Picture the scene: it’s Boxing Day, everyone’s a bit hungover, and you’ve already seen all the films BBC2 are showing. Someone suggests you break out the Pictionary, and half an hour later, nobody’s talking to each other. Ever fancied that same experience, but on, say, the M6 just outside Carlisle? Now, thanks to the integration of in-car gaming platform AirConsole into the latest generation of Audis, you can.

Monterey Car Week is something the car community looks forward to every year almost as much as California’s suppliers of straw hats and linen, who get a huge business boost every year as thousands of ultra-wealthy car people descend on the swishy seaside town south of San Francisco. It’s become a big deal for the world’s supercar and luxury manufacturers, who always treat us with a few major reveals there each year.

It may not be the full production car Merc’s various teasers had led us to expect to see, but the Mercedes Concept AMG GT XX gives us a solid idea of what the first standalone series production EV from Affalterbach should look like when it arrives next year. You’ve probably digested the headline numbers by now – three motors, upwards of 1341bhp, 223mph, and much orange.

The latest crop of hypercars haven’t exactly had names to inspire wonderment and awe, have they? F80, W1, T.50… sounds like the sort of things you’d be lining up to buy at Curry’s, not from Ferrari, McLaren and Gordon Murray. Thankfully, you can always rely on a particularly unhinged band of Swedes to inject some much needed theatre into the hypercar world: meet the Koenigsegg Sadair’s Spear. Oh yes.

After a brief absence, Nissan’s Nismo performance brand recently returned to Europe. However, it was on the Ariya Nismo, an electric crossover that hasn’t exactly won the hearts of those with fond memories of saving up for hopped-up, ultra-rare tuned Skylines in Gran Turismo 2. Over in the Middle East, Nismo’s just revealed a new model with a 495bhp, 3.5-litre twin-turbo V6. Sounds a bit more like it, although you may want to temper your expectations: it’s still a gigantic eight-seater SUV.

It’s been nearly two years since the Mazda Iconic SP concept was revealed, and not a day’s gone by where we haven’t been feverishly dreaming about a production version of the gorgeous sports car. Thankfully, it seems increasingly clear that that could be happening, according to Mazda’s chief technical officer Ryuichi Umeshita in an interview with MotorTrend.

Life’s probably pretty good if you happen to be internationally successful model David Gandy. You’re rich, handsome, renowned around the world as a style icon, and now, to top it all off, you’ve got your very own bespoke Mini restomod created with input from one of the world’s greatest car designers. This is the Wood and Pickett Mini by Callum, the very first example of which is this rather fetching brown one that’s been commissioned by noted car nut Gandy.

There’s a time when the announcement of a new MG at the Goodwood Festival of Speed might throw up images of some higher-powered version of the TF or a new ZR in your head. Not really the case these days, with the now Chinese-owned brand now building electric crossovers and the hit-and-miss Cyberster. It’ll be bringing new cars to the FOS this year, and the most intriguing of those from a more mainstream point of view is seemingly a new electric crossover.

Have you actually realised how few front-engined, rear-wheel drive coupes there are left on sale today? If you hadn’t, then don’t go looking: the figures will probably only depress you. Everything from regulatory pressure to slipping sales means very few companies can justify building this sort of car anymore. BMW is still holding out, but even its cheapest car of this ilk, the 220i, starts at a punchy £39,070, and you’ll have to settle for four cylinders and an automatic gearbox.
