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!

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?
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
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!

New Ferrari V12 - full details!
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
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!

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!

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!

300hp SUVs: MINI v BMW v VW v Audi DRAG RACE
Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
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!

Sell your car for free with Carwow: https://bit.ly/Sell-Your-Car-For-Free...
3 Series drag race let’s goooo!
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!

900hp Lotus Eletre R v Lambo Urus: DRAG RACE
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!
