In this interesting video from EVO Magazine, a Ferrari Enzo is pitted against some of the hottest hatchbacks available that have been breathed on to be that little bit more powerful.

Auto Express Reviews Audi RS3

March 25, 2011

This is the fastest A3 that Audi has ever produced, and by quite some margin. The RS3 is a proper supercar that absolutely monsters the 0-62 rush in 4.6 seconds. Naturally this comes with astounding levels of grip thanks to the advanced Quattro four wheel drive system. However, is it engaging to drive? Watch the [...]

Cars From Movies #3

March 19, 2011

If this car is good enough for Batman, then it’s good enough for me. This is of course the famous Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 which featured in The Dark Knight. This is a rampaging bull of a car that has the tell tale horsepowers suggested in the name from a V12 engine that’ll scream all the [...]

Are You Obsessed With Performance Figures?

February 21, 2011

James May provides yet another insightful article at The Times Online, discussing why we’re so obsessed with performance figures.

Perhaps we’re almost reaching a plateau, where the next development in supercars won’t be to hit 0-60 [...]

Something For The Weekend – February 2011 No.2

February 19, 2011

Lamborghini keeps producing special editions of the Gallardo and with very good reason. However, the Spyder is probably the best ‘standard’ production version.

Supercars have to move with the times too and many manufacturers are now looking at ways to make their supremely powerful performance models lighter and better for the environment. For some, the ultimate goal is electric (I don’t necessarily agree but let’s not get drawn into that now) and Merc have done what few others [...]

Car Articles Supercar Of The Year 2010

December 8, 2010

I’m not convinced that the award could have gone to any other car in the world when this thing exists. More power, a greater top speed (a verified 267 miles per hour has been reached in one of these) and the same amazing engineering put the Veyron SuperSport in a league of… One. There is [...]

Which Car Should Win Car Of The Year 2010?

December 3, 2010

I’m a big believer in the idea that a car that wins in the year should be available to purchase in the year. E.g. a car that wins the 2010 award should be able to be enjoyed right now, otherwise what’s the point? With this in mind, I have a few condenders I’d like to [...]
