A sensible SUV gets a rally-style makeover in the Vauxhall Mokka GSE
Vauxhall's high-performance, all-electric Mokka GSE has got the green light, and it's set to be the fastest battery-electric Vauxhall ever built. The new GSE has been inspired by the Mokka GSE Rally prototype, using much of the tech and styling tweaks previewed by the concept seen earlier this year. The production Mokka GSE packs an impressive 276bhp, promising thrilling performance that Vauxhall says bridges the gap between rallying excitement and everyday usability. With an instant torque delivery of 345Nm, it rockets from standstill to 62mph in just 5.9 seconds, topping out at a lively 124mph. Under the skin, the Mokka GSE features a raft of performance-enhancing technology alongside a 54kWh battery. It uses the same high-voltage components – motor, inverter, battery, and wiring harness – as the rally-spec Mokka GSE Rally. There's a special Torsen multi-plate limited-slip differential designed to keep power delivery sharp and precise. Meanwhile, an upgraded chassis with new axles, double hydraulic shock absorbers, and a rear axle boasting a 189 per cent increase in roll stiffness over the standard Mokka Electric ensures exceptional handling. Stopping power is provided by huge 380mm front brakes sourced from specialists Alcon, gripped by striking yellow four-piston calipers, while aerodynamically optimised 20-inch alloys are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport EV tyres. With a kerb weight comfortably below 1.6 tonnes – remarkably light for a battery-electric vehicle – the Mokka GSE promises not just performance, but also agility and efficiency. There's no word yet on a maximum range for the high-performance Mokka, but the latest models promise 250 miles, so expect the high-performance model to be slightly below that. The Mokka GSE offers three distinct driving modes tailored to the driver's mood and need. 'Sport' mode unlocks its full potential, delivering maximum power and responsiveness. 'Normal' mode provides balanced everyday driving up to 112mph, while 'Eco' trims performance settings to maximise range from the compact 54kWh lithium-ion battery. Visually, the Mokka GSE looks the part. Exclusive design details inspired by its rally sibling ensure it stands out. A purposeful front spoiler, bespoke rear accents, and unique yellow and black GSE badging highlight the car's motorsport DNA. Inside, Vauxhall hasn't held back either. The cabin is crafted around performance-focused details, dominated by sporty Alcantara-clad GSE seats featuring integrated headrests, stylish yellow stitching, and a distinctive white centre stripe. Matching Alcantara inserts on the doors reinforce the sporty theme. Technology hasn't been overlooked, with the driver facing a customisable 10-inch digital information display that includes specialised GSE performance metrics such as acceleration data, G-force monitoring, and battery management insights. The central colour touchscreen echoes these cues, ensuring the driver is fully informed and engaged. Revealing the new Mokka GSE, Vauxhall's managing director Steve Catlin summed it up nicely: "The new Mokka GSE brings motorsport energy to the streets. Using years of pioneering electric motorsport experience, we've poured our best engineering, power, and handling into a car designed for daily thrills." Pricing and first delivery times aren't known yet, but with the level of technology on offer, we'd expect it to be just above the £37,280 of the electric Mokka Ultimate model, probably coming in at just under £40,000 to avoid the luxury car tax. We'd expect this first GSE model to arrive in showrooms towards the end of this year.

Honda's official motorsport partner is building a sportscar designed by Pininfarina
Honda's official motorsport partner is building a sportscar designed by Pininfarina JAS Motorsport is building a 'high-performance' road car, and Italy's sketching it Skip 1 photos in the image carousel and continue reading Turn on Javascript to see all the available pictures. A company called JAS Motorsport has revealed it is building a high-performance road car. JAS Motorsport has been Honda's official racing partner since 1998, winning touring car, GT and Rally titles, so it knows a thing or three about going fast. And a company called Pininfarina will design it. Pininfarina has knocked out some of the finest looking cars of the 20th and 21st century, so it knows a thing or fifteen about sketching out a high-performance road car. Advertisement - Page continues below We know nothing of what'll power this new high-performance road car, nor what it'll look like, barring the teaser image above. Pininfarina has only said it'll collaborate with JAS Motorsport on reimagining 'one of the most iconic sportscars of the past and offer it to the world of car enthusiasts and collectors'. Does that latter bit mean it'll be another slice of unobtanium? Certainly points to it, considering Pininfarina said it'll be built in Milan in an 'extremely limited edition'. As to the 'iconic sportscars' bit, your guess is as good as ours. Apparently the platform will be 'mechanical' (as opposed to… theoretical?) with 'the very latest automotive technology', will 'respect' its origins, and feature 'modern styling cues that will dress a chassis at the forefront of cutting edge construction technology'. So, there's that. We'll know more as both JAS and Pininfarina begin ramping up the development of the new sportscar, scheduled for a 2026 reveal. More as we get it.
