Porsche 911 Dakar is an off-road 911 TEASED ahead of next week’s debut
The Porsche 911 Dakar – a Porsche 911 with real off-road chops – is teased ahead of a debut on 16 November at the Los Angeles Motor Show. As we said when we reported on Porsche’s mission to climb the world’s highest volcano in a modified off-road 911 last week, “after this outing, a 911 […]
Electric Porsche Taycan passes 100,000 builds – and some Taycans have done more than 100k miles
Three years on from its debut, the electric Porsche Taycan has passed the 100,000 build mark and now outsells Porsche’s sports cars. It’s seven years since the Porsche Mission E Concept was revealed at the 2015 Frankfurt Motor Show (remember motor shows?) as Porsche more than hinted at what was to come in an electric […]

Volvo EX90 gets ANOTHER tease ahead of tomorrow’s debut as the new electric XC90
With the new Volvo EX90 due to arrive tomorrow as an electric XC90, Volvo U is back with another, not very revealing, tease. For all Volvo’s proclamations about an electric future, they’ve been quite slow to deliver electric cars with, so far, just the XC40 Recharge and C40 Recharge on the market as actual BEVs, […]
New Citroen C5 X and new C5 Aircross get IMPROVED PHEV powertrain
Citroen has upgraded the plug-in hybrid powertrain in both the C5 X and C5 Airross to offer an improved EV range. EV anoraks condemn plug-in hybrids as the worst of both worlds, and that’s not helped by the bonkers official economy figures proclaiming three-figure mpg when, in the real world, you don’t have a prayer […]
Audi e-Tron and e-Tron Sportback about to turn in to the Audi Q8 e-Tron and Q8 e-Tron Sportback
The Audi e-trona and e-Tron Sportback will turn into the Audi Q8 e-Tron and Q8 -Tron Sportback with a facelift to debut on 9 November.

New car registrations in the UK rose by 26.4 per cent to 134,344, with the Ford Fiesta regaining top spot. But it’s the Nissan Qashqai at the top for the year so far.
