McLaren have taken the track version of the MP4-12 C – the McLaren MP4-12C GT3 – of to Silverstone for a bit of tack time. We have the video. There’s nothing quite like a bit of track success to boost car sales. From the prosaic to the extraordinary, car makers love the lift a bit of […]

CPP buys Bowler Offroad
CPP Global Holdings Ltd has taken over Bowler Offroad, makers of bonkers offroad racers. Production will move to CPP in Coventry. Goodness, CPP Manufacturing are busy little bees at the moment. No sooner do we learn that CPP has bought Spyker Cars (well, strictly speaking it’s CPP Global Holdings Ltd who are hoovering up with […]
Ferrari FF: Lust on a mountain top
Ferrari has enlisted the Italian Air Fore to helicopter a Ferrari FF up a mountain at the ski resort of Plan De Corones ahead of press drives. Ferrari are taking no chances on the Ferrari FF disappearing from view in the mass of launches and endless four wheeled objects of desire doing the rounds with the […]
Aston Martin V8 Vantage S: The Video
We have video footage of Aston Martin’s new Vantage – the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S – on track at the Ascari Circuit in Spain. We’re always up for a bit of Aston Martin goodness, so we were more than happy to report in January that Aston Martin has added a bit of extra oomph to the […]

Briggs Automotive Company has revealed the BAC Mono, a single-seat road racer with a 2.8 second 0-60mph and 170mph. Costs £67k +tax. No, Battersea Arts Centre hasn’t suddenly gone in to the car business, and nor has BAC Windows. This BAC is Briggs Automotive Company and they’ve built the BAC Mono, said to be the first single-seater production […]
BMW i8 Spied
We have a spy photo of the new BMW i8, the £150k eco-supercar bound for a showroom near you in 2013. Just the other day we brought you the BMW i3 out playing in Scandinavia so, to complete the set, we thought we’d add to that with the BMW i8 doing exactly the same. These […]
Volvo C30: now starts under £15k
Volvo has cut the entry-level Volvo C30 – the C30 ES 2.0 – to £14,995. A much more encouraging entry point. It’s been all change at Volvo in the last year, with the Swedish car maker going from being the last vestige of Ford’s ill-fated Premier Auto Group to the first high-profile car maker to fall to […]
Lagonda back on
Aston Martin has revealed that they are pushing ahead with the relaunch of Lagonda and that there will be a Lagonda SUV. To be honest, we’re not too sure that Lagonda was actually ‘Off’ after a rather disastrous debut at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show with their antimacassar-endowed, cushion-boasting Lagonda SUV Concept. We’d just assumed it. But […]
2011 Infiniti G37 updates & plans to double sales
Infiniti has revealed a revamped Infiniti G37 – Saloon Coupe & Convertible – for 2011 and has plans to double sales in Europe. It’s not five minutes since Infiniti introduced the G37 – a 3-Series size car – to the UK and Europe, but already they’re tweaking and titivating to make it more appealing. The […]
BMW i3 spied
The BMW i3 has been spied out filming for BMW TV in Scandinavia. We have the first photo of the MegaCity i3 due in 2013. Just a few weeks on from the launch of BMW’s new “i” sub-brand, and we have the first spy photo of the BMW i3 out and about in the Scandinavian […]
