New C63 4cyl v old C63 V8: DRAG RACE
We’ve got our hands on the all-new AMG C63, and we’re about to find out how it compares to the old C63!
Of course, there is one BIG change between the new and old C63. The V8 has been removed, and it’s been swapped with a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo! The question is, just how much quicker is the new car?
Well, let’s take a look at the stats! Mat’s in the old C63, and you’ll find a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that produces 510hp and 700Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,750kg. When new, this car cost around £63,000.
Alongside it, we have the new car. Under the bonnet you’ll find the 2-litre turbocharged 4-cylinder, however, there’s also an electric motor on the rear axle! Combined, they produce 680hp and 1,020Nm, with power sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox. It’s mightily heavy, mind, weighing in at 2,190kg, and it costs an eye-watering £100,000!
So the new car has more power, but has Mercedes ruined it by removing the V8? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New AMG GT 63 v R8 GT v 911 Turbo: DRAG RACE
Supercar showdown let’s goooo!
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT 63, and it’s going head-to-head against the almighty Porsche 911 Turbo S and the last ever internal combustion engine R8 to be produced - the Audi R8 GT!
So let’s see how these mighty machines compare! Starting with the AMG, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 585hp and 800Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at a rather heavy 2,130kg. It’s the cheapest car here at least, costing around £165,000.
Alongside it we have the Audi, which is powered by a 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10. This produces 620hp and 565Nm, and this power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed gearbox. It tips the scales at 1,570kg, and it’s the most expensive car here, setting you back around £200,000!
Then finally we have the 911. It’s powered by a glorious 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six, and this produces 650hp and 800Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, it weighs in at 1,640kg, and it costs around £180,000.
So will it be a clean sweep for the Porsche? Or could the newer GT spring a surprise? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

GR Corolla: Ultimate review!
Say hello to the Toyota GR Corolla!
Mat has flown over to Japan to get his hands on the hot edition of Toyota’s family-friendly hatchback, and he’s about to find out what’s different to the standard car.
When it comes to the design, there are several exterior changes. Around the back, there’s an all-new rear bumper as well as three exhaust tips! Along the side, there are more vents to help airflow, while some side skirts are also added. Up front, there are vents on the bonnet to help air flow & cooling, while there’s also a much larger, more aggressive front bumper and grille.
Step inside and there are a handful of changes, including red stitching throughout, and part-Alcantara, part-leather seats. There are also aluminium pedals, bespoke GR dials, and of course, there’s a button for the switchable 4WD system too.
Under the bonnet, you’ll find the same 1.6-litre 3-cylinder turbo edition as in the GR Yaris. However, it’s been improved for the Corolla and comes with new pistons, so in this edition, it now produces 304hp and 370Nm!
But this isn’t all - Mat’s also got his hands on the special Morizo edition, which is limited to just 70 units! This comes with a handful of additional upgrades over the regular GR Corolla, including a special Matt paint and wider alloys. The back seats have also been stripped out and replaced by a big brace bar, while a few other elements have been stripped out to reduce the weight by 30kg.
So will Mat be a fan of the GR Corolla? And more importantly, will he think it’s about time Toyota released the car in the UK?! You’ll need to keep watching this video to see for yourself!

