Step inside the German car brand’s new electric flagship

About a month ago, before we were allowed to talk about it, BMW said if we signed lots of expensive-looking paperwork and promised not to leak it all over Twitter, Top Gear could have a look at a new i7 in

The standard version’s grille is heavy on shiny metal

This is the facelifted Audi A8, although the folks in Ingolstadt would prefer if we referred to this midlife update as a 'product improvement.'Anyway, the facelift (whoops) marks four years on sale for this fourth-generation A8. Sales have been strong

Nil to 100kph takes just 3.8sc

AMG describes this EQS 53 4Matic+ as its first-ever battery-electric production model. Merc SLS AMG Electric Drive, anyone? Well, they only made nine of those experimental supercars in the end, and you'll be pleased to know that this EQS

And yes, there’s an AMG-tuned version in the pipeline

The EQS is not quite the first all-electric Mercedes-Benz, but it might be the first one that matters. Because while the EQC and the EQA sit on platforms shared with normal cars and SUVs, and are therefore inherently compromised, the

This could be one of the last purely gasoline-powered cars from the brand

Correct. By 2030, every Bentley on sale will be fully electric. Which makes this Flying Spur V8 one of the last of the old guard, it's safe to assume: A 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 sits up front, driving all

Not just top of the Merc range, but top of its entire class

It's impossible not to think of the previous six generations of Mercedes-Benz S-Class as you approach this seventh iteration. Think of them and pity such piffling technological world firsts as antilock brakes (1978, on the W116) or airbags (1981'

Oldies but goodies

In news entirely unrelated to the glitziness of the new Mercedes-Maybach S-Class's grille, feast your eyes on some old Mercs. Specifically, the first three generations of the S-Class.Yes, Big Benzes from before the W116 have been retroactively

There’s a lot happening here

Usually, the press release for a brand-new car is a few thousand words long. Cars are big, complicated things, so explaining how they work normally requires many pages of many words.But the new Mercedes-Benz S-Class is bigger and

Also, meet the country's first PHEV

BMW Philippines dropped a bombshell tonight when it announced that its facelifted flagship model, the 7-Series, will now come with a price tag starting below P6 million for 2020, and that it is bringing in the country's first plug-in

One of the sharpest-looking sedans in the industry

The Lexus LS is already one of the sharpest-looking sedans in the business, so naturally, the brand would have its work cut out for it refining the vehicle's aesthetic further. The key to achieving this, as it turns out, is

Its evolution is rather interesting

Mercedes-Benz clearly has a psychic wunderkind stationed deep within its Stuttgart walls, because it doesn't build cars-it builds the future.You'll know this because every single S-Class previews technology you'll soon be able to find in

It has clocked in just over 35,000km

These days, even the base-spec Mercedes-Benz S-Class comes crammed full of tech and will set you back around £75,000 (around P4.82 million). Granted, it's a very good car-the best in its class, even-but we

Limited to just 50 cars

In 2016, Rolls-Royce announced the 'Zenith' collection for the Phantom VII as an end-of-the-line special to mark that car's 14-year lifespan. A year later, we saw the Phantom VIII.So, it appears the current Rolls-Royce

To be developed by the same team behind the I-Pace

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has announced it's to build "a range of new electrified vehicles" at its factory in Castle Bromwich, England. The first of them will be a luxury EV-the next XJ. Yep, the era of the supercharged V8

No more V12s in a sedan after this

This, to spell out the bleedingly obvious, is a very expensive, V12-powered, AMG-badged S-Class. And it fulfills the usual AMG S-Class tropes, such as possessing enough power to run a small village and enough torque to pull said

Now with more grille

Possibly the world's most discreet 320kph+ car has had a bit of a facelift, and as a consequence, it has become much less discreet. That's not gone well.Changes to the Alpina B7 mirror those made to the car on

Talk about a facelift

Does BMW now have a separate 'Grille Division' that operates in a different part of the factory? One can only guess. Welcome to the updated BMW 7-Series. And welcome also to the grille bolted to the front of it.We're

Happy birthday!

Jaguar's flagship sedan, the XJ celebrates its 50th birthday this year. The big cat's major evolutionary changes only happened this century, and clinging on to the same basic formula for over three decades has given the XJ this classic, old-

Is it the S-Class of choice?

Do love an S-Class...Don't we all. It's the quintessential big, luxurious sedan. Frequently imitated but never bettered. And last year's facelift made it better still. Mercedes added many new things, chief among them new in-line six-

And it's not officially an M car

Did you glue those V12 badges on? Nope, this thing really does have a V12. One of 6.6-liters, twin-turbochargers and 602hp and 800Nm. Basically the same engine you get in a Rolls-Royce Ghost. It is brilliantly, unarguably and
