After its initial reveal in a Martini livery, Porsche has shown off seven more, all inspired by classic racers from the brand.

MINI has revealed its most powerful ever road cars and, surprisingly, they’re an estate and a crossover.

Welcome to the 100th edition of the Wednesday Want! To celebrate in style we are once again bringing you a piece of Gran Turismo history. However, unlike the Art Morrison Corvette and the ‘51 Ford Coupe, this car is not from the GT Awards. Instead, it has an important connection to GT Academy.

McLaren is continuing to tease us with glimpses of its new car. We’ve seen it in various camouflaged guises in recent weeks, including at the Geneva Motor Show, but now the dazzle wrap has come off.
