Tesla has revealed that the Tesla Model S will start at $49,500 after subsidy, rising to $69,500 for the 300 mile battery model. Think similar numbers in GBP or Euros. We’ve been less than charitable about Tesla’s stated aim to bring the Model S in as a sub $50k car. It seemed – with the […]

Citroen DS3: Making the most of the Top Gear COTY Award
Citroen are making the most of the accolades the DS3 has received, in particular the Top Gear Car of the Year Award. Those who don’t ‘Get’ cars like to call us Petrolheads. They think it’s a disparaging term. But it’s not. They also think that being a Petrolhead means you’re only interested in the fastest; […]
2011 Jaguar XKR-S: The Video
Jaguar revealed the 2011 Jaguar XKR-S at Geneva and we have video of the fastest production car ever from Jaguar, on the road and on the track. There was a time – not so very long ago – that Jaguar wouldn’t have been ‘allowed’ to build the barnstorming Jaguar XKR-S. It would have been seen as just too good. Too much […]
MINI go Rallying: MINI WRC Video
MINI are going rallying with the MINI Countryman in WRC in 2011 and we’ve got video of the MINI WRC in action. ‘Old’ Mini – that’s Mini without all the capital letters – ‘owned’ rallying for a period in the 1960s. Particularly the Monte Carlo Rally, which it won in 1964, 1965 and 1967. Names […]
Toyota Hybrid Sales top 3 Million
Toyota has revealed that they have now produced more than 3 million hybrid cars. That’s a whole 0.6% of cars produced. Who’d have thought it? Toyota has managed to sell more than 3 million Hybrid cars since the first Toyota Prius launched in Japan in 1997. Congratulations. Back then, few thought of climate change and it seems likely that the […]
Pagani Huayra: Official Video
We have the first video of the new Pagani Huayra on the move, driving through glorious countryside to evocative music. It’s been a busy month or so for the Pagani Huayra. We had all the Huayra teases and the first of the photos well before the official reveal at Geneva. And to say the response was subdued is probably […]
Lexus LS 600h L Review & Road Test (2011) Part 3
The concluding part of our review of the Lexus LS 600h. Is it a serious luxury car option, or a rather pointless hybrid statement? The entire raison d’être of the LS 600h is as a car to be driven in. As a passenger the LS 600h is hard to fault. It’s quiet, comfortable and very stable. Despite being ‘Soft’ […]
Lexus LS 600h L Review & Road Test (2011) Part 2
In part 2 of our review of the Lexus LS 600h we ask if, even though it may not be a driver’s car, can the LS 600h hustle and is there any joy in the drive? With an ‘h’ tagged to the end of its name – and the Lexus predilection for all things hybrid […]
Lexus LS 600h L Review & Road Test (2011)
We spend a week with the Lexus LS 600h to review and road test. Is the first hybrid luxury car in a league of its own, or a bit of a let down? For a car with a made-up name and a short history, Lexus has made a real impact. Now perceived by few as being just the […]
Fisker to sell 7,000 Karmas this year. On any particular planet?
Fisker are planning to get the first Fisker Karma to customers by July 2011, and expect to sell 7,000 this year. which seems a bit far fetched. The Fisker Karma does look an impressive car. And it promises a great deal, even if it has been promising a great deal to come very soon for a very long […]
