Jaguar hasn’t picked an easy niche to compete in. The Germans are kings of the super sport saloon, and it’s a huge task to take them on. The BMW M5 is the obvious competition, but you can throw in the Audi RS6 and the Mercedes E63 AMG in to that mix. The BMW M5 is, […]

Jaguar XFR Review: On the Drive
We review the 5.0 litre Jaguar XFR Supercharged to see if it’s a match for the BMW M5 and Audi RS6. All the Jaguar news of late has been on the new Jaguar XJ. But the car that started the real Jaguar Renaissance was the Jaguar XF, and the halo version of that successful car […]
Alfa Romeo MiTo – the Americans won’t get it
So the Americans won’t get the Alfa Romeo MiTo. At least not yet. We reported recently that Alfa Romeo is to make a comeback in the US after a 20 year absence. Which of course makes perfect sense now that Fiat are calling the shots at Chrysler. But it appears that Alfa Romeo will be […]
Hamilton wins in Hungary
What a difference a few months makes. Hamilton struggled to get his McLaren off the back of the grid at the start of the season, but yesterday in Hungary we saw the Hamilton – and McLaren – we used to know storm in to the lead of the Hungarian Grand Prix and hang on to […]
Nissan Driver Assist – be Michael Schumacher
Cars are getting cleverer by the day, or so it seems. This week, we’ve had the Jaguar XFR on test, and its driver systems are so good it makes even a numpty look like he knows what he’s doing. But Nissan are taking this to the next step, and are introducing Driver -Assist in the […]
De Tomaso fails to sell
Back in January we reported that the assets of De Tomaso were up for grabs to the highest bidder. At that time, we knew that it wasn’t just the trademarks and designs that were up for grabs, but the De Tomaso factory in Modena. At that time it seemed something of a bargain, as the […]

Back in April we exclusively reported that the Spyker D12 Peking to Paris – the long-anticipated SSUV from Spyker – was in fact going to be the Spyker D8. Instead of featuring a V12 as was originally planned, Spyker had decided that they were actually going to fit a Supercharged V8 with something over 550bhp. […]

Mazda RX-8 Facelift – Official
As we reported earlier today, Mazda will be bringing the facelifted Mazda RX-8 to the Frankfurt Motor Show in September.

KTM X-Bow by ABT Sportsline
One thing the bonkers KTM X-Bow isn’t short of is power. But that hasn’t stopped ABT Sportsline from producing a performance pack for the X-Bow, which KTM has endorsed. ABT Sportsline has plenty of experience with VW lumps, having worked on the X-Bow’s 2.0 litre VW turbocharged lump before. This power upgrade takes the standard […]
