The world and his dog seem to have it in for high-powered, thirsty and ostentatious cars (or probably, closer to the truth, those who can’t afford them now feel they have an excuse to deride and denigrate them without looking green-gilled), so car makers are looking at ways to appease the rising tide of antipathy […]
Porsche 998 (911) caught testing
The current version of the 911 has not long been refreshed, and still has more to deliver. Only the Carrera and Targa have had the facelift so far, and still to come is the Turbo, not to mention the GT3. But Porsche is already a long way down the road with the next generation 911 […]
Porsche GT3 RSR updated for 2009
The venerable 911 continues to succeed in great part because Porsche lavishes so much love and care on it. Constantly developed, and used to race in the real world, the Porsche 911 is the most perfect example of ‘Motoring Evolution’. One big area Porsche utilises to develop the constant progression of the 911 is its […]
Nissan GT-R 4 Door Saloon
The Nissan GT-R has been a runaway success for Nissan. Incredible performance, unbelievable handling and a price point that makes every other supercar maker’s prices look ridiculous. But Nissan admits that the GT-R is a loss-maker, which is hardly a surprise. So what can they do to capitalise on the kudos surrounding the GT-R? The […]
Zonda R officially unveiled
Pagani has come a long way in a decade, from a real pretender to mixing it with the big boys. The Zonda has been an complete success (even if money has been a bit tight from time to time!) and is an incredible car to drive, and to be seen driving, whether you’re in an […]
The case of the disappearing Lambos
Now this should have rung an alarm bell or two at the time, but it seems it didn’t. Back in November the world’s largest Lamborghini dealership – Lamborghini Orange County – turned up its toes and closed the doors, apparently a victim of the downturn in car sales. Not the oddest story in these times […]
Audi R8 V10 – Cheaper than we thought
The magnificent Audi R8 V10 was officially launched at Detroit this week (although we brought you details on the R8 V10 over a month ago!), and it will cause some real problems for car manufacturers at this level – most noticeably Porsche. Which could be a problem, as Porsche owns Audi! The R8 V10 seems […]
Lamborghini Ad Personam in Detroit
No, it’s not a new model, Lamborghini has nothing new to offer at the moment. But at least it went to Detroit, which is more than we can say for some other high profile names! So what’s ‘Ad Personam’? Simple; Lamborghini’s personalisation programme for its cars, which it is showing to quite good effect at […]
Nissan GT-R SpecV arrives
We did a review of the Nissan GT-R recently, and found it to be quite simply the most incredible car, especially considering its bargain price. So what could be better? Well, Nissan thinks it has it with the new Nissan GT-R SpecV, which launches in Japan in February. The GT-R SpecV offers a slight increase […]
De Tomaso assets being brokered
Cars UK has been sent a really interesting proposal that is doing the rounds of potential car investors around the world, offering the De Tomaso setup to interested investors. It’s true to say that the De Tomaso brand, probably the most significant of the unused Italian Supercar Marques, has been hawked round the world for […]
