Have you ever had to do anything so frustrating than park in the city centre? I can’t think of many things I have to say. I’m going to have the ‘pleasure’ of doing so today. Ironically, two car parks have closed down and they’ve put roadworks right in the middle of the road. How anyone […]
In case you missed it, the BMW i8 hybrid supercar is out in the wild (I’d be surprised if you’re reading this and haven’t taken note of the excellent advertisements for this groundbreaking car). The i8 is powered by two drivetrains – a 1.5 litre three cylinder petrol engine serving the rears and a 129 […]
Few cars exist in the same metaphorical hypercar space as the McLaren P1. There are only a handful of cars on the planet (probably the same amount of fingers you have on one hand) that have the same power, same speed, same braking ability, same steering response, same feel etc. It simply is on another […]

First, it will further reduce dependence on fossil fuels and secondly rather than simply […]
The all new Mercedes-Benz E300 BlueTEC Hybrid is one of the most efficient cars currently available as a production model (especially in the larger class in which it sits). But can it manage the 1223 miles it takes to travel all the way from Africa back to the UK? View the video courtesy of Autocar […]
It seems that the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed will be host to quite a large number of premier showings and Ferrari has entered the fray with the Ferrari 458 Speciale and the Ferrari California T. Starting with the California T, this is model that has seen some short shrift with some going so far […]
WeLoveAnyCar.com, the UK’s biggest car review site, has launched #CarCountUK allowing users to check how many cars of a particular make and model are still licensed on British Roads. #CarCountUK can be viewed here: www.weloveanycar.com/carcountUK The largest group of drivers on British roads are people born in the 60s and 70s.

Ford’s multi-award-winning 1.0-litre EcoBoost engine powers the car and in this tune it offers more power-per-litre than a Bugatti Veyron!
