Throwback to when I first saw the Genesis X Convertible concept in the flesh. So damn hot.

VW: Your car's performance is now a subscription As Volkswagen introduces a monthly fee to unlock power already built into its cars, it proves the industry is finally catching up to Tesla’s controversial, software-first playbook.

"Historically many petrol and diesel vehicles have been offered with engines of the same size, but with the possibility of choosing one with more potency," VW told the BBC.

The more things change...

Video: Gordon Murray's S1 LM is a masterpiece for an audience of one The McLaren F1's true successor is here, and you can't have it. (I mean, unless the one buyer is also a Righto Turbo reader...)

I don't spare much thought for modern #supercars, generally. Some are beautiful, sure, but most won't live long in my memory. This, on the other hand... #cars

Lexus Sport Concept inches closer to reality at Monterey They've dropped Electrified from the name, but there's no mistaking it: this is our latest look at the EV halo car we've been promised.

Lexus has used the Monterey Car Week event to unveil a new take on its Electrified Sports Concept, first revealed way back in 2021.

Which version of Lexus's Electrified Sport Concept do you prefer, the newly revealed 2025 design (first pair of pics) or the original 2021 look? (Second pair.)

Video: Shelby's Super Snake-R Mustang wants your Porsche money Another wild creation from Shelby, but is it worth the coin?

Shelby American has rightly decided there’s enough room for another monster Mustang, this time based on the Dark Horse. Fkn LISTEN to it!

Polestar 3 hits nearly 1000km to set Guinness record It must've stung just a little to come so close to four digits, but I doubt anybody on the team is wasting time on tears.

I do like 'good news' stories like this. Anything to help folks overcome range anxiety, even if it's set through fairly unrealistic methods, is worthy of a few lines I reckon.

Longbow draws a dream team for its lightweight EV sports car Bloody hell I hope this all comes together as planned.

There are no shortage of EV startups getting around, but I've now got a few new reasons to wish for British outfit Longbow's success. Let's go! There's a couple of good videos in this post too.

Callum's got a 2001 Vanquish Shooting Brake to sell you If you loved the 'Jet 2' concept Bertone unveiled way back in 2004, and you happen to have squillions, this is the custom build for you.

I'm in love with this Vanquish reimagined as a shooting brake by the car's original designer, Ian Callum. Anybody got a spare mill-or-so?

Jaguar has almost always been a bit of a stupid brand if you look closely enough at its history, but damn this is all pretty next-level.

Australia's track-only 'Gen3' Supra is the A90 we deserved It's too late for the current generation, but maybe the coming A100 could look this tough...

Imagine if the road-going version of the A90 Supra looked half as good as this bespoke V8-powered racer built for Australia's Supercars championship!

JLR gets another bean-countin' boss while its lines sit idle Its future hangs on a single high-stakes electric model, and now the brand is prioritising the balance sheet when it needs a product visionary more than ever.

It’s a peculiar situation for a car company to be in, having no cars to sell. Like a pub with no beer... and now they're looking to yet another accountant to see it through a design-led revolution. oof.

A used EV in 2028 could look pretty good, if we don't kill incentives today Isn't it funny that just as Trump kills the bulk of America's EV incentives, an Australian government group has recommended doing the same...

Honda's new N-One E would make a great car-share option for Australia Too small, underpowered and not enough range for the average Aussie buyer – but I can't stop thinking it'd be cool to have here to champion local community living.

Aussie tuner & Norwegian artist give NSX a modern makeover The original NSX is a timeless icon that needs no help, but we do love an attempt.

Credit to Piston Zero and Autotique, they've done a cracking job on this modernised NSX – although Nico's wideboy will always be the goat to me. #cars

BMW's next M3 will come in electric and petrol flavours The next M3 will be electric, heavy, and monstrously fast

The inevitable is happening. BMW's next M3 will get a fully electric variant, slated for production in 2027.

Is this how it'll look? Seems pretty close!
