As beautiful as it is potent, the Mercedes-AMG SL63 4Matic+ takes the three-pointed star's drop-top GT formula and dials it up a notch or two with 4.0L twin-turbo V8 power, all-wheel drive and 2+2 seating for extra practicality. We were invited on an extensive launch drive program to experience this modern classic.

The BMW M3 Touring has been decades in the making, with those mad hatters at the German brand's M division finally turning their attention to building what could be the world's best station wagon. Does it live up to the hype? We put it to the CarsGuide test to find out.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Bentley Continental GT has become an iconic member of the British brand’s line-up. We take a spin in the latest iteration to see how this luxury grand tourer is ageing.

It sounds like a joke, or an after-market fever dream, and it looks a bit like one, too, but the Lamborghini Huracan Sterrato is actually a thing - the world's first All-terrain Supercar. A V10-powered wild thing designed to be driven sideways, at speed, on dirt. Who doesn't want to get gravel rash on their half-a-million-dollar Lamborghini, eh?

The Porsche 718 Cayman GT4 RS was never meant to happen, but this 'Franken-Cayman' is alive with the beating heart of a 911 GT3 - the howling 4.0-litre flat-six, making 500 horsepower and pushing you to a top speed of 315km/h. There are lots of questions, and we've answered them all for you, but there's one you need to ask yourself: could you live with this beast?

One of the world's most exciting hot-hatches, the Honda Civic Type R has long existed in its own, thrilling orbit. Now, the 2023 (FLS) redesign broadens its horizons with far-more down-to-earth styling, a huge cabin-quality uplift and sustained efficiency improvements, dramatically boosting the Japanese firecracker's appeal. But what about its value, given that the price has rocketed up so much?

Toyota spent decades ignoring the hot hatch market and now it has launched its second entrant in three years. But can the new GR Corolla not only live up to the hype of the GR Yaris but go head-to-head with the likes of the Honda Civic Type R and Volkswagen Golf R?

Think of a Mercedes-AMG and the first words that spring to mind are probably not - understated, efficient and restrained. And yet those are probably the best words to describe the all-new C 43.Of course, before we go any further it’s important to note that the C 43, even in its previous six-cylinder guise, was never meant to be as wild, raucous or powerful as the C63 flagship - that’s simply not its role in the AMG line-up.But even so, this new model is a dive into fresh territory for the brand and puts a very different spin on the AMG sports sedan as we know it.This is a four-cylinder model, complete with a Formula One-derived electric turbocharger, so it lacks the sound and fury you expect from something carrying the ‘AMG’ badge - but that doesn’t mean it’s a bad car, as we’ll explain.

It's Audi's punchiest production car ever, but is it destined to live in the shadow of the Porsche Taycan?

The Honda Civic Type R has long been the front-drive hot hatch that all others are measured by.
