The gang's back together again and they drive straight into the biggest headlines of the week. Ali, Richard, and Daniel give us a rundown of everything you need to know about the all-electric 2025 Porsche Macan that has finally launched, the new kid on the block- premium EV brand Deepal Cars- that brings together auto giants Changan, CATL, and Huawei, and Hyundai's new plant set to open in Malaysia.

Then, Richard speaks with PETRONAS fuel technology specialist Chan Ming-Yau to take us behind the scenes for a look at the all-new PETRONAS Primax 97 with Pro-Race to find out how the fuel is unmatched when it comes to power, responsiveness, and efficiency.

And finally, it's a two-wheeler review this week! Daniel waxes lyrical in his glowing review of the sporty Vespa GTV 300. Tune in to find out how the levelled up scooter ensures you'll stand out among the hustle and bustle of the city.
