F150 Raptor R 6x6 ULTIMATE REVIEW!
Mat’s got his hands on the all-new almighty Hennessy Velociraptor 6x6… And he’s about to find out what it’s like to live with as a daily driver!
He’s going to start off with a standard review of the car, and then he’s going to take it out on the road to find out what this car is like to live with over in the States!
So let’s take a closer look at this mega machine. On the outside, there’s no denying it’s superimposing, being both 7-foot tall and 7-foot wide! Up front, it’s sporting a huge steel push bar bumper and a light kit, while it’s also coated in Raptor R badges across the bonnet and side. That’s no surprise, of course, given this pick-up is basically based on the F150 Raptor R. But of course, there’s one exception - the load bed has been extended, and it’s now sporting six tyres!
Step inside and the fact that this pick-up is effectively an extended Raptor R is clear to see, given the interior is pretty much exactly the same! This means it comes with a sports steering wheel, red stitching across the cabin, along with paddle shifters and Recaro sport seats. It’s also been fitted with the carbon fibre trim, so you’ll find a smattering of that throughout the interior.
Under the bonnet you’ll find the same engine as in that Raptor R, which means you’ll be treated to a glorious 5.2-litre supercharged V8 that can produce 710hp and 840Nm of torque. Don’t expect it to hit the same 0-60mph & 1/4-mile time of the standard Raptor R, mind, given it tips the scales at 3,500kg!
But it’s not just packing a hefty weight, it comes with an equally large price tag, too, costing $450,000!! So is it worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Why I'm buying a Cybertruck!
The time has come for Mat to review the most unique vehicle in the world - the Tesla Cybertruck!
But is it all style over substance? Or does the Cybertruck stand up as a fully-fledged pick-up that can compete with all-electric competitors like the Rivian R1T & Ford F-150 Lightning?
Well, let’s find out by taking a closer look! When it comes to the exterior design, there’s no denying the Cybertruck is one of the most eye-catching vehicles in the world! Sure some people complain about gaps in the body panels and the straight edges, but there’s no denying it looks like it’s time-travelled back from the future. The stainless steel panels make it super tough, and the full-length light bars at the front and back only help to make it stand out further.
Step inside and the interior is classic Tesla. Bar some buttons on the steering wheel everything is controlled through the huge infotainment screen on the dash. This can be annoying at times, but there’s no denying this screen is super slick and very responsive. Otherwise, the build quality is pretty solid, with soft-touch materials throughout most of the cabin. There’s even a small infotainment screen in the back, too!
When it comes to performance, there are three editions of the Cybertruck you can buy. A single motor, dual motor, and tai-motor ‘Cyberbeast’ edition! The latter edition can produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque, and all this costs just $96,000! But of course, this edition is also super heavy, tipping the scales at 3,084kg!
So what do you think - have you learnt to love the looks? Or is it just too much? Let us know in the comments!

