Car Deal of the Day: VW Taigo Black Edition at £222 per month is an attractive path to the dark side
Stylish yet frugal coupé-SUV
Generously equipped Black Edition
Three-year lease and £222 per month
Not everyone loves a coupé-SUV, but if you want a new car that offers plenty of space inside and some sleek, sporty styling, you can now get the Volkswagen Taigo Black Edition through Auto Express for as little as £222 per month.
That price is being offered by Carwow Leasey, through the Auto Express Find A Car service. It's for a three-year lease with an initial outlay of £2,963, followed by monthly payments of £222. Included in the offer is the standard annual allowance of 5,000 miles per year. Advertisement - Article continues below
If that initial payment is too high for you, it can be reduced to £1,824 – the equivalent of six months of payments, rather than 12 – and you'll still only have to pay £254 per month. You can also increase the mileage limit to 8,000 a year for less than £20 extra per month.
As the name suggests, the roof, roof rails, 18-inch alloy wheels, side mirrors and various other elements of the exterior trim are all black, plus it's fitted with tinted rear windows. Being the range-topping model, it's also equipped with a 10.25-inch Digital Cockpit Pro driver's display, 10.25-inch central touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats and wireless smartphone charging.
The Taigo is based on the more conventional, boxy Volkswagen T-Cross, and you might assume the coupé's roofline eats up lots of cabin space. But the interior is actually rather spacious, and you get a sizable 440 litres of boot capacity to play with.
Under the bonnet of the Taigo Black Edition is a 148bhp 1.5-litre three-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission. Volkswagen says this combo can return up to 48.1mpg and is good for 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds.

BREAKING NEWS Austrian Grand Prix delayed after Carlos Sainz's Williams car catches fire in Spielberg
Carlos Sainz 's Williams caught fire before the start of the Austrian Grand Prix, delaying the action by 10 minutes. The Spaniard complained about his brakes before smoke started coming out of the back of his car moments later. Marshals came scampering over immediately and doused the flames – he was lucky to be at the pit entrance close to assistance. Sainz, who was due to start 19th, remained inside the cockpit and was wheeled into his garage, his race over before it had begun with Lando Norris on pole with Ferrari's Charles Leclerc behind him. 'Game over, Carlos, jump out,' said his race engineer Gaetan Jego. Beforehand, Sainz had stalled on the grid as the formation lap began and was then jump-started by marshals. His despairing Williams boss James Vowles put his head in his hands on the pit wall. Sainz has had an underwhelming 2025 season and has not yet placed higher than eighth in any race, picking up points at just six Grand Prix so far. This after he came fifth in the 2024 driver's standings, having finished on the podium nine times, including wins in Melbourne and Mexico City.

How One British Firm Will Hand-Build Your Perfect Supercar
'Custom' supercars are a hot commodity These days, some of the biggest luxury and performance marques make big bucks not just on the six-to-seven-figure cars they sell, but also on the long list of customization and personalization options they let their customers add on top. Services like Porsche's Sonderwunsch, Bentley's Mulliner, and Ferrari's Atelier and Tailor Made programs are living examples. Last year, Ferrari sold just 13,752 cars but made around €1.3 billion ($1.35 billion) from personalization, accounting for about a fifth of its overall revenues. In addition, Rolls-Royce has been hard at work making £300 million ($376 million) worth of upgrades at its U.K. Goodwood factory to accommodate more of its 'bespoke' cars. 0:07 / 0:09 The Ford Mach 4 could be the brand's first sedan since 2020 Watch More Dash Bespoke SlipStream — Source: Dan Bathie / Dash-CAE But while the world's rich can configure supercars to have weird paint colors or have interiors and seats upholstered in exotic skins, they are usually restricted to the few models in the brand's portfolio and their particular body style and engine. There are a few exceptions, like Ferrari's Portfolio Coachbuilding Program, which has made special one-off cars for a select handful of its deep-pocketed and loyal clientele. One particular example is Eric Clapton, whose custom 70s-inspired Ferrari SP12 EC was rumored to cost nearly $4 million. Your supercar, from (almost) scratch However, a British advanced engineering company wants to change all that. Dash CAE is launching a new division called Dash Bespoke, which is dedicated to end-to-end complete vehicle programs. In short, it will make you a custom supercar from the ground up, from your ideas, without most of the risk and engineering headaches. Dash is able to create this sort of program in part due to its engineering experience and its in-house carbon fiber monocoque chassis, the TR01. Dash first released the TR01 back in 2023 as an off-the-shelf solution meant for racing teams, individuals, and firms that want to build their own low-volume production two-seater road cars. According to Dash, the TR01 platform is lightweight, stiff, and fully Euro NCAP compliant, which means it is road-legal in Europe. Additionally, they say it is a 'highly adaptable platform' for race cars as well as the production of supercars and hypercars.

