Grip is at the core of the new GLA-Class – its 4MATIC system providing reassurance and traction in all conditions. Fittingly, the GLA has made its British debut at the very core of the UK, some 189-metres below ground within the vast Winsford Rock Salt Mine in Cheshire – the site which supplies much of […]
This is the absolutely gorgeous looking Mercedes-Benz S 63 AMG Coupé – and what a car it is! Sleek lines mated with some softer body curves both front and rear give this two door a breathtaking look. Equally impressive is the combination of high driving dynamics, ambitious lightweight construction and groundbreaking efficiency. As the most […]
In this video review from Carbuyer, the 2014 Volkswagen Golf R is put under the microscope. Launch control and a four wheel drive system mated with a hugely powerful engine will boost this car to 60 in under five seconds. Is this enough though to make you purchase this hot hatch on steroids? Good question. […]
At a press conference hosted by the New York International Auto Show and Bridgestone Corporation, the Audi A3 was declared the 2014 World Car of the Year. The Audi A3 was chosen from an initial entry list of twenty-four vehicles from all over the world, then a short list of twelve, then three finalists: The […]
It was with some sadness that I heard McLaren was no longer going to manufacture the McLaren 12C (or as it used to be known the McLaren MP4-12C). Weird monikers aside, the 12C had everything you could ever wish for from a supercar. The only criticism that seemed to hold any weight when leveled at […]
In this video, courtesy of XCAR (one of our favourite channels on Youtube by the way), David Brown explains his first creation – the Speedback. It harks back to the 1960’s with a beautifully curvaceous body but comes with all modern conveniences. This will include air con as well as the ability to not fall […]
Look past that awful name – the Gumpert Explosion – and you’ll find a very interesting car indeed first seen at the Geneva Motor Show 2014. The Explosion is courtesy of the marque that created the Apollo, so it should be very well sorted for performance and handling. It has a 2 litre turbo engine […]
You may recall the previous coverage on Car Articles of the Infinity Q50 Eau Rouge concept car. No longer a concept, this performance car has a monster engine – a twin-turbo 3.8-litre V6 petrol engine with an output of 568hp and 600Nm of torque! No doubt performance will be impressive especially as it is mated […]
In the inaugural 2014 award ceremony for the UK Car of the Year Awards, the brilliant little Ford Fiesta ST has taken ‘Best Performance Car’ honours. This accolade follows recognition last month from What Car? and Top Gear, which proclaimed Fiesta ST its overall Car of the Year. The new UK Car of the Year […]
Do you need a new supercar? Does it have to outperform the already mighty McLaren 12C and Ferrari 458 Italia? If so, then consider the new McLaren 650S. On the same platform as the 12C but with more power, more torque and a sleek new body, this is certainly a contender. It sits somewhere between […]