New Range Rover Velar review: Better than the Germans?
Meet the new Range Rover Velar!
It’s a step down from the full-blown Range Rover, and Mat’s about to find out if it’s worth the £54,000 starting price.
When it comes to the design, there are several updates over the previous edition. Around the back, the Land Rover badge has been replaced by big Range Rover lettering across the back. There are also new 3D effect taillights, as well as an updated bumper. Along the side, you’ll find a choice of new alloy designs, and on this car we have the 2-tone effect design thanks to the black roof. Up top, there are a couple of new design elements, including new headlights, a new grille, and an updated bumper.
Step inside, and there’s been a big change with the centre console. Gone is the second screen and physical climate control buttons - they’ve all been removed and that functionality added to the infotainment system. In their place… Is nothing! All you’ll find is a large gear selector surrounded by silver plastic.
When it comes to the actual infotainment screen, it’s been updated, but it’s not the most intuitive system. There are buttons on the steering wheel to manage the digital dials, but the menu can be a bit convoluted. Thankfully though the general design of the interior is nice, with lots of soft-touch materials throughout.
When it comes to engines, there are a couple to choose from. If you want a diesel you can choose either a 2-litre turbo or a 3-litre with 200hp or 300hp respectively, and if you just want petrol there’s a 2-litre turbo or a 3-litre six-cylinder with 250hp and 400hp. All these cars come with an 8-speed automatic and four-wheel drive.
There’s also a hybrid available, which comes with a 2-litre turbo petrol and an electric motor that can put down 400hp.
So what do you think, is it worth the £54,000 price tag? Especially when you consider this can rise to almost £80,000 for the top-of-the-range model?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Tesla Cybertruck v F-150 Raptor R: DRAG RACE
Pick-up truck fans let’s goooooo!!
The Cybertruck is back once again, and it’s going head-to-head against one of the most powerful pick-ups money can buy - the Ford F-150 Raptor R!
So let’s check out how these two almighty machines compare. Starting with the Tesla, we’ve got our hands on the ‘Cyberbeast’ tri-motor edition, which can produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and if you’re looking to pick one up it’ll cost you around $96,000. It’s also pretty damn heavy, tipping the scales at 3,084kg!!
Then alongside it we have the F-150. This Raptor R edition comes with a huge 5.2-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that can put down 700hp and 870Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and this truck also comes in lighter than the Cybertruck, weighing in at 2,703kg. However, while it may be lighter, it comes with a heftier price tag, costing around $109,000!
So will it be yet another win for the Cybertruck? Or could the all-American F-150 snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Tesla Cybertruck v Lamborghini Urus: DRAG RACE
Welcome to the ULTIMATE petrol vs electric drag race!
We’ve got our hands on the all-new Tesla Cybertruck, and it’s lining up alongside the a Lamborghini Urus! But which will come out on top - petrol, or electric?
Well, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Cybertruck, it rolls up equipped with three electric motors, and they combine to produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque. The starting price of the dual-motor edition is around $49,000, but for this tri-motor Cyberbeast edition, it’ll cost you around $96,000! In terms of weight, the Cybertruck tips the scales at just over 3 tonnes. It also has a top speed of 130mph.
Then we have the Lambo. It’s packing a 4-litre twin-turbo V8 under the bonnet, and this can produce 650hp and 850Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed torque converter gearbox, and it’s a whole lot lighter than the Tesla, tipping the scales at 2,200kg. It also has a much bigger top speed, coming in at 190mph.
So the Cybertruck has the Urus beat when it comes to performance stats, but will the extra weight drag it down? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Dodge Viper v Porsche 911 Turbo: DRAG RACE
Thanks to everyone for helping to set up this race:
- Dodge Viper: @PetersenMuseum
- Porsche 911 930: https://www.instagram.com/eros.plater...
It’s time for a classic car showdown!
We’ve got our hands on the Porsche 911 Turbo 930, and it’s going up against a Dodge Viper from 1992!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Porsche, it’s powered by a 3.3-litre flat-six air-cooled engine that can produce 300hp and 430Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear-wheels only, and it tips the scales at 1,310kg.
Then alongside it we have the Viper. It’s powered by an 8-litre V10 that can produce 400hp and 630Nm, with this power sent to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. It may have more power than the Viper, but it’s also heavier, weighing in at 1,490kg.
So will the newer, more powerful Viper snatch it? Or will the extra weight prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Tesla Cybertruck DRAG RACE
Mat has returned to the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin Texas, and he’s got his hands on the all-new Cybertruck! So of course, you know what that means… It’s drag race time!
Naturally, there was only one competitor that we had to compare this all-electric pick-up to - the Hummer EV! The question is, which will come out on top?
Well, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Cybertruck, it rolls up equipped with three electric motors, and they combine to produce 845hp and 930Nm of torque. The starting price of the dual-motor edition is around $49,000, but for this tri-motor Cyberbeast edition, it’ll cost you around $96,000! In terms of weight, the Cybertruck tips the scales at just over 3 tonnes.
Think that’s heavy? Well, that’s nothing compared to the Hummer, which comes in at 4,110kg!! Just like the Tesla, the Hummer is equipped with three motors, but it’s also up on power, producing 1,014hp and 1,485Nm! The price is also slightly higher than the Cybertruck, coming in at around £109,000.
So how will this one play out? Will the extra tonne of weight prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

