Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel review the new Alpine A290 electric hot hatch. Is this the car that proves EVs can be fun to drive? And if not, what do car makers need to do make their electric vehicles as enjoyable as petrol-powered cars? Dan and Andrew also discuss what the election of Donald Trump in the US means for the car industry and Dan reveals his new car.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel consider why the McLaren W1 and Ferrari F80 haven't caused the same excitement among enthusiasts as hypercars from the past. Are we just bored with very low-volume, extremely high-performance machines that few of us will ever get to experience for ourselves? Is there something inherently wrong with this new batch of hypercar? Dan and Andrew also look back at the best hypercars of all time to see how the sector has evolved over the past four decades.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel review the new hybrid BMW M5. With 717bhp it's easily the most powerful M5 yet, but at 2435kg it's the heaviest by a distance too. Has BMW M managed to overcome all that weight to make another great M5? Dan and Andrew also discuss Lando Norris's racing efforts in 2024 and talk to McLaren Automotive materials engineer Ella Podmore.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss perhaps their least favourite Porsche 911 variant, the Turbo. Now in its half-centenary year, the 911 Turbo has long been one of the fastest cars on the road. But among 911s, argue Dan and Andrew, it's also tended to be one of the least engaging to drive. Here's why.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined by Richard Tuthill. When Tuthill unveiled the stunning GT One hypercar at Car Week this summer, this small British Porsche specialist became famous around the world overnight. Richard describes the hype around that car and talks about the equally sensation 911K, his company's background in rallying and racing, plus his own driving career.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel review two of the year's most exciting new cars... and they could hardly be more different. The new Renault 5 EV is one of the best-looking small cars in years, while the Ferrari 12Cilindri is the latest in a long and vaunted line of front-engined Ferrari V12s. But are they everything we hoped for? Dan and Andrew also reflect on another wonderful Sunday Scramble at Bicester Heritage and take a look at the used car marketplace.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel explore the struggles at Jaguar, Maserati and Alfa Romeo. The similarities between the three car makers are striking – all have great racing heritage, all have produced some of the most beautiful performance and luxury cars ever produced, all have enviable brand power and, having all pursued the premium mass market game, each one has suffered dire financial troubles in recent times. So where did they go wrong?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel tell the story of the Mazda MX-5, the world's favourite two-seat roadster. They look at the model's inception in the 1980s, the cars that inspired it and the few that have tried to dethrone it over the years, and analyse the reasons for its success with more than 1.2 million having been built over 35 years. They also explain in detail what an MX-5 is like to drive and how it has, or hasn't, changed over the decades.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel trawl the classifieds for sports car bargains. They look at supercars like the Ferrari 296 GTB and 488 GTB, the Porsche 911 GT3 RS and Aston Martin Vantage, plus more affordable performance cars like the Alpine A110, Jaguar F-Type and VW Golf GTI and one or two left-field choices, to see how much car can be bought at various price points right now. This is the state of the used car market in September 2024.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the new Mercedes-AMG C63 with its controversial hybrid powertrain. Gone is the rumbling V8, in its place a four-cylinder engine with a powerful electric motor that between them generate 670bhp. But the car is also very heavy, very expensive and lacking an appropriate soundtrack for a C63 AMG. They also talk about McLaren's incredible Formula 1 turnaround, Monterey Car Week and more.

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel are joined in the studio by Steve Saxty, who arguably knows more about BMW design than anybody not affiliated with the company. Steve's book, BMW Behind the Scenes, explores the past, present and future of the marque's often beautiful, sometimes baffling designs. Many of its latest efforts, such as the XM SUV, are among the most contentious designs of the modern era. So why did BMW choose to go down such a divisive path and will it continue in the same direction?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss special edition Porsche sports cars, from the 1950s to the present day. Most are derivates of the 911 (including the original 911 S/T and its modern reincarnation, plus Speedsters, GT2s and more), though there are plenty of front- and mid-engined cars in here as well. But which ones rank among our favourites, and which ones did we simply not like at all?

Dan Prosser and Andrew Frankel discuss the extraordinary Belgian Grand Prix at Spa, won on the road by George Russell who was later disqualified for having an underweight car. They also look back at the first half of the season, which looked likely to be another Max Verstappen stat-padding year before rivals McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes caught up with the Red Bull powerhouse. With 10 Grands Prix still to come, the 2024 season now looks like being a vintage one.
