Shed of the Week | Peugeot 407 V6 Coupe

1 day ago | pistonheads.com | Tony Middlehurst

Time to stoke up the fires of righteous indignation once more as we bring you this Peugeot 407 Coupe, a car almost guaranteed to generate high levels of frothing among the forum faithful. Shed brought us one of these 3.0 manual petrol 407s in early 2023, just after the SOTW limit had been controversially raised from £1,500 to £2,000. That ’23 shed was a 98,000-mile GT from 2006.
VW Golf GTI Mk2 | PH Auction Block

4 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

It’s June already, which means the big endurance events on the European calendar - Le Mans, Spa 24 and N24 - aren’t far away for 2025. The latter should be especially interesting this year, as VW will use the Nurburgring epic to reveal a special edition Golf GTI to the world.
New Opel Mokka GSe looks production-ready

4 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

Opel certainly couldn’t be accused of any half-measures when it comes to promoting its new GSe performance sub-brand. We’ve had the teaser campaign, the ready-to-race rally car, the intimation that a fun concept could return… as launch initiatives go, it has garnered some attention.
2025 BMW 230i (G42) | UK Review

4 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

On PistonHeads, the M2 is inevitably the focus of the 2 Series range. It’s the quickest and pointiest offering, of course, but also the only 2 Series with a manual gearbox option, the basis for the special editions, and the entry point in 2025 to full-fat M car ownership. That entry point is further away than anyone would like it to be, but still - even if the junior M car isn’t so junior anymore, it’s always going to get a lot of attention on PH.
New McLaren 750S Le Mans celebrates '95 victory

5 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

There was no way that the 30th anniversary of a McLaren F1 winning the Le Mans 24 Hours was going to go unmarked. It was simply too momentous a victory, the road car that was never really meant to race claiming the greatest win of all, to not be commemorated at every occasion. Especially now, almost exactly three decades on from June 18th, 1995. There have been McLaren Le Mans Editions before, like the 650S; now the 750S gets the LM overhaul.
Renaultsport Megane R26 | Spotted

5 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

It’s now been more than 20 years since the Renaultsport badge and expertise was first applied to a Megane. Revealed in September 2004, the 225hp Megane hit the road in 2005, just like the Mk5 Golf GTI. But where that car demonstrated that VW had its hot hatch mojo back, the first Renaultsport Megane never quite hit the mark. Despite years of brilliant Clios, the Renaultsport special sauce seemingly hadn’t been applied quite liberally enough to the larger hatch.
Bentley launches new 650hp Bentayga Speed

5 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

It can be hard to keep track of the Bentayga range, what with Azures and Atelier Editions and a Black Edition for the S. But with the car as popular as it is, Bentley will understandably want to take full advantage. Now the sporting flagship of the range has returned, a new 650hp Speed promising ‘the most dynamic chassis set-up ever offered on a Bentayga’.
Check out the Lego Technic Aston Valkyrie

5 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

We like Lego Technic on PH, as a 473-page forum thread (and counting!) plus favourable reaction to recent kits like the Peugeot 9X8 and Ferrari SP3 Daytona can attest to. We’d expect this one to absolutely hit the spot as well: a Lego Technic Valkyrie. Aston Martin’s most extreme creation ever can now be brick built by Lego enthusiasts, the latest Technic box comprising 700 pieces to recreate the 1,140hp V12 hypercar.
Audi R8 V10 Plus Performance Parts | Spotted

6 days ago | pistonheads.com | Matt Bird

It’s always nice when Audi goes a little bit barmy with a limited edition model. It’s been on a rich run of form recently, in fact, creating cars like the RS6 GT and RS4 Competition. While the company could easily have just fitted the nice wheels and (in the case of the RS6) the incredible livery then left them alone, they went the extra mile. Changes to the suspension most notably meant both were properly memorable special editions, rather than just limited-run cosmetic exercises.
Dacia Spring | PH Fleet

6 days ago | pistonheads.com | Tony Middlehurst

Right, it’s time for part two of our running report on the Dacia Spring Extreme 65, still the cheapest and, at 951kg, the lightest electric vehicle on the UK market. Despite using it exclusively for darting between Powys townships, and despite owning three other cars, in three months we’ve managed to rack up well over 2,000 miles in our Spring.
