Here, Auto Express looks at the new Fabia vRS, and sees how it compares to the genuine rally car as used by Skoda. The new vRS looks very well put together and has a decent level of performance. The turbo and superchargers that are fitted means plenty of power for this little pocket rocket. A […]
The Vauxhall Insignia is actually a very reasonable performance car for the money, pumping out 325bhp to four wheels, meaning assured grip, poise and power. 0-60 is achieved in a very respectable 5.5 seconds. Here, James May tests out the car, whilst taking a special guest for a spin with him.
In this video, you’ll see the new (and critically acclaimed) Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG tackle the hillclimb at the Goodwood Festival of Speed 2010. Worth watching? Oh yes. This is an extremely special car and the noise it makes is simply staggering! It’s a real shame I couldn’t make it to the festival of speed this […]
Here, Clarkson provides one of his usual effusive (and rather expensive) reviews for Top Gear of a rather lavish slab of car, the BMW X6. Not small or shy by any means, it actually rather reminds me of the big man himself… The X6 is an ‘SAV’ or sports activity vehicle with coupe-like lines but […]
Currently, there are few hatches out there that match the Scirocco R – it really does seem to have it all. Here, Motors TV takes a closer look at what makes this car just so special. Would you have one? I certainly would if the price wasn’t so steep at the moment and being a […]
This is definitely the ‘best of British’!

The fact that it doesn’t have any electronic features such as ABS – but then this is a REAL […]
In F1, there are limits on when testing of the current car can take place for the season. So, drivers and teams resort to using their simulators. In this video, Mark Webber takes the Red Bull F1 simulator for a spin, showing just how incredibly life-like it is. How brilliant would it be to have […]
You won’t have seen anything quite like this before. Granted, it is a marketing viral from Dunlop Tyres for their new Street Response range, but this is reverse driving like none other. This footage kind of reminds me of the remake of ‘The Italian Job’ coupled with some sort of insane Top Gear test. More […]
Mountune have tuned up the Ford Focus RS, so if you weren’t lucky enough to pick up the special RS500 edition then this upgrade could well be for you. It has half a second on the standard car, strong brakes and a very nice raspy exhaust note. There’s still a little bit of torque steer […]
Monaco is one fearsome track, with tight turns, very few opportunities for overtaking and 5 long straights. In this video from Motors TV, Mark Webber explains just why Monaco is looked forward to by racing fans and worried about by drivers! It is a fantastic circuit with one of the most beautiful backdrops of any […]
