M’s xDrive is reaping the rewards of the Audi Quattro

Star contributors

2021: the year the electric car boomed • Critical new EVs triggered bumper sales in the UK. But who’s buying them – and can anyone charge them?

Electric TT could be spun off Cayman... big SUV and A8… R8 EV rumoured

Inhaling the vapours • As Nissan invests hugely in EVs, it’s gone concept car wild to prove it – but which ones are just vapourware?

Lambo’s electric GT dream • As Lamborghini faces up to its electrification options, a planned fourth model now looks set to be a fully-electric grand tourer from 2027.

Deep Space: the hypercar frontier • Hennessey dreams up six-wheel EV

F1 2021: an uncivil war • The duel that defined the 2021 Formula 1 season was incendiary. But, argues James Taylor, the spectacular racing has come at a price

F1’S GREATEST SEASON? FOUR OTHER CONTENDERS

Fair shares? New stock price giants run on electric • Investors favour forward-looking EV makers

Supercar stars in all-electric future for Lexus • But mostly it’ll be crossovers, obvs

Plus 8 GTR: Big Blue, version 2.0

‘Simplicity can be such a bonus’ • When Aston’s design chief moves to Dacia you have to ask why. And he’s happy to explain

Six questions only we would ask

Apocalypse wow • Project Maybach: a luxe EV for the wild

Tribute bands • Hot Wheels? Ayrton Senna? Whatever your obsession, there’s a watch for you.

How a hypercar spawned the greenest ever Merc • Vision EQXX showcases ultra-efficient battery tech, world-beating aero, sustainable interiors and cross-company ways of working.

WHAT INSPIRED THE EQXX?

Audi’s slideshow: controlled mayhem • New RS3’s computerised rear axle makes it more agile – and includes Ingolstadt’s answer to drift mode.

Your inner Hoff • Engineered by AMG, Merc’s soft-top cruiser now comes with a harder edge and a fresh appetite for hunting 911s. But it still feels made for California

CARS THAT MADE THE SL LEGEND

A bit SUV. A lot Maserati • There are so many ways to make a dull SUV. Maserati’s dodged them all

More like Comfortage • The Mk3 Sportage is lots of things, many of them good, but it’s not sporty

Is it B you’re looking for? • If you need sensible, practical electric transport for seven, you’re sorted

Truck yeah • A muscle car disguised as a 4x4, and you can now get one in the UK

COP a load of this • Sorry, planet. Combating climate change will have to wait a little longer

Full exposure • Now rival-less droptop brings an extra way to enjoy everything the M4 has to offer

Jump the species barrier • Porsche makes great petrol GTSs. Can it work the same magic on an EV?

More detail in Our Cars, please

Opinion • LONG-TERM TESTS + RANGE ROVER’S MISSED TRICKS + EV FUN

‘The first Range Rover was a car of great prescience. But many Land Rover people disliked it’

‘It looks like he’s lost it three times every lap. But of course he won’t spin, because he’s Carlos Sainz’

A Lotus like no other • 2022’s bravest new car is the imminent Type 132, which aims to take the essence of Lotus into electric SUV territory