Ultimate SUV DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
This is the greatest SUV drag race you will ever see!
We’ve got our hands on EIGHT incredible SUVs, and they’re all going head-to-head against each other over the quarter-mile!
We’ve got Mat in the Ferrari Purosangue, and alongside him, there’s a Cayenne Coupe Turbo, Aston Martin DBX 707, Urus Performance, BMW X6M, Range Rover Sport SV, AMG G63 and a Land Rover Defender V8!
So let’s dig into the stats. The Purosangue is powered by a 6.5-litre V12 that can put down 725hp and 716Nm, and this power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It weighs in at 2,033kg, and it costs around £313,000. The Porsche is equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 and an electric motor, and these combine to produce 739hp and 960Nm. It has an 8-speed auto gearbox, weighs in at 2,495kg, and costs from £165,000.
The all-new Aston Martin also has a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and in this instance, it puts down 707hp and 900Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed auto, it weighs 2,245kg, and it costs just shy of £200k, coming in at £195,000.
There’s yet another 4-litre twin-turbo V8 in the Urus, in this case producing 666hp and 850Nm. It comes with all-wheel drive, an 8-speed gearbox, and it weighs 2,150kg. From new, the Lambo costs from £209,000.
Both the X6M and the Range Rover Sport SV are equipped with the same 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. However, whereas the BMW makes 625hp and 750Nm, the Range Rover produces 635hp and 750Nm! They weigh 2,445kg and 2,560kg respectively, and while the BMW costs £131,000, the Range Rover comes in at £171,000.
The penultimate car is the AMG G63, which rolls up with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that puts down 585hp and 850Nm. Its 9-speed gearbox sends this power to all four wheels, it weighs 2,550kg, and it costs from £172,000.
Then finally we have the Defender. It’s housing a 5-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet, and it produces the least power here, putting down 525hp and 625hp. It’s the heaviest car here, at around 2,600kg, and it’s also the cheapest car, costing around £120,000.
So we have eight incredible incredible cars, but only ONE can win! So which will it be? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Which is quicker in a drag race - an all-new Audi RS7 Performance, or a BMW M3 Touring?
Well we’re about to find out as they go head-to-head over the quarter-mile!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the BMW, it’s powered by a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can produce 510hp and 650Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,865kg.
Then we come to the Audi. Under the bonnet it’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this produces a glorious 630hp and 850Nm. It’s equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and this delivers the power to all-four wheels. When it comes to weight, it tips the scales at 2,065kg.
So the Audi has more power, but we know the M3’s launch control fires it like a rocket off the line! Will it be enough to snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New AMG GT review: Better than a 911?!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Mat’s got his hands on the all-new Mercedes-AMG GT!
We’ve got our hands on the AMG GT 63 edition, and he’s about to see if it can compete with class leaders like the Porsche 911 Turbo S and Aston Martin Vantage!
So first off, let’s check out the design. Even though it’s an all-new GT, there’s no denying it’s unmistakably recognisable as an AMG GT. Around the back, you’ll find a cool new tail light design, and although there’s a diffuser and some vents, the stick of truth has found them all to be fake! Despite sharing the same underpinnings as the AMG SL, the only thing borrowed from this car’s design can be found along the side - the doors! Everything else is unique to the GT. Up front, you’ll find the instantly recognisable aggressive-style grille, coupled with a load of vents which are actually real!
Step inside and the GT is a lovely car to be in. There’s Alcantara on the steering wheel and you'll find weighty metal paddle shifters on either side, and there’s a huge infotainment screen on the centre of the dash. The turbine-style vents look cool, but unfortunately, there’s quite a bit of cheap materials to be found in the cabin. What’s more, the cover for the sun visor has to be operated manually! Not what you would expect to find in a car that costs from £165,000.
When it comes to engines, all versions of the AMG GT are powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8. The entry-level is the AMG 55 model, which puts down 476hp and 700Nm. The car we have here, the 63, produces 585hp and 800Nm, while the range-topper is the GT 63 S E-Performance. It’s a hybrid, so it comes with a V8 and an electric motor, which combine to produce 816hp and an eye-watering 1,420Nm!
So what do you think - could the new GT be a 911 beater? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

