You may already have read Illya Verpraet’s comprehensive report on the new Volkswagen T-Roc, dispatched from Lisbon in November. And in just a couple of months’ time you’ll be able to read an even more comprehensive review, bolstered by economy and performance figures obtained at Horiba MIRA proving ground, when the T-Roc undergoes its full road test. But in case this is somehow not enough T-Roc for you, here’s a brief report from the car’s fresh-off-the-boat arrival into the UK – a market in which the first-generation model was spectacularly successful between 2017 and 2025, even as its specific niche became increasingly…

Audi could hybridise its 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine as a way of keeping it on sale in Europe in the face of stricter emissions regulations, Audi Sport boss Rolf Michl has told Autocar. In its current configuration, the 394bhp ‘EA855’ falls foul of the new Euro 7 emissions regulations coming into force in November. Bringing it into compliance would demand a substantial engineering investment – a difficult business case to justify when the engine is deployed in just two models globally: the Audi RS3 and Cupra Formentor VZ5.  The recent launch of the RS3 Competition Limited was seen as a potential swansong for the…

Physical car controls will become an increasingly crucial way for car brands to stand out in the future, according to a leading design firm. “You can see how screens have made their way into vehicles and they’re upgradable, but unless they’re dealt with well, it can be quite a lazy intervention,” Luke Miles, founder of NewTerritory, told Autocar. “There is a moment [coming] when there’s going to be a new level of value in some of the analogue bits, some of the real high-value bits that you interface with.” NewTerritory has historically focused on aviation, designing interiors for US giant…

The cloud industry has long promoted a reassuring sustainability narrative: Hyperscalers are more efficient and renewables for energy are growing, which means shifting workloads off‑premises and reduces emissions.  But how “green” is a specific cloud workload, in a specific region, at a specific time?  For most enterprise buyers, that comparison remains frustratingly hard. Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft, and Google all publish sustainability data and customer-facing emissions tools, but they disclose different things, at different levels of granularity, using different methods. That makes direct comparisons difficult just as cloud becomes the default destination for AI workloads. Similar metrics on…

Rolls-Royce is winter testing its second electric model, a Cullinan-sized SUV that will go head to head with Bentley’s forthcoming maiden EV.  Goodwood’s new model was seen for the first time at parent company BMW Group’s proving ground in Arjeplog, Sweden, in what appears to be close to production spec.  The SUV will sit on the Architecture of Luxury platform used by all existing Rolls-Royce models including the Spectre coupé, the firm’s first EV.  That model draws electricity from a 102kWh battery, offers 329 miles of range and delivers up to 650bhp from a dual-motor powertrain in top-rung Black Badge…

The integration of McLaren and Forseven – which had around 700 employees – sparked a reorganisation, and Collins acknowledges “some of our colleagues departed as part of that”. Those included McLaren’s then CEO Michael Leiters and chief designer Tobias Sühlmann, both of whom are now at Porsche. Collins says he was impressed by the “amazing people in McLaren”, adding that “the depth of technical knowledge is phenomenal. It’s a young workforce compared to some other firms, with very high technical talent.” Collins attributes McLaren’s struggles in recent years to process, not personnel, explaining: “We didn’t take decisions fast enough. We…

Our editors, clockwise: Christine Pride, Alison Piepmeyer, Kaitlyn Teer, Joanna Goddard, Jannelle Sanchez, and Kelsey Miller Are you a skincare fan? I absolutely love it — and I love hearing the little details of people’s routines. It’s such a fun peek into someone’s daily life. Our team of editors has a varied mix of skin types and challenges.

From age 12 to 34, I dealt with painful breakouts and tried almost every treatment. I felt so…

Thumb the start button on the steering wheel and the 2.0-litre turbo petrol four settles into a familiar, slightly gravelly idle.Under load, the engine doesn’t really get any more sporting in tone, but it does forgo any digital augmentation through the speakers. Producing 276bhp and 295lb ft of torque, it’s good for 0-62mph in 5.7sec. Indeed, the Giulia feels brisk and responsive, helped by its sub-1500kg kerb weight.Its ZF eight-speed automatic gearbox is generally smooth, with only a bit of awkwardness when pulling away from a set of traffic lights.Make use of the tactile shift paddles and you will have plenty of…

Image: Nomad_Soul/Adobe McGraw-Hill has confirmed unauthorized access to a limited set of internal data following a reported Salesforce misconfiguration. The disclosure comes after an extortion threat, allegedly by ShinyHunters, that raised questions about the incident’s scale and sensitivity. “ShinyHunters has no shortage of options for potential follow-up campaigns. They can target instructors with convincingly branded messages, pivot into downstream tools, and even impersonate trusted contacts to push payment redirection or harvest credentials,” Ross Filipek, CISO at Corsica Technologies, said in an email to eSecurityPlanet. He added, “For students and families, the fallout can range from identity fraud attempts to harassment…
