In this video review from Carbuyer, the 2014 Volkswagen Golf R is put under the microscope. Launch control and a four wheel drive system mated with a hugely powerful engine will boost this car to 60 in under five seconds. Is this enough though to make you purchase this hot hatch on steroids? Good question. […]
The Volkswagen Golf GTE, which made its world debut just last month at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show, combines petrol and electric motors to produce 204 PS and giving a theoretical range of 580 miles. It is driven by two engines: a 1.4-litre 150 PS TSI direct-injection petrol engine and a 102 PS electric motor. […]
This is the all new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-440 MR special edition. It has been designed to help celebrate the company’s 40th Anniversary in the UK. The car has quite a significant price tag (£50,000), but for that sum of money you do get what is probably one of the fastest point-to-point cars on […]
Not all cars are created equal – and the Caterham Seven 620 R certainly isn’t! Thanks to a super lightweight platform and 310bhp, a top speed of 155mph and a 0-60mph time of less than 2.8 seconds is capable. A video documenting Kobayashi’s first Seven drive and capturing his thoughts on the iconic British sportscar […]
In case you have literally no idea what this car is, let me bring you up to speed. The old 1 series stable of cars had a coupe. It no longer does. Instead, that car is known as the BMW 2 series. Oh, and it has a rather wonderful M235i in the lineup of engines. […]
Look past that awful name – the Gumpert Explosion – and you’ll find a very interesting car indeed first seen at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. The Explosion is courtesy of the marque that created the Apollo, so it should be very well sorted for performance and handling. It has a 2 litre turbo engine […]
Courtesy of Autocar, here is their highlights of the Geneva Motor Show 2014 featuring some real stand out cars that we’ll be seeing more of in the near future. What gets your pick? Despite some other hugely impressive metal in a similar performance category, I love the design of the Lamborghini Huracan. Granted it may […]
It perhaps hasn’t had as much press as the bigger stable mate the McLaren P1, but the McLaren 650S coupe is still just as noteworthy. It is based on the McLaren 12C platform but is even more of a performance car. If that idea doesn’t excite you then nothing on four wheels will! The latest […]
Do you need a new supercar? Does it have to outperform the already mighty McLaren 12C and Ferrari 458 Italia? If so, then consider the new McLaren 650S. On the same platform as the 12C but with more power, more torque and a sleek new body, this is certainly a contender. It sits somewhere between […]
The SEAT Leon Cupra has long been held in high regard. The latest incarnation has a whopping 265 bhp and and great driving dynamics, yet can be had for a deposit of only £265 on a PCP deal. Similarly, the more powerful Leon SC Cupra 280 can be had from just £285 per month! The […]
