Having driven various iterations of Elises and Exiges over the last 25 years or so, there was never any doubt about how wonderfully pure the driving experience was. However, it always seemed to be at the expense of comfort, practicality, convenience, and, crucially, quality. Every time I got into a Lotus, I loved how they drove, but always wished that they were just that bit easier to live with, or had air-conditioning that worked. Also, a few other creature comforts like Apple CarPlay and cup holders, for example, would be nice.

After a solid four years of vouching for that grunty turbocharged four-cylinder in the 718 Cayman, Stuttgart has had a bit of an epiphany and done a U-turn. They've went and plonk in a slightly detuned version of the latest Cayman GT4's 4.0-litre flat-six, and gave life to this - the new Cayman GTS. Wait, didn’t this name previously exist? You see, Porsche already introduced a 'GTS' version of the 982-generation 718 Cayman back in the spring of 2018. It had a 2.5-litre flat-four turbo engine, juiced up to 361bhp. It was fun, sure, but didn’t have the same kind of ferocity as other competitors. This latest one though, launched back in 2020, dumps the flat-4-pot for a 6er, and my god it makes a ton of difference. So, if you were one of the proud owners of the first-gen 982-GTS, well, you might want to make yourself a cup of tea and sit this one out. Because what we have here is so good that you might just find yourself considering a trade-in. Quintessential sportscar essence

Total solar eclipses have long been events rich with stories from oral traditions behind them. From a dragon or snake in the sky eating the Sun to angry quarrelling Gods inflicting damage on each other, the occasion where Sol is fully obscured by Luna leaving a ring of fire visible to those in the umbra is certainly an experience of a lifetime. And so, Rolls-Royce has drawn inspiration from the spectacle, mystery and drama of a total solar eclipse to herald the coming of the equally rare Black Badge Ghost Ekleipsis Private Collection. Limited to just 25 units worldwide, the launch of these highly bespoke vehicles coincided with the annular solar eclipse that was visible in parts of the Western Hemisphere on 14 October.

The Volkswagen Golf is like that dependable friend you've known forever – always there when you need it, and a true crowd-pleaser where it counts. It has the perfect blend of sugar, spice, and everything nice, making it still one of the most desirable hatchbacks on the market today. Now in its eighth incarnation, it's no surprise that this hatchback has a dedicated global fan base. But, due to the ever-fluctuating COE (Certificate of Entitlement), local Golf prices have been thrown a curveball, making it a bit of a tougher sell. The good folks at Volkswagen saw this, and decided to roll out variants that could slide under the more affordable Cat A COE category. We were first introduced to the Golf Life and Life Plus, and now their more attractive sibling has made their way onto the stage. Cue the R-Line. Sneaky Power Play

Seventy years have passed since the Italian Grand Prix on 13 September 1953, where Juan Manuel Fangio celebrated his first and only victory of the season in the final race at Monza, at the wheel of his Maserati A6GCM. The Argentine ace, one of the greatest of all time together with colleagues of the calibre of Senna and Schumacher – Fangio ceded the crown of the most titled Formula 1 driver to the latter after almost 50 years, took the Trident to the Olympus of the brands in the highest class of motorsport in 1954 and 1957, the year of El Chueco’s fifth and final world championship. Seventy years ago, on the Brianza circuit, the curves of the temple of speed lit up for one final race, to wipe away a subdued season for the Argentine world champion, who would go on from that victory to win his second world title the following year.
