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 Ford F-150 Raptor is one of the most impressive off-road vehicles one can buy off a showroom floor. It’s ludicrous in all the right places and as far as trucks go it’s pretty affordable for what buyers get. So why did someone spend $300,000 on one?

The world can finally go off road without the use of a fossil fuel burning engine. Bollinger Motors  has introduced what it claims is the world’s first all-electric sports utility truck.

Ah, the joys of driving. Picking up your new car, blasting down the highway, playing your favorite driving tunes and getting punted in the back by a careless driver. Well, maybe not that last part.

We’re sure many Gran Turismo fans took some improbable cars around the Kart Space track in GT6. Well, Lucas Oil Off-Road Racing Series (LOORRS) pro, Carl Renezeder, did just that in Carlsbad, California.

Fernando Alonso hasn’t quite been at his best since returning to McLaren in 2015. Plagued with numerous reliability issues, the tenure has been anything but a showcase of his driving talent.

We now fully know the price of the Tesla Model 3. True to his word, Elon Musk kept the long rumored $35,000 price. But the question is, will buyers actually want a basic Model 3?

As the Kia brand has been changing direction for a more European ethos, one car stands apart. The Sorento SUV has a distinctly more American flavor, and we’ve been driving it around Cheshire to sample it.

The Hungarian Grand Prix started with the usual madness that has characterized this season. This time it was two team mates coming together. Both Red Bulls got impressive starts. Daniel Ricciardo went to pass Max Verstappen around the outside of turn two, only for Verstappen to understeer into Ricciardo’s radiator. The Australian was out of the race. Verstappen was handed a 10 second penalty for his poor judgement. He dropped down to fifth place from fourth after the pit stops.

You can’t keep a good car down and the proof of that lies in the returning Pagani Zonda. The V12 glamour model arises once again after leaving the world in 2013 to bear another custom, one-off by the name of Fantasma Evo.

Honda has announced that its successful NSX GT3 race car is now available for purchase worldwide.

While the Red Bulls had the early pace on Friday, Ferrari made changes overnight and looked very strong in Practice 3 this morning. These changes translated very well as we went into Qualifying.

After nearly a month’s break, the Blancpain GT Series has restarted in a big way. This weekend will play host to the twice-around-the-clock race at Spa-Francorchamps.

Picking up your new Ferrari might be the best day in a petrolhead’s life. For one unlucky chap in South Yorkshire, UK, it quickly turned into one of the worst.

Earlier this year Sauber and Honda announced a partnership for the 2018 F1 season. Said partnership saw the Swiss team exchanging year-old Ferrari engines for those supplied by the Japanese automaker.

A private team finally gave Viper fans something they’ve waited for: a Nürburgring time.

The king of bling is back with the new Rolls-Royce Phantom VIII.

Sports cars in top shape with low mileage are always in short supply, which makes them sought-after items for collectors and enthusiasts. You can rest assured people will be ready to pay a lot to get their hands on them.

The future of LMP1 is in doubt today, as Porsche has announced it too is terminating its involvement.

After a long summer break the prestigious Super GT series has resumed its exciting rivalry. Following two months off, the world’s fastest GT cars returned to action at Sugo, the series’ northernmost venue.
