Pride of the Valkyries
Thanks to the glorious wail of a non-hybridised Cosworth V12, the pair of Aston Martin Valkyrie AMR-LMH racers sounded utterly glorious as they powered through the French countryside.

Matt Prior
I'd be a hopeless sports coach. I don't just suspect that's the case, I fairly well know it, having spent a season 'managing' the Pear & Partridge FC, my local pub's football team, 20 years ago. Other than a notable 5-4 victory after being 4-0 down at half-time (local newspaper headline: 'Lovely Pear For Comeback Kings' - and yes, I wrote the match report), it wasn't a spell that had Arsène Wenger looking nervously over his shoulder.

Skoda Superb
It suggests unusual faith in nominative determinism to call your product the Superb. Indeed, for most of the history of Skoda’s large saloon and estate car, the Surprisingly Decent would perhaps have been more apt.

Until very recently, the idea of Lamborghini's top-billing V12 being a ‘dream car’ would have raised eyebrows among the supercar-weary cynics. They would have a point, too.

Engineers don't like plug-in hybrids. It’s the 'two engines rather than one' factor, and all that extra associated ballast. Marketing types have always liked them, though - dare I say, because they understand people, rather than machines, that little bit better.

Porsche 911 S/T
To suggest there was an inevitability to Porsche's 911 S/T scoring full marks in its Autocar road test is to underplay how hard and rare it is for any car to be awarded all five stars. But sometimes you need to accept the realities of the situation. Here, reporting for scrutiny, was basically a three-pedal 992-gen 911 GT3, only made a fair bit lighter and with an unapologetically road-optimised set-up. On paper this was the modern-day 911 for which many of us would exchange a kidney.

BEST 4x4 Land Rover Defender Octa
JLR's new hero Defender, the Octa, is an intriguing performance car that we have come to know really rather well in a pretty short space of time. It was only in January of this year when the chance came to take to the coastal roads, mountain trails, valley basins and sand dunes of the Western Cape, South Africa, in this car. As introductions go, it was every bit as ambitious as the Octa's dynamic brief, and it demonstrated very fully what this Land Rover is all about: not physics-bending on-road performance, but rather a boosted envelope of usability every bit as long as it is broad.

The Dacia Duster is not the cheapest car on sale today; it’s not even the cheapest Dacia. In fact, save for the recently introduced Bigster, it’s the most expensive car Dacia sells. But itis outstandingly good value, because it simply offers so much for so (relatively) little.
