Peugeot revealed their 308 RC Z Concept at the Frankfurt Motor Show back in 2007. But despite being spotted from time to time out testing it hasn’t seemed to get any closer to production. But that looks set to change going off these latest spy shots, which show the RC Z little changed from the […]

Gemballa Mirage GT Matt
Yep, it’s yet another in the list of modified Porsche Carrera GTs from Porsche specialist Gemballa. This time it’s another Mirage GT – the Matt Edition. I’ve said it before, but there has to come a point when Gemballa run out of Porsche Carrera GTs to play with. Only 1270 Carrera GTs were ever made, […]
GTbyCitroen does London
I suppose we shouldn’t be surprised when news stories on cars, particularly new cars, seem to come one on top of another. After all, for the majority of stories the car maker is building up an appetite for the new car, so wants to keep feeding stuff out. And so it has been lately with […]
Vauxhall Insignia VXR – UK Debut at Goodwood
The Vauxhall Insignia VXR gets launched on an expectant public in July, and as a prelude to that Vauxhall are taking the VXR to the Goodwood Festival of Speed for its first UK public outing. The Vauxhall Insignia VXR was revealed in April as a 325bhp version of the very good Insignia. Featuring adaptive four […]
Top Gear Stig is Michael Schumacher – the Update
It is nice to be ahead of the game. We received umpteen emails after we ran a story last week about Top Gear revealing the identity of the Stig as Michael Schumacher in the opening episode of the new series. It is astonishing how much people love the show (but we include ourselves in that). […]
Fiat 500C Convertible – The Video
The first UK Fiat 500s arrive this week, ready for the launch, and that has no doubt inspired Fiat to send us a set of three short videos of the 500C, which we’ve strung together for you at the end. Apart from a few decent days, Summer hasn’t really got under way in the UK. […]
Rolls Royce Ghost – the Configurator
Things are certainly moving at a quicker pace with the Rolls Royce Ghost now it’s getting close to its official production reveal at Frankfurt in September (although the lucky few will see the RR Ghost unveiled in Cannes on July 2nd). We’ve seen a few virtually undisguised Ghosts recently (the best of which is above) […]
Electric Smart (EV) to go in to production
Smart has been trialing its Smart EV for the last couple of years in the UK, with customers paying £375 per month for the joy of being a guinea pig for the little city car in electric form. Which actually seems like a huge amount of money to me, especially considering the benefits for Mercedes […]
Red Bull 1-2 at Silverstone
I guess it was too much to ask that Brawn GP should duplicate their form so far this year at their home Grand Prix. Was the pressure too much? Probably that played a small part, but the real key was the astonishing performance of the Red Bulls. Red Bull brought a newly upgraded car to […]
Honda Civic Type R – Mugen steps in
The old Honda Civic Type R was a really cracking hot-hatch. Not only did it handle well (even if it did have the habit of playing on three wheels if pushed), it went well and it was, as you would expect from a Honda, very well bolted together. But the latest version of the Type […]
