Meet the all-new Ferrari 12 Cilindri!
It’s Ferrari’s replacement for the 812 Superfast, and it may just be the last V12-fronted Ferrari ever released! But with that in mind, could it potentially be the greatest Ferrari ever released?! Let’s take a closer look.
Starting with the design, if anything it’s not exactly instantly recognisable as a Ferrari! Rather than look similar to the 812, Ferrari wanted the Cilindri to be modern and futuristic, with very few sharp creases or sculptured body panels. However, fear not Ferrari fans! There are still a few classic design elements, including the design of the daytime running lights, and the way the headlights wrap around the front bumper, similar to the 365 Daytona.
Step inside, and the interior seriously reminds us of the Purosangue - apart from the lack of back seats, of course! There are three screens on the inside, including one on the dash for the passenger. There’s also lashing of Alcantara throughout, but would you expect anything else from a Ferrari that will likely cost £300,000+?
Now let’s get to the centrepiece of the 12 Cilindri - the engine! It’s based on the 6.5-litre V12 from the old 812 Competizione, and it generates an eye-watering 830hp and 678Nm of torque! It comes with a couple of key upgrades over the old engine, including special aluminium alloy pistons, and titanium con-rods that are 40% lighter than the steel ones.
So what do you think - could this be the greatest Ferrari of all time? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

700hp+ RS6 v RS3 v S4: DRAG RACE
Tell manufacturers what you think about your car: https://bit.ly/Driver-Power-Survey
It’s time for a tuned Audi drag race!
We’ve got our hands on an RS3, an S4 and an Audi RS6, and all three have been tuned by Awesome GTI! So let’s see how the three compare.
Starting with the RS3, it’s still equipped with a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo, but whereas it normally puts down 400hp and 500Nm, after the tune it now delivers 475hp and 600Nm. It’s still the lightest car here, mind, weighing in at 1,575kg. The cost of the car and tune combined is around £70,000.
Then we have the S4. It originally came with a 3-litre turbo V6, and it’s still equipped with one. However, whereas it normally puts down 354hp and 500Nm, it now delivers 556hp and 843Nm! It weighs 1,835kg and is SO cheap, with the car and tune only costing £24,000!
Then finally we have the RS6. It’s still equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, but it now produces 730hp and 1,000Nm, compared to the stock 600hp and 800Nm. It’s no surprise that it’s the heaviest car here, weighing 2,075kg, and the car and tune cost around £65,000.
So will it be a clean sweep for the RS6? Or could the extra weight slow it down? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

