Ford has announced the Ford Mondeo Sport, a limited edition model (just 3,000 being produced) with £2,000 of extra kit for only £300 extra. We’re almost up to the next plate change in the UK (60 reg out next month) and Ford are getting out the marketing tools to tempt buyers in to showrooms. One of the […]
Mitsubishi i-MiEV UK price drop – Battery Wars!
Mitsubishi has slashed the price of their plug-in electric car – the Mitsubishi i-MiEV – in order to compete with the likes of Nissan’s LEAF. With Mitsubishi getting in to mainstream electric cars before any other big car maker with the Mitsubishi i-MiEV, they had a big advantage. They were the first to mass-produce an electric car; […]
Bugatti Veyron Super Sport: More details & new photos
Bugatti has sent us more details on the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport and a pile of new photos. Thanks to a friend of Cars UK with a healthy appetite for hypercars (and the bank balance to indulge his lust) we were able to break the news to the world that Bugatti were building the […]
Enzo Ferrari: Twin turbo & 1000 hp
A wrecked Enzo Ferrari has been rebuilt as a 1000 hp, twin turbo Salt Flats racer and will be at Bonneville’s Speed Week. There’s an argument that messing with a limited edition hypercar is sacrilege. And, to a degree, we sympathise with those who consider the pimping of an Enzo Ferrari by the likes of Uwe […]
Bentley Continental GT 2011 Teased +video
Bentley has launched a micro site to herald the launch of the 2011 Bentley Continental GT on 7th September. It’s not going to come as a shock to regular readers to learn that Bentley are giving the evergreen Continental GT a nip and a tuck for 2011. We reported on the Continental GT facelift as […]
Peugeot 207 CC GT THP 156 Review & Road Test (2010) Part 3
The final part of our review and road test of the Peugeot 207 CC GT THP 156. A good little drop-top supermini, or not? Apart from it’s lack of room in the back, this particular 207 CC delivers more than you expect. It delivers some decent leather upholstery, SatNav and climate control. It all adds […]
Peugeot 207 CC GT THP 156 Review & Road Test (2010) Part 2
Part 2 of our week long review and road test of the top of the range Peugeot 207 CC – the Peugeot 207 CC GT THP 156. The top’s down on the first drive, and close to home are some of my favourite twisty roads; roads I know well and for which I have a […]
Peugeot 207 CC GT THP 156 Review & Road Test (2010)
This week we have Peugeot’s drop top supermini – the Peugeot 207 CC GT THP 156 – in for a review and road test. Style over substance, or a fun little drop-top? The sun is actually shining, although it was raining earlier. The rain was expected, if for no other reason than we’ve got a […]
Jaguar XJ Sentinel – the armoured XJ
Jaguar is launching an armoured version of the new XJ – the Jaguar XJ Sentinel – at the Moscow Motor Show this month. Sentinel: One who keeps guard. An appropriate name for an armoured Jaguar XJ, although it reminds me of junk mail plopping on the mat from a company desperate to offer me protection for my credit […]
Saab 9-4X to debut at LA Motor Show
The Saab 9-4X SUV / Crossover will make its production ready debut at the LA Auto Show in November. Eighteen months ago we reported that the Saab 9-4X was getting close to production. Of course, since that report in February 2009 Saab has been a bit busy escaping the clutches of GM, but has now […]
