The Volvo factory in Torslanda celebrated 50 years recently with a total of over 6.8 million cars having been produced, starting with the Amazon model in 1964 and all the way to the new V60 Polestar that began to roll off the production line . The Polestar model also marks the first ever independent partner […]
This is the latest – and most extreme – version of the 208. It is the 208 GTi 30th anniversary Limited Edition. Power comes from a a new Euro6 1.6-litre THP petrol engine developing 300Nm of torque and maximum power increased to a symbolic 208hp. The paintwork shown (a coupe franche) is actually an option! […]
The all new Mercedes-Benz E300 BlueTEC Hybrid is one of the most efficient cars currently available as a production model (especially in the larger class in which it sits). But can it manage the 1223 miles it takes to travel all the way from Africa back to the UK? View the video courtesy of Autocar […]
It seems that the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed will be host to quite a large number of premier showings and Ferrari has entered the fray with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and the Ferrari California T.

I’m a big fan of Volvo. By and large their cars are safe, practical, well thought out and reliable. Those are some key traits for any vehicle and generally speaking there are few out there that don’t like the Swedish marque. The Volvo V60 Polestar brings a new dynamic to the Volvo range. It is […]
This is one of those rare occasions where the picture says just about everything instead of the actual words in the article. Volvo’s new 2014 XC90 is coming soon and the Swedish marque have started off the promotion by demonstrating the interior quality of the vehicle. This isn’t unusual in this segment (Range Rovers, Audi […]
I have absolutely no doubt in my mind that despite the BMW 2 Series Active Tourer being against the normal BMW grain (front wheel drive you say?) it will be a run away hit. Popular MPV styling? Check. Lots of useful cabin space? Check. Strong engine range with good economy? Check. Brand snob cachet? Check. […]
In what some may see as an unlikely vehicle for Bentley, their SUV creation is well on the way now. It is being described as the world’s most powerful and luxurious SUV – make of that what you will! A new film just released by Bentley – offering a rare glimpse of the company’s design […]
