In this video I share with you my unbiased and unsponsored opinion on the new GTI Fanfest event that was held in Wolfsburg, the home of VW in July 2024.#
As a VW fan for over 30 years I hope to give you a deeper insight to the event than most. Special features in this video are an interview with VW brand ambassador, race and test driver Benny Leuchter and footage of the incredible GTI parade through the immense factory grounds which many vistors will have either missed or not been allowed to participate in.

In this video I share with you my experience of driving Clubsport S '000', the very car that set the lap record for front wheel drive cars at the Nordschleife in 2016. We start of by driving in a procession lap on the Nordschleife and Nuerburgring Grand Prix circuits and then take to the testing Eifel roads to see how this very special car compares to my own 'customer' example with very similar mileage.

This is the new Skoda Superb!

It’s the all-new version of Skoda’s big, practical family car, and Mat's going to undertake a vigorous, in-depth review to see if it’s still one of the leading cars in its class.

In terms of the design, the Superb is stylish from the front all the way to the rear. The front end has a smart black grille with a chrome surround, and this is flanked by sharp-edged vents. Along the side alloy wheels range between 17” - 19”, and a crease runs along the car’s length. There’s a huge Skoda badge at the back, and there are no fake vents or exhausts to be found anywhere!

The stylish design continues on the inside, with a large infotainment screen on the centre of the dash as well as a large digital dial display. Eco-friendly materials are used throughout the cabin, although we’re not sure about the strange xylophone-style design on the passenger’s side of the cabin!

When it comes to engines, there are two petrol and two diesel available. The entry-level is a 1.5-litre turbo petrol with 150hp, while there’s also a 2-litre turbo petrol with 265hp. The former only has front-wheel drive, while the 2-litre has all-wheel drive. The two diesels available are 2-litre turbos, and they deliver 150hp or 193hp, depending on which you choose.

The Superb starts from around £35,000, while the car we have here for this review (with options added) costs around £41,000. So is it the must-have family car? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

In this video I share with you my opinions on the DSG automatic Mk4 Golf R32, a car we never got in the UK. Did we miss out only getting the manual?

Pistonheads story here - the car was £21k then but it's now a more realistic £16.5k as a private sale;

It’s the one you Lamborghini fanboys & girls have been waiting for… Lamborghini Revuelto vs Lamborghini Aventador SVJ!

These two powerhouses are finally going head-to-head over the quarter-mile, but will the newer Revuelto come out on top? Let’s take a closer look at the stats.

Starting with the SVJ, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that can produce 770hp and 720Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and the car's dry weight is 1,525kg, so it probably tips the scales at around 1,700kg. When new, the Aventador SVJ costs from £360,000.

And then we come to the Revuelto. It’s also powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12, but it also comes equipped with three electric motors! As a result, this hybrid hero can put down 1,015hp and 1,062Nm! The dry weight is 1,772kg, so it probably weighs the best part of two tonnes, and as new it costs an eye-watering £447,000!

So the Revuelto is well up on power, but does it really have what it takes to bring down the SVJ? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Thanks to Yianni & Tomi for joining us for this race:
