HOW PORSCHE IS PURSUING A QUIETER LIFE FOR OWNERS
NOISE, VIBRATION AND HARSHNESS (NVH) are three of the most important words in the engineering of new cars. They describe exactly that: noise and vibration generated from hundreds of sources, from the texture and undulation of the road surface to the entire drivetrain, tyres, brakes and structure of the car itself.

Max Verstappen was the standout Formula 1 driver of 2025 for me. That's not to denigrate new world champion Lando Norris in any way. In fact, I would argue the opposite is the case. That Norris prevailed in the tense Abu Dhabi finale does him huge credit because, as he will know only too well while reflecting on his hallowed new status, he did so in the face of an astonishing fightback from one of the true greats of motor racing.

The action woman who inspired a 675bhp Bentley
Bentley recently revealed its “most driver-focused” car so far, a 675bhp V8-powered, rear-wheel-drive, carbonfibre-covered coupé known internally as... Mildred. No, the codename was not inspired by the long-suffering wife in George & Mildred but a swashbuckling hero of road and track – and sky and sea.

BREAKDOWN PATROLS
There's nothing worse for the DIY-agnostic car enthusiast than getting a phone call from someone asking what's wrong with their motor. “Any idea why it won’t turn over, mate?” “It wasn’t making that knocking noise yesterday.” “Should the sump have water in it?” You want to help, but armed with such scarce information and not being au fait with the mechanical intricacies of every car ever made, you can only do so much.
