The defining characteristics of BMW’s M cars – screaming inline-six engines, lightweight chassis and precise mechanical feedback – are about to be radically reinvented to survive the fast-approaching zero-emissions regs. Meet the M Concept Neue Klasse.

Who would have ever imagined we’d live to see a day where a Ford Escort would boast a better power-to-weight ratio than a Porsche 911? A proper working-class car turned into a sexy rear-wheel-drive, sub-2,000-lb, manual sports car that revs to 10,000 rpm!

Britain’s oldest car maker hopes for big sales surge thanks to the first Cobra with a roof. The ferocious AC Cobra GT Coupe pairs classic old-school styling in smooth aluminum and carbon fiber with a 5-liter Ford V8 under the hood.

Sporty panel vans are officially a thing – and here’s a hot-rod new VW Transporter to prove it. The Sportline gets a street-wise make-over for go-faster deliveries, including lowered ride stance, side skirts – and even a rear spoiler.

A new Italian supercar launched this month, and it has an unlikely nautical design inspiration: the shape of a speedboat. The Bertone Runabout is surely the world’s first 170-mph sports car with a compass floating on the dashboard.

TVR, which has a history of building championship-winning sports cars dating back nearly 80 years, is returning to the performance vehicle market after a long break. Up first: the super-light, V8-powered Griffith that was supposed to ship in 2019.

The 2024 model year marks the seventh generation of the Ford Mustang, which is now the last of the American muscle cars with a V8 engine option. Ford has said that the V8 will remain a mainstay in the Mustang for as long as it’s legally possible.

Although best known for its bikes, Yamaha is working on a rather gorgeous-looking electric sports coupe with Caterham EVo. The concept debuted last year at the Goodwood Festival of Speed and promises 268 horses for its impressively low curb weight.
