WATCH: V12 super-battle as new Aston Martin Vanquish takes on Ferrari 12Cilindri – but which one will win?
If you want to compare Aston and Ferrari, there's no end of criteria. Yet the comparison that hits hardest and means the most remains Il Classico. We're talking grand tourers, especially the V12 ones. For us these extraordinary cars still define the companies. Does it matter which wins? In truth, not especially. I'll tell you now that, barring the odd quirk, both the 12Cilindri and the Vanquish offer an experience so absurdly gratifying, exciting and evocative that you would give a kidney to own either. Today's verdict is more of a gun-to-the-head affair – watch the film above to find it out…

Now's your chance to have a say on the UK's rollout of self-driving taxis
The government has launched a consultation on the future of autonomous vehicles, with a view to putting self-driving taxis and buses on the road early next year. It has invited the public and industry to provide their views on issues such as how to allow firms to run autonomous taxis, considering what safeguards should be put in place if permits need to be withdrawn. It will also call for statements on how to ensure autonomous taxi services are accessible to those who cannot drive, such as the elderly and disabled. This will inform a pilot scheme for taxi companies to use autonomous vehicles in the UK, without a human back-up to take control if the car makes an error. A wider rollout is planned for mid-2027, when the Automated Vehicles Act comes into force. The government claims the adoption of autonomous vehicles by taxi firms will create 38,000 jobs, though it is unclear whether that figure takes into account job losses as human drivers are replaced by technology. 'Self-driving vehicles are one of the most exciting opportunities to improve transport for so many people, especially those in rural areas or unable to drive,' said Lilian Greenwood, minister for the future of roads. 'We want to work with passengers and industry to make this new form of transport safe and accessible, as we take our next steps towards adoption.' Autonomous vehicles were first allowed to be tested on public roads across the UK in 2015, and several manufacturers have since tested the technology here. Among the most notable firms has been Nissan, which in March ended trials of a modified fleet of Leaf EVs after eight years. Nissan's engineering chief, David Moss, called the tests 'tremendously successful', with the cars having covered 16,000 miles across motorways, town centres, residential streets and countryside lanes with no recorded accidents.

Four fun EVs to ease the switch for petrolheads – but expert warns of two hurdles brands face despite government grant
THE FUTURE is undoubtedly electric, as manufacturers steadily shift their focus from petrol-powered motors to electric ones. However, it's perfectly understandable that many car enthusiasts aren't quite ready to embrace this change. 2 2 The absence of traditional driving traits, such as the sound, vibration and gear changes associated with internal combustion engine cars is widely regarded as a pretty big loss. But in an interview with EVPowered last year, former Top Gear host James May implored enthusiasts to give electric power a chance, adding: 'If you're a true car enthusiast, you have to take an interest in the future of the car.' Change is hard though, and manufacturers face a tricky few years helping drivers - from petrolheads to casual fans - make the transition. It's something Steve Walker, Head of Digital Content at Auto Express, told Sun Motors in a recent exclusive chat. He said: 'The evolution of performance EVs faces two main challenges. 'Firstly, EVs are inherently heavy due to their batteries, which works against them being as nimble and fun to drive as petrol cars. 'Secondly, enthusiasts tend to love cars partly because they've formed a deep emotional connection to the history and heritage of performance brands and their cars over the years. 'EVs are a real break from this past. They don't have the same authenticity and don't offer the same sounds and sensations that petrol cars do. This makes them less appealing initially. 'That said, manufacturers know they need to engage enthusiasts. These are the people who are willing to pay for premium and performance models. 'They're also the people who help generate the culture and interest around car brands through their passion for the cars, bringing the brand's products to a wider audience. Alpine A290 GTS delivers a hot hatch EV that comes with F1-style 'overtake button' 'So, manufacturers are working on creating EVs that feel better to drive and more connected to that heritage. 'We're already seeing features like simulated engine noises and artificial 'manual gear changes' in performance EVs to mimic that petrol car driving experience. 'Looking ahead, technologies such as lighter solid-state batteries and in-wheel electric motors could reduce weight and improve driving dynamics, helping EVs become more exciting and appealing to enthusiasts.' CHARGING UP Something that might sway some drivers - petrolheads or otherwise - is the introduction of the Electric Car Grant by the government that was announced earlier this week. It sees £650 million set aside for drivers to enjoy a discount of up to £3,750 taken off the price of EVs priced under £37,000. That funding, planned to run until the 2028-29 financial year, also only counts towards models from brands that have committed to a so-called Science-Based Target (SBT) for emissions. Fewer than 50 new EV models would qualify for the grant, providing they meet the required criteria. Among them is the super-fun Alpine A290, starting at £33,000 for the base model, as well as the Abarth 600e - specifically, the 237bhp base model, which just fits within the grant threshold - and the Mini JCW Electric with its 255bhp. Walker said: 'While performance car fans aren't likely to be as excited about EVs as company car drivers or family buyers, who are often more focused on costs or practicality, there are a few current models that deserve to grab enthusiasts' interest. 'The Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is a prime example - it was actually the first EV to win the Auto Express Performance Car of the Year award in 2024, marking it as a real pioneer of fun electric cars. 'Another interesting option is the Alpine A290, but overall, fun EVs are still very much in their infancy and quite rare compared to petrol alternatives, which remain fundamentally better at delivering the traditional thrills that enthusiasts crave.' MAKING THE SWITCH Switching from a petrol-powered car to an EV can feel like a daunting step for some. The challenge for the industry is to make EVs with emotional appeal Steve Walker, Auto Express However, Walker offers valuable advice for those ready to take the leap into the world of electric cars. 'For enthusiasts making the switch, it's important to recognise that EVs today are different beasts - heavier and quieter, with driving sensations that don't replicate the petrol experience,' he said. 'They're also fast, with an immediate power delivery that most petrol models can't match. 'As the technology improves, expect EVs to become more engaging and responsive. 'Manufacturers still need 'halo' cars that generate interest and showcase innovation. As the legislation stands in Europe, these will have to be EVs. 'Ultimately, without enthusiasts, cars risk becoming just another consumer product like a phone or washing machine. 'The challenge for the industry is to make EVs with emotional appeal through which drivers can express their personality and passion, just as petrol cars have done for decades.'