By using this 'blank-slate' chassis, individuals can approach Dash with an idea and dream up anything, regardless of what engine powers it or what kind of body style it'll have, because all the most challenging engineering work has already been done. In a statement, Dash CEO Tim Robathan noted that there has been customer demand for a turn-key solution to small-batch performance vehicle builds, and that this would eliminate most of the hangups that prevent some cars from being made. 'Bringing a bespoke or low-volume performance vehicle to life is a monumental undertaking,' Robathan said. 'Whether it's an OEM motorsport project or a niche hypercar, the engineering, manufacturing, and assembly challenges and associated risks are high. For many brands and visionaries, these obstacles can halt progress and project viability. That is why we have established Dash Bespoke.' If you're not familiar with Dash Bespoke, it's a spinoff of Dash CAE, an engineering firm that has been working in racing since 2006. It has provided parts and various engineering and prototyping services to teams competing in Formula 1, MotoGP, IndyCar, and other aerospace, automotive, and defense solutions. Dash Bespoke has already made its first customer-built supercar, which will debut at the Goodwood Festival of Speed later this summer. It calls it the 'SlipStream' and it will have a mid-engined V8 built by New Zealand-based bespoke and racing engine manufacturer Hartley, along with bespoke carbon fiber subframes, a light alloy suspension system, and hydraulic dampers from Nitron. Final thoughts Dash doesn't have a price tag on its website for how much a custom-built supercar solution would cost, but it is taking inquiries from interested parties. Personally, I believe in the 'built, not bought' mantra; however, I could imagine this being a very effective solution for startup performance or supercar companies to get the ball rolling with their own unique creations. Theoretically, if I had the funds to commission Dash Bespoke for one of these creations, here's how I'd do mine: Honda HR35TT mated to a dual-clutch seven-speed under a body that looks like a first-generation Toyota MR2, pop-up headlights and all.

Koenigsegg Sadair's Spear Gallery: The Craziest Koenigsegg In Pictures
Sadair's Spear Is More Than Just A Modified Jesko With production of the inimitable Jesko hypercar drawing to a close this year, Koenigsegg has revealed a special series of 30 cars named Sadair's Spear, described as the most track-focused car the Swedish automaker has ever produced. Although based on the Jesko, it has several significant changes inside, out, and even underneath. So let's take a closer look at everything that marks the beginning of a new level of performance for megacars. 2024 Land Rover Defender V8 review: Still wild at heart Watch More 1 From any angle, the Sadair's Spear looks far more aggressive and performance-focused, thanks to numerous aerodynamic alterations. 2 Larger front dive planes/canards enhance both downforce and airflow, as do the vented wheel arches and a new Gurney flap in the vented hood. 3 The active rear wing at first seems similar to that of the Jesko Attack, but numerous slats and slits are among its changes, which, together with the rest of the body, contribute to a 20% higher downforce figure with 5% less drag. 4 New cooling intake scoops behind each occupant work together with an additional radiator to feed the 5.0-liter twin-turbo V8, which now produces 1,282 horsepower on regular unleaded and 1,602 hp on E85.
