There are a lot of things car enthusiasts can’t agree with. Torque or horsepower, petrol or electric, SUV or sedans. You get the idea. Yet, when it comes to naming the most beautiful car of all time, common folk, industry veterans, and fart-sniffing connoisseurs can all agree on nominating the Lamborghini Miura. They say beauty is […]
I know the following sentence is challenging for anyone with an ounce of petrol in their veins. But for a moment, turn your baseball caps forward and put down that can of Red Bull. When I mention the word ‘Mitsubishi’, you need to forget about forest-blasting Evolutions and desert-conquering Pajeros. Got it? So, what is […]
With Europe tightening the thumbscrews on emissions, McLaren has taken the hybrid-pill with its first series-production hybrid, the McLaren Artura. And no, it isn’t a 720S stuffed with a big battery. The Artura features a smaller 430kW 3-litre twin-turbo V6 with a 70kW electric motor. Other all-new technical bits include its twin-clutch, differential, and carbon-fibre […]

We are three-quarters into 2020 and it is only now that this year’s 24 Hours of Le Mans gets underway. It was originally scheduled for June but postponed when the cough heard around the world started getting around. Speaking of things that didn’t go according to plan, let’s wind the clock to 1999 and examine […]
You don’t need sales figures to know that Infiniti has seen better days. Not only has its European operations got axed, but it also survives on a skeletal model range. It is fast becoming a company that is more well-known for its concepts than actual production models. Not to mention the management dramas that has […]
The roll-out of final Bentley Mulsanne from Bentley’s Crewe factory recently represents more than just the end of a model. It also brings more than sixty years of Bentley’s shared history with Rolls-Royce to a close. A history that made the two names almost indistinguishable and inseparable.
