Buckle up, my fellow petrolheads, because Maserati has just pulled the wraps off its MCXtrema, and let me tell you, it's not your run-of-the-mill Maserati. This one's a track-only beast, a true racing thoroughbred birthed from the loins of the already legendary MC20. So, if you thought Maserati was taking a leisurely stroll in the automotive park, think again. They're here to redefine the game, to disrupt the status quo. Much like that audacious kid, the MC20, which, by the way, marked a fresh dawn for Maserati.

The 2023 M2 is arguably BMW’s best new car on the market today. It’s quick, balanced, communicative, and still a thoughtful daily driver. All of the sugar, spice, and everything nice things you’d expect from a small car wearing the M badge. But here's the million-dollar question - can it conquer the track? You see, these M cars were born for the track, it’s in their blood (M standing for Motorsport, after all). Does this M2 live up to its ancestry, or is it just another posh toy with a “fancy” badge?

Let’s face it, as automotive enthusiasts racing is pretty much part of our DNA. The visceral sensation of fast cars, thumping engines, and screeching tyres is enough to heighten the senses and captivate the collective minds of passion-driven folks. Alas, entry to motorsports has always been a sort of stumbling block for many, due to high costs and steep entry fees. This usually means the elusive feeling of getting behind the wheel of a racecar is gatekept behind closed doors.

The automotive industry as we know it is now at an impasse. Gone are the days when screaming internal combustion engines were commonplace, now being silenced, literally, by the soulless whirrs of new-fangled electric technology. Electric cars can be extremely quick and efficient, but you just cannot replicate the mechanical symphony of a fuel-burning engine. The vibrations, the aural pleasure, these are elements that define generations of petrolheads. Eliminating it, to me, is downright sacrilegious. But, like many things in nature, the art of survival finds a way to break through the monotony. And this is exactly what Toyota has done. In the face of an electric revolution, they created a true gem of a car, one that excites the senses and provides a scintillating, visceral sensation. And it’s called the GR86. The quintessential essence of what a sports car should be

Three original GranTurismo one-offs from the Maserati Fuoriserie Programme were split between real-life and virtual platforms. The GranTurismo One Off Prisma is dedicated to the heritage of this glorious car, as a proud expression of its past and the brand's ability to go further. The bodywork comes with a chromatic partnership consisting of 14 different colours. Two of them look ahead to the future, whilst the other twelve have been selected from the hues of the most popular GranTurismo models of the past, such as the characteristic Amaranto from the 1947 Maserati A6 1.500, and the Oro Longchamps that brightened the 1973 Maserati Khamsin. The outfit of this extraordinary One Off is embellished with details of more than 8,500 letters hand-applied, making up the names of Maserati cars, creating a second level of shade and harmonising the entire colour coating, all painted by hand.

Has the horsepower arms race ended yet? If cars like the car tested here are anything to go by, Subaru could well be at the leading edge of a new movement. Yet, the surprise is that it might not be a bad thing. The Subaru Forester e-Boxer 2.0i-S Eyesight Hybrid as the car tested here is called in full makes all of 150hp and 194Nm of torque. Quite a long way off the heady days when the mighty 2.0XT made up to 240hp less than a decade ago. The downside of the XT however, was its woeful fuel efficiency as it came with a four-speed automatic and needed a heavy weight engine oil and had to be fed high octane petrol. Add all-wheel drive into the mix and you’ve got a recipe for a proper guzzler. These days, when fuel prices being what they are, the Forester needs to work smarter, not harder to stay relevant in the market. To this end, Subaru has done exactly that. To kick things off, the new Forester is literally a green car in more ways than one…
