With the new ID.3 GTX Performance priced at over 10 times its amount, is now the time to go retro?. Skip 15 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. With this week’s launch of the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX Performance signalling the start of the GTI moniker’s transition to electric, how about a retro, ICE-powered forebear for less than 1/10th of the price?

Want an old Mk2 VW Golf GTI? Here's a (nearly) pristine one we found for £4.5k

Clive Sutton's extraordinary seven-seater is peak executive shuttle. Skip 20 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Ah, the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, the epitome of Big Executive Shuttle, now given a first class makeover via London-based Clive Sutton to make it a more executive-y Big Executive Shuttle. Welcome to the quarter-of-a-mil ‘First Class’ package.

The inside of this £276k Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is like a private jet

Inspired by a Bentley, the ‘Mentley’ is claimed to get to 60mph in just *three* seconds. Skip 8 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Yes, we know this one’s a lot to take in one bite because it's a classic Austin Mini that’s not a classic Austin Mini, save for the perfectly retro circular headlights and the diminutive size. Dubbed the ‘Mentley’, it’s the brainchild of Dominic Whittle, who’s entered (and won) the British leg of the Hot Wheels Legends Tour, with it now eligible for a shot at the outright global crown for a chance to be immortalised in 1:64 scale.

This is a 320bhp, TVR-powered Mini track car… boosted with nitrous

The 41-jewel, five-link watch has lots of blue colouring woven in to nod toward some Tudor classics. Skip 5 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Tudor has a long association with blue-coloured watches, and that association now continues with this: the Black Bay Chrono ‘Blue’. The ‘Tudor Blue’ shade used here is new, apparently, and is supposed to make this watch the natural successor to famous models like the ‘Montecarlo’ Oysterdale and the ‘Snowflake’ Submariner. Because… it's blue.

The Tudor Black Bay Chrono Blue is a stunning stainless steel watch for under £5k

It’s also claimed to be the first ever clock with automatically rotating propellers. Skip 8 photos in the image carousel and continue reading. Yes, we know what you’re thinking: “What in the Terminator’s hot airship is that?” Well, it’s called the ‘Albatross’, and it's supposed to be a modern reincarnation of the airship of the same name from Jules Verne’s novel, Robur the Conqueror. Only this thing doesn’t fly, it sits and… tells the time.

The Albatross is a 1,520-piece airship clock that’ll set you back a cool £107,000

Forget the Baja: we gave the Nissan X-Trail a proper, gruelling 1,800-mile workout. The Nissan X-Trail has survived two major events of late. Event Number One: a version of it completed the Baja Aragon rally (albeit a teensy bit modified). Event Number Two: it completed nearly 2k miles with three children on board, right across France. The latter is of course, the most significant of the two.

Nissan X-Trail - long-term review

MC12's championship-winning driver reveals his latest project: this bewinged track-only special. Fireproofs on... Maserati recently unveiled a new take on its really rather impressive V6-engined supercar. Formerly known as Project24, the MCXtrema does exactly what it says on the tin – it’s the most extreme thing Maserati could come up with using the bones of the MC20, and the 62 examples that are set to be built can only be used on track.

Is the Maserati MCXtrema a worthy successor to the glorious V12-engined MC12?

In this week’s installment of Homeless Hotel Diary, broken glass again leads the lineup. Someone smashed a window in the lobby of Fusion Studios, the Colorado Coalition for the homeless property where I live and pay a third of my income for rent. This same person shattered the door to the case manager’s office and threw rocks through the windshield and side windows of the community van. Multiple residents told me who did the damage – the same person allegedly committed all three crimes – and last I knew that person still was at large. I could not get any official reports from Coalition staff. They were not available to speak with me Friday.
