World Debut of the Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder PEBBLE BEACH, California (15 August 2009) – Spyker Cars, manufacturer of exclusive, hand-crafted sports cars since 2000, today introduced the first prototype of the Spyder version of its all-new second-generation sports car, the Spyker C8 Aileron. The Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder was unveiled at the Spyker lounge […]
Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder – Pebble Beach Debut
As we saw back at Geneva earlier this year, Spyker has stretched and sorted the Spyker C8 to make the Spyker Aileron. And why is that important to Spyker? Simple. Big American bums (‘bums’ in the English sense, not the American!). Americans didn’t fit in to the elegant – but dinky – Spyker C8. So […]
Infiniti M launches at Pebble Beach
Infiniti, Nissan’s answer to Lexus, is launching the new Infiniti M at Pebble Beach this weekend. But it won’t actually be there. As we reported recently, the Infiniti M is to be a ‘Virtual’ reveal, with digital projectors throwing the imagary on to a foam ‘Shape’ of the new Infiniti M. Cute idea, but why […]
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu unveiled at Pebble Beach
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 […]
Infiniti Essence Concept kicks off Pebble Beach
This weekend sees the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance event, showcasing some of the geatest cars – past and presen -, in a great setting. It’s the US equivalent of the Salon Prive event or Villa D’Este. Super Cars. Super Place. Super Time. This year’s event at Pebble Beach has kicked off with a gala dinner […]
Veritas RS III price confirmed +video
Vermot AG first previewed the Veritas RS III as far back as 2001. But just lately it’s clear it is just about ready to roll, and the Veritas RS III was at Salon Prive this year. And a stunning thing it is. It looks like a Sci-Fi creation of a 1940s race car, and there […]
Porsche Cayenne II (2010) Spied
Despite all the criticisms about its looks – and the ‘sacrilege’ of an SUV from Porsche – the Porsche Cayenne has been an unmitigated success for Porsche. Powerful, able and feeling nothing like an SUV to drive, it is a great car – just not particularly pretty. But it’s been six year since the Cayenne […]
Gemballa Mistrale Porsche Panamera revealed
We’re used to Uwe Gemballa and the boys churning out Porsche Carrera GT special editions by the shed load, not to mention more than a handful of special edition Porsche Cayennes. Just this year we’ve had the Gemballa Tornado 750 GTS – a madly powerful Porsche Cayenne with 750bhp – and the Gemballa Mirage GT […]
Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake Fake +video
Well, we got sent an email – actually, more than one – on the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake. And although we were pretty sceptical we decided – after the third or fourth drip of information – that there might be something in it. So we reported last week on the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake which […]