New AMG C63 vs BMW M3 vs Audi RS4: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s the one you AMG fans have been waiting for!
We’ve finally got our hands on the new Mercedes-AMG C63 S Estate, and it’s going head-to-head against its closest rivals - the BMW M3 Touring and the Audi RS4 Competition!
So let’s check out how the three compare. Starting with the AMG, it’s done the unthinkable and swapped the V8 for a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo! This can produce 476hp, but fear not - there’s also an electric motor fitted to the rear axel that can produce 204hp, so as a result the new C63 produces 680hp and a colossal 1,020Nm! It’s equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, it weighs in at a hefty 2,190kg, and it costs around £99,750.
As for the BMW, it’s packing the same 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six as found in the saloon. This puts down 510hp and 650Nm, sends power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at just 1,865kg. It’s also a fair bit cheaper than the AMG, coming in at £88,800.
Then finally we have the limited-edition Audi RS4 Competition. It has the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 as the regular car, and it still produces 450hp and 600Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s both the lightest & cheapest car here, coming in at 1,745kg & £84,600 respectively.
So surely it has to be a walkover for the AMG, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Amazing Toyota GR Yaris GRMN timed on track and 0-60mph
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
How’s THIS for a World Exclusive!
Mat’s flown over to Japan, and he’s got his hands on every edition of GR Yaris ever made! But that’s not all, he’s going to be the first journalist EVER to take these cars around Toyota’s all-new test track!
During this video, he’ll get his hands on the 1st generation, the Japan-exclusive GRMN, the 2nd generation (both manual & automatic), and the limited-edition Ojier & Rovanperä editions!
So let’s take a look at how they compare. Starting with the 1st GR Yaris, it comes with a 1.6-litre 3-cylinder engine that produces 272hp and 370Nm. It’s equipped with a switchable four-wheel drive system and a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it truly is an affordable and incredible rally car for the road!
Then we come to the GRMN edition. Only 500 were ever made, and while horsepower is the same, torque increases slightly to 390Nm. The car also comes with several other upgrades, including a carbon fibre wing and bonnet, a lower ride height, and a load of Alcantara on the inside!
Then we come to the second generation. Power has been increased to 300hp and 400Nm, and it’s available either manually or automatically. It comes with stiffer suspension, a 20mm lower ride height than the gen one, and a set of digital dials. It also comes with a loftier price tag, starting at £40,000.
And then finally we have the two limited-edition models, built with personal input from drivers from the Toyota Gazoo Racing WRC team. Both editions have exclusive paint jobs, improved rear wings, as well as drive mode settings personally chosen by the two drivers. Both cars are limited to just 200 editions each!
It’s the video every GR Yaris fan has been waiting for, but which will Mat choose as his favourite? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!

This new car BLEW me away!

This is the all-new Peugeot 3008!
Mat’s got his hands on the all-electric version of Peugeot’s family-friendly SUV, and he’s about to find out if it can compete with key competitors like the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron!
So let’s start with a look at the design, and we have to say, it looks absolutely fantastic! Around the back you’ve got a sloping roof line, a little spoiler and some cool tail lights, and it also comes with a two-tone roof and a smart sculptured effect on the wheel arches. At the front it comes with prominent scratched lion-style DRLs, and even though this car’s electric, it comes with a super-stylish huge grille. It’s a huge improvement on the 3008s of yesteryear!
Step inside and the cool design trend continues! Up top on the dash is a huge infotainment and digital dial screen, and there’s a customisable screen in the centre of the dash where you can add shortcut buttons. The cabin is mostly filled with soft-touch materials, and the centre console even comes with some physical buttons included. All-in-all, it’s hard to fault the quality of this interior.
When it comes to performance, there’s currently a single petrol-powered car available, which is powered by a 1.2-litre engine that drives the front-wheels and provided 158hp. As for the E-3008, it comes with a single electric motor that can provide 213hp. It’s also equipped with a 72kWh battery which is good for a range of up to 327 miles.
There are a few other releases in the pipe-line, including an E-3008 with a 98kWh battery and a range of 430 miles, as well as a dual motor edition that will be able to produce 320hp. A plug-in hybrid is also due in the future, too.
When it comes to price, the petrol-powered 3008 starts from around £35,000. But if you’re in the market for an E-3008, you’re looking at a starting price of around £46,000! So is it better than the competition? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

