This is another in the Mazda series of ‘Only in Japan’. But if past history is anything to go by, we got the updates to the Mazda MX-5 a short time after Japan got them, and the same thing happened with the updated Mazda RX-8, so there’s a fair chance Mazda will give the Mazda […]

Audi R8 ePerformance – Electric R8 again
Back in May we reported an industry rumour that Audi were planning to bring an electric R8 Concept to the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

Lamborghini Reventon Roadster – Unofficially Official today
We were beginning to wonder if our exclusive on the Lamborghini Reventon Roadster back in March was going to fall apart. We’d heard that Lamborghini were struggling to find enough punters to stick a deposit on the 9 cars originally planned, and that was accounting for the delay. But it looks like Lamborghini has given […]
Lamborghini LP670-4 SV – Last in the UK
The Lamborghini LP670-4 SV (Super Veloce) was launched earlier this year at the Geneva Motor Show. It is exactly what a Lamborghini should be – dramatic, iconic and very quick.
