Having explored numerous Lexus models, the perpetual refinement evident in each iteration never fails to impress. But does the Lexus ES 300h uphold the legacy of Lexus technology while delivering the smooth comfort and effortless driving experience for which the brand is renowned?
For our review, we toured all around Somerset, Devon and Cornwall, taking in the gorgeous historic towns of Bath, Penryn and Falmouth.
We toured the Bentley Bentayga Hybrid up to Bath in Somerset and then down to Beachy Head in East Sussex. And did a 15 km Tough Mudder with 30 world-famous obstacles.
We even participated in a 15 km Tough Mudder, complete with 30 world-famous obstacles. As we always say, to really get to know a car, you have to tour with it. It's not just about the specs; it's also about what it's like to live with daily.
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. See our review of the superb Jet Skiing experience at Brighton Boating Lagoon Watersports. https://www.lagoon.co.uk/course/stag-and-hen-grou…
We cruised in the Ferrari Roma for a 300-mile tour of the South in the glorious summer heat, passing Hove Lagoon for some windsurfing and wakeboarding.
This is the new "discreet" GT from Ferrari, an upgrade from the Portofino which we loved. Ferrari has changed 70% of the components and you feel that in the driving.
The Audi R8 V10 is somewhat of a legend in its lifetime. The classic shape, supercar performance, minimalist interior and celebrated engine roar made this car much loved by all sportscar fans.
We took it on a Shakespearean tour of Stratford, staying at the wonderful Arden Hotel opposite the amazing Royal Shakespeare Theatre, and ending our trip at the celebrated and venerable Great Fosters hotel in Surrey.
We took the Bentley on a tour of Dorset and Devon, stopping at The Eastbury Hotel in Sherborne and The Cary Arms in Babbacombe Bay on the English Riviera.
The GTC Speed is a two-door, four-seat Grand Tourer offering opulence and extreme supercar performance, albeit at a hefty price. Though it delivers amazing quality for value compared to similarly priced cars, particularly when you consider the fine craftsmanship and futuristic engineering that go into making this legendary cruiser.
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.
The Lamborghini Urus is a huge departure for such a massive supercar icon, many said it would ruin the brand and should never be done. I felt the same way until I drove this new SUV all over Surrey, Sussex and Somerset on a glorious driving tour that changed my preconceptions.
Though this is not the first SUV they made, indeed the Lamborghini LM002, aka "Rambo Lambo”, was an off-road style jeep manufactured by Lamborghini between 1986 and 1993 and resembled a Humvee.
