Perhaps a vision of the future, hydrogen cars seem to have been largely forgotten about in favour of electric cars. However, one manufacturer hasn’t forgotten that hydrogen is the most abundant element in the universe – even if it is hard to extract. That manufacturer is Honda. A £31m agreement coordinated by the Mayor of […]
Happy birthday to the Volkswagen Golf! Few cars are as ubiquitous as the Volkswagen Golf. But why is that? Well, the simple fact is you can’t argue with quality, reliability, usability and driving pleasure. There are an abundance of Volkswagen Golfs on the road for the reason that, from Mk1 to Mk7 (and I’ve no […]
In this video, Autocar takes a new 2014 Nissan Qashqai all the way from Sunderland (where the car was made) through to Istanbul – where East truly meets West. This is a real world test of car; not focusing on 0-62 or top speed but how a car deals with a long journey. This brings […]

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 […]
This is the all new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X FQ-440 MR special edition. It has been designed to help celebrate the company’s 40th Anniversary in the UK. The car has quite a significant price tag (£50,000), but for that sum of money you do get what is probably one of the fastest point-to-point cars on […]