My Cybertruck Experience!
’s been four years since the Cybertruck was revealed… And the time has finally come for Mat to see it in the flesh!
He’s flown over to the Tesla Gigafactory in Austin, Texas to see the very first Cybertrucks roll off the production line before they’re handed over to customers, and he’s about to see if the most anticipated car in the world really lives up to the hype!
Naturally, an event such as this is no small celebration! The Gigafactory site is littered in Cybertrucks, and Mat will have a chance to walk through the factory to take a look under the skin and find out just how impressive it is. Not only that, he’ll get a chance to sit inside the Cybertruck to take a closer look at the build quality, while also asking other attendees what they make of this ultra-impressive pick-up!
…Oh, and a certain someone called Elon will be in attendance, too.
So what do you think - will the Cybertruck live up to the hype?! And will Mat be so impressed that he actually puts a deposit down?! You’ll need to stick with him for this factory walkaround to see for yourself!

New Audi SQ8 review: Better Than EVER?!
Meet the new Audi SQ8 e-tron!
It was previously known as just the Audi e-tron, but Audi has rebranded its largest electric SUV to now call it the Audi Q8 e-tron! The question is, although the name has evolved, has much else changed?
Well when it comes to the design… It all looks pretty much the same! There are no notable differences around the back, while along the side it all pretty much mirrors the original e-tron, bar some new alloy designs. Up top it’s a little different, with an all-new grille slapped across the front. But otherwise, it looks almost identical! Audi say that the headlight design has evolved, but to be honest, we think they look pretty much the same.
Step inside and it’s more of the same story! Bar some new trims, it’s all pretty much identical to the last car. That’s not necessarily a bad thing, mind. The SQ8 we have here comes equipped with super comfortable sports seats, and you’ll find soft touch, high quality materials throughout the entire cabin. Annoyingly though, a lot of functions are controlled through a touch screen, so they’re hard to work while driving.
There are three editions of the Q8 e-tron to buy. The entry-level is the 50, which comes with two motors that can produce 340hp along with an 89kWh battery pack. The top-of-the-range cars is the SQ8 we have here. It’s packing three electric motors that combine to put down 503hp. It’s also equipped with a 106kWh battery.
All-in-all, not much has changed compared to the previous car. So the question is, is it really worth the £69,000 starting price? And should you really splash out £97,000 for this SQ8 edition?! You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Should these 11 car trends DIE?
One thing you can guarantee in 2024 is that there will be loads of new car releases!
However, while we love to get our hands on a new car, we can’t help but feel that new cars are coming with a whole load of trends - and they’re not always good trends!
With this in mind, we’ve put together a list of XXX current car trends which must be stopped!
For example, take electric cars. We know they all need to charging, but why do the charging port covers have to be so BIG! With some of these cars the covers look like they’re a wing that’s been attached to the side!
Or take the decreasing size of digital dials. Why are manufacturers looking to put so much info into the infotainment screen rather than having a big, easy to read dial screen? Or in the worst cases (we’re looking at you, Tesla…) why are they removing the dial screen completely?!
So what do you think - do you agree with our list? Or have we missed something? Let us know in the comments!

