Ford Puma ST review | Crossover meets hot hatchback | Autocar
Ford Performance, the product development team behind cars like the Ford Focus RS and Mustang, has never made a performance SUV before. The new Ford Puma ST is their first half-attempt at one, which effectively puts the 197bhp three-cylinder turbo engine and a lot of the front-drive running gear from the popular Fiesta ST into a jacked-up Puma crossover hatchback body. But there’s more to this car than that, as Matt Saunders explains during our first drive along the rolling – and unexpectedly bumpy-feeling – Sussex Downs.... Read More إقرأ المزيد | Share it now!
2+4=24 | Racing for 24 hours on 2 and 4 wheels | Autocar
Every year, the Nordschleife hosts the Nürburgring 24 Hours. Imagine (the better known) Le Mans 24 Hours with jumps, blind bends and 100-ft trees for secondary crash barriers. It is more rally stage than race track and, for the 24 Hours, rammed full of cars and drivers of varied capabilities. “It is so far from the pits we carry cash for a cab,” states former F1 driver and now Honda racer Tiago Monteiro. “It is probably the most challenging race on earth.”
If you think Monteiro and the four-wheeled gladiators who take on each other round the Green Hell are tough, meet Australian Josh Hook. He is a 24 hour racer too. Except he races on 2 wheels. In this time of Covid, 2020’s only major 24 hour bike race was at Le Mans in August. Hook, 27, entered despite having two broken bones in his right foot – sustained in a crash less than a day before the race began. To pitch Hook and Monteiro against each other in reality is impossible. But in the world of film comparisons are possible. Former WRC, Dakar and F1 presenter Jeremy Hart has made a documentary called 2+4=24. He follows Josh and Tiago to the edges of hell and back. ... Read More إقرأ المزيد | Share it now!

Citroen AMI review | Driving the new electric city car, at 28mph | Autocar
Things to note: the Citroen AMI isn’t technically a car at all. The new AMI is in fact a heavy quadricycle which means, in some European countries, you can drive it from as young as 14 and without a driving licence. But not in the UK.... Read More إقرأ المزيد | Share it now!
Ford Mustang Mach-E review – all-electric Mustang SUV with Tesla-beating range driven – Autocar
Ford has bucked the trend set by its chief European-based rivals, and is taking on Tesla head-on with its very first EV, the Mustang Mach-E. Offering up to 346bhp and four-wheel drive, with a ‘GT’-branded performance version still to come, the Mach-E is a usable mid-sized crossover SUV due to be priced from just over £40,000 when it arrives in UK showrooms in March; and it’ll be capable of up to 379 miles on a charge. But how much authentic Mustang flavour is there about its decidedly 21st century driving experience? Matt Saunders found out.... Read More إقرأ المزيد | Share it now!
