There really are some big advantages of having been in the car news game for a long, long time. Cars UK is a relative newcomer compared in particular to people like Autocar, which is about as old as car magazines get. Which probably explains why Autocar editor Steve Cropley was lucky enough to find himself […]
Bugatti Bordeaux / Royale looking likely
We reported a couple of weeks ago on rumours flying around about a four-door Bugatti, which would either be the Bordeaux or the Royale. It’s nice to speculate, and the speculation – which has been around forever – did have some substance. Bugatti had issued an invite to Veyron owners to an event, and the […]
2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS Video
It looks a bit like John got out of bed on the wrong side this morning judging by the piece he did on the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS. But then has a big hang-up about what he sees as unnecessary weight saving. But being a fat old man that’s hardly surprising! He still bangs […]

Porsche 911 GT3 RS (2010) bows in
Hot on the heels of the new 2010 Porsche 911 Turbo comes the announcement this morning from Porsche of the 2010 Porsche 911 GT3 RS. A subtle looking Porsche. As you can probably guess, the first thing the latest GT3 RS gets is a hike in power, courtesy of the move from the old naturally […]
Noble M600 arrives
It’s been on the cards for a while, the Noble M600. We’ve seen umpteen spy shots and we recently reported the Noble M600 testing in what looked like production-ready guise, so we guessed it wouldn’t be too far away. And it wasn’t. I think this is what is called ‘Going up-market’. The M600 is going […]
Veyron Sang Bleu the last limited edition
We’ve taken the ‘michael’ out of the number of Bugatti Veyron limited editions there are. Which is hardly surprising considering the number of cars Bugatti has built, and how many limited editions there are. To date, Bugatti has built around 250 Veyrons. And in that 250 have been seemingly endless special editions, including the Sang […]
Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder Press Release
World Debut of the Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder PEBBLE BEACH, California (15 August 2009) – Spyker Cars, manufacturer of exclusive, hand-crafted sports cars since 2000, today introduced the first prototype of the Spyder version of its all-new second-generation sports car, the Spyker C8 Aileron. The Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder was unveiled at the Spyker lounge […]
Spyker C8 Aileron Spyder – Pebble Beach Debut
As we saw back at Geneva earlier this year, Spyker has stretched and sorted the Spyker C8 to make the Spyker Aileron. And why is that important to Spyker? Simple. Big American bums (‘bums’ in the English sense, not the American!). Americans didn’t fit in to the elegant – but dinky – Spyker C8. So […]
Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport Sang Bleu unveiled at Pebble Beach
We expected something from Bugatti at Pebble Beach. There was talk that Bugatti may give us some information on the Bugatti Royale / Bordeaux – the four-door super saloon that was speculated and teased a few weeks ago. But there was never going to be an actual car at Pebble Beach. If it even exists […]
