  Lexus is developing an electric supercar to serve as a spiritual successor to  the LFA , due for launch by 2030, and will show off the concept version in public for the first time at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. Originally shown as part of the shock unveiling of  15 new Toyota and Lexus EV concepts , the supercar will be one of the EVs launched by  Lexus  as it ramps up to phasing out combustion. It will make its public debut in Sussex from 23-26 June alongside the all-new  Lexus RZ450e  electric SUV and the updated version of the  Lexus UX 300e  crossover.  The concept is described as "a battery-EV sports car which inherits the driving taste, or the 'secret sauce', of the performance cultivated via the development of the LFA". Experience gained from developing this car will extend to other future Lexus EVs as part of a drive to emphasise the Japanese brand's dynamic focus.  "The endless pursuit of the Lexus driving signature will move to the next stage

  The new   Mercedes-AMG E63   Final Edition brings production of Affalterbach's pure-combustion V8 sports saloons to a close. It has been revealed in the wake of two concept cars previewing the electrified future of Mercedes' performance division: the outlandish  Vision AMG  and a prototype for the next-generation  Mercedes-AMG C63  PHEV. The E63 Final Edition serves as a swansong for the firm's pure-combustion sports saloons - a lineage that dates back to the W124-generation E-Class 'Hammer' of 1986, then the world's fastest saloon. The V8 engine will continue to play a part in AMG's future - it is still available in the  Mercedes-AMG GT 4-Door Coupé , produces some 577bhp in the hottest version of the new SL and is used in an 819bhp plug-in hybrid system in the new GT 63 S E-Performance – but it is set to be swapped out for an electrified four-cylinder unit in the next E63. When it arrives, likely in 2024, the next-generation E63 is tipped to use a varian

  Welcoming the C-X5 to the fleet - 11 May 2022 It can’t be easy being Mazda. The Japanese company tries like mad to forge its own path – building the MX-5 when no one else is producing cheap sports cars, or whacking a rotary engine into a ‘suicide-doored’ coupé, or even plugging away with naturally aspirated units when everyone else is downsizing and turbocharging. We all admire the brand and its tenacity. And then we all toddle off and buy the latest German SUV. Same old, same old. But even Mazda can’t buck the inevitable forever and is now making headway along a similar path:last year in the UK, 60% of its cars were of the SUV variety. So here we are, staring at our fleet’s new and facelifted Mazda CX-5 and wondering whether it’s going to be bonkers or boring. To be fair, it’s a family SUV, so it’s a more nuanced question than my slightly glib phrasing, but the point remains: has Mazda managed to inject enough of its cool gene to make this car stand out in what is an increasingly c