The Ferrari Purosangue is finally HERE!
Mat’s rolled up in the Lamborghini Urus Performante, and he’s about to see if it has what it takes to bring down this all-new Ferrari SUV!
So let’s check out how the two compare. Starting with the Lambo, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 666hp and 850Nm of torque. It’s equipped with four-wheel drive, weighs in at 2,150kg, and has a starting price of £209,000.
As for the Ferrari, well it’s packing a much larger engine - a 6.5-litre naturally-aspirated V12! This can deliver 725hp and 716Nm, and it weighs in at 2,033kg. It’s a bit more expensive than the Urus, with a starting price of £313,000.
So the Ferrari has more power, but the Lambo has more torque! Will the extra weight of the Lambo drag it down? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Audi RS7 Performance v Tuned RS3: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for an Audi vs Audi drag race!
Mat’s brought along his new long-term test car, the Audi RS7 Performance, and he’s racing it against an Audi RS3! But this is no ordinary RS3 - it’s had an ECU remap and a recalibrated gearbox, and it just may have what it takes to compete with the RS7!
So let’s check out the stats. Starting with the RS3, it’s equipped with a 2.5-litre 5-cylinder turbo. This would normally produce 400hp and 480Nm of torque, but following the tune it can now produce 500hp and 630Nm! It only weighs in at 1,510kg, and it costs around £30,000.
Then we have the RS7. It packs a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, producing 630hp and 850Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it weighs much more than the RS3, tipping the scales at 2,065kg! It’s also so much more expensive, costing around £133,000!
So the RS7 is up on power, but it’s also well up on weight! Will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New Porsche Macan Review - has it lost appeal?
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Porsche’s mini SUV has had a major revamp for 2024, and there’s one key difference - it’s gone fully ELECTRIC! Now that might sound like a bad thing to some but Porsche being Porsche has gone all out on the engineering of the new Macan.
Let’s have a closer look shall we. On the outside Porsche has done what they usually do and kept the design pretty similar to the previous car but still made some notable changes. Starting at the front the grille has been swapped for a larger lower air intake, and the new headlights are almost exactly the same as the Taycan.
From the side there’s not a huge difference to the current Macan but you can start to see one big change they have actually made. And that of course is the rear, you now have a much more squat looking rear-end which helps with the aerodynamics of the car, whether it looks better or not, we’ll leave that up to you.
On the inside the new Macan is again pretty similar to the Taycan, but that’s no bad thing is it? The driver gets a high resolution curved display as well as a large infotainment screen in the centre of the dash. Even the front passenger gets their own display that is perfect for watching Carwow on.
Then of course getting rid of the ICE version of the Macan does has some benefits, one of those being, performance. The entry-level dual-motor can produce 408hp, while the top-of-the-range Turbo can put down 640hp and an mind bending 1,130Nm of torque - that’s 80Nm more than the Taycan Turbo S! Porsche also claims it should be able to hit 60mph in just 3.3 seconds but we’ll see what it can really do in this video!
The new Macan will start at around £70,000, rising to around £95,000 for the Turbo edition. But is it worth it?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Meet the all-new Aston Martin DB12 Volante!
Mat’s got his hands on this new drop-top GT, and he’s about to see how this car has evolved compared to the DB11 Volante, while also seeing if it can compare with class leaders like the Roma Spider!
For starters, let’s check out the exterior design, and it’s no surprise that it looks absolutely fantastic! The rear end may be relatively similar to the DB11, but that’s no bad thing! It’s slightly wider than the previous edition, and the new tail light design looks absolutely great. Along the side, the car comes with 21-inch alloys, and it also comes with pop-out door handles, aggressive side skirts and frameless side mirrors.
Along the front, the car has had a total design overhaul. The clamshell bonnet is gone, and it’s instead made of several different panels. There are loads of vents, matrix LED headlights, and the trademark huge grille at the front.
Step inside and the interior’s had a total overhaul. There’s an all-new infotainment system, and redesigned centre console with loads of physical buttons and rollers, and naturally the interior is covered in swathes of leather and aluminium panels. The seats are also super comfortable, but don’t expect adults to fit into the rear seats!
Under the bonnet, you’ll find an AMG 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 680hp and 800Nm of torque. This power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and Aston Martin claims it can hit 60mph in 3.6 seconds.
The all-new DB12 Volante starts from £205,000, but is it worth it? Stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Did Brabus ruin this G63?
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Meet the Brabus G700!
It’s an absolutely raucous, in-your-face version of the regular AMG G63. The question is, is it an improvement over the regular G-wagon? And does it warrant the eye-watering £300,000 starting price?!
For starters, let’s check out the design. As with any Brabus, it comes with even wider wheel arches than the standard G and redesigned front and rear bumpers. It also comes with several Brabus badges in place of where you would normally find a Mercedes 3-pointed star, and there are a whole load of fake vents around the wheel arches, as well as a huge scoop on the bonnet that leads absolutely nowhere!
Step inside and the G700 is all pretty similar to the regular G63. The only difference you’ll find are the green inserts on the seats, as well as many Brabus logos throughout. But otherwise, you wouldn’t know you're in a Brabus instead of an AMG!
One area where there’s been a big change is the engine! Under the bonnet, you’ll still find a a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, but it’s had a new ECU fitted, so as a result it now puts down 700h and 950Nm! This power is sent to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
So it’s about as in-your-face as it gets, but is it really worth around £100,000 more than a regular AMG G63? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Jeep v Land Rover v INEOS: EXTREME mud testing!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for some EXTREME off-roading!
We’ve got our hands on a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, a Land Rover Defender 90 & an INEOS Grenadier, and they’re about to go head-to-head on one of the muddiest off-road courses we’ve ever driven on!
The cars will be taking on several challenges, from an off-road drag race to testing their abilities to crossing rutted pathways and driving up super steep hills, and we’re about to find out which of these three is a must-have for tackling the muddiest of off-road courses.
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the Jeep, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo that can deliver 272hp and 400Nm. It comes with four-wheel drive and costs around £62,500.
Alongside it, we have the Defender, which is equipped with a 3-litre straight-six turbo diesel that can put down 300hp and 650Nm of torque. It comes with four-wheel drive and costs around £68,000.
Finally, we have the INEOS. It’s housing a 3-litre twin-turbo straight-six under the bonnet, and this produces 249hp and 550Nm. It also comes with all-wheel drive, and it’s the most expensive car here, costing around £76,000.
All cars come with tech to help with off-roading, such as high & low range mode, as well as lockable diffs. The question is, which will triumph over this series of tasks? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Lamborghini Revuelto v Ferrari SF90 v Porsche 918: DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Lamborghini Revuelto drag race let’s GOOO!!
We’ve finally got our hands on this all-new Lambo, and it’s facing off against two of its top rivals - the Ferrari SF90, and the Porsche 918 Spyder! So let’s check out how these three epic hypercars 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 1,062Nm 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 we come to the SF90. It’s equipped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8, and just like the Lambo it also has 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.
Then finally we have the 918. It’s powered by a 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8 along with two electric motors. These work in tandem to put down 887hp and 1,280Nm of torque. It sends this power to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,674kg. It’s easily the most expensive car here, as it’s now valued at an incredible 1.3 million pounds!
So will the Lambo walk it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

