NEW GLORY • Chevrolet’s long-running Corvette is reinvented as a mid-engined junior supercar, and it’s coming to the UK in right-hand drive.

A CORVETTE FOR THE UK

Bugatti eyes EV… stretched Flying Spur rumoured… Dieselgate still haunts Audi

New Golf Mk8: it’s your eight-point briefing • Faster GTIs, slick hybrids and digital inside. Georg Kacher introduces the new Golf

It’s the new 911, more and less • The less expensive non-S Carrera lands

Was the British GP the new Dijon ’79? • 40 years after that epic French GP, has the title of F1’s best ever battle been nabbed?

It’s open season • Our spy photographers have hunted down some big sports car game over the summer testing period.

What Callum did next… • As Jaguar’s retiring design boss launches his own business, we salute his 20 years at the brand and ask what’s next?

CALLUM’S TOP 5 GREATEST HITS (SO FAR…)

‘Volvo was very vulnerable’ • The exec who co-wrote Volvo’s turnaround plan is now changing the way we buy cars

Six questions only we would ask

Room for another one? • Yes, but only if we flatten the back end

Lunar year • 2019 is rich in anniversary editions, for the Moon landings and more.

Invasion of the self-driving cars • 5G is here, capable of monitoring everything all the time – and providing the missing link that could make full autonomy an everyday reality.

It came out of the sun • Sunshine’s energy. EVs need energy. Start-up Lightyear has seen the light.

‘Under the bonnet there’s no synergy between EV and ICE’ • Do electric cars need bespoke platforms or can combustion engines share the same hardware? VW’s Frank Bekemeier and PSA’s Vincent Blessing argue their corners

Tech vs tax • We like driving cleaner cars – so long as they don’t leave us out of pocket

Mazda’s diesel-esque petrol engine • Skyactiv-X is a petrol engine with compression ignition, and promises the best of both worlds.

Does it work?

SQUEEZE OR SPARK HOW IT WORKS

Multi-national treasure • Morgan puts a BMW straight six to great use in a modernre-invention of its timeless sports car template. Finally, then, is this the Morgan for you?

New-build estate • BMW’s 3-series wagon returns without compromise. Better start saving

THE FIRST HOUR

Data

It’s all relative • A seriously sorted hybrid. But be careful what you jump into it from…

THE FIRST HOUR

The devil, tuned • Upgrades to the seven-seat 4x4 mean you can now go to hell in a mild-hybrid handcart

THE FIRST HOUR

Brain over brawn • The flagship 1-series gains a driven front axle. But what’s been lost along the way?

THE FIRST HOUR
