    What you’re looking at is an old Land Rover Defender. That much should be obvious. Of course, it’s no ordinary old Land Rover Defender – it’s the latest in Landie’s series of Classic Defender V8s, essentially factory-fresh restomods powered by a gigantic, rumbly V8 motor. This one, as you’ve doubtless spotted, is a bit different to all those other ones, because it’s got a fabric roof.

    We’re not entirely sure what the traditional pickup truck buyer in the UK would make of one delivering upwards of 402bhp from a hybrid system anchored around a tiny 1.5-litre petrol engine, but that’s just what we’ve got here in the shape of the new Nissan Frontier Pro.

    It can sometimes be a bit confusing to try and wrap your head around the Chinese car industry from the perspective of someone used to the way things are done in Europe.

    The MG Cyberster is a curious thing. One of the first attempts at an electric sports car at the slightly less silly end of the price spectrum, it’s certainly got the looks and the performance, but as we found when we drove it, it’s a little rough around the edges in places. Some of that stems from a lack of refinement from its soft-top roof, so perhaps a coupe version might help – and that’s exactly what’s just been confirmed for production by MG’s parent company, SAIC, at the Shanghai Auto Show.

    Usually, when a celebrity tagline is added to the listing of a car, it’s not of much interest to us. After all, who really cares if a B-list musician or actor has been planting their behind in the seat of a car that, in reality, is rarely any more special than every other version on the market? When you throw an F1 world champion into the equation, though, we’ll be considerably more keen to hear it out. As is the case with this 2009 Nissan GT-R.

It me! Lovely to don lycra and tag along with team Ford again for @RideLondon 100 this year. Two weeks on and I've just about recovered...

Sometimes 2 wheels are better than 4. Another year as title partner of @RideLondon, and we couldn’t be prouder. Thank you to everyone who came out and rode, cheered or volunteered 👏 https://t.co/Cxo3AJnd0K
