In many ways the Geneva Motor Show is a proper launch for the Lotus Evora. Yes, the car has been shown, and Lotus in London actually had an Evora in their showroom in January for a while. But the Evora wasn’t ready to roll at that point, but now its is. And anyway, Lotus are […]
Spyker stretches the C8 Laviolette to make the Spyker C8 Aileron
Spyker has had a heap of problems over the years, not remotely connected to the current ‘Car-Woes’. It has basically struggled to finance what it has been doing. A disastrous flirtation with F1 cost it dear, and it simply struggled to function and get cars out. But those problems faded last year when Spyker got […]
Tata says hello with the Tata Nano Europa
Tata has had a pretty torrid time of late, what with problems in India and the decimation of the world car markets, which has badly affected sales of its recently acquired Land Rover and Jaguar marques. But as we reported last week, they have just landed a huge contract to supply Jaguars and Land Rovers […]
Lagonda are back – Aston Martin revives the Lagonda Marque
Lagonda has a long history. Founded in 1899 and building its first car 10 years later, which makes 2009 Lagonda’s 100th birthday. A fitting time, perhaps, for a revival. Best described as a maker of high-performance luxury cars in the first half of the 20th century, inspired by the involvement in the company of W.O. […]
Koenigsegg Quant – it’s an Electric Car!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Christian Von Koenigsegg is as mad as a hatter. But good mad, not bad mad. He has outrageous ideas, but has the nous to see them through. And the Koenigsegg Quant is some idea. But actually, this isn’t all Christian’s idea. The project stems from a […]
Ferrari 599XX revealed
We mentioned the other day when we were talking about the handling pack for the Ferrari 599 (the HTGE Pack) that Ferrari was also bringing a new car to Geneva – the Ferrari 599XX. We speculated that the 599XX would be in the mould of the FXX series – a track-only development car for uber-rich […]
Maserati GrandTurismo S Auto Geneva unveil
We brought news on the Auto version of the GrandTurismo S last week, but with the actual unveil happening today at the Geneva Motor Show, we thought we’d refresh the information, and add a few show pics and a video! The Maserati Grand Turismo S is a very under rated car. It has oodles of […]
Nissan previews its MAD Qazana Concept
Hard to know what to say! The Qazana is a huge deal for Nissan. And relatively speaking, an even bigger deal for the workforce in Sunderland. So they have to get this sub-Qashqai right, or Nissan will have big problems, and it’ll be like the end of mining in Sunderland in the ’80s again for […]
Aston Martin One-77 WILL Show at Geneva
Autoblog are reporting this morning that our news last week that we’d seen the real Aston Martin One-77, and therefore concluded it was going to show at Geneva, are right. The Aston Martin One-77 is going to be previewed later today at the Motor Show in Geneva. It features a highly tuned (by Cosworth) version […]
Next Generation Ford Focus – the Iosis MAX Concept – previews at Geneva
Despite all its problems, Ford is on something of a roll. It already had a great set of products – seriously under-rated in many cases – and the recent additions of the Ford KA, The Ford Fiesta and the Ford Kuga has added even more credibility to its lineup. But Ford isn’t standing still, and […]
