Talk about taking it to the competition! Placing a car squarely against the might of the new BMW M4 may not be a competition that many could win, but Lexus has a new weapon – the RC F. This is the most powerful V8 engine Lexus have ever produced and it delivers on that promise […]
There can be no doubt that Formula 1 is at the height of motorsport technology. This in turn cascades down to the technology used on road cars to make our new motors lighter, more fuel efficient and safer than before. The Renault Energy F1 2014 Power Unit is completely new and is the engine that […]
I’ve long been an advocate for the Vauxhall VXR8 and the earlier Monaro. If you want V8 power in a muscle car body for relatively little cash in comparison to the competition, then you could do far, far worse than this car. The latest edition from Vauxhall is this car – the VXR8 GTS. It […]
Need a quick car? Need it to be a diesel for higher MPG and lower emissions? Then look no further than the strangely named BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-turbo. Poor name aside, this car is made to surprise you. Performance figures are zero to 62 mph in just 4.6 seconds and on to 173 mph, yet […]
Thankfully, not all engines are created equally. This is how we come to have the power, performance and unique characteristics of the Nissan GT-R engine. Created in a specially designed lab by four takumi (a master craftsman who has perfected his skills over years of painstaking work and dedication), each engine is unique and forms […]

Some cars arrive as concepts and simply beg to arrive to the market. For whatever reason, they hit a note that resonates with me and the GLA concept from Mercedes-Benz is exactly that sort of design. “The Concept GLA marks a new approach for us in the compact SUV segment – this is a sporty […]
The Nissan Juke-R has really made it into (very limited) production and is scheduled for delivery for a happy customer very soon. Owing to even more power than thought – we’re talking 545bhp – this monster will go from 0-60 in about 3 seconds and on to a max of 170 miles per hour. Staggering! […]
This video demonstrates the new Lexus GS Hybrid – can the drivers keep their heartbeats below 120 miles per hour? Look out for the tone change approximately 28 seconds in when the video moves from calm, peaceful hybrid power to raw adrenaline fuelled tyre smoking action! Clearly this is a very capable motor and I’ll […]
Surely this is one of the best images that Car Articles has ever featured! This picture highlights the nine McLaren 12C GT3 cars that will line up on the grid of the famous Circuit de Spa-Francorchamps next weekend, 27-29 July 2012 to contest the Total 24 Hours of Spa. There’s a high quality Youtube video […]
