Test drivers for companies like Ferrari and Lamborghini acquire legendary status amongst aficionados. Their input and skills determine, to a great extent, the feel of the car. Their job is to hone the car to perfection on their employer’s test track to extract the very best from their master’s latest creation. And at Lamborghini, Valentino […]

Volvo gunning for Boris over London Congestion Charge
To be entirely accurate, Volvo aren’t actually out to get Boris Johnson, just the ridiculous exemptions policy that exists for London Congestion charging. At present, a wide range of Hybrid cars are exempt from congestion charging. Which does seem odd. On what basis? Because they’re flavour of the month, or because Ken – when he […]
New Jaguar XJ – the last new Jaguar XJ tease?
When Jaguar sent us the last teaser video on the new Jaguar XJ, they promised us faithfully that it was the penultimate one. But as that was less than a week ago, and the new XJ isn’t going to be revealed until 9th July, I have a sneaking suspicion there may be more to come! […]
McLaren F1 for sale – the best one in the world?
As we’ve said before, the McLaren F1 has proved to be not only an incredible car, but a very sound investment. From a selling price of around £600k when they were launched in 1995, you can expect to pay somewhere north of £2 million for one now, and a fair bit more for an exceptional […]
New Ford Ranger at Goodwood – Ford Goodwood News
We tend to think of Goodwood as all high-performance cars and classic cars. But things can and do go wrong, so support vehicles are a necessity. Rolls Royce has supplied a Phantom Coupe to the Goodwood Festival of Speed as the official Course Car, but Ford is supplying a vehicle with a much more prosaic […]
Hyundai guarantee petrol / gas prices
Hyundai is making a real name for itself, not just with a very good range of cars, but also with the way it is capitalising on the Scrappage Schemes in the UK and Europe and the Cash for Clunkers Programme in the US. Hyundai has come out top of the Scrappage Scheme sales in the […]
Fiat 500 – kind to animals and the environment!
We’ve moved on a long way from car adverts that centre around cars driving through fire, with a Stadium Rock soundtrack to get the adrenalin and testosterone flowing. On the whole, they are more considered and/or more humorous (although some – particularly in the States – are still dire). A good example of the current […]
Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 leaked
We’ve seen a raft of new models from Lamborghini this year – or at least derivatives of models – and the latest has just surfaced online – the Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2. If you know anything at all about Lamborghini’s, it won’t take too long to work out that this will be a 550hp V10, but […]
Peugeot 207 facelift revealed
The Peugeot 207 is the best selling small car in Europe, and to keep things fresh Peugeot has just revealed a facelift for the car which will be in UK showrooms in August. There are a plethora of 207 models in hatchback, SW and CC forms, with no less than 12 engine options in total. […]
New Citroen C3 Revealed
Most of the news coming out of Citroen of late has been about the new range of upmarket Citroens – the DS Range. And in a sense so is this, as the new Citroen C3 – which Citroen has just revealed – will be the underpinnings for the upmarket version – the new Citroen DS3. […]