NEW Porsche 911 Revealed!
Compare the best new & used car deals with Carwow: https://bit.ly/New-Car-Deals-2805
Meet the updated Porsche 911!
Porsche has unveiled an updated version of its class-leading sports car, but this is no ordinary facelift. For the first time ever, the 911 has gone hybrid!
So apart from the changes under the skin, let’s see what else has been updated. Thankfully, not too much! Around the front, you’ll find a new set of LED matrix headlights, as well as an updated front bumper. Within it, you’ll find 5 vertical fins on each side, and these can open and close depending on whether the radiator needs cooling. There are new alloy wheel designs to choose from, and around the rear, you’ll find a tweaked light bar, as well as new vents behind the windscreen and a new rear bumper.
Step inside and there’s one notable change - the analogue rev counter has gone, with a fully digital driver display fitted instead. It looks pretty smart and comes with lots of different options, but it’s just not the same as a traditional rev counter! Otherwise, the interior is every bit as smart as you’d expect from a 911, with soft-touch materials throughout and a large infotainment screen on the dash.
When it comes to performance, only the new GTS comes as a hybrid. It’s now powered by a 3.6-litre flat-six with a single turbo, and this combines with the electric motor to produce 541hp and 610Nm of torque - that’s 61hp more than the previous GTS! Porsche claims it will be able to hit 60mph in just 3 seconds, and it also comes with a top speed of 194mph.
The new 911 range starts from £99,800. But if you’re looking to get your hands on the GTS, it will set you back at least £132,600! The question is, if you could, would you pay it? Or would you pick up a second-hand fully petrol-powered 911 instead? Let us know in the comments!

Should these 10 new car trends DIE?!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Something is making our cars uglier, and we can do nothing about it!
In recent years several new laws and regulations have been introduced, and it seems they are ruining the aesthetics of all-new cars! To make matters worse, some of the rules and regulations that have been introduced will alter cars so much, that some relatively new cars have had to go out of production altogether!
In this video, Mat will run you through 10 aspects of cars that are having to change due to these new rules. For example, all new cars have to come with AEB sensors. This stands for autonomous emergency braking. Now of course this is important to help cars avoid collisions, the problem is, it results in large boxes having to be added to the front of new cars, and they just look awful!
But that’s not all! There are now regulations for the size of door mirrors, too. In the past you would expect to see small cars come with compact door mirrors which still served their purpose. However, in the modern day, door mirrors have to come of a certain size, and we think these mirrors just look oversized on certain cars, further ruining the aesthetics!
But of course, one of the biggest law changes that is changing new cars is the banning of internal combustion engines. Previously, the grille on the front of a car was a great way for manufacturers to show off their identity, but the removal of petrol-powered engines means the grilles aren’t required, so manufacturers are now adding plastic grilles which just lend themselves to ruining the car’s aesthetics even further!
The question is, which of these laws and regulations do you think has ruined cars the most? Let us know in the comments!

Lamborghini Revuelto v Tesla Model S Plaid: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for an incredible petrol vs electric drag race!
The Lamborghini Revuelto is back, and it’s going head-to-head against the almighty Tesla Model S Plaid! So let’s see how these two incredible machines compare.
Starting with the Lambo, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 along with THREE electric motors! These combine to produce 1,015hp and 1,076Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,772kg. If you’re looking to pick one up, it’ll cost you at least £447,000!
Then alongside it we have the Tesla. It’s powered by three electric motors, and these combine to produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. It’s also well up on weight compared to the Revuelto, tipping the scales at 2,539kg! It’s a whole lot cheaper, mind, costing around £115,000.
So they’re almost neck-and-neck when it comes to power, but will the extra weight bring the Tesla down? Or will the instant power release propel it to victory? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