Business-class Mercedes review!
hanks to Clive Sutton for lending us this VIP Class!
- https://www.clivesutton.co.uk/
- https://bit.ly/Mercedes-VIP-Class-Lis...
Say hello to the most luxurious Mercedes V-Class in the WORLD!
Meet the Mercedes VIP Class! It’s been lent to us by Clive Sutton, and Mat’s about to show you around this super luxurious van to find out just what makes it so special.
Step into the back and you’ll find five seats, two of which are super comfortable business-style airplane seats that come covered in diamond quilted leather - the same leather as you’ll find in a Bentley, no less! What’s more, you can choose from 7 different colours of leather, 8 different types of Alcantara, and a choose of 24 different wood veneers for the interior! You’ll also find a find a starlight headliner just like in a Rolls-Royce!
The VIP Class comes with a built-in iPad which is used to control almost everything. You can use it to open the doors and move the seats around. But that’s not all, you can use it to reveal a huge flat-screen TV (with a PlayStation 5 built in!) as well as an actual bar!
The VIP Class is built from a 300d V-Class. This means it comes with the ability to produce 240hp and 500Nm of torque. But of course, having originated as a V-Class it means whoever is in the drivers seat will be greeted the same usual Mercedes infotainment screen and dial layout. But let’s be honest, if you’re the owner of the VIP class, chances are it’s only your chauffeur who will be sat in the front!
The question is, do you think it’s worth the six-figure price tag? You’ll have to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Bugatti Chiron SS v 1,800hp Lambo Huracan: DRAG RACE
Thanks to everyone for helping to put this drag race together:
- Bugatti: https://www.instagram.com/TheLeeColle...
- Lambo: https://www.instagram.com/jm_imports_uk/
- WRX: https://www.instagram.com/42bennett
The Chiron Super Sport is BACK, and it’s facing off against two mighty competitors!
Over on the far side of the track we’ve brought back the crazy twin-turbo Lambo Huracan, and between the two we’ve got an all-electric WRX rally car!
Why? Well, because we can - that’s why!
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the Bugatti, it’s powered by an incredible 8-litre quad-turbo W16 that pumps out 1,600hp and 1,600Nm of torque. It sends power to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,995kg. There have only been 30 ever built, so as a result, it’s pretty expensive, costing around £4,000,000!!
Next up we have the Lambo, and it’s had a whole load of work done to it, including a fully built engine and gearbox! As a result, the 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 can produce 1,800hp (although today it’ll be running at 1,600hp) and 1,500Nm! What’s more, it’s a whole lot lighter than the Bugatti, weighing just 1,650kg!
And then finally we have the WRX rally car! It’s only powered by a 2-litre 4 cylinder turbo engine, but it still puts down an incredible 600hp and 1,000Nm! What’s more, it’s easily the lightest car here, tipping the scales at just 1,300kg!
So will the Bugatti destroy the competition? Or could the rally car or Lambo snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

VW Touareg review: A budget Bentley?
Meet the new VW Touareg!
The Touareg is the largest Volkswagen SUV you can buy, and it’s just had a mid-life facelift! But how much has actually changed? Well, Mat’s got his hands on one to find out…
Starting with the design, it still looks pretty similar to the last edition, although there are a few notable differences. Starting at the rear, the Touareg now comes with a full-length light bar and a redesigned bumper. Along the side, there are some new alloy wheel designs, and all new editions of the Touareg come with black roof bars. You’ll find a redesigned grille, an updated bumper, and some new headlight designs. What’s more, these now come as Matrix LEDs!
Step inside and the design is pretty similar to the last edition, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing! There are soft-touch materials throughout the large cabin, and all cars now come with a large infotainment screen that also has some updated graphics. The car we have here also has a nice, large digital dial display which is very easy to read.
There are a number of engines available with the Touareg. You can get a 3-litre V6 turbo petrol that has 340hp, and then there are two hybrid models. They use the same 3-litre V6, and while one produces 380hp, the other produces 460hp - the latter car is the high-performance R model, no less! There is also a choice of two diesel engines available, both of which are 3-litre V6 turbo diesel.
The all-new Touareg starts from around £68,000, but is it worth it?! Or should you choose a competitor like the BMW X5 instead? You’ll need to stick with Mat to see for yourself!

