    Are luxury cars giving in to EV power? NEW Bentley Torcal plus £8k barge challenge | TGS (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    The Bentley Torcal may not be the world’s first luxury EV, but it could open the floodgates for others to follow.You can argue all day about who came up with the first, though it’d be hard to argue against the Rolls-Royce Spectre. The company was once famous for its buttery-smooth V12s now selling battery-powered coupes in droves, so it’s little wonder why Bentley has followed suite. Of course, the Torcal uses the same underpinnings as the Porsche Cayenne and Audi Q6 e-tron, and in S guise can p

    NEW Jensen Interceptor GTX! Plus £15k retro car challenge and future cult classics (opens the original)

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    It’s been many, many decades, but the Jensen Interceptor name is back. Only this time, it’s a humungous, track-only V8 luxury barge. Confused? You should be, because track-only specials are typically based on light, mid-engined supercars rather than four-door coupes the size of a canal boat.

    Does the Mercedes-AMG 646 preview a V8 CLE 63? Plus £30k retirement cars and Euro 7’s big engines (opens the original)

    Episode notes · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    We’ve been expecting a V8-engined CLE for some time now, but we weren’t expecting it to look like this.

It’s a radical looking thing that looks almost like AMG’s take on the Ford Mustang GTD. Up front is the new and improved M117 Evo V8, now with a flat-plane crank, which puts out a stonking 646hp to the rear wheels. With the four-pot C63 now resigned to the hist

    Episode notes

    Read excerpt

    New Chinese electric performance cars are coming thick and fast, but they’ve yet register on the enthusiasts radar. Just what do they need to do to win petrolheads over?That’s easier said than done, especially when a) the cars themselves are almost exclusively battery powered and b) the enthusiast market pales in comparison to the sheer volume of buyers in China wanting hi-tech EVs. So we take a closer look at the current crop of fast Chinese EVs, from the Denza Z9 to the Xiaomi SU7 Ultra, and s
