What Is It? So, what’s this then? The Vauxhall Mokka GSE is the most powerful version of Vauxhall’s small electric SUV so far—and it’s got a bit of oomph about it. The GSE badge used to be slapped on the faster petrol and diesel Vauxhalls back in the day, but now it’s back with a spark. Based on the same e-CMP platform as a few other Stellantis cars, this one's got more punch and sportier handling than the standard Mokka Electric.

So, straight to the big news: the updated T-Roc R now puts out 328bhp. That’s a bump up from the previous version’s 300PS (or about 296bhp)—a solid step up. The power goes through a 7-speed DSG dual-clutch gearbox and VW’s 4MOTION all-wheel drive, nicked straight from the Golf R. It also gets adaptive suspension and torque vectoring, both managed electronically to keep everything feeling tight on the road. But yeah, drift mode. That’s the party trick here.

What Is It? Think of the Hyundai Ioniq 6 N as an electric saloon with proper performance chops — like a mad science project where they took the sensible Ioniq 6 and decided to give it some serious bite. It's got enough power to go head-to-head with the Tesla Model 3 Performance and even the base versions of the Porsche Taycan. But this isn’t just a case of sticking on a body kit and calling it a day.
