The Aston Martin Zagato Concept

May 30, 2011

The Telegraph online has a feature on a new concept – the Aston Martin Zagato. Take a look at the article to view this amazing looking car. For my money it has hints of the DBS alongside the muscular haunches of a Nissan 370Z.

Alfa Romeo 4C

March 13, 2011

Possibly the best looking car in the world right now? It’s certainly up there. This is not just a mere concept from Alfa, as the 4C is due to go into production. Yes, that’s full production and not just a small run. I cannot wait to see this car on the road. Mid engine and [...]

Suzuki Swift S Concept

March 11, 2011

I’ve never been that much of a fan of the Suzuki Swift Sport – the name is a bit of a misnomer. It isn’t that quick and it doesn’t really have anything in the way of sporting credentials. However, this S concept looks the business, if a bit of a RenaultSport Clio in Suzuki clothing…

This is the latest concept car that’s due to be shown at Geneva – the SsangYong SUT 1 (Hall 4, Stand 4133)! Why SUT?

Sometimes concept cars are ludicrous, wonderful and totally off the mark. The Toyota FT-86 II Concept is completely the opposite of this. Set to make a world premier at the 2011 Geneva motor show, it builds on the original concept and gives a not so subtle hint as to what the next Toyota sports car [...]

Renault DeZir Concept Car

November 17, 2010

This is a far more interesting car than the Tesla that currently holds the title for the most sporty electric car. The DeZir might only be a concept at the moment, but it is a cracking looking thing. In particular, it has the swooping bodywork that features on a number of other recent Renault concepts. [...]

In what will be a limited design run, the Porsche Supervisory Board confirmed development of the 918 Spyder concept for the road – and I for one cannot wait.

Volvo. Perhaps not the first brand to come to mind when discussing performance. Which is why this Volvo C30 concept by Polestar Performance looks so interesting. Developing 400PS and transferring the power to the road via an all-wheel-drive system, the C30 Performance Concept Prototype was designed to evaluate what happens when a Championship-winning team of [...]

Kia Ray Concept

February 14, 2010

Have you heard of it? Well, I hadn’t either until I saw this article on Auto Trader. Fancy having a car that does 200 miles per gallon? Given the cost of fuel at the moment, I can see that positively everyone in Britain might want to look at something like this, if they are one [...]
