The Motor Muse
Just when you thought the rich are getting richer as the world gets addicted to SUVs, Jaguar Land Rover has decided to cull the limited-edition SVO-built £240,000 Range Rover SV Coupe. 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 […]
Looks like the next few years is going to be an interesting time for Lotus. The Hethel-based company’s new owners, Chinese car-maker Geely, has been reportedly drawing up a £1.5 billion-plus investment to revitalise it. And if the developments over the last few months have been any clear indication, it won’t be yet another Bahar-esque […]
Another year, another internet ‘challenge’ fad, and instead of convincing the short end of the Darwinian ladder to eat new varieties of detergent concentrate we are now bombarded by people eager to show off to Facebook’s algori….errr…peers, on how ten trips around the sun had changed them with the #10yearchallenge. This being the internet, there […]
If you are going to launch a new performance brand into the world, there is no better way than to revive an iconic sports car that the world hasn’t seen for the better part of the last 16 years. Not only will you get a healthy serving of brownie points from the enthusiasts, but it […]
As the clock counts down to the end of 2018 talking heads will definitely be going over the big events of the past 365 days. Most certainly there will be a lot of talking points when it comes to international events, politics, and a tiresome triade of celebrity gossip, but when it comes to tech […]
Not too long ago The Motor Muse came up with a shortlist of cars that would be prime candidates for getting a full-on Singer-style restomod treatment.

Traditionally the LA Auto Show isn’t the motor show that will dominate headlines, at least not on the scale of Detroit, Geneva or Shanghai. Think of it as the Oscar season to the summer blockbuster, only without the expected critical acclaim. This year, however, was a little different as the show made headlines with one […]
The end of 2016, following the US presidential election and Brexit, will probably be remembered as one of the pivotal moments in public discourse. It was the year when the lexicon “echo chamber” entered the public conscience, and while it has been a word levelled at the public, it also serves as a sobering reminder […]
If you want to write a thriller novel there are better settings to base it around than the boardroom of a 21st-century car company. Car companies of today are some of the most tightly regulated and highly scrutinised industries in the world today, with razor-thin margins and huge liabilities that pose little reward for rule […]
What a year 2018 was for car enthusiasts especially. It will definitely be remembered as a vintage year that gave us a whole host of tantalising new supercars, mind-bending electric performance cars, and glorious restomod classics, but don’t pour the champagne just yet, because the world is now poised on the brink of collapse with […]
