When we think of classic British sports cars, legends like the Jaguar E-Type, Lotus Elise or a Triumph immediately come to mind, renowned for their lightness, driving sharpness and pure driving pleasure.

Remember that old promise of an affordable Tesla electric car? Well, if you thought it was a dud, you're clearly wrong. The new Tesla Model Q, as the upcoming compact EV is said to be called, is back in the game - and this despite Elon Musk recently saying that a cheap car is "nonsensical". But if the latest reports from circles close to investors are to be believed, Tesla is still preparing for an extremely affordable electric car - with a base price of around 30,000 euros, which is more than 10,000 euros less than the currently cheapest Model 3.

Today, Toyota has hit the road with an electric news that will get many people on their feet – or at least behind the wheel.