SIX Teslas in a drag race line-up? You better believe it!
We’ve got our hands on every performance version of the Model S and Model X. From the P100D through to the Plaid, these are the six quickest Teslas money can buy. The question is, just how different is their performance?
Let’s start with how they compare on paper. The Model S P100D rolls up with dual motors that combine to produce 671hp and 950Nm of torque. It tips the scales at around 2,100kg. As for the Model X P100D, its two motors combine for 534hp and 755Nm, and it’s a fair bit heavier than the Model S, weighing in at around 2,500kg.
Then we have the Ravens. Both come with dual motors, and both the Model S & Model X produce 778hp and 1,140Nm. However, while the Model S weighs 2,255kg, the Model X comes in at 2,552kg.
Then finally we have the Plaids. Both cars have ti-motors, and both produce 1,020hp and 1,420Nm. But just like the Raven, while the Model S weighs in at 2,190kg, the Model X is a whole lot heavier, coming in at 2,464kg.
So it comes as no surprise as to who the favourite is, but just how different will the performance of these cars be? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Are used EVs a rip-off?!

Mat’s got his hands on one of the cheapest electric cars in the whole of the UK, and he’s about to find out just how the performance & range of the car has changed from when it was first released.
The car’s a first-generation Nissan Leaf, and Mat bought it through Carwow for just £1,500. When it was first released it would have cost from around £21,000, and that even included a £5,000 government grant! So even though it wasn’t the most expensive car when it was first released, there’s no denying Mat managed to pick this one up for a bit of a bargain!
As new, the Nissan Leaf came with a 24kWh battery pack that was good for a claimed range of up to 124 miles. It also had a single electric motor that drove the front wheels only and was able to put down 109hp.
The question is, with the maximum claimed range already relatively low, will Mat have any chance of reaching his final destination? And what exactly will happen when the car finally runs out of charge? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Four of the hottest crossover SUVs you can buy are about to go head-to-head over the quarter-mile!
We’ve got Mat in the new MINI Countryman JCW, and he’s lining up against a BMW iX2, a VW T-Roc R, and an Audi SQ2!
So let’s see how these pocket rockets compare. Starting with the MINI, it’s powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo petrol engine that can put down 300hp and 400Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,735kg. If you’re looking to pick one up it’ll set you back just under £40,000.
Alongside it we have the all-electric iX2. It comes with dual motors that combine to produce 313hp and 494Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 2,020kg. Not only is it the heaviest car here, it’s also the most expensive, costing around £51,600.
The T-Roc R & SQ2 are built on the same platform, so as a result, their performance stats are pretty much identical. Both are powered by a 2-litre 4-cylinder turbo, and both produce 300hp and 400Nm. Both are equipped with a 7-speed gearbox and four-wheel drive, although while the T-Roc weighs 1,575kg, the Audi is slightly lighter at 1,535kg. The Audi is also just over £1,000 cheaper than the VW, costing around £44,100.
So will it be an easy win for the all-electric BMW? Or will another car snatch it? There’s only one way to find out... LET’S RACE!

