We got the information on the latest Mirage GT from Gemballa on the 18/02, but details were a bit thin, even though we did get a set of seven pictures. It would seem Gemballa are keeping full details to themselves for now, but we knew you’d like the information we have got, and the pictures, [...]
Ferrari is busy doing what it does best – making the most of the exceptional cars it makes. All the glory of late has been focused on the Ferrari California – but not for the right reasons. The California grabbed the headlines for two reason; it was the first Ferrari with a folding tin rood [...]
Blimey, there’s been some real speculation over the fate of the Honda F1 team since Honda revealed it had decided, for financial reasons, to withdraw from F1 with immediate effect. We’ve had Prodrive/Aston Martin boss David Richards firmly in the frame, followed closely by a Mexican billionaire called Slim with a Senna in his pocket! [...]
[ad#ad-1] As we are only too well aware, car makers are having the most torrid of times. Massive drops in car sales in the UK (at least in new cars – UK used car sales are actually rising) means car makers’ cashflows are horrific. But it looks like there’s a white knight on the horizon [...]
I’m sure all us Brits still think of Bentley as a good old British Car Producer. But when we pause and think we remember that they are in fact part of VW, and therefore very much a European car maker. Which explains why, despite the cars being bolted together here, Bentley feels the need to [...]
The Volvo S80 is now three years old, and Volvo has decided to spruce it up a bit for the current year. Volvo has played around with the nose and body on the S80, to give a lower, wider perspective. The new nose incorporates details similar to the XC60, declaring Volvo’s intention of a family [...]
Update September 2011: This story is getting a lot of traffic for the new Jensen Interceptor being built by CPP, and due in 2014. You can read about the new Interceptor by CPP here, as well as seeing what the Jensen SX – based on an original donor Interceptor – is all about below. The guys at [...]
A preview of the next generation BMW 6 Series (due late 2010) that will be a lower, sleeker car than the current generation.
Toyota has released details of the all new Toyota Verso, which will show at Geneva ’09 and launch in the UK in the Spring.
Mercedes has had stick in the past for playing with its ‘Toy Car’, the Smart. What was a quality maker like Mercedes doing involved with a car the size of the boot on an S Class Mercedes and named after a watch maker (the name stands for Swatch Mercedes Art)? Don’t get me wrong; there [...]
Life is cruel for Scandinavian car makers. Both Saab and Volvo fell under the control of now beleaguered US car makers (GM and Ford respectively) and now both the US companies want out. But there is a difference. GM has effectively abandoned Saab, leaving the quirky Swedish car maker at the mercy of the Swedish [...]
It’s official. Cars UK are now Green Car Fans. How could it be any different. The Bentley Continental Supersports is the fastest Bentley ever made, and it has solid green credentials to boot. A perfect combination. Bentley has released details of the car we knew was coming. Much trumpeting by Bentley over recent months about [...]
After a break on the embargo on the details of the DBS Volante earlier today, Aston Martin has decided to give us the details on the new car ahead of the launch at Geneva next week. As you would expect, it looks wonderful. Still the same gorgeous shape as the coupe, but with a dose [...]
Just last week we ran a story that’s doing the rounds about Aston Martin pulling the plug on its £1,000,000 supercar, the One-77. Now that in itself is not a huge shock considering the state of the economy and the likely state of Aston Martin’s cashflow at the moment. But what was a big surprise [...]
Christian Von Koenigsegg doesn’t do things by halves. Oh, no. A super wunderkid – massively wealthy from entrepreneurial escapades in his 20s – he produces what many would consider to be the ultimate supercar – the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition. Sporting over 1000bhp, the car explodes in a way nothing else on the roads today can. [...]
I have to say rumour, because Bugatti are not exactly reliable with information! We’ve heard rumours before that they are producing a ‘Sang Noir’ version of the Targa-Topped Grand Sport, but they’ve gone quiet on that. But now we’re hearing solid rumours, as Bugatti is 100 years old this year, that they are going to [...]
It really is remarkable what car makers can do when pushed. After years of thirsty cars, more and more manufacturers are showing us what can be done when they make a real effort in this direction (and not always at the expense of performance), and the latest is Volvo, which has extended its range of [...]
Hyundai has been taking all the glory in the Korean car makers race to the top. We liked the Hyundai i20 when we reviewed it recently, and Hyundai has taken the bold step of using its European design group to bring its cars more clearly in to focus for the European and world market. The [...]
It’s a good job we’re not print media here at Cars UK Towers. If we were, we’d have got through at least half a rainforest in the last few days bringing you information on the new Audi TT-RS. First the teaser images of the TT-RS from Audi themselves, then some moody black and whites which [...]
The Maserati Grand Turismo S is a seriously under-rated car. It is in many ways the bargain of the supercar (-ish) world, with not just some serious discounts on new prices but some astonishing deals on used. It looks fabulous – lots of gorgeous curves – and is everything you could want from an Italian [...]
A few days ago we brought you a bit of meat to add to the bones of the Alfa Romeo MiTo GTA Concept, which is the Hot version of the hugely successful MiTo range. Well now Alfa Romeo has given us even more meat, and some extra images, to tease and tantalise. Based on the [...]
Honda is keen to ensure that UK Prices for the new Honda Insight are keen, but most importantly that they undercut the Toyota Prius. So after the announcement of the Honda Insight details last month, Honda has revealed full pricing for its UK Specification cars. Starting at just £15,490 for the entry level model (Honda [...]
Bit of an Audi weekend this weekend, what with the teaser shots of the Audi TT-RS followed soon after by some leaked images of the TT-RS showing the car properly. But at least this time all the shots are courtesy of Audi, so there’s a bit of an Audi image-fest going on at the bottom [...]
We did a piece yesterday on the Audi TT-RS teaser images released by Audi ahead of the TT-RS launch at Geneva in March. But now we’ve got some more pictures, even though they are not official Audi releases (excuse the less than normal quality). It would make much more sense for car makers to stop [...]
You’ve got to feel for Scandinavian car makers Saab and Volvo. Both swallowed up by big US car makers, and both now being abandoned in a vulnerable position after years of integrating their once independent products in to their parents infrastructure, they must wake up every day wondering if this is the day it all [...]
