XCAR Takes A Look At The 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S

May 13, 2014 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

More refined GT than supercar, Aston produces some of the most elegant cars manufactured in the world today. However, The 2015 Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is a car that breaks the mould in that it is […]

The Ferrari F12 Berlinetta is the fastest Ferrari ever produced by the magical Marinello marque. Equipped with a 6.3-litre V12 producing 730 horsepowers, it is a staggering car.

May 15, 2010 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Aston Martin Volante

Aston Martin’s mighty new four door sports car – the Rapide – will be driven hard at the Nürburgring Nordschleife for the 38th ADAC Zurich 24 hour Race on 15th and 16th of May. I must say, I’d love to be there to see it in action! Last year, the V12 Vantage managed a place […]

Aston Martin Rapide

This is not just any car – this is the Aston Martin Rapide. Could you think of anything more wonderful to be blasting along the countryside in? Granted, it may not be made in England (it’s actually built in Austria), but the history, lineage, performance and beauty is all there. Or perhaps the ‘Power, Beauty, […]

Peugeot Are Le Mans 24 Hours 2009 Champions

June 17, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch Leave a Comment

Le Mans

Whilst I was away, the Le Mans 24 Hours race was taking place.  Audi and Peugeot have previously fought tooth and nail for position at the front of the grid, especially as recent rules have favoured diesel engines.  This has meant that both teams have fielded extraordinarily powerful LMP (Le Mans Prototypes) that feature engines […]

The Third Aston Martin One-77 Video

March 24, 2009 by Mr Butterscotch 3 Comments

The Aston Martin One-77

The third Aston Martin One-77 video is now available and is well worth a watch.  I’m still not sure whether I like the looks (boggly front eye lights, a hugely overlong front end), but then it wouldn’t be the first supercar that either a) divides opinion or b) looks far better in the flesh than […]