Thanks to everyone for helping to put together this video:

- Wagovan: https://www.instagram.com/bisimoto
How’s this for a drag race line-up! Mat’s got his hands on the Audi RS5, and it’s lining up against… A Honda Civic Wagovan?!
That’s right, we’ve got an Audi RS facing off against a Honda Civic wagon! But trust us, this is no normal Honda Civic…
So let’s see how the two cars compare. Starting with the Audi RS5, it’s powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V6 that can produce 450hp and 600Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 1,707kg. If you want to pick one up now, it will set you back around £76,000.
Then we come on to the Civic. The base car came with a 2.4-litre engine under the bonnet. But of course, it’s had a number of mods added to it, and it now puts out an eye-watering 834hp and 817Nm of torque! Power is sent to all four wheels via a sequential gearbox, and it’s super light, weighing in at just 1,100kg!
So the Honda has way more power, but is it any match for Audi’s Quattro AWD system? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Ferrari F40 v Bugatti EB110: DRAG RACE
Thanks to everyone for helping to set up this drag race:
- Bugatti EB110: @PetersenMuseum
- Ferrari F40: https://www.instagram.com/caretakersc...
THIS IS A DRAG RACE FOR THE AGES!
We’ve got the legendary Bugatti EB110, and it’s about to go head-to-head against the classic Ferrari F40!
So let’s see how these two legends compare. Starting with the Bugatti, it was originally released in 1994, and it’s powered by a 3.5-litre quad-turbo V12 that can produce 560hp and 610Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox, and it tips the scales at 1,690kg. When it was first released it cost £285,000, but if you’re looking to pick one up now you can expect to spend a cool £1,500,000!
The we have the Ferrari F40. It was first released in 1991, and it’s powered by a 2.9-litre twin-turbo V8 that can put down 480hp and 580Nm. All of this power is sent to the rear wheels only via a 5-speed manual, but it’s oh-so light, weighing in at just 1,350kg! It was originally cheaper than the Bugatti, at £163,000, but if you’re looking to buy one today it’ll set you back at least £2,000,000!
So the Ferrari is down on power, and it’s only rear-wheel drive, so could the weight difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Lamborghini's new Twin-Turbo Ferrari Killer!
The Lamborghini Huracan is no more, and we’ve got our hands on exclusive footage of what we think the successor will look like!
The carwow team of experts have spent hours looking over spy pictures of the upcoming replacement to the Huracan, and this is what they think it will look like!
So what exactly has changed with this new car? Well starting at the front, it looks unlike any recent Lambo! It comes with super thin headlights, coupled with hexagonal daytime running lights that remind us of a classic rally car’s lights!
Along the side the shape is pretty similar to the current Huracan, while at the back the car seriously reminds us of the all-new Revuelto! And we’ll be honest, we think it looks absolutely great!
However, the design isn’t the only thing that’s going to change. We expect the glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 to be replaced, and swapped with a 4-litre twin-turbo V8! Not only that, but it’ll also become a plug-in hybrid! That may be bad news for you purists, but hybrid technology has one big advantage - it’ll push the power output above 800hp!!
So what do you think of our render - have we got it right? Let us know in the COMMENTS!

Thanks to https://www.helical-technology.com/ for lending us their 911!
What will happen when an Audi R8 V10 Performance Spyder takes on a Porsche 911 Carrera 4S that’s been tuned? Well, we’re about to find out!
So let’s see how the two compare. Starting with the Audi, it’s powered by a glorious 5.2-litre naturally-aspirated V10 that can produce 620hp and 580Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, and the car weighs in at 1,695kg.
Then alongside it, we have the Porsche. It’s packing a 3-litre twin-turbo flat-six, but it’s had a stage two tune applied. As a result, it now pumps out 600hp and 651Nm of torque. This power is sent to all four wheels, and it tips the scales at 1,555kg.
So the Porsche may be lighter than the Audi, but it’s also down on power! Will the 20hp difference prove decisive? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

It’s time for an almighty America vs Germany drag race!
We’ve got Mat lining up in the most powerful Dodge Challenger you can buy - the Dodge Challenger Super Stock. Alongside him, we have the BMW M3 Touring and… The Smart #1 BRABUS?!
It’s an interesting lineup, but let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the Dodge, it’s powered by an almighty 6.2-litre supercharged V8 that can produce 820hp and 960Nm of torque. Power is sent to the rear wheels only via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, weighing in at 2,014kg.
On the other side of the line-up, we have the BMW M3 Touring. It’s packing a 3-litre turbocharged straight-six under the bonnet that can put down 510hp and 650Nm. Although it can send power to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, in this instance it’ll be running in rear-wheel drive mode. It’s also the lightest car here, coming in at 1,865kg.
Then in the middle, we have the Smart car. But of course, this is no normal Smart car - it’s the Smart #1 BRABUS! This little pocket rocket comes with two electric motors, which combine to put down 428hp and 584Nm. It weighs in at around 1,900kg, and it runs in four-wheel drive only.
So you’d expect the Smart to shoot off the line given it’s electric, but can it hang on to snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

