    Best used homologation specials, £70k fast dailies and a Chinese EV's in-car toilet

    28/04/2026 | 59 mins.
    It's not often that a Peugeot 205 T16 road car comes up for sale on PistonHeads.com, but one recently has and it could be all yours for north of a quarter of a million pounds.
    And that got use thinking: what are the best used homologation specials currently up for grabs on PH? We've got every price point covered from £5,000 all the way up to numbers so big they can only be displayed as POA. We've got rally stars, touring cars, GT legends and many more.
    If you'd prefer something that won't rattle you to pieces, we've got a buying challenge where a PHer is in need of a practical but fast family car for £70k, and if you're prone to getting caught short on long journeys then we've got you covered too. Who says we don't do consumer advice?

    BMW's hydrogen breakthrough, £3k sports cars and the most disappointing cars

    21/04/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    Thought hydrogen cars were a thing of the past? Think again. BMW’s pressing on with its hydrogen fuel cell iX5, and has found a clever way to package the tanks while upping the range. But BMW isn’t the only manufacturer still putting its eggs into the hydrogen basket, with Toyota and Alpine also going big on H2. Who will join them next?

    As ever, there’s a buying challenge to get stuck in to, with one PHer looking for a fun drop top sports car fro £3,000, before diving in to the most disappointing cars you’ve ever driven.

    Inside the 911 GT3 S/C + £30k Fast Saloons & Guilty Pleasures | The Gassing Station

    15/04/2026 | 1h
    Did you know Porsche has been considering a 911 Cabriolet for almost 20 years? Well, it’s finally here, and Cam and Sam have all the details on the new 911 GT3 S/C. After the Porsche deep dive, it’s on to the unusual car collection of Andreas Preuninger before sinking into a £30k Buying Challenge.
    The two pit a legendary V10 BMW and some heavy-hitting muscle against a cult-classic Lexus and an Italian thoroughbred, before wrapping up with the "Terrible Cars" we can’t help but love.

    F1’s Hybrid Mess & The £150k ‘High-Risk’ Cars

    07/04/2026 | 1h 2 mins.
    With an unscheduled break in the F1 calendar, we’re taking refuge in the forums to ask the big questions: are the new 50/50 hybrid regs actually any good, or is the "yo-yo" racing just a bit of a mess? PHer tangerine_sedge has a poll running, and the results are... divided.
    Also in this episode:
    - The £150k Pension Pot: PHer roca1976 has some inheritance to spend. We’ve gone hunting for a manual GT that won’t tank in value. Sam’s picks include a McLaren 600LT Spider, Honda NSX and Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, while Cam's tossing up between a Lotus Evora GT430, Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) and Aston Martin GT8. Which one gets your money?
    - Hilarious warnings: we visit donkmeister’s thread on bizarre manufacturer warnings. Featuring Audi’s air raid alerts and the BMW dashboard icon that tells you when you’ve left the gun safe open.

    1,156hp Porsche Cayenne Electric Driven + £20k Hot Hatch Challenge

    31/03/2026 | 1h 4 mins.
    Porsche’s EV plans are shifting. After the EU softened its 2035 ban, the brand is rethinking electrification—pausing a new EV platform and even considering a flagship ICE sports car above the 911.
    That doesn't mean the Cayenne Electric is dead. If anything, it may be more important now than ever. Sam and Cam dive into the Cayenne Turbo Electric (1,156hp, 2.6 tonnes!) and whether it still delivers that signature Porsche feel.
    Plus: a £20k hot hatch showdown (Megane RS vs Cupra), and instantly recognisable engine sounds.
