Any marquee producing a new car is going to be news. Not least because the word ‘marque’ normally denotes the fact that you’re talking about one of those posh makes normally reserved for the exceptionally rich in this life. This case is no exception – however the car itself looks amazing. I’m talking about the […]
Here in the UK, we don’t tend to do muscle cars. They really were born in the US, out of good times in Detroit and even earlier. So, is this a bizarrely-timed April fools’ joke? Not a chance. James Martin (not the famous chef) has to my mind at least created something very special indeed. […]
For many, the Corsa VXR is the darling of the VXR range – it isn’t too unwieldy like the Astra, it isn’t ridiculous like the Zafira. It is just right, a well balanced, exceptionally quick hot hatch with great looks. An uprated, very safe small car that is just as much at home larking about […]
Sounds like some sort of crazed pornographic nightmare doesn’t it? It isn’t though. It’s simply the official snap of the new Bugatti Veyron – sans a roof. It’s called the Grand Sport, a bit of a misnomer given that if you’re using it for ‘sport’ you’d probably want one with a top. It is, after […]
Do you like your luxury, well, luxurious? In fact, do you like your luxury beyond the wealth of not just 99% of people but 99.99% of folk? If so, then the Maybach Exelero is just for you. Whilst the Bugatti Veyron is expensive at £800,000 this thing comes in at – well it’s one of […]
Now this is a car that got a superb reveal – and I’m not just talking about the British Motor Show. Oh no, this was something far more special. Sat beneath the tower of St Basil’s Cathedral in Moscow’s Red Square there was the biggest hourglass ever created. At 40ft, it was bloody massive. It […]
Luca De Meo is up to big things over at Alfa Romeo – he has a firm plan in place to try to make us all fall in love with Alfas. Will it work? Well, possibly, possibly not. If they can keep churning out cars that look as good as the GT and the Brera […]
I must say, I was pleased to be at the launch of the Renault Koleos when I was up in Scotland. However, I found the looks of the thing uninspiring, whilst the massive size and sheer bulk put me off. I have now come around though, to believing that it has a certain Gallic charm […]
If you’re tired of Porsche, Ferrari and Lamborghini what else should you buy, assuming you want raw power? Well, you’ve got a range such as Spyker, Ariel, Caterham, Morgan and Koenigsegg. However, only one of them really goes the whole way – designing something that for my mind looks like it has come from 20 […]
Of course I’m talking about the latest Lotus – the Eagle. In a Porsche rivalling move, this is their new 2+2, that’s fully ready to take on the Porsche Cayman (though not the pricier 911). So what sort of powerplant do you get for your circa £45,000 hard earned cash? Naturally, sir will be wanting […]
