WHY IS THE BRAND-SPANKING-NEW TOPGEAR.COM SO BRILLIANT?

- Vijay Pattni

Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerate­d, our humble website might have said, had our humble website gained sentience and a fondness for Mark Twain. This is largely because it is very much Not Dead. It has been reborn for 2021. It is new. It is fresh. It is Other Important Words. Welcome to the brand new TopGear.com.

Like any good core model update, our new website sits not on a hastily cobbled together mish-mash of leftovers finished off with a new paint option and fancy wheels. No, the new TopGear.com is a full ground-up redesign; what you might say in CarSpeak as a scalable, lightweigh­t future-proofed platform. (Or in Regular Human Parlance, ‘new’.)

There’s all the latest news direct from TG

HQ presented in a fresh, sparkly format covering everything in the world of cars: electricit­y, limitededi­tion V8 supercars, videogames, old snotters restored to half-million pound exotics... the lot.

We’ve also tested every new car available in the UK and packed the reviews into a shiny new database. You can peruse them at your leisure or get instant verdicts on the cars you want to research, or just fantasy shop. After all, there’s never not a good time to read a review of a Bugatti Chiron.

Want to know more? Find out what these cars are really like to own (probably not the Chiron) in our shiny new Garage section: long-term tests of the cars you need to know about, tested in the realm of something called the ‘Real World’.

There’s a video vault heaving with the very latest from TG telly, Chris Harris (mostly doing massive skids in fast cars on track), quickfire tests of the best electric cars on sale today, and a rose-tinted look at the finest machinery from years gone by.

We’ve updated our patented Big Read Feature Technology too, with brand new functional­ity, and all of our stories work across every device (though probably not your Sony Walkman, sorry). Goes without saying the shiny new TopGear.com is packed with the very best photos and words in the business.

So what are you waiting for? Head over to the new TopGear.com now. Or later, if you want. After all, never put off until tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