It’s time for an absolutely incredible off-road race!
We’ve got our hands on a Polaris RZR off-road buggy, and it’s going head-to-head in a series of off-road challenges against a Suzuki GSX-R that’s been modified to help it leave the tarmac!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Polaris, it’s powered by a 1-litre 2-cylinder engine that can deliver 112hp. It comes with four-wheel drive, weighs in at 745kg, and all-in costs around £29,000.
As for the bike, it’s a whole lot lighter than the Polaris, weighing only 198kg. It’s still packing a bit of power, mind, being able to put down 140hp. It was one of the most sought-after super bikes back in the early 2000s, and it's now had several mods added to it including off-road tyres and armour plating!
So can a superbike actually beat a buggy that's been built for off-roading? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Audi RS4 Competition v RS7 Performance: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
We’ve got our hands on the limited-edition Audi RS4 Competition, and we’re about to see how this extra-special RS4 compares to the all-new Audi RS7 Performance!
So let’s see how the two compare. The RS4 Competition comes with the same 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 as in the standard car. The engine also produces the same 450hp and 600Nm as the regular car. However, it’s had several upgrades applied to it, including a tweak to the gearbox software to help it shift and launch better than the standard car!
Power is still sent to all four wheels via the 8-speed automatic gearbox, and this limited-edition RS4 tips the scales at 1,785kg.
Then we come to the RS7 Performance. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this can put down 630hp and 800Nm. Just like the RS4 power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 2,065kg.
So the RS7 weighs more than the RS4, but it also rolls up with an eye-watering high price tag of £133,000! The RS4 may not be that cheap either, costing £84,600, but is the RS7 worth £48,000 more? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New Renault Scenic review: Better roof than a Rolls-Royce?!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
This is the all-new Renault Scenic!
In the past, the Scenic was renowned as an MPV people character, but the design has now been updated to make it more like an SUV. What’s more, it’s also ditched the internal combustion engine and gone electric only!
So does the new Scenic have what it takes to compete with class leaders like the Skoda Enyaq and Tesla Model Y? Let's take a closer look
We'll start with the design, and around the back, the Scenic looks pretty smart, and it comes with a set of futuristic & thin tail lamps. However, the lower part of the car sticks out, and we think it looks a little strange. Along the side, the car we have here (the range-topping edition) comes with smart chrome surrounds, and there’s also a full-length panoramic roof. Along the front, there’s a smart-looking grille, coupled with some thin headlamps.
Step inside and the Scenic is a pretty smart car. There’s a large infotainment screen that sits in the centre of the dash, and the digital dials screen is also pretty large and comes with a number of different settings to choose from. The cabin has some soft-touch materials, but there’s also a fair share of scratchy plastics.
As the Scenic has now ditched the engine, there are just two battery options to choose from. The entry-level is a 60kWh battery with a range of up to 260 miles and a single 170hp motor. Alternatively, you can choose the 87kWh battery, which comes with a range of up to 379 miles and a single motor that delivers 217hp.
So what do you think - does the new Scenic have what it takes to compete with the best? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

So let’s take a look through the line-up. Starting with the Purosangue, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 that can deliver 725hp and 716Nm, and it weighs in at 2,033kg. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it comes in at a starting price of £313,000.
Alongside it we have the 812 GTS. It’s also powered by a 6.5-litre NA V12, and it produces 800hp and 718Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 7-speed dual-clutch, and it comes in at a starting price of £293,000.
The third car in the line-up is the 296 GTB. This rolls up with a 3-litre twin-turbo V6 coupled with an electric motor, and these combine to create 830hp and 740Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels only, and it’s the lightest car here, tipping the scales at 1,470kg (although to be fair, that’s only the dry weight).
And then the last car in the line-up is the almighty SF90. It’s equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 as well as three electric motors. These combine to produce 1,000hp and 800Nm, and power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox. It tips the scales at 1,570kg, and if you try and pick one up today it’ll cost around £376,000.
So will the SF90 walk it? Or could an upset be on the cards? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for two off-roading legends to go head-to-head!
We’ve got Mat in a Land Cruiser from 2002, and it’s about to face off against a Range Rover in a series of off-road challenges!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Land Cruiser, it’s powered by a 4.7-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can produce 235hp and 434Nm of torque. It comes equipped with a 4-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,260kg. We picked up this car with over 275,000 miles on the clock, and it still cost us £5,000!
Alongside that, we have the Range Rover. It dates back to 2004, and it’s powered by a 4.4-litre naturally-aspirated V8 that can put down 286hp and 440Nm. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 5-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,440kg. What’s more, the Range Rover only cost us £2,000 when we picked it up!
So the Range Rover is heavier, but it also has more power! Will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… Let’s do this!

