In this VERY MUCH UNSPONSORED video I share with you the new wheels and tyres that I purchased for my Porsche 718 Cayman GT4.

The thumbnail reflects Kate's reaction when she first saw the wheels :)

I mention man maths justifying the purchase of the wheels when all I needed was tyres but I didn't explain that in the video. The wheels are very desirable on the used market for exactly the reason why i bought them for my car, people want a spare set. With a bit of trade discount I don't expect to lose more than a few hundred quid when I come to sell assuming they remain mint.

The new Porsche 911 (992.2) GTS has gone hybrid. But while that word may strike instant dismay into the hearts of many enthusiasts, this is a slightly different sort of electrically-boosted drivetrain; This is a T-Hybrid. That means the system adds less than 110lb (50kg) to the kerb weight of a GTS while providing significantly greater response, thanks to an eTurbo and an eMotor. As Henry Catchpole found out on both road and the Ascari circuit, this also means a 0-60mph time of just 2.9sec and a rather good soundtrack.

Of course any extra weight can be seen as a cause for frowning and the added complication certainly won’t please home mechanics. What’s more, the switch to hybrid is rather confusing when you look at the CO2 emissions and fuel economy figures, because they are very similar to those of the non-hybrid, previous generation GTS. That’s largely down to the fact that this is a hybrid that cannot run on electric power alone.

What gives? Why isn’t this a 911 that can ape a Porsche Taycan? Well, this engine is all about making sure that Lambda = 1 at all times, without any drop in performance. If you’re not entirely sure of your Greek alphabet, then you’re certainly not alone but you’ll find an explanation in the film.

In this review of the new 992 GTS you’ll also find some rather clever graphics courtesy of Apple Vision Pro technology, which lets us show you the full layout of the hybrid powertrain. The completely new 3.6-litre flat-six can produce 478bhp and 420lb ft of torque on its own but in total the new T-Hybrid system has outputs of 534bhp and 450lb ft of torque, which is some 31bhp and 103lb ft more than a current 911 GT3.

The price for the new Porsche 911 GTS T-Hybrid is £132,600 or $164,900 but if that’s a touch too steep then Porsche has also released a new version of the standard Carrera which starts at £99,800 or $120,100. Henry Catchpole drove the (still non-hybrid) Carrera on the launch in the south of Spain as well, which proved quite the contrast.

In this video I share with you my opinions on the brand new facelifted version of the Mk8 Golf GTI base model (also known as the Mk8.5) which now comes with 265 PS, 20 more than the old car.

Big thanks to VW UK for the opportunity to drive this car which was part of a road trip to the GTI Fanfest even at Wolfsburg in late July 2024.

A NOTE ABOUT LUXURY CAR TAX - The threshold for luxury car tax is cars with a 'list price' in excess of £40,000 - Neither VW nor DVLA clearly define what the list price is - it is the On The Road price less the first year road tax and first registration fee;
Mk8.5 GTI 265 OTR £38,900, list price £38140 which leaves £1860 for options before hitting the threshold.

The Volvo EX30 sits right in the entry line up of EV's but is it any good? I've had use of it for the past week and I've found some surprising and interesting things!

Let’s settle the debate on regular pavement and VHT: which is the quickest accelerating American car in history, the Dodge Challenger SRT Demom 170 or the Lucid Air Sapphire?

In this episode, we race the two most powerful American production cars in history, the 1234-hp Lucid Air Sapphire and the 1025-hp Dodge Challenger SRT D170.

The first race takes place on regular asphalt, with our standard weather-corrected numbers. With the help of veteran drag racer, we achieve the quickest 0-60 and ¼-mile times ever seen from a Challenger. But is that enough to beat the Sapphire?

Either way, the Demon’s Mickey Thompson drag radials aren’t meant for an unprepped surface, so we leave Willow Springs and head to the Famoso Drag Strip to race on “glue” — the VHT-prepped surface.

Here, Tom Bailey’s experience launching the Challenger pays dividends as we try to recreate Dodge’s claimed 8.91-second quarter-mile run and dethrone the Lucid. Will it work?

Let’s fight about it.
