Supercars

If you was thinking of going electric ten or even 5 years ago, the EV car market was a bit of a closed shop when it came to options. But that was then and this is now, and the savvy consumer gets a choice of pretty much everything from nippy city superminis to versatile 7-Seat SUVs (and everything in between).

In this roundup, we'll explore some of the standout electric cars making waves this year, as well as a few alternative selections that might not quite live up to the hype. So, let's dive into the electrifying world of 2025's EVs and see which ones spark joy.

For over a century, Morgan has remained a bastion of handcrafted British motoring by seamlessly melding tradition with a great big dose of modernity. Now though, with the unveiling of the new Morgan Supersport, the Worcestershire-based manufacturer presents its boldest interpretation of this ethos yet. A successor to the Plus Six, this new flagship offers customers a more contemporary aesthetic, a more refined dynamic and even more usability, all while retaining that analogue charm which has made Morgan a cult favourite among driving purists.

The motoring universe moves fast. But every so often, I realise it’s shifting even faster than I give it credit for. Take the new Black Badge Spectre for example. In my mind, Rolls-Royce Motor Cars have spent the last century meticulously evolving and refining the perfect V12 grand tourers. And yet seemingly, just like that, we are now fully electric. And the Black Badge represents the pinnacle of Rolls-Royce’s boldest evolution yet.

Hampton Manor can be described as an exceptionally rare gem nestled perfectly in the heart of the Midlands, where independent British heritage intertwines with a modern flair that feels effortlessly cool. It’s the kind of hotel that captivates with an understated elegance, drawing you in without the need for ostentation.

Deep in the heart of the Midlands is a place where Victorian heritage meets a kind of casual cool that doesn’t need strict formality to let you know you’re somewhere special. Hampton Manor might have the turrets and gothic windows from a Brontë, but it’s not here to take itself too seriously. This is less period drama and more hip retreat where the vintage globe in the corner is actually for storing the gin rather than a decorative effect.
