This week: Rolls-Royce Spectre detailed, Maserati Grecale driven, Dacia Sandero around the world and more
We’ve had a ride in an early prototype of the Rolls-Royce Spectre ahead of its launch next year.
As the brand’s first EV, it’s set to be the quietest, comfiest Rolls-Royce ever - but will it deliver?

*Reviews*
This week, we get behind the wheel of the Maserati Grecale Trofeo, an SUV with a supercar heart. Can it take on the likes of the Porsche Macan and the BMW X5M?
Meanwhile, we also drive an early prototype of the BMW i7, and we take the beautiful Bizzarrini 5300 GT Revival for a spin.

We decided to take the Dacia Sandero on a world tour to see the sights of Egypt, Gibraltar, Bermuda and California among others. The catch? We couldn’t leave the UK. Join Matt Prior on his miniature globetrotting adventure in our latest issue.
There’s no getting around the fact that everything related to motoring is soaring in expense, so be prepared to tighten your seatbelts. John Evans explains what costs you need to keep an eye out for.
