From everyone at Car Articles, I’d like to wish you all a Happy New Year as we go into 2011. May it bring you new cars, gadgets, DVDs and all manner of excellent gear. Oh and this might be a long shot, but let’s all hope for (somewhat) reduced fuel prices. Otherwise, as things are […]
Some of these you’ll be in agreement with straight away, others are a little more tricky. Here’s my predictions on what we can all expect from 2011 in terms of motoring: Petrol prices will hit £1.50 per litre, diesel being around the same Many more electric vehicles will be purchased – but primarily the purchase […]
The big Aussie is back with a vengeance! The new VXR8 is the latest Holden imported from Australia, rebadged over here as a Vauxhall. ‘Not another Vauxhall’ I’m sure you’re thinking, however this is not a 1.3 litre diesel hatchback. This is a storming V8 fourth generation 6.2-litre LS3 unit, producing 431PS and a massive […]
Wishing every one of our readers a very Happy Christmas from Car Articles. May Santa have been kind to you and got you all the lovely presents you want. We’re on a little break for the time being but we’ll be back soon for more motoring news, views, opinion, gossip and much more for 2011.
I’m proud to present the Pagani Zonda R as the Car Articles Car of the Year 2010. Breathtaking performance, a crazy pricetag and a car that you can’t use either on the street or most tracks. So, perhaps, as Jeremy Clarkson famously said, you need to be so rich that you can buy your own […]
Supercars have to move with the times too and many manufacturers are now looking at ways to make their supremely powerful performance models lighter and better for the environment. For some, the ultimate goal is electric (I don’t necessarily agree but let’s not get drawn into that now) and Merc have done what few others […]
This year’s electric car title can only go to one model in particular from a single manufacturer. This year’s winner of the Electric Car of the Year 2010 award goes to the Citroen Survolt. Granted, it’s a racing car, so you aren’t going to have one sitting on your driving just waiting to blast near-silently […]
In honour of the new VXR8 (yes, you read that right, there is a new version coming soon), I’ve featured this Top Gear video of The Stig doing what he does best – hammering a powerful car around the track. The Vauxhall (Holden) Monaro is a proper muscle car that is large, brash and simply […]
With reports of more snow and extremely cold weather due to hit the UK shortly, it’s worth bearing in mind a four wheeled drive vehicle if you’re after a new set of wheels. More grip, stability and ability to cope with the weather are all promised by a vehicle that puts power down via all […]
Clarkson immediately suggests it is awful. Normally I might add ‘need I say more’? But that’s a rather trite response to this particular car. Owners are well aware that it’s not for taking to the supermarket run, or for ferrying your kids to school and back. They do know it’s for track days and even […]
