Aventador SVJ – V12 Lamborghini Insanity

The Lamborghini Aventador SVJ has had its official world debut during Monterey Car Week. It’s wild, it’s limited and it’s expensive. It’s also incredibly quick, bowel-emptyingly expensive but bound to be the greatest V12 supercar from Sant’ Agata. We drove…

Audi PB18 – Light Electric Supercar

The Audi PB18 was unveiled yesterday at the annual poshfest at Pebble Beach.  Ingolstadts’s commitment to electric cars continues with a very pretty – and working – electric supercar concept. Despite almost nobody buying the R8 e-tron, Audi persists. And…

Infiniti Prototype 10 Unveiled

The Infiniti Prototype 10 is the Japanese luxury maker’s Monterey show car. And, let’s be honest, it’s a cry for attention. Infiniti has struggled for the sort of success of compatriot Lexus, so the company has gone big. The Prototype…

2018 Honda Civic Type R

The Honda Civic Type R is back. I mean properly back in its pre-millenial completely mad, in-your-face hot hatch form. Honda used to be cool. I’m talking 1990s Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna duking it out cool. NSX, S2000, Prelude,…

Daniel Ricciardo Leaving Red Bull

Daniel Ricciardo is leaving Red Bull. This is proper bombshell stuff, the sort of thing that can really only happen in Formula 1. It’s a bombshell because as late as last weekend’s Hungarian Grand Prix, word was he was staying…

Links We Like: Ford Focus, VW Tiguan, Jaguar E-Pace

Links We Like is a roundup of the stuff I’ve been up to around the traps as well as other people I like. It has been a tad busy for me, what with a short holiday and then a quick…

Porsche 919 Nürburgring: Lap Time Shredded

The Porsche 919 Hybrid Evo has shredded the Nürburgring lap time set three decades ago by Stefan Bellof. I mean, seriously. This thing is so fast it barely registered with me, I thought it was fake news. But it sunk…