£120k Defender V8: Why is it so popular?!
Compare the best new & used car deals with Carwow: https://bit.ly/New-Car-Deals-0804
This is the Land Rover Defender 130!
It’s an 8-seat behemoth that's one of the most imposing cars you can buy in 2024. What’s more, it’s super popular, with over 110,000 bought worldwide in 2023 alone!
The thing is, it doesn’t exactly come cheap. The edition we have here comes with a supercharged V8, and it costs around £117,000!! So why is it so popular?
Well for starters, let’s check out the design. As we said, it’s superimposing, and it just has a real presence on the road. The V8 edition comes with 22” alloys, and we think the large overhang at the rear for the 3rd row of seats looks pretty smart. The boxy design makes it instantly recognisable as a Defender, and what’s more, step around the back and you’ll find a set of 100% real quad tailpipes!
The engine is a real dream too. It’s powered by a 5-litre Supercharged V8, and this is good for 500hp. It’s super responsive and it sounds absolutely raucous both inside and out. There’s no sign of a soft limiter here!
However, it’s not all good. The interior is pretty well laid out, but there are lots of scratchy and cheap-feeling materials throughout the cabin. What’s more, the infotainment system isn’t exactly the best, either.
You may think these are minor things, but when you consider that it comes with a six-figure price tag, is it really worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

It’s time for an almighty V8 showdown!
We’ve got Mat in the all-new Audi RS7 Performance, and he’s lining up against a BMW M8 Competition & a Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S 4-Door!
So let’s see how these ferocious machines compare. Starting with the Audi, it’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. Power is set to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,067kg. If you want to pick one up, it’ll set you back around £133,000.
Then we have the BMW M8. Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, and this can put down 625hp and 750Nm of torque. It comes with four-wheel drive and an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,074kg. It’s slightly more expensive than the RS7, with a price tag of £138,000.
Finally, we have the AMG. It’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that produces 639hp and 900Nm of torque. It sends power to all four wheels via a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 2,045kg. It’s the most expensive car here, costing around £154,000.
So the AMG has the most power and the least weight! Surely it’ll be a walkover, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

We’ve got our hands on a BMW M340i, M340d & 330e, and they’re going head-to-head to see just how different the performance is of a petrol, diesel & plug-in hybrid 3 Series. However, they’re not all stock - each car has had a stage one tune! So let’s see how they compare.
Starting with Mat in the M340d Touring, it’s powered by a 3-litre straight-six diesel that can now put down 430hp and 850Nm. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,945kg.
Next up we have the M340i. It’s equipped with a 3-litre straight-six petrol, and it now puts down 470hp and 630Nm. Like the diesel power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at just 1758kg.
Then finally we have the 330e. It’s equipped with a 2-litre turbocharged 4 cylinder coupled with an electric motor, and these combine to put down 400hp and 700Nm. Power is only sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s also the lightest car here, tipping the scales at scales at 1,740kg.
So the M340i has the most power, but will it be an easy win? Or could the diesel or plug-in hybrid snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New Toyota Land Cruiser ULTIMATE review!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
The time has come for Mat to get his hands on the all-new Toyota Land Cruiser!
He’ll be testing out this all-new 4x4 both on & off-road to see if it has what it takes to compete with class leaders like the Suzuki Jimny & Mercedes G-Class! So let’s take a closer look…
Starting with the design, the Land Cruiser looks seriously rugged on the outside. It rolls up with a boxy-style design, coupled with a huge rear bumper and massive windows along the side and back to help let loads of light in. As you’d expect with a proper 4x4 it also comes with roof bars as well as running boards along the side, while up from the grille design harks back to the classic Land Cruiser design. It looks great!
Step inside and there’ll be no mistaking that you’re in a Land Cruiser. The dash design mirrors the chunky looks of the exterior, and there’s even padding on the centre console so you don’t damage your knees when off-roading! There’s a fair bit of scratchy plastics throughout the place, but that can be forgiven because there are SO many physical buttons! Almost everything is controlled with a button rather than through the infotainment screen - just like the old days! The infotainment system itself is ok, and there are also digital dials for the driver, too.
There’s only one engine available for the Land Cruiser - it’s a 2.8-litre 4-cylinder turbo diesel that can produce 204hp and 500Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox.
We don’t know the price of the Land Cruiser yet, but we expect it to cost in the region of £55,000 - £60,000. So is it worth it? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for an almighty petrol vs electric drag race!
We’ve finally got our hands on the all-new, all-electric Lotus Eletre R, and it’s about to face off against Yianni’s Lamborghini Urus Performante!
So let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Lotus, two electric motors power it, and these combine to produce an incredible 905hp and 985Nm of torque! Power is sent to all four wheels, and this almighty EV tips the scales at 2,640kg! It’s pretty pricey though, rolling up with a starting price of £120,000.
But that starting price is nothing compared to the Lambo, which rolls up with a starting price of £209,000! Under the bonnet, you’ll find a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 which can put down 666hp. It’s a fair bit lighter than the Lotus, weighing in at 2,150kg.
So the Lotus is well up on power, but it’s also well up on weight! Will the half-tonne weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

