'As dangerous as possible — the best way to be’: Political satirist Ralph Steadman on cartoons and working with Hunter S. Thompson (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We might be mere mortals, but mischief is eternal. And so it is that when I ask Ralph Steadman, aged 90, how he’s keeping busy these days, he laments, without missing a beat, that he ‘can only run five acres a day’ and his face spreads into a devilish smile. Ralph has made a life out of mischief. A career in cartoons began with training in technical drawing with the Royal Air Force, and a correspondence course at the Percy Bradshaw Press Art School. His first cartoon was published in the Manches
The Glovebox: A new era at McLaren, best of Goodwood Revival and say hello to Kermit and Nevada (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It has been a busy week in Woking, where British speedsters par excellence McLaren announced, among other things, new branding, £500 million of new investment from their Abu Dhabi owners, 1,000 new jobs, a new factory and a performance SUV (the first in the brand’s 63-year history). As previewed when I wrote about the reveal of the McL 6GT back in August, McLaren is looking to build its future on the bedrock of its past. The firm has long been known for its technical expertise, but there’s only
The Bentley Torcal is an electric car that isn’t afraid (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Napoleon said many things, but perhaps most famous was his suggestion to never interrupt an enemy when they were making a mistake. The urge to be first, to set a precedent, can be a rewarding one, but not necessarily the right one. Sometimes, it’s better to sit back, wait, and see which way the wind is blowing before making your move. The wind is blowing electric, of that we can be sure. Such are the demands of democracy in a changing climate. But the question is, how do we want to be electric?
Salon Privé 2026: McLarens, Duesenbergs, Miuras and more from Blenheim's best garden party (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Do supercars sparkle in the rain? The answer, somewhat sadly, is no not really. But they still stand out, especially when presented on the lawns of Blenheim Palace in Oxfordshire. For the aspiring aesthete, you would struggle to find a trinity quite as holy as the Vanbrugh designed palace, the Capability Brown gardens and some of the finest cars ever made. We are, of course, at Salon Privé. Regardless of the rain or the shine (and on Wednesday, it was very much rain), this was still the place to
What fascinates a man who has seen it all? A Bugatti Veyron (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My father was never too interested in cars, but he has always liked things. Contraptions fascinate him, whether they are aircraft from the Second World War, or lawn mowers, or CD players. If it spins, or vibrates, or moves, or takes an input and produces an output, he will stare at it with a watchful gaze, processing the motions of its mechanics, not always particularly interested in how it works, but seemingly overwhelmed with gratitude that it does. My father is 79 years old. He is retired and
