Range Rover Evoque
The Evoque’s been a massive hit for Land Rover, and the brand’s hoping to recreate that success in the new model by changing… as little as possible.
Actually, that’s a little unfair – while the tried-and-tested styling remains in place, the Evoque rides on a new, lighter platform and will be fitted with a range of upgraded engines as well as groundbreaking kit such as an invisible bonnet. No, we’re not joking…
Lexus UX
Premium, hybrid and SUV are three very popular words, so combining them all into one package should be a shortcut to big sales, right? The Lexus UX certainly hopes so.
The UX is set to sit underneath the NX and RX in Lexus’ SUV range, and will mix the brand’s trademark hybrid powertrains and rock-solid build quality.
McLaren 720S Spider
McLaren’s regular 720S has gone down as one of the very greatest supercars of all time, and this – the 720S Spider – is designed to offer the same experience, albeit one with a little more breeze.
Packing 710hp, the Spider weighs just 50kg more than the hardtop – meaning it’s still capable of hitting 200mph with the roof down.
Mercedes-AMG One
The partnership between Mercedes and AMG has already produced some fantastic results, but the all-new One is likely to be one of its fastest. Incredibly, it uses the same engine as that found in Mercedes’ Formula 1 race cars, linked to an electric motor for added shove.
It’s capable of producing over 1,000hp, and features an amazing 11,000rpm redline – only just down from the 13,500rpm limit on Lewis Hamilton’s race car.

Polestar 1
It feels like a long time now since Volvo’s performance arm, Polestar, split off to develop its own line of electrified sports models. The Polestar 1 is the first of the breed and could arrive in 2019.
If you think the Polestar 1 looks a lot like a coupé version of Volvo’s S90 saloon, that’s because it’s actually based on a 2012 Volvo coupé concept, which was used to preview the current Volvo family design.
It uses a pair of electric motors and a 2.0-litre petrol engine to produce 600hp.
