Alfa Romeo 4C

March 13, 2011

Possibly the best looking car in the world right now? It’s certainly up there. This is not just a mere concept from Alfa, as the 4C is due to go into production. Yes, that’s full production and not just a small run. I cannot wait to see this car on the road. Mid engine and [...]

Sometimes concept cars are ludicrous, wonderful and totally off the mark. The Toyota FT-86 II Concept is completely the opposite of this. Set to make a world premier at the 2011 Geneva motor show, it builds on the original concept and gives a not so subtle hint as to what the next Toyota sports car [...]

I’m proud to present the Pagani Zonda R as the Car Articles Car of the Year 2010. Breathtaking performance, a crazy pricetag and a car that you can’t use either on the street or most tracks. So, perhaps, as Jeremy Clarkson famously said, you need to be so rich that you can buy your own [...]

Renault DeZir Concept Car

November 17, 2010

This is a far more interesting car than the Tesla that currently holds the title for the most sporty electric car. The DeZir might only be a concept at the moment, but it is a cracking looking thing. In particular, it has the swooping bodywork that features on a number of other recent Renault concepts. [...]

Volvo. Perhaps not the first brand to come to mind when discussing performance. Which is why this Volvo C30 concept by Polestar Performance looks so interesting. Developing 400PS and transferring the power to the road via an all-wheel-drive system, the C30 Performance Concept Prototype was designed to evaluate what happens when a Championship-winning team of [...]

Autocar Drives New Peugeot RCZ

March 22, 2010

This is one that I’m extremely jealous about – but principally because of how cool the Peugeot RCZ looks! Once again, Autocar has got in there first and driven the latest masterpiece from the gallic company responsible for some of the most comfortable and funky cars around. Not afraid to push the envelope, the RCZ [...]

Kia Ray Concept

February 14, 2010

Have you heard of it? Well, I hadn’t either until I saw this article on Auto Trader. Fancy having a car that does 200 miles per gallon? Given the cost of fuel at the moment, I can see that positively everyone in Britain might want to look at something like this, if they are one [...]

MINI Beachcomber Concept

December 22, 2009

Here’s a great new video from Autocar – it’s an interview with the designer of the new MINI Beachcomber concept. Gert Hildebrand talks Autocar through the car, including inspiration, features and the reason behind the concept. It looks extremely funky and I can see it selling very well, albeit in a form that loses some [...]
