The Panamera is now smarter and more eco-friendly, with a power delivery that gives you V6 petrol and motor power right from the off. The battery's capacity has been boosted by 50 per cent, allowing a range of 50km (and a top speed of 138kph) on electric power alone. Elsewhere, you get a faster shifting eight-speed gearbox and a new cockpit with three touchscreen displays. From £71,795
More than a year in development, the Bokeh was conceived with the burgeoning adventure-sport scene in mind (think tough rides such as the Transcontinental). It is hand-built using a custom-formed Dedacciai tubeset with a unique D-section downtube and BoatTail seat stays for tyre clearance and all day comfort.
It uses front and rear through-axles on the wheels for stiffness and disk-brake safety. Pair the frame and custom fork with the AdventureSport 650b wheelset (built by fellow Brighton startup HUNT) and the Bokeh will take you far, fast - all you need is the legs. £1,150 (for frame, fork, seat clamp and through axles)masoncycles.cc
Nobody who's driven Jaguar's F-Type R would have walked away thinking, "What that really needs is a big slug of extra horsepower." Nevertheless, Jaguar-Land Rover has reorganised its performance division, naming it Special Vehicle Operations, so more power is exactly what the F-Type got - up to 567bhp. And four-wheel drive, a racy bodykit and - of course - more noise. £110,000
Equal parts geek-chic commuter ride and eco-friendly off-roader, the 1,000W Super 73 has the sturdy tyres and frame for handling a few bumps, plus a neat cupholder and a USB power point for the daily to-and-fro. It has a top speed of 70kph, a maximum range of 51km (extendible if you pedal along), and weighs in at 31kg. The battery charges from flat to full in under four hours. From $2,999
The AMG GT has won admirers, in large part down to its bold silhouette. But does it still work with the roof lopped off? Luckily, yes. It helps that the front grille, air inlets and vents have been tweaked, and those changes aren't just aesthetic: the soft top has the aerodynamics of the range-topping GT R. Combined with the 4.0-litre V8 motor under the bonnet, it could make the roofless AMG GT even more compelling to drive than its hardtop sibling. £poa
The all-electric twin-prop 7S boat - powered by two 40kW motors - makes use of two side-mounted hydrofoils level with the windshield to elevate it, thereby reducing its power consumption dramatically. Edorado claims a top speed of 40 knots and a cruising range of 80km at 25 knots. £poa
When it rolls out in 2018, the Lilium Jet aims to be the first electric vertical take-off and landing jet. Theoretically, that means you could land in a large garden without too much trouble - assuming you have a sport pilot's licence. The Lilium team claims the jet will weigh up to 600kg, with two people, and have a range of 777km at a cruising speed of 466kph. £poa
