Some of you might remember that last year I finally satiated my curious craving for a very slow, two cylinder, air-cooled car with suicide doors. Or at least I thought…
I’m not sure I like the term ‘hypercar’. I first remember seeing it 20 odd years ago when the likes of the McLaren F1, Jaguar XJ220 and Bugatti EB110 took…
As is the way of such things, last week’s Geneva Motorshow was heaving with vastly expensive, entirely impractical and, for the most part, somewhat irrelevant product. I have no problem…
Last night I attended the get together that VW hosts on the eve of every major motorshow around the world, in this case Geneva. A get together, that is, for…

Not being a whizz when it comes to business matters, it seems astonishing that the board of Morgan can chuck the grandson of the company’s founder out on his ear…
One day soon when cars have learned how to drive themselves - and it’s not even decades let alone centuries away – someone will sit down to write a history…
Koenigsegg, the Swedish supercar manufacturer, has just announced the latest version of its Agera supercar, along with the news that it will be allegedly capable of 280mph, and I’d just…
This is why I love Italy. Last night we turned up at the Balocco test track to attend the press conference that preceded driving Alfa Romeo’s 4C coupe today. These…
