxury brand, a halo brand if you will.
On face value, the DS7 Crossback is just a large SUV. There are a lot of them about, 5 seats, nice interior, nothing particularly unusual or special.

Lexus is not the first brand that pops up in car debates, but that may be changing. People are slow to catch on to good things, but Lexus has enjoyed a record sales year, 70% of which are hybrid SUV’s.
The new Lexus UX F Sport Hybrid is a great introduction to great value luxury SUV’s. First off, it has a 2l 4 cylinder inline petrol engine with a combined 181bhp. The petrol engine pumps out 150bhp and the electric motor over the front axle gives out 107bhp. It does 0-62 in 8.5 secs, with a combined 49mpg, though with careful driving you can probably top that.

Ahh, the ubiquitous Range Rover, loved for decades by so many for its off-road mastery and palpable history of adventure, yet so derided for being ill-used as a town car.

Volvo were kind enough to supply us with a Bursting Blue example of the new Volvo XC60 T8 Twin Engine AWD R-Design Pro.
Before we get too carried away, we have to warn you, this is a spoiler alert. The XC60 is magnificent.
This is probably one of the most technically advanced car we’ve driven but is also one the most complete, accomplished packages we’ve seen. All of the driver aides (we’ll come on to them later) and all of the very impressive technology that make the XC60 what it is, work seamlessly and in harmony with each other.

Bentley Motors launched the new Bentley EXP 100 GT electric supercar of the future at their headquarters in Crewe. CW1 House, normally used as a car showroom for visitors and clients, had been reimagined as an earth, air, fire and water fantasy home of the future. I sat down amidst this light extravaganza with Bentley’s Head of Interior Design, Brett Boydell, to chat about the new luxury project that was to be unveiled in an hour on the platform before us.

It's a lovely hot day, the sun is shining and I’m in the McLaren secret garden at the Goodwood Festival of Speed with Rob Melville, director of Design at McLaren. As I finish off an extremely good chocolate mousse we get stuck into the reason for being here. The launch of the new McLaren GT.
