Late last year a New York-based beverage producer managed to raise its stock price by an incredible 500%. How did it do it? Did they hatch an evil plan to control the world’s supply of sugar? Do they have Coke’s secret to peddle liquified cocaine? No, what they did was an even greater stroke of […]
If there is one thing about spouting automotive opinion in the Anglo world is that you don’t throw shade on the British parade. Even if you are a mullet-wearing republican puritan cowboy, you’d be wise to show some tact and at least extol the off-road prowess of a Land Rover and the handling superiority of […]
Recently, lamentations were heard coming from motoring enthusiast sites in The States over Audi USA’s decision to drop the last manual option from their line-up. At this point should we be surprised that a brand that once gifted the world the R8’s open shifter is devoid of manuals or should we be more surprised that […]
At last, someone has said the phrase me and probably half a dozen blokes dosed up in 1970s rally nostalgia has been waiting for, “Make Lancia Great Again”. Strangely it didn’t come from Lancia, operator of the world’s saddest website. Instead, it came from a 32-year old Italian entrepreneur and avid car collector Eugenio Amos […]
In a rapidly fragmenting car market that is occupied by a handful of big players who have each pledged to launch a new model at an exhausting rate of one almost every month, it won’t be surprising if there will be a few that will fall through the cracks of our collective consciousness.

Nothing summaries this season thus far like the opening seconds of the Belgian Grand Prix last […]
With an average participant net worth of a small tax haven, Pebble Beach has earned a reputation as the poshest event on the motoring calendar. A reputation that has caught the attention of carmakers who now roll out their most expensive creations under that inviting Californian sky in hopes to get their affluent audiences to […]
You got to hand it to Stephan Winkelmann, that man has a golden touch when it comes to dealing with super-exclusive, ultra-high-end cars. It could be those immaculate sideburns or millimetre-perfect suits, that gives him the power to hold sway over extremely wealthy punters to part them of their millions for heavily rebodied special edition […]
Ever since Jaguar and Land Rover became merged at the hip, following their acquisition by Tata, they have never been shy of banging on about their history and heritage. However when Jaguar Classic unveiled an E-Type that was converted to run on an all-electric drivetrain, many were left dumbfounded and concerned that Jaguar’s retrospective focus […]
Commentary on car design is very subjective but we can all agree that when someone mistakes your car for a Maserati, that’s generally a good thing.
