We still don’t know what’s going to happen to Saab. According to recent reports, Fiat will take over Saab, but today there has been a denial of this by Saab’s boss, saying there are 10 suitors for Saab, none of whom are Fiat. We’ll have to wait and see. But Saab are still pushing forward, […]
Volvo von Koenigsegg – the Vox Volvo P1800
Mattias Vöcks day job is building Koenigseggs. So he knows a thing or two about top end, powerful and individual cars. And he has the honour of having built what has been declared ‘Sweden’s Hottest Volvo’, a creation of Vöcks, based on a ’67 Volvo Amazon. But now he’s at it again. Vöcks latest creation […]
Nissan 370Z Hybrid in 2011?
It’s no secret that every car maker on the planet is looking at what will and won’t work with eco-cars. From initially starting out as little runarounds, Hybrid and electric cars are now finding their way in to every level of car. We’ve recently told you about the Mercedes S400 Hybrid, and only the other […]
MINI Graphite – yet another MINI limited edition
> They’re all at it. Limited editions offering extra kit for less money seems like a good way to tempt buyers back in to car showrooms. But MINI has been doing this for ever, and if you add up all the variations on the MINI theme, and the models, and the limited editions you end […]
Citroen DS5 Hybrid in 2011
Citroen is working hard to change its image and to bring innovative cars to the marketplace. We reported on the revival of the Citroen DS range back in February, and to be honest we were a little underwhelmed by what Citroen seemed to be doing. It seemed little more than a few tweaks and […]
SEAT Ibiza ECOMOTIVE does 100mpg
Fuel economy figures have improved massively in recent years. 30mpg was once considered pretty reasonable, and anything in the 40s was exceptional (and usually meant driving something totally uninspiring). But with cars like the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic headlining at 76mpg (but probably not in the real world) and economy in the 50s becoming commonplace, we’ve […]
BYD T6 – a 2.0 litre Porsche Cayenne Clone
We do still think of Chinese goods as being cheap rip-offs of Western Goods. But the news yesterday about the next generation electric car battery technology should make us look at what the Chinese are doing in a different light. And then this crops up! BYD, the Chinese car maker responsible for the advances in […]
Fiat Invades Europe! Aims to take over Opel, Vauxhall and Saab
Fiat are busy little bees of late. From being a virtually bankrupt car maker just a few years ago, they are busy rampaging around the world playing ‘White Knight’ to ailing car companies struggling for survival in the crisis that has engulfed the car world. Recently confirmed as the key component in the rescue of […]
Ford Fiesta Sport package announced
With the problems car makers are facing at the moment, and the focus on all things eco, Ford has already made it clear that we are not going to see a Fiesta RS. Which has been a big disappointment to lovers of the fast Fiesta. But Ford has decided that they at least need to […]
BYD E6 – Next Gen Electric Car battery technology
Chinese car maker BYD unveiled their Electric saloon car – the E6 – at the recent Shanghai Motor Show, and to be honest we didn’t take that much notice. Just another Chinese car maker launch and nothing that would massively interest our readers. But we were wrong. The biggest problem with electric cars (or one […]
