Could Oscar Piastri be an early favorite for the 2025 F1 title?

5 days ago | topgear.com.ph | Joe Holding |Anton Andres

Oscar Piastri became the first repeat winner (and, er, fourth pole-to-flag victor in a row in what was billed as the closest, most unpredictable F1 season in yonks), by dominating the Bahrain Grand Prix, closing to within three points of Lando Norris. Ergo, the Aussie is now the early favorite for the 2025 title. Yup, this is the ridiculously early conclusion we’ve reached based on four whole races of evidence.
This 1980s-inspired Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen will cost you P11.452-M

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Vijay Pattni |Anton Andres

Not everything needs to be ported over from the 1980s, but Mercedes has happily revived one bit we don’t mind seeing: the colors and style of the classic W460-series Geländewagen brushed over the bones of the new G-Class. It’s officially called the [deep breath and then shout] Mercedes-Benz G-Class Edition STRONGER THAN THE 1980s. And while we have no idea why Merc feels the need to scream the name from the rooftops, it is quite cool.
Project Safari: Turning the Lotus Elise S1 into a rally-ready machine

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Joe Holding |Anton Andres

Get Lost... No, not like that. Get Lost is the name of the all-new design and engineering brand responsible for this, a Lotus Elise S1 reimagined for road trip schenanigans and off-road funsies. Heritage be damned, we want it. It’s called Project Safari, and much has been done. Running all-terrain tires, a new, bespoke suspension system raises the ride height by 100mm, with the aim of ‘refining the body control’ and inspiring confidence. Not things the original was lacking, exactly.
The 2025 Jeep Easter Safari includes some brilliant concept trucks

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Greg Potts |Anton Andres

He is risen! And is that a modified Jeep Wrangler that he’s driving? Yep, it must be, because the annual Easter Jeep Safari kicks off again tomorrow with Jeep owners and fans making the pilgrimage to Moab, Utah, to pay their respects to the gods of off-roading. Every year, Jeep itself brings along a load of concept cars to show off its range of cars and aftermarket bits, and 2025 is no different. In fact, there are no fewer than seven concepts this year and Jeep has gone all-in on the retro.
Carlos Sainz could be fined for swearing over his bathroom fine

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Joe Holding |Anton Andres

Williams driver Carlos Sainz looks set to be fined for the second week running after dropping an (undeniably amusing) expletive in an FIA press conference in the build-up to Sunday’s Bahrain Grand Prix. Last weekend, the Spaniard was fined €10,000 (P647,440) for missing the start of the pre-race national anthem in Japan, having had a stomach bug that caused an unplanned pit stop… in the toilet.
Oh look, another special edition of the Toyota GR86

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Cat Dow |Anton Andres

‘Yuzu’? It's a type of citrus fruit with a distinct flavour, and is often used in Japanese cuisine, which goes some way to explaining why Toyota USA has created a new range-topping trim for the GR86 called the Yuzu Edition. Zingy. The bright yellow sports car adopts the vibrant hue in homage to the Scion FR-S, according to Toyota. To embolden the already-very-bold, it's paired with 18in matte black rims and exterior black accents. Frankly, it looks great.
Watch: Christian von Koenigsegg takes his Toyota GR Yaris to work

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Vijay Pattni |Anton Andres

Breaking news: The boss of one of the world’s rarest and most exclusive hypercar companies responsible for record-smashing, top-speed machines drives a small, three-cylinder Toyota hatchback to work. So, he’s human after all. Except… he’s not, because Christian von Koenigsegg (pictured below, middle)—boss of… Koenigsegg—doesn’t just drive any small, three-cylinder Toyota hatchback. He drives a Toyota GR Yaris, which is one of the world’s very finest hot hatches.
The Renault Clio V6 is still insane even after all these years

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Peter Rawlins |Anton Andres

It was inevitable, really. My love affair with the Renault Clio dates back to 2011, when I bought a 2005 1.2 16V ‘Extreme’ as a fresh-faced 17-year-old after passing my driving test. Three years later, I’d somehow managed to scrape enough money together as a uni student to upgrade to a 2005 RenaultSport Clio 182 ‘Full Fat’, a real pinch myself moment. I cherished it for the next eight years, but sadly life eventually got in the way.
The next-gen Chevrolet Corvette could become an all-out supercar

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Jack Rix |Anton Andres

Are we looking at the next-generation C9 Chevrolet Corvette? Yes! And also No! This new concept car will definitely influence the styling of the next-generation Corvette, but it’s not quite as simple as sticking on some number plates and giving it the thumbs up. It’s the work of GM’s new Advanced Design Studio in Leamington Spa and one of three Corvette concepts that will be shown this year.
This armored Land Rover Defender is worth the high asking price

1 week ago | topgear.com.ph | Cat Dow |Anton Andres

Meet Bellatrix: A modified and armored Land Rover Defender with enough gadgets to ensure that it wouldn’t look out of place in the next Bond movie. Designed and built by New York firm Helderburg, the Bellatrix has got—deep breath—explosive resistance to .44-Magnum ballistics and grenade attacks, electric shock door handles, concealed gun ports, run-flat tires, a smoke screen system ‘for evasive maneuvres,’ mace-spraying side mirrors, a road-spike system, and reinforced hidden ram bumpers.
