In a spectacular reveal event last night, Elon Musk revealed the long-awaited Tesla Roadster and, as he promised, it uses SpaceX technology in the form of cold-air thrusters to allow it perform, frankly, ridiculous manoeuvres, including actual flight. It can also suck itself to the ground for stability and cornering speeds, while hitting 100km/h from rest in about one second. Apparently it goes into production in 2028. "Actually," said Musk at the unveiling. You can go on the Tesla Ireland website now and place a reservation deposit for one of three different versions.

Dave nearly tripped over the diminutive Fiat Multiplina concept at the Paris Motor Show, but it's arguably just as important as the huge Multiplay concept overshadowing it on the stand. The Multiplina is a slightly larger take on the Fiat Topolino EV (that's essentially a restyled Citroen Ami), with four seats and a more attractive exterior. Here's our take on it.

Apparently, racing against other cars isn't confrontational enough, so Asphalt Legends has teamed up with Tekken 8 to introduce a fighting mode. Yeah, in cars… From 14 October to 10 November, players can take on bosses in knockout battles, complete with health bars and best-of-three rounds. There are character-inspired liveries for the Apollo IE, Peugeot Onyx and Pagani Huayra R, plus a Nissan 370Z and Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X dressed for the occasion. Seven Tekken 8 tracks add to the atmosphere. We once were Tekken regulars, but we have no idea what this is all about. Soz.

Ineos has revealed the Grenadier Helmsman, a nautical-themed special edition for the 2027 model year and the first in a planned series “inspired by the elements.” Available as a Station Wagon or Quartermaster pick-up, it features exclusive badging, black exterior detailing, 17-inch diamond-cut wheels and heated leather seats with oyster-coloured inserts. Buyers can choose from three paint colours, including the striking Whiteout Blue metallic, previously reserved for bespoke models. In Ireland, the Helmsman edition costs from €139,995.

Maserati will display a one-off GT2 Stradale alongside the legendary MC12 at the Villa La Massa Excellence concours near Florence from 16-18 October this week. Created through its Fuoriserie personalisation programme, the 640hp GT2 Stradale supercar wears metallic Blu Victory paint, white Trident graphics and racing number 33, referencing the MC12's motorsport success. The latter claimed 22 race victories and 14 titles between 2004 and 2010. Former Maserati racing driver Andrea Bertolini even signed the bespoke car's engine bay. Any excuse for a gallery.
