Cars

Welcome to Wednesday Want. Each week, our team will pluck a car from our thousands-strong Car Suggestions forum and give it some time in the spotlight. From the weird to the wonderful, we’ll be covering the full automotive spectrum. You can check out past Wednesday Want entries right here.

The new Suzuki Swift Sport is lighter and more aggressive than ever. Announced at the Frankfurt Motor Show, the dinky Suzuki will offer a hatchback that provides some lightweight fun. A lower, wider frame is complemented by a boosted power-to-weight ratio, pushing it into the warm hatch category.

Honda has chosen the Frankfurt Motor Show to reveal a dinky, electric city car it expects to sell in 2019.

BMW has taken the wraps off its new M8 GTE racing car at the Frankfurt Motor Show. The new flagship coupe will mark BMW’s return to top level endurance racing next year in the World Endurance Championship.

Renault is looking to take back its crown as king of the hot hatchback, with a new Renault Sport Megane.

The newest commercial for Forza Motorsport 7 focuses on the variety of vehicles included in the game. FM7 sets a generation best with over 700 cars at launch for players to take for a drive across more than 30 tracks. The video plays on this aspect of the title and features some interesting cameos to boot.

Audi is synonymous with its Quattro all-wheel-drive system, with the flagship R8 supercar sitting at the top of the tree.

When it comes to small coupes, there’s few as popular but forgotten as the Scirocco. Volkswagen first introduced it over 40 years ago, and though there was a 16-year gap in production that covered all of the 1990s, it’s sold more than a million.

Mercedes and AMG have celebrated the latter’s 50th birthday by unveiling the most extreme car in either brand’s history.

Have you ever wanted a steering wheel and a personal assistant in one package? Probably not. However, Jaguar thinks buyers in 2040 might want just that with its latest concept, dubbed “Sayer”.

For some of us, Gran Turismo was our first driving simulator. For those of us who have been around a bit longer, there were other toys, like Tomy’s Turnin’ Turbo. Back in 1983, this tabletop marvel was all the rage among budding young gearheads — so we’re told — with its Porsche-inspired design, sleek instrument cluster, and Tron-like visuals.

If you were watching the Italian Grand Prix last weekend, you’ll probably have noticed that almost no-one started the race where they qualified. Nine of the 20 drivers earned grid place penalties, resulting in a rather shaken-up grid.

We’re fans of ridiculous off-road vehicles. Whether it’s a lifted Mercedes wagon, a supercar turned dune buggy, or a real life Warthog, they pique our interest. Now there’s a new car to add to our growing list of weird off-road vehicles: a Mad Max-inspired Bentley Continental GT.

If you’re into racing, well, this weekend really isn’t your sort of weekend. Most any other time of the year you could turn on the TV (or YouTube) and find a plethora of racing. Not so much right now, though.

Jaguar Land Rover has announced that it intends to offer an electric option on every new model line from 2020.

After years of speculation, it seems that TVR is finally back with us. The much-loved brand has just unveiled the car it hopes will put the company back in business – appropriately enough at the Goodwood Revival.

MINI has rolled out its latest wild-and-crazy John Cooper Works GP concept ahead of the Frankfurt Motor Show.

Back in July, we told you about a private team that set out to break the Nürburgring record with a Viper ACR. Since the story ran though, the team went on to improve its record run. 

The Aston Martin Valkyrie is about to get some serious competition.