This is what you call a spicy petrol vs electric drag race!
We’ve got Mat in the crazy fast Tesla Model S Plaid, and he’s facing off against a Porsche 911 Turbo S & a BMW M5 Competition. The thing is, these aren’t your everyday 911 Turbo & M5 - they’ve both been tuned and now deliver 1,000hp each!
So how will this one play out? Well for starters, let’s check out the stats. Starting with the Tesla Model S Plaid, it’s powered by three electric motors which combine to deliver 1,020hp and 1,420Nm of torque. Naturally though, being electric it’s pretty heavy, weighing in at 2,200k.
Alongside it, we have the Porsche. It rolls up with the stock engine, which means there’s a 3.8-litre twin-turbo flat-six slung over the rear axle. However, it’s had several mods done to it, including new intakes, a titanium exhaust system as well and a custom ECU remap. As a result, it delivers 1,011hp and 1,000Nm! It’s also pretty light, coming in at just 1,650kg!
Then finally we have the BMW. It’s equipped with a 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8, but of course, it’s been tuned. As a result, it now puts down 1,00hp and 1,100Nm! It also tips the scales as heavier than the 911, coming in at 1,850kg.
So will it be a victory for electric? Or could ICE power snatch the win? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

- Mk3 NC: https://www.instagram.com/bbr.gti
Just how much extra power does adding a supercharger (and a few other mods…) to your MX-5 give you? Well, we’re about to find out!
Mat’s brought his Mk2 NB MX-5 along, and it’s about to face off against a stock Mk2 & a supercharged Mk3 over the quarter-mile!
So let’s see how the three compare. Starting with the stock Mk2, it’s powered by a 1.8-litre 4-cylinder NA engine that can deliver 146hp and 168Nm of torque. It’s equipped with a 5-speed manual gearbox, and this sends power to the rear wheels only.
Alongside it we have Mat in his Mk2 NB. Normally it would have the same naturally-aspirated engine as the stock Mk2, however, he’s had a couple of mods added to the car, including a supercharger! As a result, power is well up on the car alongside it, with the ability to put down around 190hp.
Then finally we have the Mk3 NC. As with the other cars, it would normally have a 1.8-litre 4 cylinder NA engine under the bonnet, but it’s also been equipped with a supercharger. As a result, it can deliver 248hp and 289Nm! It’s equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels, and it’s also the heaviest car here, tipping the scales at 1,100kg.
So will the most powerful Mk3 snatch it? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Cullinan v Range Rover v Maybach v Bentayga v Escalade: ULTIMATE luxury SUV!

When it comes to luxurious SUVs, it doesn’t get much better than these five contenders.
Representing Britain we’ve got the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, the Range Range and the Bentley Bentayga. From Germany we’ve got the Mercedes-Maybach GLS, and from the USA we’ve got the Cadillac Escalade.
But what’s most important to you? If the exterior design is most important to you, then get ready for huge imposing grilles, smatterings of chrome across the place, and exclusive alloy designs.
If the interior is more your bag, any of these cars may be most suitable from you. From leather-lined ceilings to swathes of wood coupled with soft touch materials throughout the cabin, then any of these cars will work for you.
But of course, that just covers the front seats, and it’s highly likely that if you’re picking one of these cars, they may be chauffeur driven, and that’s when the back seats come into play! With thick carpets, quilted stitching on the seats and even fridges built into the central armrest, these five cars are the undisputed winners when it comes back seat luxury.
One area where these engines may not exceed are the engines and performance, mainly because they all weigh well in excess of two tonnes. But that’s not to say the engines aren’t large! The smallest we have here is a V8, rising all the way up to the Cullinan’s 6.75-litre V12. But then again, if you’re in the market for one of these cars, surely luxury is more important than speed, right?
So which of these luxury SUVs will come out on top. Will the Rolls-Royce snatch it? Or will the Escalade surprise everyone and take the top spot? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