It was only last week that Mat had to wave goodbye to his Audi R8 Spyder long-term daily driver.
But fear not! He’s already swapped it for another Audi - an Audi RS7 Sportback Performance! Mat’s been allowed to spec this car exactly as he wants it, so in this video, he’s going to take you on a walk through exactly what he’s chosen, while also taking you on a drive with this new long-term Sportback!
So for starters, let’s check out the design. Naturally, Mat went for the top-of-the-range Carbon Vorsprung pack, so there’s loads of carbon to be found on the outside, from the badges and side skirts through to the side mirrors and grille. Some of these are additional options that cost a few hundred pounds each, but there’s one option that costs so much more. The Ascari Blue matt finish paint comes in at around £6,000!!
Step inside and the interior is oh-so nice. Even if the design is a few years old now, it still looks really smart. There’s a large infotainment screen in the centre of the dash, coupled with a large digital dial screen. Materials throughout the cabin are really nice, and the new RS7 Performance comes with an Alcantara steering wheel as well. When it comes to options Mat added, he went for the blue stitching throughout the cabin, coupled with blue seatbelts and blue stitching in the sport seats.
When it comes to the engine, it’s powered by a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 that can produce 630hp and 850Nm of torque. It also comes with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and Quattro all-wheel drive.
Naturally, the car isn’t cheap. With all the options added it costs a mind-boggling £143,000! So is it worth it? And more importantly, will Mat prefer it to his Audi R8 Spyder? You’ll need to keep watching to see for yourself!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
Does the new Range Rover Sport SV have what it takes to bring down the Range Rover Sport SVR?
Well, we’re about to find out as they face off over the quarter mile!
So let’s check out the stats. Starting with the new Range Rover Sport SV, it’s powered by a BMW 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8 engine (the same engine from the M5 CS, no less!) that can produce 635hp and 750Nm. It sends this power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 2,500kg. If you want to pick one up today, it’ll cost you around £165,000.
Alongside it, we have the SVR. It’s packing a 5-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet which can produce 575hp and 700Nm. It’s also equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox and four-wheel drive, but it’s a bit lighter than the SV, tipping the scales at 2,310kg. When new, the SVR would set you back around £100,000.
So the new SV has more power, but it’s also heavier! Will the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

New BMW X2 review: Cancel your Macan!

This is the BMW X2!
Mat’s got his hands on the electric edition of this all-new coupe-style SUV from BMW to see if it can match up with class leaders like the Tesla Model Y and Volvo EX30.
So for starters, let’s check out the design. Naturally, the electric edition of the X2 looks the same as the petrol-powered car. There’s a sloping roofline coupled with an extended spoiler around the back, while the side profile is identical to the petrol-powered car. Wheel sizes range from 19 to 21 inches, and around the front this electric edition comes with a blanked-out grille that even lights up at night! We’re also a big fan of the indentation on the bonnet to help make it that little bit more aggressive.
Step inside and the iX2 is a lovely car to sit in. There’s a curved infotainment & digital dial display, with the latter being super customisable. There are soft-touch materials throughout most of the cabin, and the seats are pretty comfortable as well. It’s just a shame that they come with manual adjustment buttons, especially when you consider this car could cost more than £65,000! It’s also a shame that the climate controls are done through the infotainment screen instead of having physical buttons, but they’re still relatively easy to use.
If you’re looking for a petrol-powered X2, there are two versions available. The 20i comes with a 1.5-litre turbo petrol engine that can deliver 170hp and comes with front-wheel drive. Then there’s the M35i, which comes with a 2-litre turbo engine that offers 300hp along with four-wheel drive! If you want to go electric, the entry-level iX2 comes with a single motor and 204hp, while the xDrive 30 has dual motors and can put down 313hp. Both iX2s come with a 65kWh battery pack and a claimed range of around 283 miles.
The entry-level X2 starts at around £42,000, while the cheapest iX2 starts at around £51,000. However, if you go for a range-topper and add a couple of options, you can expect to be spending more than £65,000 on one! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for a drag race you didn’t know you needed… Until today!
We’ve got Mat in an Audi S4, and it’s lining up against a Lamborghini Huracan Evo! Think it’ll be a walkover for the Lambo? Well, all is not as it seems! Let’s take a look at the stats.
The Audi rolls up powered by a 3-litre V6 turbo that can normally produce 350hp and 500Nm of torque. However, the team at Awesome GTI have tuned it, and it now produces 560hp and 840Nm of torque! It’s still equipped with an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at around 1,700kg.
Then we come to the Lambo. It’s powered by a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 640hp and 600Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs in at around 1,500kg.
There’s one key difference between the two though. While the Lambo costs just below £200,000, the Audi S4 only costs £24,000! But can it take down the Huracan? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Mat’s only gone and bought another car, but this time it’s no ordinary car… It’s a 27-foot-long stretch limousine!
You see, Mat’s on a mission to find the best value car in the UK, and he thinks this Lincoln Town Car limousine might be just the car he’s been looking for!
It cost the grand total of only £2,700, and he’s going to put it through a series of challenges to see if it really offers the best value for money. Not only will he be reviewing the style and what it’s like to drive, but he’ll see if it’s possible to live with on a daily basis by driving through town, and of course, visiting a McDonald’s drive-thru.
But don't forget, this is Carwow, so you know he’ll also be putting the 4.6-litre V8 through its paces by launching it to 60mph and taking it for a drift! But will it offer great value for money? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

