Although we are likely to see some very exotic machinery at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month, including the Rolls Royce Ghost, the Lamborghini Reventon Roadster and the Aston Martin Rapide – to name but a few – the big news will be ‘Green’. We already know that BMW will be bringing the ActiveHybrid X6 […]
MINI Coupe Concept Photo Image Gallery +Video
We reported this morning on the release by BMW of details of the MINI Coupe Concept, a JCW powered 2 seater MINI launched to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the first Mini being released in public. Well, BMW has gone a bit berserk on the photos they’ve sent us – plus a video of the […]
Christian von Koenigsegg talks Saab
Christian Von Koenigsegg is a man well known in petrolhead circles. His innovation and nous have taken him to the top of the tree of Hypercar makers, and we’ve applauded his innovation and entrepreneurial spirit on numerous occasions. But Christian is not a man who courts personal publicity. So it’s a sign of how important […]
Gumpert Apollo S sets Nurburgring record +video
Every car maker on the planet seems to obsessed with breaking a Nurburgring record. And who can blame them. Every time a new claim comes in people like us write about it, and that gives them publicity that would cost a fortune to buy. Probably the biggest spat this year has been over the Nissan […]
Aston Martin Rapide – the Video
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 […]
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 Cayman Shooting Brake Fake +video
Well, we got sent an email – actually, more than one – on the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake. And although we were pretty sceptical we decided – after the third or fourth drip of information – that there might be something in it. So we reported last week on the Porsche Cayman Shooting Brake which […]
Rolls Royce Ghost – the Video
The Rolls Royce Ghost is now very close to its first public reveal at the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Not that there are many secrets left. The Ghost is pretty much exactly what the EX200 Concept was, bar minor detail. And the EX200 / RR4 has been out and about quite a bit, most […]
McLaren SLR Stirling Moss – the Video
Back in December last year, Mercedes McLaren finally got round to revealing that the run-out model of the SLR would be the McLaren SLR Stirling Moss – dubbed SLR Speedster before it was announced. And what a swan-song. A car like no other (except perhaps the Veritas III) it looked just like a 1940s German […]
2010 Porsche 911 Turbo – the Video
Porsche has released details of the updated 911 Turbo for the 2010 MY. The new Porsche 911 Turbo features a turbo-charged version of the 3.8 litre engine found in the Carrera S, which produces 500hp and a 0-60mph of 3.2 seconds. Porsche has also worked on the driving dynamics of the car, with a more […]
