Which of these two performance cars would you buy? The McLaren P4-12C is a superbly clinical driving experience but the Porsche GT3 RS is the choice for rear wheel drive purists. For those lucky people who genuinely have this decision to make, perhaps the video from Autocar will help you choose.
Italian supercars are normally considered de rigeur – they are the ultimate personification if you like of road going performance cars. They are noisy, fast and aggressively sleek. The Ferrari 458 Spider is surely no exception. The standard Italia is incredibly impressive and universally adored. The Spider looks to repeat that feat but offers even […]
Sometimes, you’ll just think “Damn, I want his/her job!”. This video demonstrates this thought particularly well as Henry Catchpole of EVO drives the frankly incredible MINI Countryman WRC car. Just look at that thing drift! I’m not sure of the colour scheme but other than that it looks like one hell of a ride.
In this video, Autocar reviews the wonderful BAC Mono that I wrote about recently. Naturally, they love it. Watch the video to see just how much.
If you don’t know much about car history, then you should watch all of the Fifth Gear Legends shows on youtube. This is of course the Ford Lotus Cortina, an (at the time) hot saloon car. Colin Chapman added lightness and Lotus fettled it with their driving ethos. It is a true legend of a […]
If you’ve got an HD monitor, upgrade the video to high resolution. You’ll then be rewarded with the full experience of watching a Formula 1 car do some very fast and strange things, such as roaring around off road and doing donuts on a silent Texas street. Watch this, it’s a must if you like […]

Watch the video to find […]
Check out the video at the Michelin UK Motorsport site. Two C Class Merc Estates go for it, only one has standard fitment tyres and the other has Michelin’s Primacy Alpin winter tyres. The result? The car fitted with the winter tyres stopped in 7.01 metres compared to the summer tyre-shod car’s 9.75 metres: a […]
Here’s a video of Johnny Herbert driving the amazing Mazda 787B. What a car! It’s a historic winner and if you’re in the know then it’ll need little explanation – or Herbert’s connection to it. For the rest of you, this is the 1991 winner of the 24 hours of Le Mans.
As usual, Harry Metcalfe does not drive rubbish metal like the rest of us mere mortals. In this case, he was getting his car serviced. At the Pagani factory. Yes, it’s a Pagani Zonda. His bill was a staggering £5,000. Must be nice eh?! Check out the noise the Zonda makes when he opens the […]
