We expected something from Bugatti at Pebble Beach. There was talk that Bugatti may give us some information on the Bugatti Royale / Bordeaux – the four-door super saloon that was speculated and teased a few weeks ago. But there was never going to be an actual car at Pebble Beach. If it even exists […]
Jaguar XE – more detail
It’s been clear ever since Tata took over Jaguar that they have ambitious plans. Yes – in common with every other car maker in the world – they have big financial issues. But Jaguar has now acquired private funding for the business, so things are starting to look up. And they deserve it. If you […]
