We reported a couple of weeks ago on rumours flying around about a four-door Bugatti, which would either be the Bordeaux or the Royale. It’s nice to speculate, and the speculation – which has been around forever – did have some substance. Bugatti had issued an invite to Veyron owners to an event, and the […]
2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Video
It looks a bit like John got out of bed on the wrong side this morning judging by the piece he did on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. But then has a big hang-up about what he sees as unnecessary weight saving. But being a fat old man that’s hardly surprising! He still bangs […]

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (2010) bows in
Hot on the heels of the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo comes the announcement this morning from Porsche of the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A subtle looking Porsche. As you can probably guess, the first thing the latest GT3 RS gets is a hike in power, courtesy of the move from the old naturally […]
Noble M600 arrives
It’s been on the cards for a while, the Noble M600. We’ve seen umpteen spy shots and we recently reported the Noble M600 testing in what looked like production-ready guise, so we guessed it wouldn’t be too far away. And it wasn’t. I think this is what is called ‘Going up-market’. The M600 is going […]

SEAT Leon Cupra R at Frankfurt
Back in April we reported the launch of the SEAT Leon Cupra, which promised to be a cracking car. But then came rumours of a more powerful SEAT Leon Cupra, which would sport the same 265bhp engine as the VW Scirroco R. We thought it might be too soon after the Leon Cupra. But we […]
Fisker Karma drives Laguna Seca
We’re becoming a bit blasé about the accomplishments of modern car technology. We blithely moan about the lack of the ‘Drive’ in cars like the Toyota Prius, and complain when cars ‘only’ do 50mpg. How times change. But unhappy as we are at Cars UK with the world’s obsession with all things green – and […]
Veyron Sang Bleu the last limited edition
We’ve taken the ‘michael’ out of the number of Bugatti Veyron limited editions there are. Which is hardly surprising considering the number of cars Bugatti has built, and how many limited editions there are. To date, Bugatti has built around 250 Veyrons. And in that 250 have been seemingly endless special editions, including the Sang […]
Koenigsegg buys Saab – Deal done!
KoenigSaab is official. We knew back in June that Koenigsegg had signed a Memorandum of Understanding to buy Saab from beleaguered GM. But in the last week or so there have been rumblings that the deal may be in trouble after one of Koenigsegg’s investors sold their shares. But this morning comes official confirmation that […]
