If you’ve been paying attention to Formula 1, you might have witnessed something odd over the past 12 months or so. While officially there are 10 teams putting two cars each on the grid, an eleventh team has been spotted! And no, it’s not Mario Andretti and his Cadillac-backed Formula 1 plans making an early […]
It’s hard to imagine that the record-setting and boundaries-pushing Bugatti Veyron has already been with us for close to two decades. After years of testing, teasing and fine-tuning this mindblowing hypercar, the EB 16.4 Veyron was officially unveiled in 2005, carrying a bonkers 8.0 litre quad-turbocharged W16 powerhouse of an engine in the back, producing […]
I recently had the chance to see one of my car-related dreams being partially fulfilled; experiencing the Mille Miglia! It was a last-minute arrangement for me so I sadly could not get behind the wheel of a vintage sports or racing car, but it was a scintillating experience nonetheless. Spending a day-and-a-half in the rolling […]
Every year, a very select group of vintage cars and their owners are invited to the shored of Lake Como, for one of the most prestigious events on the calendar.

There have been plenty of examples where criminal activities entered the world of motorsports, and I’m sure that there […]
Both Morgan and Pininfarina are household names when it comes to car design. The British firm is known for its hand-built retro-styled roadsters and three-wheeled playthings, while the Italian studio is arguably one of the best in the business of designing show-stopping and supremely elegant cars. Both share over 200 years of coachbuilding history and […]
If you were to say one thing about the TWR Supercat that’s on your screen right now, it would be; Ferocious! And it would be a perfectly sensible way to describe the Supercat, as it is based on the XJ-S, essentially one of Jaguar’s last V12-powered ‘Big Cats’. This luxury Grand Tourer was built between […]
Please, repeat after me: ‘Ferrari Dodici Cilindri, Ferrari Dodici Cilindri’. Although it might be a fair bit easier to simply call it the V12, Ferrari wants you to call its latest masterpiece the 12Cilindri, or Dodici Cilindri, which is the Italian way of saying V12. A perfect example of why Italians are so, well, Italian. […]
In the world of drop-top sports cars, there is a special type of car built for hardcore enthusiasts of the open driving experience; the Speedster. This roofless concept is made famous by cars such as the Porsche 356 and 911 Speedster, the Morgan Speedster and the Auburn Speedster. In more recent times, cars like the […]
