I know I’ve mentioned it before, but it’s becoming more of an issue for me personally as I’m looking to get a new car this year. The problem being of course is just how much used cars have lost in the previous year or so. The average three year old motor is now worth £1,750 […]
In developing the most sporting and dynamic road-going 911 with a normal-aspiration power unit, Porsche has applied a wide range of know-how gained in motorsport. Indeed, this is precisely why the new GT3 is truly impressive not only on the road, but also on the race track. The new 911 GT3 is making its world […]
In arguably the worst news since the axing (or the putting on hold) of the new Honda NSX, rumour has it that the British Motor Show could well be cancelled next year. The popular show that takes place during July/August biennially was last year faced by problems including a host of manufacturers pulling out at […]
Porsche has become the latest victim of the global credit crunch/world recession and has reacted to falling demand for new motors by cutting back on worker hours. Recent results showed that in the last six months, sales had slumped by 14% – a trend common across the motor industry as buyers are tightening purse strings […]
There’s a new website doing the rounds for the Nissan 370Z (yes, it’s the new, upgraded 350Z) that’s worth taking a look at. You won’t find too much there just yet, but plenty of wonderful descriptive about the car found in abundance, such as “Racing suspension honed at the Nurburgring and the power to weight […]
Is there any point to this car? Well, that I remain unconvinced of. It doesn’t arrive with the rumoured 550bhp, but the twin-turbo 3.8 V6 has been given more torque in the mid and higher rev range – meaning that this is going to give you ‘proper’ rev-the-nuts-off sports car performance, though it’s arguable that […]
In a move that is likely to anger some (and no doubt please others), ministers want to clamp down on motorists who drive without insurance, effectively increasing the premium prices for everyone else. If drivers don’t currently have cover, then the DVLA will send out a reminder – with a fine of £100 to follow […]
So what’s all this talk about a Danish supercar then? Yes, as unlikely as it sounds, it’s not actually an urban myth. The Zenvo ST1 is a car of 100% Danish design – and it delivers ferocious power that is suiting to the amazingly aggressive looks. We’re talking about 1,104bhp and 1430N/m of torque. Yes, […]
Unfortunately, my driving experiment was drawn to an abrupt close fairly recently, through no fault of my own. In a rather unexpected turn of events, I got in my car as per usual only to find that the thing wouldn’t start. A swift call to the RAC brought the man in the orange van out […]
The 2008 WhatCar? ‘Car of the Year’ winner, the Jaguar XF, retained its award-winning crown at the WhatCar? Awards held in London last night, winning ‘Best Executive Car’ for 2009. WhatCar? editor, Steve Fowler, commented: “Jaguar’s XF is a deserving winner once again – and it’s about to get even better with new, greener engines. […]
