Ah, piloting the Bentley Flying Spur Mulliner through the Surrey Hills on the first sun-drenched days of summer is a thing of joy, a sensory feast of dappled sunlight and English countryside finery. A week spent unearthing hidden country pubs and sampling the burgeoning vineyards springing up like alcoholics at a Chelsea gallery opening—what could be more splendid?
The Power Beneath
McLaren Artura Spider V6 Hybrid Review
Over the years, I've put plenty of McLarens through their paces on racetracks across the UK and Europe. But this time, we wanted a test that better reflected the typical lifestyle of an average buyer. Enter the McLaren Artura Spider: sleek, innovative, and distinctly hybrid.
We took the Ferrari Purosangue on a thrilling tour through Somerset and Bath for our review, staying at the delightful Bailbrook House Hotel in Bath for an unforgettable sejour.
The Ferrari Purosangue is an 80s rally car with four doors and four seats, featuring the latest racing suspension plus a V12 monster of an engine and high ground clearance.
Just when I think I'm becoming jaded, Lexus surprises me with something unexpected and cool. They profoundly understand that modern mobility encompasses advanced technology alongside engineering excellence. Lexus fuels its luxury car innovations with research and development funding from mass-market Toyota vehicles. However, Lexus is far more than a souped-up Toyota—it stands apart with a distinctiveness akin to the difference between Bentley and Audi.
The Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD Spyder is smoother than a penguin in a tuxedo. It's the epitome of automotive elegance, gliding along the streets with a grace that could make a swan jealous. If sophistication were a car, this Spyder variant would be leading the parade, turning heads and effortlessly oozing style like a catwalk model at a fashion show. And Spyder means that you get to enjoy the open sky as seen from the comfort of a supercar.
We decided the best way to get the measure of the Range Rover Evoque Hybrid was to take it on a few adventures. First, we cruised down to Brighton Marina for a long jet ski safari with the amazing team at Lagoon.co.uk.

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.
Mike Flewitt, CEO of luxury supercar maker McLaren Automotive, today confirmed the introduction of the brand’s all-new, flexible, lightweight vehicle architecture which will underpin its next generation of electrified supercars.
The new architecture, designed specifically to accommodate new hybrid powertrains, has been entirely engineered, developed and produced in-house in the UK at McLaren’s £50m state-of-the-art McLaren Composites Technology Centre (MCTC) in the Sheffield region.
The LC Convertible is Lexus’s first soft-top model and no effort has been spared in ensuring its folding roof meets the highest standards of design and quality. To achieve its goals Lexus used innovative construction, engineering and materials and tested the roof to breaking point, far beyond what might be expected in day-to-day use by owners.
