T3 September 2020

Almost nothing encapsulates the gas-guzzling thrill of mid-20th century motoring like the Ford Mustang, a design icon that surely must be many petrolheads’ dream wheels. Well now you can drive one without the guilt: Aviar is updating the classic muscle car for the 2020s by combining its classic lines and raw power with an electric engine. Built on the Tesla Model S platform and scheduled for production in 2021, the R67 has an all-carbon-fibre body inspired by the classic 1967 Mustang fastback while its electric engine will be able to top 155mph and accelerate from 0-60mph in 2.2 seconds. Meanwhile its 100kW/h battery should last you over 315 miles – all while its external sound system simulates the noise of a classic V8 engine. The pleasing blend of classic and…

It’s been a funny old summer for tech. Now I realise this is a bit of an understatement, in the same way it’s something of a euphemism to refer to the bakery blaze that caused the Great Fire of London as a mishap involving some burnt toast. But while many employees were furloughed and lots of events have been cancelled, we’re gradually seeing the new normal emerge and cracking gadgets being released once more. Naturally, the recent event that’s had most of the T3 team abuzz like over-caffeinated honey bees was Samsung Galaxy Unpacked 2020, where we finally got our first look at the new Galaxy Note 20 Ultra (you can check out our first impressions on page 10), as well as the Z Fold 2 and the – still distinctly…

1 SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 20 ULTRA • From £1,179, samsung.com Samsung’s Galaxy Unpacked event hurled a whole stack of products on us all at once, from the Galaxy Watch 3 and bean-shaped Galaxy Buds to the Galaxy Tab S7 and the second generation Galaxy Fold. All exciting stuff, but the highlight of the event was the company’s latest refresh in the decade-long legacy of its Note family of phablets. The Note 20 and its bigger (and, arguably, much better) counterpart, the Note 20 Ultra, absolutely stole the show. Like the 2019 release of the Galaxy Note 10 and 10+, which essentially positioned the 10+ as the lead device, we suspect the Note 20 Ultra is Samsung’s real take on the platform. There’s more to it than a simple design change, squaring off the…

Looking to bring some chic to your feet when hitting the streets? These sneakers are Tom Ford’s big play into streetwear. That doesn’t mean there’s any less attention to detail going on here though – the Jago Neoprene Suede and Leather Sneakers are crafted in Italy, with individual panels of supple tan leather, hard-wearing yet flexible red neoprene, and soft-touch suede. Pull tabs at the back of each sneaker put pay to you having to wrestle them on each day, while cushioned insoles boost the support the offer. The rubber soles should keep you upright when it’s slick outside, too – a definite plus as we head into autumn. Not that we’d recommend wearing these sneakers off-road any time soon – they’re far too cool to ruin with mud and…
