Mazda has revealed the track only Mazda MX-5 GT, with 275bhp, 0-60mph in 3 seconds and weighing just 850kg. Back at Frankfurt in 2009, Mazda revealed an MX-5 which had been put on a serious diet – the Mazda MX-5 Superlight – but which was sadly just a concept.

Aston Martin Virage: The Video
The Aston Martin Virage – and Virage Volante – debuted at the Geneva Motor Show this month and we now have the first official video. It’s easy to make fun of the Aston Martin Virage. Easy because, at first glance, it looks like a purely cynical move to pitch a car half way between the Grand Tourer DB9 and the more driver-focused […]
Top Gear China launches +video
It appears that the first episode of Top Gear China has been made. We have a fifteen minute video clip. Well, we’re assuming Top Gear China has launched.

But that wasn’t the only car Porsche revealed […]

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe: The Video
Yesterday saw the reveal of the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe, and today we have a nicely shot video of Mercedes’ potential M3 beater in action. Yesterday saw the official reveal of the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe, ahead of its debut in April at the New York Motor Show. And we may have seemed a tad dismissive. Which […]
