FIRST UK DRIVE We try reworked sports car legend on British roads

- Alex Ingram

Ford Mustang V8

MEASURE a car’s value for money in terms of horsepower per pound and not much comes close to the Ford Mustang. This is an American icon that, starting from just over £41,000, offers Audi RS 5 power for the price of an A5.

Yet judging by the wholesale revisions applied to the 2018 Mustang we’re driving here for the first time in the UK, it seems that Ford wasn’t satisfied. The 5.0-litre V8 now makes 444bhp – 38bhp more than before – a result of a revised fuelling system that mixes both port and direct injection. It’s enough for 0-62mph in 4.3 seconds with the new 10-speed auto, or 4.6 in the manual car.

Curiously, the other engine option has lost power. The 2.3-litre Eco Boost unit improves ‘Eco’ to the detriment of ‘Boost’ – stricter emissions regulations result in a 27bhp drop to 286bhp.

Wreckreation

IF you love noughties classics such as Burnout, Need for Speed and Micro Machines, then Wreckreation is the game for you. We're certainly fans of good old-fashioned driving games. Too many have become realistic simulators that require expert skills, which at times foregoes the fun of gaming.

Tesla Model Y Standard

SOME people say EV pioneer Tesla is faltering. Sales figures are declining worldwide and it appears interest in the brand is waning. The reasons for this may be many, but it can’t be down to the cars themselves — especially since the Americans have proven with the Model Y facelift that they aren't resting on their laurels.