How Used EV Values Are Dropping Like Crazy!

Thanks to Solera and CAP HPI for providing the data used in this video:

Every car loses value as soon as you drive it off a forecourt. Unfortunately, depreciation is just something you have to accept when buying a new car.
However, some cars seem to be more susceptible at losing value than others, and in this instance, we’re taking a closer look at electric cars!
We’ve teamed up with cap hpi to take a look at some of the newer electric cars to hit our streets, and we’re finding out what the top 10 worst electric cars are when it comes to losing value after one year of ownership.
From affordable to high-end cars, it seems no car is safe from depreciation! For example, we found a Porsche Taycan Turbo S from 2023 that only had 20 miles on the clock, and the value had dropped from £150,000 to £113,000 - that’s a loss of around £1,800 for each mile the car had travelled!
However, some cars have seen a much steeper decline in their value. But which do you think will claim the top spot? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Lamborghini Revuelto v 1000hp M3 Touring v 1000hp R8: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
The Lamborghini Revuelto is BACK, and it’s going up against some crazy opponents!
First up we have Mat in the BMW M3 Touring, and on the far side of the track, we have an Audi R8 V10. But this is no normal BMW or Audi - they’ve both been tuned and now have insane power outputs!
So let’s check out the three contenders. Starting with the Lambo, it’s powered by a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12 along with three electric motors. These combine to produce 1,015hp and 1,062Nm, and the car weighs in at 1,772kg. All in, this car will set you back at least £450,000!
Then we have the M3 Touring. The normal M3 Touring has a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six that can deliver 510hp and 650Nm. However, this one has had a full engine and gearbox rebuild, and as a result, it now delivers 1,000hp and 1,100Nm! The car weighs 1,865kg, and the cost of the car and the upgrades combined is £135,000.
Then finally we have the Audi. It comes with the same 5.2-litre V10 as the regular car, but whereas it's normally naturally aspirated, it now has a couple of turbos strapped to it! As a result, it can now deliver 1,000hp and 800Nm! It’s the lightest car here, at 1,580kg, and all-in this car cost around £100,000.
So can anyone pick a winner? Surely the all-new Lambo has to snatch it, right?! There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Has Mercedes ruined the G-Wagen?

Meet the all-electric G-Class!
Mercedes has finally unveiled the all-electric G580. The question is, does this all-electric G-Class ruin the heritage of this world-renowned off-roader?
For starters, let’s check out the design. Thankfully, the biggest changes are under the skin, so this all-new G retains its predecessor's classic boxy shape. Up front, there’s an updated grille design, coupled with an updated lower bumper. You still get trim that runs across the side of the car, although in this electric edition it comes with a little blue stripe included! Around the back, there’s an updated rear bumper, and on the back door, what once held a spare wheel now holds the charging cables!
Step inside and the G580 is just as stylish and well-built as those that came before it. There are soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout, and the seats are super comfortable. The 580 comes with a new steering wheel, updated infotainment and digital dial screens, along with a number of other updates in the centre console and across the dash.
When it comes to performance, there are a number of options to run through. For those not wanting to go fully electric, there’s a 3-litre diesel and a 3-litre straight-six turbo petrol, and these deliver 367hp and 449hp respectively. Meanwhile, the AMG G63 delivers 585hp, and all cars are equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
As for the G580, it comes with an incredible four electric motors, and these combine to produce 587hp and an eye-watering 1,164Nm! So there’s loads of power, but because it weighs over 3 tonnes, it still takes 4.7 seconds to hit 60mph.
The entry-level diesel G-Class starts at £136,000, the all-electric G580 starts at around £160,000, and the most powerful AMG G63 costs around £185,000. With that in mind, should you choose the all-electric G580 over the G63?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

New Aston Martin Vantage review!

