Space and pace. It’s a simple equation but one that can be lacking in modern car design and engineering. Either we end up with a large SUV with no performance to speak of or we have a tiny city car that gives off little more than water but can’t reach 80 miles per hour. BMW […]
The Range Rover Evoque has now reached an age whereby JLR have decided a face lift is in order. Is this sufficient to make you drop around £60,000 on a small SUV, even with Range Rover badging? The Evoque has been an interesting car since it was first introduced back in 2011. It is very […]
This is the latest hot (or should that be hyper?) hatch from Ford – the Focus RS. The 2.3 litre EcoBoost actually comes from the Ford Mustang, which surely must be a good thing. 345 BHP should prove more than enough for anyone, whilst the five doors maintain the useful family car body style. Four […]
We were going to go a little bit left-field this year but after flicking through page after page of car magazines, articles and online images, we came back to this – the Volvo XC90. The SUV has been on the map as just about the most popular body shape of a vehicle that you can […]
The MINI (the original was truly Mini) just keeps getting bigger, more refined and more grown up. Does this however go against what should be a smaller, fun and dynamically engaging car to drive? Watch the video from XCAR to find out. Our view on it is that the MINI does need to keep evolving […]

This is the first in a new series from Car Articles – A Car I Love. The first car I’d like to highlight in this editorial is the rather wonderful Mercedes AMG GT. It’s the top of the range sports car offered from the German marque and it shows. Whilst you can’t detract from other […]
This is the absolutely stunning McLaren 675LT – and what a looker it is! The car is the lightest, most powerful, fastest and most track-focused, yet road legal, model in the McLaren Super Series. This performance monster debuted in production form at the 2015 Geneva Motor Show and has impressed ever since. Your chances of […]
The Audi R8 has always been a very desirable supercar. Indeed, one of the benefits is that just about anyone could get in the previous car and become a driving hero as it was effectively a massively quick Audi TT. Does the new Audi R8 (2015 car) live up to the reputation of the previous […]
For a fleeting moment, an air of silent and rarefied civility descended upon the super-car paddock at the Goodwood Festival of Speed last Sunday (28th June 2015) as a Rolls-Royce Wraith, resplendent in Ensign Red with contrast Jubilee Silver coachwork, settled into its starting position at the famous Hillclimb. There was nothing more to disturb […]