It’s time for Mat to say goodbye to his Audi R8 Spyder!
He’s been running this drop-top supercar for almost 9 months now, but sadly, the time has come for it to go back to Audi.
The list of daily drivers that Mat has run in the past is absolutely incredible. From a Porsche 911 & BMW M5 CS through to an Audi RS6 & AMG G63, it’s a list of cars that needs no introduction whatsoever. The question is, can the R8 compare with these supreme machines?
Well, in this video, Mat will run through all the good & bads he’s uncovered with this car. From how incredible the glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 is, through to tiny details like the lack of ISOFIX points, he’ll cover everything concerning this supercar!
If you could pick his next daily driver, what would you choose? Let us know in the comments!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
It’s time for an all-American showdown!
We’ve got Mat in the Fisker Ocean, and he’s facing off against the Tesla Model Y Performance! The question is, can this new EV player perform against the class-leading Tesla?
Well, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Fisker, it’s packing dual electric motors which combine to produce 565hp and 740Nm of torque. Naturally, for an electric car, it’s pretty heavy, tipping the scales at 2,434kg, and when it comes to price, it’ll set you back £62,000.
Then we come to the Tesla. Just like the Fisker, it’s equipped with two electric motors. However, in this instance it’s down on power compared to the Ocean, producing 527hp and 660Nm. But while it’s down on power, it’s also down on weight and price, coming in at 1,997kg and £60,000 respectively.
So how do you think this one will play out? Will the more powerful Fisker snatch it? Or will the lighter Tesla cruise to victory? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

New Porsche Cayenne review: It could save you money!
Compare the best new & used car deals with Carwow: https://bit.ly/New-Car-Deals-1903
Say hello to the new Porsche Cayenne!
Porsche’s flagship SUV has had a mid-life facelift, and Mat’s about to see just what’s changed compared to the previous edition, while also seeing if it can compete with market leaders such as the BMW X5.
When it comes to the design, it’s not overly different to the previous generation, given it’s only a mid-life facelift. Around the back, you’ll find a thinner full-length light bar, along with some updated exhaust designs. Alloy wheels now start at 20 inches instead of 19, rising up to 22 inches. But step around the front and this is where the biggest design changes can be found. There’s an all-new bonnet with creases sweeping along the front, along with an all-new bumper and grille, flanked by thinner Matrix LED headlights. All things considered, it looks pretty smart!
Step inside and the traditional Porsche quality is clear to see. There’s leather throughout the cabin (although this car does have the extended leather package added!), and everything feels well-built and sturdy. There’s a fully redesigned centre console, and thankfully Porsche has retained the physical climate control buttons. There’s a fully redesigned digital dial display, and a large infotainment screen which is pretty easy to use. This edition also comes with a third screen for the front seat passenger built into the dash!
There are a load of engine choices available. If you’re keeping it petrol-only, you can pick up the Cayenne S with either a 3-litre V6 with 353hp or a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 with 474hp. If you want a plug-in hybrid, two options come with the 3-litre V6 and an electric motor to deliver 470hp or 519hp. The range-topper is the Cayenne Turbo, which combined the 4-litre V8 with an electric motor to put down 739hp.
There’s only a slight issue though - it’s not cheap! The entry-level Cayenne starts at around £70,000, easily rising to over £100,000 for the range-topper with a couple of options added! So is it worth it? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!