Meet the all-new Aston Martin Vantage!
The Vantage is essentially Britain’s answer to the Porsche 911 Turbo S. The question is, does this all-new sports car have what it takes to go toe-to-toe with the class leader?
Well for starters, let’s take a closer look at the design. Up top the front end has been redesigned, and you’ll find a carbon fibre splitter down below, along with vents on the bonnet to help release air that comes in through the trademark Aston Martin grille. There are all-new matrix LED headlights, and all the vents you see serve a purpose. Around the back, there’s a large light bar along with a ducktail spoiler, and across the side, there are some extended side skirts. All-in-all, it looks fantastic!
Step inside and the interior set-up is very similar to recent Aston Martin releases like the DB12. The centre console comes covered in a multitude of buttons and rollers, and they’re all built to a high standard! Aston Martin now also has its own infotainment system, although if we’re being honest, it’s not exactly the best. Thankfully though that’s the only real negative of the interior. The cabin is built to a high standard using soft touch, and nice-quality materials throughout, and as you’d expect, the seats are super comfortable.
Then we get to the power source - the glorious 4-litre twin-turbo V8! It may be the same AMG unit as found in the previous car, but Aston Martin has been allowed to go to work with it for this new release. As a result, it comes with bigger turbos, and now produces 665hp and 800Nm! That’s 150hp more than the previous Vantage!
Naturally, all of this quality comes at a cost, with the new Vantage starting from £165,000. So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Toyota Hilux v Isuzu D-MAX: OFF-ROAD CHALLENGE!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for an almighty Arctic Trucks off-road showdown!
We’ve got our hands on an Isuzu D-MAX, and it’s about to face off against a Toyota Hilux! They’re two incredible pick-ups, and they’ve both been worked on by the team at Arctic Trucks, which means they come with a number of upgrades including wide-body kits, upgraded springs and dampers, wider suspension and huge 35-inch tyres!
So let’s see how these pick-ups compare. Starting with the D-MAX, it’s powered by a 1.9-litre turbo diesel engine that can put down 164hp and 360Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,205kg. It’s also equipped with a low-range mode as well as a rear locking diff.
Alongside it is the Hilux, which has a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel under the bonnet that puts down 204hp and 500Nm. It also comes with off-road tech like in the Isuzu, although it is a bit heavier, tipping the scales at 2,325kg.
Both these trucks come in at just under £70,000 once Arctic Trucks have gone to work on them, but which will come out on top in this video? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Nissan R34 v Toyota JZX100: DRAG RACE
Tell manufacturers what you think about your car: https://bit.ly/-Driver-Power-Survey
JDM fans, we’ve got you with this one!
We’ve got our hands on a Toyota Chaser & a Nissan R34 Skyline, and they’re both going head-to-head in a drag race!
Both these cars have been heavily modified and normally spend most of their time drifting, but Mat and Yianni wanted to see how they compared when they went head-to-head in a straight-line race!
First up we’ve got the Toyota Chaser JZX100. Normally its 2.5-litre inline 6 would produce 276hp and 377Nm, but naturally, it’s been increased, and it now produces 500hp and 678Nm! Power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 5-speed manual, and the total cost of the car including the upgrades is £50,000.
Next up we have the GT-R R34. Normally it would ‘only’ produce 155hp and 186Nm, but this has been dialled way up to now produce 550hp and 746Nm! Just like the Chaser it’s RWD, and the total cost including all upgrades is around £100,000!
The question is, who will handle the manual shifts better - Mat or Yianni? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

The LEAST reliable cars 2024!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Thanks to Warrantywise Extended Car Warranties for providing the data used in this video:
https://www.warrantywise.co.uk/
Here it is - the top 10 most unreliable used cars you can buy in 2024!
We’ve teamed up with the team at Warrantywise to find out which ten cars they rank as the least reliable cars you can buy in 2024. To compile this list, there are a few things to consider regarding this data.
For one, all models included in this list are less than 10 years old, so they’re all relatively new, and the manufacturer warranty has expired for all cars included. The list also excludes vans - we’re only looking at cars here!
The question is, which car will come out on top? There’s a stereotype that Italian cars are notoriously unreliable - will we see a load of Alfas and Fiats appear in the top 10? And on the flip side, will we see any ever-reliable German brands appear in the countdown?
There’s only one way to find out - stick with Mat to see for yourself!
