SEAT IBZ Concept – Frankfurt catchup
SEAT showed off the IBZ Concept at Frankfurt – the preview of the SEAT Ibiza Sport Tourer for 2010 / 2011. Shame on us for not covering anything last week on SEAT from the Frankfurt Show. In our defence, we did cover the hot Leon – the SEAT Leon Cupra R – when we first […]
Renault gets suspended ban
Renault has received a 2 year suspended ban from F1 over race fixing in the 2008 Singapore Grand Prix. Briatore banned from F1 and Symonds for 5 years. It looks like they got off lightly.

VW Golf R & Scirocco R – the Video
With the reveal of the VW Golf R at Frankfurt, we have video of both of Volkswagen’s ‘R’ cars – the Golf R & Scirocco R – on video. We got the reveal of the VW Sirocco R back in May. With 265bhp it’s the most powerful Scirocco ever made, and a very good looking […]

Despite the recession, the Frankfurt Motor Show saw new Supercars from Maserati, Lamborghini and Ferrari launched. Yes, the world’s in financial turmoil. No one seems to have any money, and if they have they’re not spending it. So this year’s Frankfurt Motor Show was pretty ‘Green’ in focus. Lots of headlines about electric boxes and […]
Bugatti Galibier based on Bentley Mulsanne
The Bugatti Galibier has some startling similarities to the new Bentley Mulsanne. Is the Galibier a re-skinned Mulsanne? A new Bugatti doesn’t happen every day. A new Veyron special edition may feel like it does, but an entirely new Bugatti is as rare as hen’s teeth. So the reveal last week of the Bugatti Galibier has had […]
BMW Z4M? Sorry, it’s the Z4 M-Sport
BMW won’t be building a Z4M, instead they are testing the Z4 with an M-Sport Package round the Nurburgring I know, these pictures look like BMW is busy testing a Z4M round the Nurburgring. But the Zeitgeist is about show rather than go, so you probably won’t be astonished to learn that rather than dropping a nice […]
