New Silverstone Shoot-outs
Ever wondered how a performance icon of the past would fair against its modern successor? We have, and for rather longer than is healthy, which is why we're introducing a regular series of shoot-outs around Silverstone's awesome GP circuit. Taking the format of our new-look in-car telemetry laps we'll give you each protagonist's vital statistics before taking you for a
VW Scirocco GT vs VW Golf GTI
Before pitching the Scirocco GT against its obvious two-door rivals (see First Look next week for a triple test against Audi’s TT 2.0-litre T FSI and BMW’s 125i Coupe M Sport) we thought it would be fascinating to first compare the long awaited coupe with perhaps its closest rival of all, the Golf GTI. It’s a
Third teaser Lambo pic
Here's the latest Lamborghini teaser image. It clearly shows a 'boot' shutline, so it looks like the front-engine theorists were correct. So now I suppose we're left to discuss: V12 or V10, front-engined GT or 4-door saloon? We'll have the full details of the mystery Lamborghini, including images at 21.00 GMT on October
Audi RS6 Saloon First Drive
I used to think that only mad people bought Audi RS saloons. With BMW mostly refusing to build estate versions of the M cars, and Mercedes always going down their own route with automatic transmissions and less driving dynamics on the AMG tackle (now being reversed with some style on the C63, it must be said),
Porsche launches Carrera Cup GB Scholarship, Drivers Republic on the panel of judges
Porsche Cars Great Britain has announced a £100,000 scholarship scheme for its Carrera Cup Championship in 2009. It’s a stunning prize, and the plan has been hatched specifically to find the next Richard Westbrook –the driver who won the 2004 Carrera Cup GB, and who went on to become the most successful GT3 Cup
Chris' column
All this stuff about McLaren going to the FIA to see if it’s possible to launch an appeal over the result of the Belgian Grand Prix is, I’m afraid to report, a diversion. The team knows it may be granted an appeal, but that the 25 second penalty will remain. Only the very cynical
Second Lambo teaser pic
So, the second detail shot of the new Lambo has just arrived, and I'm feeling pretty pleased about my non-SV guess. Stuff to conclude from this shot: 1) The bonnet line is higher than any Gallardo or Murci 2) It is running P Zero Rossos, which certainly aren't your super-sticky SV rubber 3) The tyres are also relatively
New Lambo for Paris Motorshow
Chris' column
Global insolvency may leave us without the cash to buy the new E Class when it arrives sometime next year, but the concept car Mercedes will show at Paris to preview the new car shows some real promise.
ConceptFascination, pictured above, is notable in two respects. First, it confirms the German obsession with the word
Chris' column
It is a loudmouth journalist’s prerogative to have an opinion –however misguided or ill-informed- on any subject. We can sound off about anything from blackberries to solid wood burners, with varying degrees of misinformation and bile, for as long as the surrounding company resists the urge to punch us. So why is it that I
