News
The successor to the Lamborghini Huracán will be revealed in the coming months as the final entrant into the Italian firm’s all-electrified model line-up – we have all you need to know.

As is the way with the last issue of the year, it’s time for our staffers to pick their favourite cars of 2023 – from the Prodrive P25 to the BMW M340i, they count their winners.
Autocar magazine appears each week as if by magic, but behind the scenes lies a hidden production line of activity. Charlie Martin explains how we do it…
