A new BMW is coming, which is always an event in itself. When it is a new X5, things look even more rosy. The old car was extremely good, capable and hard wearing with a wide choice of engines and a quality interior. This new car, if the video is anything to go by, is […]
So, which do you think will best from this crop of three top end hot hatchbacks? In this video courtesy of Autocar, the Mercedes A45 AMG , Volkswagen Golf GTI and BMW M135i duke it out for the top spot. Granted, they are not the cheapest on the market, but they are some of the […]
BMW has a knack of producing cars that fit absolutely into their current range, whilst appearing dramatic, fresh and pretty much as good as the concept that preceded it. The BMW 4 Series Coupe is no exception to this. Taught, muscular lines on the body curve with subtle lines to give the sense that the […]
Lamborghini has always been a firm favourite marque of mine. I still remember the picture of the gorgeous Countach that occupied prime real estate on my bedroom wall as a kid. It should come as no surprise then that I’ve viewed most of the footage from the 50th anniversary celebrations of this wonderful car maker. […]
If you need space as well as performance, then look no further than either of these cars. Both the Audi RS4 Avant and Vauxhall VXR8 Tourer provide huge BHP figures whilst being able to carry a small wardrobe (or the kids and the dog) in the back. However, how do you go about deciding between […]
So, does the oval badge excite you like nothing else? Ford has a history of making some excellent hot hatchbacks and the Fiesta comes in at the smaller supermini category (although even superminis seem to be getting bigger every year). So, just how does the new Fiesta ST shape up? Watch the video to see […]
The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the new halo car from the legendary Maranello manufacturer. It looks like a superbly capable GT car rather than an all out sports performance model like the 458 Italia. However, it still has 730bhp and is capable of beyond 200 miles per hour. So yes, we’re pretty jealous of Steve […]
Some cars remain with you long after you’ve seen them. The Ferrari 430 Scuderia is one such car. I’ve long been an advocate for the F430. When I first saw this car in the flesh at a motor show I realised I must have a go in one. I haven’t managed it yet, but the […]
Not all cars are made equally. If they were, it would make our jobs here at Car Articles at lot more challenging. The mark 7 Volkswagen Golf was the Car Articles Car of the Year 2012 so perhaps it shouldn’t come as a surprise that we highly recommend the GTI variant. More power, better brakes, […]
Breathtaking. That’s the only way to describe the new Porsche 911 RSR. It is quite some car. The video may be wonderfully dramatic but it poses some genuine questions, including a poser of how do you keep re-inventing whilst staying true to yourself or your product? Mind you, with 50 years of development the 911 […]
