Porsche has revealed details of the 620hp Porsche 911 GT2 RS. Just 500 to be made at £164k. We have details, photos and video. It’s just a week since we brought you leaked photos of the new Porsche GT2 RS. But a week is a long time in the modern world of car leaks, and we’d expected Porsche […]
Porsche Panamera – Best selling Porsche in the U.S.
The Porsche Panamera has become the best selling Porsche in the US just months after it launched. The Porsche Panamera elicited pretty much the same response from the Porsche aficionados when it was revealed as the Cayenne did seven years ago – raise arms in horror; shriek about wrecking the brand and proclaim the end of Porsche […]
Land Rover Discovery 4 – Still the best 4×4
Land Rover has won the Diesel Car Magazine award for best 4×4, beating off competition from the Range Rover and Freelander 2. Win-Win for LR. Awards in any aspect of life are nice to have. They’re a validation of what we do; a pat on the back; a feather in the cap. They make you feel good. Which means […]
Ford C-MAX Hybrid and Electric C-MAX in 2013
Ford are planning on introducing a hybrid (C-MAX HEV) and a plug-in (C-MAX PHEV) version of the new C-MAX by 2013. Ford have been concentrating on bringing their current business back from the edge of the abyss for the last year or two, so their plans to join the headlong rush by car makers in […]
Range Rover LRX – the 2WD version
Land Rover has revealed that the new baby Range Rover – codenamed the Range Rover LRX – will be offered in 2WD when it’s revealed later in 2010. We all have to compromise. In an ideal world we’d stick to our principles regardless. But times change and we all need to change with them. Which […]
Aston Martin V12 Vantage – No longer a Limited Edition + V12 Vantage Video
Aston Martin have admitted that the V12 Vantage is no longer a Limited Edition model but part of the Aston Martin Model Range. We love the Aston Martin V12 Vantage, even though we’ve only actually driven the V8 Vantage (4.3 & 4.7 versions). But we know from the difference the 4.7 made to the V8 […]
Peugeot 5008 – Diesel Car of the Year
Peugeot’s latest MPV – the Peugeot 5008 – has won the Diesel Car Magazine Car of the Year. The 3008 and RCZ also picked up awards. There isn’t really a bad car in the Peugeot range at the moment. Well, not a terrible one anyway. Unless you count the Peugeot 807. Which shouldn’t be for […]
Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon (Estate) video walk through
Cadillac have put together a walk-through video of their latest CTS-V – the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. That’s CTS-V Estate to us. Even though we haven’t had a Cadillac CTS-V to play with, we still love it. We know those who have and the feedback is the same – American muscle with Euro handling finesse. Which sounds to […]
Spanish Grand Prix (2010) RESULT
The Spanish Grand Prix had the Red Bulls on the front row and Michael Schumacher well up on the third row. Was that reflected in the result? We finally get back to the real F1 world with the first European race of the 2010/2011 season at Barcelona, a circuit that is probably better known by the drivers […]
Ferrari F1 drops ‘Marlboro’ graphics for Barcelona
Ferrari has decided to end the controversy over ‘subliminal’ advertsing on their F1 car and livery and have removed the ‘Pack of Marlboros’ before Barcelona. A couple of weeks ago we reported that Ferrari have been accused of running subliminal tobacco advertising on their F1 cars, an allegation Ferrari strenuously denied. To be honest we can’t know for sure whether there was an intent […]
