Murcielago LP670-4 SV – The Lamborghini action video
March 13, 2009 By
[ad#ad-1] The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV was one of the stars of the Geneva ’09 Motor Show. Pure Lamborghini, from form to function, and probably the last of the real old-school Lamborghinis that will be made. Not surprisingly, even with its limited run, Lamborghini are making the most of the great reception the car received. [...]
Saab 9-3X to debut
February 11, 2009 By
Good to see Saab pushing ahead, despite the grief they have with parent GM. We brought you information on the 9-4X a couple of days ago, and now Saab has released details of their 9-3X crossover, that will début in Geneva next month. Saabs are very individual, and have a strong, although small, following. And [...]
Audi R8 – Now it’s the video
February 1, 2009 By
We’ve been waiting for the Audi R8 V10 for some time. But now it’s getting close Audi are busy teasing us with one little snippet or another. First we had the Audi R8 V10 images. Then we had the prices and specifications. And now it’s the turn of the video. As we wrote recently, the [...]

2008 BMW M3 (E92) Road Test Video
January 30, 2009 By
The most successful car of its type ever made, the latest version of the M3 has a stonking V8 and huge power reserves, but still manages to be (slightly) more economical than the outgoing model. The new V8 model gives the powerful BMW a more relaxed demeanour (when you want it) but those huge reserves [...]
Porsche GT3 to launch at Geneva
January 29, 2009 By
The next in line for the mid-life facelift (Gen 2) of the Porsche 911 is the GT3, following on from last year’s revisions to the Carrera and Targa. The GT3 has had only minor modifications to its looks, instead the detail, as you would hope, has gone on under the skin. The engine has gone [...]
Classic Lamborghini video surfaces
January 26, 2009 By
The Lamborghini of today is a far cry from the Lamborghini of old. Starting life as a tractor maker, Lamborghini cars came in to being when Ferruccio Lamborghini complained to Enzo Ferrari about the clutch on his new Ferarri. The dismissive response was that “the fault is with the driver, not the car”, and so [...]
Cadillac CTS-V hits the UK
January 20, 2009 By
When you think of Cadillac you tend to think of geriatric Americans coasting round God’s waiting room in Florida. Slow, old, wrinkled and not very well bolted together (and that’s just the drivers), nothing to inspire the car lover, and certainly nothing to suggest it would be a good idea to try and sell a [...]
2010 Audi RS5 spotted at Nurburgring
January 20, 2009 By
Audi’s RS models are pretty much the best in their class. Wonderfully willing engines, great handling and an urge to ‘Go’ that’s unrivalled in their competitors. Yes, it’s arguable that for track day fun a BMW with rear wheel drive is more fun, but in the real world Audi’s 4 wheel drive is a better [...]
XFR Jag the fastest ever
January 13, 2009 By
Car manufacturers have been very reticent about anything related to performance of late (unless it’s to tell us that the exhaust gases from their latest eco-box will save the planet) so its good to see that the boffins at Jaguar have been let out to play at the beach (well, the Bonneville Salt Flats, to [...]
New 2010 Toyota Prius Video
December 28, 2008 By
There is no doubt, the Toyota Prius is the best selling Hybrid car there has ever been. Toyota has marketed the car brilliantly, and it is seen, by many who wouldn’t normally be seen dead in a mid-range Toyota, as the car to drive. But things are changing. The world is starting to wake up [...]
Tesla Roadster vs Top Gear
December 17, 2008 By
As I’m sure many of you will have seen at the weekend, Clarkson got to play with the Tesla Roadster, an electric sports car based on the Lotus Elise. Made for interesting viewing. It was obvious that the weight of the batteries would compromise the handling, but its actual straight-line speed was a real revelation. [...]
Race of Champions 2008 Wembley
December 15, 2008 By
Yesterday (14th December 2008) saw the 2008 Race of Champions take place at a sodden Wembley Stadium in London. Competing in a range of vehicles, including KTM X-Bows, Focus WRC Cars and RoC Buggies, the best of the best from the Motor Racing World competed, including Jenson Button, David Coulthard, Michael Schumacher, Carl Edwards and [...]
2009 BMW Z4 announced
December 14, 2008 By
BMW has officially released details of the next BMW Z4, due to be shown at Detroit and in UK showrooms in the spring. The new Z4 looks like a big improvement on the outgoing model. The old Z4 had Marmite looks – you loved it or hated it – but the new BMW Z4 has [...]
All the thrills & spills of F1 2008
December 13, 2008 By
The 2008 F1 Season was probably one of the best for many a year. Thrills, spills, arguments, back-stabbing, overtaking – you name it, F1 had it. But with the world’s economic woes currently biting at the heels of F1 (Honda leaving F1 being the first casualty) this could well be the last F1 season for [...]

Audi R8 Road Test Video
December 6, 2008 By
The Audi R8, launched in the UK in 2007, is Audi’s first foray in to the ‘Supercar’ market. And didn’t they do well? The R8 is probably the only real competitor for the Porsche 911. It offers great build quality and a true supercar driving experience, but couple that with the great build quality and [...]
Rolls Royce Phantom Coupe Road Test Video
December 6, 2008 By
Rolls Royce, since it became part of BMW, has gone from strength to strength. The Rolls Royce Phantom (the saloon of version of this coupe) is possibly the best saloon car in the world, and certainly shows Mercedes Benz with its glitzy Maybach a thing or two about how a super-luxury car should be conceived [...]

2009 Ferrari California Road Test Video
December 6, 2008 By
The Ferrari California is the latest offering from Maranello. Offering for the first time in a Ferrari a trick folding metal roof, the California offers perhaps the most usable Ferrari to date. Aimed at a slightly different market than most Ferraris, the California is aimed fair and square at the high-end offerings from Porsche, Mercedes [...]

Audi R8 V10 to debut at Detroit – Spyder coming soon
December 3, 2008 By
[ad#ad-1] The much anticipated Audi R8 V10 (Audi R10?) is to make its first official appearance at the Detroit Motor Show in January 2009. The R8 has been a massive hit worldwide. It did seem when Audi launched the R8 that it might just be a step too far. How can a mainstream car maker [...]
2009 Mini Convertible Springs In
November 28, 2008 By
It’s been a bit of a ‘Mini-Fest’ this week, what with the Mini E in Berlin and the news that the Mini is the least depreciating car in the UK. And now we have the first official images of the new Mini Convertible, due to hit showrooms in Spring 2009. Based of course on the [...]
