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.

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 […]

Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire – first details
We had a pretty good idea this was coming, as we reported last week, but the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire has appeared at the Geneva Motorshow last night.
