Mercedes has had stick in the past for playing with its ‘Toy Car’, the Smart. What was a quality maker like Mercedes doing involved with a car the size of the boot on an S Class Mercedes and named after a watch maker (the name stands for Swatch Mercedes Art)? Don’t get me wrong; there […]
Volvo gets a lifeline from the Swedish Government
Life is cruel for Scandinavian car makers. Both Saab and Volvo fell under the control of now beleaguered US car makers (GM and Ford respectively) and now both the US companies want out. But there is a difference. GM has effectively abandoned Saab, leaving the quirky Swedish car maker at the mercy of the Swedish […]
Bentley Continental Supersports – The fastest Bentley EVER!
It’s official. Cars UK are now Green Car Fans. How could it be any different. The Bentley Continental Supersports is the fastest Bentley ever made, and it has solid green credentials to boot. A perfect combination. Bentley has released details of the car we knew was coming. Much trumpeting by Bentley over recent months about […]
Aston Martin DBS Volante – Just in time for Summer!
After a break on the embargo on the details of the DBS Volante earlier today, Aston Martin has decided to give us the details on the new car ahead of the launch at Geneva next week. As you would expect, it looks wonderful. Still the same gorgeous shape as the coupe, but with a dose […]
Aston Martin One-77 – the real McCoy spotted
Just last week we ran a story that’s doing the rounds about Aston Martin pulling the plug on its £1,000,000 supercar, the One-77. Now that in itself is not a huge shock considering the state of the economy and the likely state of Aston Martin’s cashflow at the moment. But what was a big surprise […]
Koenigsegg Quant – A 4 door supercar
Christian Von Koenigsegg doesn’t do things by halves. Oh, no. A super wunderkid – massively wealthy from entrepreneurial escapades in his 20s – he produces what many would consider to be the ultimate supercar – the Koenigsegg CCXR Edition. Sporting over 1000bhp, the car explodes in a way nothing else on the roads today can. […]
Bugatti Veyron Centenaire heads for Geneva – Rumour!
I have to say rumour, because Bugatti are not exactly reliable with information! We’ve heard rumours before that they are producing a ‘Sang Noir’ version of the Targa-Topped Grand Sport, but they’ve gone quiet on that. But now we’re hearing solid rumours, as Bugatti is 100 years old this year, that they are going to […]
Volvo extends its range of DRIVe Eco cars
It really is remarkable what car makers can do when pushed. After years of thirsty cars, more and more manufacturers are showing us what can be done when they make a real effort in this direction (and not always at the expense of performance), and the latest is Volvo, which has extended its range of […]
Kia No. 3 Concept to show
Hyundai has been taking all the glory in the Korean car makers race to the top. We liked the Hyundai i20 when we reviewed it recently, and Hyundai has taken the bold step of using its European design group to bring its cars more clearly in to focus for the European and world market. The […]
Audi TT-RS – Officially Official this time!
It’s a good job we’re not print media here at Cars UK Towers. If we were, we’d have got through at least half a rainforest in the last few days bringing you information on the new Audi TT-RS. First the teaser images of the TT-RS from Audi themselves, then some moody black and whites which […]
