FIRST DRIVE: New Dacia Duster: Still The Ultimate Budget Hero?
The Dacia Duster is a car we love, because it’s designed for real life and honest about where the money has been saved to get the price down. But there’s now a new, third-generation Duster – and might it have ideas above its station? It’s been styled, for a start, can be had with a hybrid powertrain, and comes with a bunch of electronic safety kit the brand previously eschewed. To put it to the test, we took one to Morocco. In part because Dacia has a healthy share of Moroccan new-car sales, due to its French ownership and the country’s former colonial status. But also in part because, just as the new Duster is a somewhat different from what went before, so is the Dacia brand. It’s even getting into motorsport, the Dakar Rally no less, and with amazing coincidence, testing in the Moroccan desert during our visit was Dacia’s new Sandrider racer.

FIRST LOOK: Lamborghini Temerario – 907bhp, Turbo V8 Hybrid, 10,000rpm!
The arrival of the new Temerario – a replacement for the Huracán – now means Lamborghini offers all its models with hybrid powertrains. Hmmm… But fret not, for this is Lambo’s take on hybridisation. So, while the Huracán's naturally aspirated 5.2-litre V10 has been swapped for a mere 4.0-litre V8, it has gained twin turbos and over 150bhp in the process. And, just for good measure, Lamborghini has allied it to not one, not two, but three electric motors, for a 907bhp total. That, and compared to the now-defunct V10, the forced-induction V8 revs higher. To the tune of 10,000rpm! Still want that six-cylinder McLaren Artura or Ferrari 296 GTB? There’s plenty more to uncover, too, so Top Gear Magazine’s Associate Editor, Tom Ford, is your guide to this new ‘baby’ Lambo… Subscribe to Top Gear for more videos: http://bit.ly/SubscribeToTopGear WATCH MORE TOP GEAR: First Looks: https://bit.ly/TGFirstLooks First Drives: https://bit.ly/TGFirstDrives American Tuned ft.

Full Build: From Rusted Out 1961 Chevy Impala to Revved Up Red Sled
We stumbled upon an old, rusting '61 Impala that had been neglected for years and decided to take on the massive project of transforming it into a stunning custom car we named "Red Sled." This journey was not for the faint-hearted as it included stripping down the entire vehicle, reinforcing the corroded frame, and giving it a modern air ride suspension. We dove deep into patching up the body with new floor pans, widened tubs, and countless hours of bodywork to ensure the Impala's transformation was spot-on. The shiny red paint job, custom faux chrome emblems, and a sleek new interior by M&M Hot Rod Interiors were the cherries on top. The heart of this beauty is a high-octane 409ci V8 engine paired with a four-speed transmission, making it hard to resist hitting the road. After such an extensive rebuild, the thrill of driving Red Sled was more than rewarding. The car, once left to waste away in a field, now turns heads and sparks envy, epitomizing a perfect blend of classic style and modern enhancements.

Featuring advanced performance technology, it includes a suspension system built for ultimate control and a sensory audio setup with wellness-enhancing features. The Range Rover Sport SV is powered by a 4.4-litre Twin-Turbo MHEV V8 engine, producing 635 PS (467 kW) at 6,000-7,000 rpm and 750 Nm of torque from 1,800-5,855 rpm—a power boost over the previous 5.0-litre V8. This setup enables the SV to accelerate from 0-100 km/h (0-60 mph) in 3.8 seconds (3.6 seconds with Dynamic Launch), with a top speed of 290 km/h (180 mph). Aided by innovations such as 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheels (a world first on a production vehicle), Carbon Ceramic Brakes, and standard aerodynamic upgrades, it saves up to 76 kg in weight. Reflecting Range Rover’s modern luxury, the Range Rover Sport SV is initially available only to select clients through an invitation-only SV EDITION ONE. This exclusive edition combines premium features, colors, and finishes, with custom branding on the front splitter, center console, treadplates, and puddle lamps.

The Carbon Ceramic Brakes reduce unsprung weight by 34 kg compared to standard iron brake discs, contributing to improved responsiveness. The braking system features eight-piston Brembo Octyma front calipers with a unique cross-piston arrangement, available in custom colors like Yellow, Red, Carbon Bronze, and Black. The optional 23-inch Carbon Fibre Wheels, a first for any production vehicle, reduce weight by almost 9 kg per corner, enhancing handling and ride quality while meeting rigorous Range Rover durability standards. Drivers can activate SV Mode to elevate the vehicle’s dynamic capabilities, optimizing steering, transmission, throttle, exhaust note, and 6D Dynamics suspension, lowering the vehicle by an additional 15 mm. SV Mode also activates the TracDSC stability control, allowing the driver to fully explore the vehicle’s balance and agility. Inside, the Range Rover Sport SV debuts the Body and Soul Seat (BASS) system, providing a tactile audio experience from SUBPAC™ that allows front-seat occupants to feel the music. This is paired with the 29-speaker, 1430W Meridian Signature Sound System and features wellness programs designed to promote relaxation by enhancing heart rate variability (HRV). The Price of the 2025 Land Rover Range Rover Sport SV is expected to start at $180,000 USD and can reach up to $200,000 USD depending on trim and options.

FIRST LOOK: New Renault 4 – Retro Done Right?
The original 4 was rather a big deal for Renault, with over 8m of the little things sold on five continents across three decades. And now it’s back, because Renault is cleverly plundering the back catalogue to give its new wave of affordable EVs the retro-design treatment. We’ve already had the 5 supermini, a new Twingo arrives in 2026, and the pair bookend this, the 4. Think of it as a dinky little crossover, to the 5 what the Renault Captur is to the Clio. Prices should start under £30k in the UK, the range is around 250 miles, and the personalisation options are plentiful.
