Lovecars: On the Road

EV or ICE Standoff

Tiff Needell, Paul Woodman, and the team explore the past, present, and future world of cars, kicking off in the Welsh hills with two very different grand tourers: the Bentley Continental GT Speed and the Porsche 911 GT3 Touring In a nod to the past, Tiff drives the £1.35m RML SWB, a modern take on the famous Ferrari 250 SWB, a time-warp machine from a company which knows a thing or two about building time-honored sports cars. From memory lane to modern tech, Paul takes a glimpse into the future with the Mercedes-Benz EQS 53, the brand's all-electric, flagship saloon. Nick Ponting goes for a spin in the Hyundai Ioniq 5, a retro-looking EV from Korea. And Tiff and Paul are back to their competitive ways as they compare the BMW iX xDrive 50, an electric SUV, with Audi's ludicrously loud, petrol-powered equivalent, the RS Q8.
