The Lamborghini Murcielago LP670-4 SV was one of the stars of the Geneva ’09 Motor Show. Pure Lamborghini, from form to function, and probably the last of the real old-school Lamborghinis that will be made. Not surprisingly, even with its limited run, Lamborghini are making the most of the great reception the car received. So […]
New Lagonda Concept on the way
It wasn’t exactly unreserved praise and delight that greeted the launch of the Lagonda Concept at the Geneva Motor Show. At best it was surprise, at worst incredulity that Aston Martin could show something so far removed from everything that Lagonda traditionally represents. But it would seem that David Richards, boss of ProDrive and Aston […]
A Pagani Zonda R For Sale – Track not included!
The Pagani Zonda R is a rare, track-only beast. But one owner has decided to swap in his Zonda R for a Zonda Cinque. As we reported recently, Pagani has finally got round to officially launching the Pagani Zonda R, the ultimate performance Zonda (not that there’s anything wrong with the performance on the Zonda […]
Pagani Zonda F Cinque – er, no it’s not!
Pagani has been threatening to build the Zonda R – a race track only car – for a very long time. Only five were scheduled to be built and all are destined for the Far East. But despite finally getting round to officially unveiling the Zonda R last month, it is probably going to be […]
Gumpert Apollo Speed lands at Geneva
I have to admit, the Gumpert Apollo is not exactly the most subtle of cars. Or the prettiest. But it probably explodes more ferociously (or at least it feels more ferocious) than just about anything on the road. But just in case the standard Gumpert Apollo isn’t mad enough for you, Gumpert also offers the […]
Spyker stretches the C8 Laviolette to make the Spyker C8 Aileron
Spyker has had a heap of problems over the years, not remotely connected to the current ‘Car-Woes’. It has basically struggled to finance what it has been doing. A disastrous flirtation with F1 cost it dear, and it simply struggled to function and get cars out. But those problems faded last year when Spyker got […]
Koenigsegg Quant – it’s an Electric Car!
We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again. Christian Von Koenigsegg is as mad as a hatter. But good mad, not bad mad. He has outrageous ideas, but has the nous to see them through. And the Koenigsegg Quant is some idea. But actually, this isn’t all Christian’s idea. The project stems from a […]
Ferrari 599XX revealed
We mentioned the other day when we were talking about the handling pack for the Ferrari 599 (the HTGE Pack) that Ferrari was also bringing a new car to Geneva – the Ferrari 599XX. We speculated that the 599XX would be in the mould of the FXX series – a track-only development car for uber-rich […]
Aston Martin One-77 WILL Show at Geneva
Autoblog are reporting this morning that our news last week that we’d seen the real Aston Martin One-77, and therefore concluded it was going to show at Geneva, are right. The Aston Martin One-77 is going to be previewed later today at the Motor Show in Geneva. It features a highly tuned (by Cosworth) version […]
Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire – first details
We had a pretty good idea this was coming, as we reported last week, but the Bugatti Veyron Bleu Centenaire has appeared at the Geneva Motorshow last night. Contrary to expectations, it would appear that the Bleu Centenaire carries the stock 1001bhp Veyron engine and not, as was much speculated upon, a boosted version. Still, […]
