Here we go again. Yesterday we reported on the Nurburgring record claimed by Gumpert for the Apollo S, an extremely impressive 7:11.5. But we did mention – or rather said we’d better not mention – Radical’s time of 6:55 set a few years ago. Well, Radical have rather rubbed Gumpert’s face in it by turning […]
Porsche BlueSport back on
The changing fortunes at Porsche are bringing fresh thoughts on the future of Stuttgart. It’s not very long since Porsche stated that they would not build a BlueSport Porsche, but it looks like the new Porsche boss Martin Winterkorn has very different ideas. But as the boss of VW, that’s hardly surprising. In an interview […]
Porsche gets raided by the Rozzers!
Not having a good time of things lately, the boys in Stuttgart. First Porsche effectively go bust trying to take over Volkswagen, and now the Rozzers have been in to turn the place over. Oh, dear. Porsche has announced that this morning, officials from the public prosecutor’s office in Stuttgart with judicial search warrants arrived […]
Tesla Roadster Sport – fresh photos
Tesla has had its fair share of negative headlines in the last year, from the Tesla spat with Top Gear through to the incredulity when Tesla announced the Tesla Model S was going to cost $50k. But there has been good news for Tesla as well. Mercedes bought a 10% stake in Tesla earlier this […]
VW Tiguan Review – the People’s Final lineup
We’ve reported a few times over the last few months on VW’s campaign to find an amateur reviewer (and to raise the profile of the VW Tiguan in the process) and they now seem to have got together a final lineup before a verdict gets announced this coming weekend. In the final heat, Harriet Gore […]

We had the Portuguese commit to Electric Cars a while back and Boris wants to make London the Electric Car Capital of Europe. And out own national Government wants to throw £5k at electric […]
Noble M600 new photos
When we brought you news on Monday of the new Noble M600 the only photos we had to hand were a set of fairly low-resolution ones we had from Noble, but Noble has now got some decent resolution images over to us, which you can see in the Noble M600 Gallery at the bottom. We […]
Gumpert Apollo S sets Nurburgring record +video
Every car maker on the planet seems to obsessed with breaking a Nurburgring record. And who can blame them. Every time a new claim comes in people like us write about it, and that gives them publicity that would cost a fortune to buy. Probably the biggest spat this year has been over the Nissan […]
Frankfurt Motor Show 2009 Preview
A preview of the launches we expect at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show. Updated as we get more information. As you will already have realised from the number of pieces we’ve done lately that have ‘Frankfurt’ in the title, the Frankfurt Motor Show 2009 is looming quickly. And we’ve not even had summer yet (apart […]
Aston Martin Rapide – the Video
There really are some big advantages of having been in the car news game for a long, long time. Cars UK is a relative newcomer compared in particular to people like Autocar, which is about as old as car magazines get. Which probably explains why Autocar editor Steve Cropley was lucky enough to find himself […]
