Yes, we’re coming to the end of the life of the Murcielago, which if you didn’t know it already you can tell it’s near from the glut (by Lamborghini standards) of new models. We brought news of the Murcielago LP670-4 SV a few days ago, and now we hear, from Autoblog in the Netherlands, that […]
Skoda Fabia Scout image and details
You’d never guess we’re coming up to a major Euro Motor Show, would you?! Skoda has released details and pictures of the new Skoda Fabia Scout to an expectant public (!) today. But it’s hard to get too excited. On the face of it you expect this to be a rufty-tufy estate, in the mould […]
Hyundai HED-6 proper images surface
After yet more teasing last week on the Hyundai HED-6 concept, Hyundai has done the decent thing and released an actual image. Yippee! I shouldn’t complain really, as all these trickles of information do give us something to write about on a quiet day, but I do in some ways long for the days when […]
Renaultsport Megane teased
These car manufacturers do love to tease. One after another they come up with ways to ‘leak’ a little info, or present us with teaser images (like the Fiat 500C last week). And now Renault are playing the game ahead of the reveal of the Renaultsport Megane at Geneva in a few weeks. Actually, this […]
New McLaren to take on the Audi R8
When Ron Dennis left McLaren F1 recently, he said he wasn’t putting his feet up, but had so many other things to do within McLaren that he’d be busier than ever. We’ve brought various bits of information about the McLaren P11 – the F430 / LP560 size car – recently, a project that will certainly […]
Fiat Abarth 500 lands in UK showrooms
Already hailed by Top Gear as the Hot Hatch of the year, the Abarth is the Fiat 500 we’ve been waiting for, and today it lands in UK showrooms. The 500 has been a triumph for Fiat. A cracking recreation of the original 500, the new 500 conspires to be timeless, classless and affordable. No […]
Rumour: Aston Martin One-77 gets canned – or does it?
Aston Martin is really struggling at the moment. Discounts abound (particularly on ’08 model year cars – you can have a V8 Vantage Roadster for not much over £60k, and a DB9 for £75k), and new car sales are as rare as hens teeth. Not surprisingly, there have been deep job cuts, and the dealer […]
Mercedes E-Class Coupe – It’s official
Mercedes is in the middle of a model designation change. As we reported when we brought you unofficial pictures of the Mercedes E-Class Coupe, it looked like the CLK range was ready for the scrapheap, to be replaced by the E-Class Coupe. Which is now confirmed, with the release of the first official images and […]
The Rolls Royce Phantom gets a tweak
Ever since BMW bought Rolls Royce, the company has been on the up. First we got the Phantom, which showed the world just how special a Rolls Royce of the 21st century could be. The Phantom spawned the Drophead Coupe and more recently the Phantom Coupe. And waiting in the wings is the new ‘Baby’ […]
It must be bad – Mini to shed 850 jobs and slash production
There were a few shining lights in car production last year, despite the economic doom and gloom. Ferrari did well (but we doubt for long), Audi kept growing, Fiat posted record profits and Rolls Royce had a record year. And one company that managed to grow sales was Mini (although an analysis of their sale […]