2026 Ford Explorer Just Got More Affordable

View post: How The World's Best Hillclimb Racer Trains His Body to Race at 14,000 Feet Above Sea Level View post: Are Kias Reliable? Here's Everything You Need To Know Best-Selling Midsize SUV for H1 2025 The 2026 model year is quite important for the Ford Explorer. With over 104,000 units sold in the first half of 2025, the Explorer is currently the best-selling midsize SUV in the US – a strong start for the newly refreshed model. Now, the company is doubling down on that momentum with a refreshed pricing strategy that could shake up the segment. According to the order guide that CarsDirect got its hands on, select trims of the 2026 Explorer are now more affordable than before, including a new rugged variant aimed squarely at off-road enthusiasts. The all-new Ford Explorer Tremor was slated to replace the outgoing Timberline trim, and with its pricing now official, it may be one of the smartest new buys in the three-row SUV space. A More Affordable Family SUV The base 2026 Ford Explorer Active now starts at just $38,330, down $1,720 from last year. Similarly, the top-end Platinum sees a $1,695 drop, starting at $50,830. The newly added Tremor trim joins the range at $48,330, undercutting Honda's Pilot TrailSport by over $1,000. That price also puts it just $1,100 below the now-discontinued 2024 Explorer Timberline. For shoppers looking for an affordable but capable SUV with legitimate trail-readiness, the Tremor could hit a sweet spot, both in terms of cost and performance. The 2026 Explorer Tremor takes over where the Timberline left off, but it's more than just a visual upgrade. Built for light off-road use, the Tremor rides on 18-inch black alloy wheels with all-terrain tires, comes with auxiliary lighting, and features a lifted suspension with retuned sway bars for better clearance and control. Ford also added underbody skid plates and unique Electric Spice accents on the wheels and tow hooks for a rugged aesthetic. Inside, the Tremor doesn't skimp on comfort, offering massaging front seats, Ford's latest infotainment suite, and available BlueCruise hands-free driving. There's a Steep Premium If You Want Top-Dog Power While the Explorer Tremor's $48K base price looks enticing, there's a catch. The 400-horsepower twin-turbo V6 engine is only available via the $11,505 Tremor Ultimate Package, bringing the total closer to $60,000. That's more than an ST 4×4, and it could impact how value-conscious buyers perceive the trim. Autoblog Newsletter Autoblog brings you car news; expert reviews and exciting pictures and video.

Still, with the base Explorer now cheaper than the equivalent Hyundai Palisade, Toyota Highlander, and Honda Pilot, Ford is positioning itself well. Rebates that once sweetened 2025 Explorer deals are gone for now, according to CarsDirect, but even at MSRP, the 2026 model has become a stronger competitor. The introduction of the Tremor, alongside simplified trim offerings and reduced pricing, suggests that Ford wants to keep the Explorer's crown as the midsize SUV king.