This is the all-new Volvo EX30!
It’s an all-new small electric SUV from the Swedish manufacturers, and we think it may be one of its best releases in year! But what makes it so impressive?
Well for starters, let’s take a look at the design. Being an all-electric car, there’s no grille up front, but the design still reminds us of Volvos from the past. Along the side you’ll find a sloping roofline along with bespoke alloy wheel designs that are able to help improve efficiency. And then around the rear there are some well-designed taillights that really help give the car a bit of personality.
Step inside and the EX30 is really well designed. Nearly all functionality is housed in the central infotainment screen, which although can be annoying at times, has been done to help keep all wiring in one place to help improve costs. There are soft touch materials throughout most of the car, and the seats are super comfortable.
When it comes to performance, there are a couple of editions of the EX30 available. The entry-level car has a 49kWh battery pack and comes with a claimed range of 210 miles. There’s then a larger battery edition with two electric motors, with the range topper being the Performance model, which has a range of around 290 miles.
And it’s not just the range of the Performance model that we’re interested in. The two motors combine to produce 28hp and 543Nm of torque! This makes it one of the most powerful Volvos ever produced!
So this mini Volvo packs a serious punch, and the price starts at just £34,000, rising to only £44,000 for the top-of-the-range edition! Does this therefore make it one of the best Volvos ever? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

What a LINE-UP!
The Red Bull F1 car is back, and it’s facing off against two incredible road-going hypercars - the Porsche 918 Spyder and a Bugatti Veyron!
So let’s see how these three incredible cars compare. Starting with the 918 Spyder, it’s powered by a 4.6-litre naturally-aspirated V8 coupled with two electric motors. Combined, they can produce 887hp and 1,280Nm of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed automatic gearbox, and the car tips the scales at 1,674kg.
Then we have the Veyron. It’s equipped with an incredible 8-litre quad-turbo W16 engine, and this can put down 1,001hp and 1,250Nm! Power is sent to all four wheels via a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,888kg.
Then finally we have the F1 car, driven by Red Bull’s reserve driver, Liam Lawson. He’s driving Sebastian Vettel’s Championship-winning RB8, which is equipped with a 2.4-litre V8 that can produce 800hp. It’s easily the lightest car here, at around 700kg, and all power is sent to the rear wheels only.
So will the F1 car sweep these hypercars to the side? There’s only one way to find out for sure… LET’S RACE!

Is this car a Porsche 911 killer?
Say hello to the lightest electric car in the world!
Meet the Project V. This all-electric concept has been unveiled by Caterham, a name that is synonymous with lightweight kit cars.
But fear not! Despite the British manufacturer now taking the step towards electric, it still remains true to its roots.
You see, while the Project V may be a hardtop sports car, this is set to be one of the lightest cars on the market, weighing less than 1,200kg!
So let’s take a closer look at Project V. When it comes to the design. Up front, there are several large vents including a grille, while there’s also a single windscreen wiper that reminds us of the McLaren P1! Take a look around the rear and it looks really sleek, with a simple design that looks both modern and retro.
Think the exterior doesn’t seem traditionally Caterham? Well, wait until you step inside! You’ll find comfortable seats, soft-touch materials throughout, and a super cool dual-dial digital driver display. In the centre of the dashboard, there’s an infotainment screen, but thankfully all controls for the car are managed with physical buttons. The shape of the car even allows space for a single seat in the back!
When it comes to performance, Caterham is clearly focusing on weight rather than significant performance figures. As a result, the single electric motor is expected to produce 270hp, and it’s likely to hit 60mph in around 4.5 seconds.
So what do you think - could Project V be a game-changer when it’s released in 2026? Let us know in the COMMENTS!
