    As if building possibly the most rewarding, intense and fastidiously engineered road car in existence wasn't enough, Gordon Murray Group is expanding its operations to build a series of highly bespoke supercars for a select few customers under the GMSV (Gordon Murray Special Vehicles) banner. These new models will be built with the same engineering approach as existing GMA models, but with unique designs and specifications developed in close collaboration with their owners.

    It’s finally happening. Almost a decade since the Mk7 Golf GTI Clubsport S took our breath away – and second place at eCoty 2016 – Volkswagen is building another track-focused GTI to take on the hot hatch big leagues.

    The Lotus Emira is a car that promised much, but so far hasn’t quite met our lofty expectations for the first brand new Lotus sports car in years. All the ingredients are there – mini supercar looks, an aluminium chassis, the choice of a ripping AMG four-pot or a V6 with a manual – but the dynamics don’t take your breath away as they should in a Lotus. That could be about to change, however, with the introduction of an updated Emira range with key technical improvements.

    On the surface, everything is about right. The new electric Mini JCW has the kind of pert, compact stance, short overhangs and racy addenda that scream hot hatch. Even sitting still, it looks like it’ll be a riot. Then you read the spec sheet and that excitement turns into dread, because this JCW is hiding an embarrassing secret: it weighs 1650kg. Yes, you read that right.
