A new Ferrari usually comes around once in a blue moon, but even the more diehard of Tifosi were certainly surprised by the introduction of the new F8 Tributo, though not for reasons of witnessing a new Ferrari. Even though Ferrari will always proclaim every new Ferrari as brand spanking new, the more eagle-eyed observers […]
What is Bugatti without a bit of excess? And while various tuners and Koenigsegg will eventually come along to lay claim to power and top speed records, the Molsheim-based manufacturer has pulled no stops to lay claim to the title of the most expensive new car ever made with the exquisitely titled and magnificently dressed […]
With the rush to release an ever increasing number of new model ranges every year, it seems that car makers are basing more of their decisions on elevator pitches.

Despite making waves and orders being taken for its 999 planned examples at last year’s Geneva Motor Show, Land Rover has cancelled the two-door […]
