Peugeot 108 design secrets revealed – official video

The new Peugeot 108 aims to be one of the lightest and most efficient cars in its class when it goes on sale in July, following a reveal at the Geneva motor show next month.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The new light and frugal Peugeot 108 will receive a range of “ultra-efficient three-cylinder engines”, and a kerb weight as low as 840kg when it goes on sale later this year. The model will again be produced alongside Toyota and Citroën versions in the Czech Republic. Measuring 3.47m long and 1.6m wide, the new 108 hatchback comes in both three- and five-door forms, with the addition of a new convertible version, which has a fabric roll-back roof that’s likely to command a premium of around £1000 over a standard hatch.

New McLaren 650S revealed – exclusive studio pics

This is the new McLaren 650S, a £190,000 mid-engined coupé that’s capable of hitting 207mph. It will make its public debut at the Geneva show next month alongside a 650S Spider model.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The McLaren 650S is closely related to the 12C but is £20,000 more expensive and closer in styling to the recently launched £860,000 P1 hypercar. It also incorporates a basket of detailed revisions that improve performance in all areas but major on driver involvement. The McLaren 650S gets more standard equipment than the 12C, including lightweight forged alloy wheels, LED headlights, an Alcantara interior, carbon-ceramic brakes, revised sat-nav and a DAB radio as part of a sophisticated, screen-based audio system. The car also gets a new, wider design of Pirelli P Zero Corsa tyres.

BMW i3 – is this the world’s most desirable affordable electric car?

There may be disquiet about its gentle rate of climb, but the electric car has, at last, taken off. The BMW i3 is leading the charge. Could it really be better in the real world than the Tesla Model S?

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

BMW, along with Tesla, is doing what looked impossible a few years ago. Electric cars are finally becoming desirable. Maybe it took the power of a couple of premium brands to help them on the way. Or maybe it’s the radical looks and carbonfibre structure of the BMW i3? Either way, EVs are here to stay. And if the BMW i3 is anything to go by, they’re here to be enjoyed, rather than endured.

New Ferrari California T revealed – official Ferrari video

The Ferrari California T marks a return to the Italian manufacturer using turbocharging technology in its mainstream models. Is it a worthy successor to the California grand tourer, though?

Will it Drift? is the home of driving challenging vehicles sideways. Steve Sutcliffe takes some of the worlds fastest — and most unlikely — cars to the limit and beyond to answer that all-important question: will it drift?

USA 1, Europe 0: Chevrolet Corvette C7 Stingray vs Porsche 911, Audi R8 and Jaguar F-type

With a bargain price tag and supercar performance, the Corvette C7 Stingray has rebooted the iconic American sports car. But can it compete with Europe’s best: the Audi R8, Porsche 911 and Jaguar F-type?

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The seventh-generation Chevrolet Corvette. It marks the return of the Stingray; in name, at least. It certainly looks good on paper: all-new styling, chassis, cabin and – most importantly – the new LT1 V8 engine. But how does it fare against the best that Europe can offer? Can it out-accelerate and out-brake a Porsche 911? Does it sound better than a Jaguar F-type? Can it out-handle an Audi R8? Steve Sutcliffe referees the biggest sports car battle of 2014.

McLaren 12C vs Ducati 1199 Panigale S – ultimate supercar vs superbike showdown

It’s one-nil to the supercar at Cadwell Park, but can the McLaren 12C retain four-wheeled honours as it takes on the incredible Ducati 1199 Panigale S? Steve Sutcliffe referees.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The Ducati 1199 Panigale S is a mould-breaking superbike, but how will it fare against one of our favourite supercars, the McLaren 12C? Will the McLaren’s sheer power and incredible braking power be too much for the Ducati? Or will the Panigale’s epic power to weight ratio rule the day? Our last supercar vs superbike outing at Cadwell Park saw the Nissan GT-R beat a Ducati 1098 – will the Panigale level the score this time out?

McLaren P1 – exclusive on-track review of the world’s ultimate hypercar

The 903bhp McLaren P1 is certainly one of the most exciting hypercars ever. But is it better than a Porsche 918 Spyder? Steve Sutcliffe, one of the few in the world to have driven both, reveals all.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The McLaren P1 is the long awaited successor to the mighty McLaren F1 of 1994, and as such represents the pinnacle of achievement, both now and in the foreseeable future as far McLaren Automotive’s expanding range of road cars is concerned. For the time being it is, says McLaren, if not the fastest car in the world – that title almost certainly belongs to Ferrari’s even more potent, slightly lighter LaFerrari – then the most exciting hypercar to drive the world has ever seen.
