Bentley has added an extra option to the limited edition Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible ISR – the ISR Mulliner option featuring red details and side graphics. Back in February, before the Geneva Motor Show, we got a tip that Bentley were going to build a limited edition Supersports Convertible to celebrate the World Ice Speed Record, set in a Bentley […]
Bristol Cars bought by Frazer Nash – Bristol EV planned
Bristol Cars, makers of eccentric British Supercars, has been bought by one-time rivals Frazer Nash, saving them from Bankruptcy At the start of the month we ran a story that Bristol Cars had been bought by a Chinese Tractor Company. Which, although slightly unlikely, seemed entirely plausible. Entirely plausible simply because China is on a […]
Project Kahn’s Wills & Kate Maybach 57
Project Kahn has created a Maybach 57 Special Edition to commemorate the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton, complete with the ‘4 HRH’ number plate. The last time we invited the world to a Royal Wedding involving an heir to the throne, Prince Charles married Lady Diana Spencer. But that was in 1981, when […]
2012 Subaru Impreza debuts at New York
The 2012 Subaru Impreza has been launched at the New York Motor Show. On sale in the UK later in 2012 we will only get the hatch, not the saloon. We had what we thought was a taster of the 2012 Subaru Impreza back at the Los Angeles Motor Show in November when we saw […]
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport & Super Sport China specials
Bugatti has shown two Chinese customer cars at the Shanghai Motor Show, a carbon fibre Veyron Super Sport & a Matte White Veyron Grand Sport. Really, we don’t need to look at economic groups of nations – like the G8 or G20 – to judge how affluent a country is, or is becoming. We should just look which countries buy a […]
Nissan LEAF World Car of the Year 2011
In another astonishing case of worshipping at the alter of false hope, the World Car of the Year has been awarded to the Nissan LEAF. Just as the European Car of the Year Award was. Why do judges on COTY Award panels persist in considering a car like the Nissan LEAF for such awards? How can it […]
Mugen Honda CR-Z to be supercharged
The Mugen Honda CR-Z special planned to show at the Goodwood Festival of Speed this year will get a supercharger and deliver 200bhp – and still be a hybrid. We’re not the biggest fans of the Honda CR-Z, despite it being a decent-looking car. It’s a car born out of the necessity for Honda to […]
2012 Jaguar XK debuts at New York +video
Jaguar has revealed the 2012 Jaguar XK at the New York Motor Show, with a refresh to the nose, the tail and the interior for 2012. It’s not as big an overhaul as the 2012 Jaguar XF, but Jaguar has sensibly had a play to freshen up the XK and keep it looking crisp for a while […]
2012 Volvo S60 & XC60 R-Design get more oomph
Volvo US has revealed a power boost for the Volvo S60 T6 and XC60 T6 R-Design, which will get an extra 25bhp and a raft of tweaks for the 2012MY. We’re quite partial to the Volvo S60 (actually, we’re even more partial to the Volvo V60) and we like how Volvo’s R-Design pack makes a […]
2012 Jaguar XF: New XF & XFR New York reveal
Jaguar reveals the 2012 Jaguar XF and XFR at the 2011 New York Motor Show, with a raft of small changes and the new, 2.2 litre diesel XF. Update: We now also have video of the 2012 Jaguar XF and the 2012 XFR below. Exactly as expected, and with pretty much all the changes we predicted, […]
