An update on the NLV Quant – which was shown at Geneva ’09 as the Koenigsegg Quant – ahead of its showing at Geneva 2010. Last week we ran a story on Koenigsegg taking somethig new to Geneva after we’d had a chat with them. But part of that story was on last year’s Koenigsegg […]
Audi R8 Spyder – V8 in the pipeline?
Audi are reported to be planning to produce an R8 Spyder with a V8 engine. Will they use the setup from the new RS5 complete with DCT ‘box? We finally got the Audi R8 Spyder at the Frankfurt Motor Show last year. And it was worth the wait. Audi decided that as a halo car […]
Skoda Fabia & Skoda Roomster (2010) facelift at Geneva
Skoda has revealed a 2010 facelift for both the Fabia and Roomster – and a new range of engines – which will debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Skoda are taking the term ‘Facelift’ quite literally with the 2010 Skoda Fabia (and 2010 Skoda Fabia Estate) and the 2010 Skoda Roomster. They’ve grafted on a […]
Mansory Rolls Royce Ghost. Ugh!! (except the oily bits)
Mansory have created the Mansory Ghost, a beautifully tweaked but appallingly rendered and customised Rolls Royce Ghost. Let’s get it out of the way first.

Bridgestone Potenza S001 – standard on 458 Italia & Rapide +video
A bit of VT of the latest tyre from Bridgestone – the Bridgestone Potenza S001 – as fitted to the Aston Martin Rapide and the Ferrari 458 Italia.

MINI Countryman (2010/2011) – the ‘MTV’ Video
MINI has launched a video for the MINI Countryman. A sort of cross between a car advert and an MTV video. But worth the watch. As you can’t have failed to notice, MINI revealed the MINI Countryman to the world last month and we had a heap of MINI Countryman photos. And despite the fact […]
Spyker Saab deal finalised
The official transfer of Saab to Spyker has now been completed and production of the new Saab 9-5 can begin in earnest.

Abarth 500C: Hot Fiat Convertible at Geneva
Fiat has finally got round to announcing a convertible version of the Abarth 500 – the Abarth 500C – which will debut at Geneva. It’s taken Fiat a very long time to catch up with the story we ran in July last year. We’d heard that Fiat were planning a hot version of the hugely […]

Pagani are taking the last of the Zondas to the Geneva Motor Show – the Pagani Zonda Cinque Roadster – probably the last time a Zonda will be at a major motor show. Most of the stories we’ve had recently on Pagani have been on the Pagani C9, which will be revealed in September once […]
