Fiat launches the Eco-Drive Challenge
Fiat are on something of a roll at the moment. Having made actual profits in 2008 (a rarity in itself in this climate) and subsequently taking a big stake in Chrysler (which with the state Chysler is in at the moment really means Fiat is in charge), they are up there with Audi as an […]

BMW Alpina D3 BiTurbo – a great diesel
Alpina and tuned BMWs are synonymous. Alpina has turned out some stunning versions of the BMW range over the years (and some not so stunning – their 8 Series springs to mind) and they fill a gap that is either not profitable in small volume for BMW or, in some cases, a hole that BMW […]

It looks like Citroen have made their minds up to launch a new range of green, eco cars, based on the C-Cactus Concept that first turned up at Frankfurt in 2007. This is the second new Citroen ‘Brand’ that has turned up lately; we had the new Citroen ‘DS’ cars trumpeted last month and on […]
Lamborghini LP650-4 Roadster – looks like it’s official
We’ve had plenty to say about the LP670-4 SV recently – what a cracking car. But we’d almost forgotten about the Lamborghini Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster we brought news on last month. But it looks like it’s official now, as we’ve just been sent some Lamborghini pictures of the new Murcielago LP650-4 Roadster. Just like the […]
