Top Gear’s BMW Z4M Review

December 16, 2009

Richard Hammond is one lucky fella, taking the Porsche Boxster S round the track as well as the BMW Z4M. Both great looking fun sports cars – but which would you have? The Porsche arguably has the badge but the Z4 for me has the looks (four exhausts, huge air intakes etc). And what’s that [...]

December 8, 2009

Ford has won two BBC Top Gear awards this year for two extraordinary cars. The first, the Ford Fiesta ECOnetic, is Ford’s lowest CO2 emitting model, producing only 98g/km, snapping up the “Green Car of the Year” Award.

Pagani Zonda F & Bugatti Veyron

July 23, 2009
