This is the first time in Formula One history that four drivers have still been in the hunt for the Drivers’ title going into the last race. There are numerous permutations that could [...]

Porsche has confirmed it will be offering a world premiere at the LA Auto Show. Of course, not much is given away, other than saying, “A mid-engine sports car which will be unveiled during a press conference at 10:55am on November 17.” Our news from June tells us this is likely to be a lightweight [...]

One of Formula One’s most revered racing liveries will be making a return in 2011 with news that Lotus will be turning out in a new gold and black colour scheme.

You’re looking at the Volkswagen Golf blue-e-motion. It looks most like any other Golf, except this one is a fully electric creation. VW say it will commence sales in late 2013; Australian buyers will have to wait until 2014. The front-wheel drive Golf blue-e-motion has an electric motor under the bonnet in the traditional position [...]

It’s somewhat ironic that the Lamborghini LM002 is one of the coolest SUVs around. In general, SUVs, especially those from Germany, are little more than a status symbol screaming out “look how rich I am!” But the LM002 was created in the mid 1980s. Sure, excesses were obscene back then, too, but this was a [...]

A couple of months ago a UK court ruled in favour of Ben Collins, the man formerly known as The Stig, allowing him to publish his autobiography.

The Audi rumour mill has well an truly hit over drive in regards to the hottest version of its A1 platform. First, it was all about the S1. But Audi pulled the pin when they said they couldn’t fit quattro to the little pocket rocket and the car formerly known as the S1 simply became [...]

According to official VFACTS data things pretty much stood still last month in regards to new car sales. That is, sales rose by a tiny 0.1% (112 vehicles) compared to October 2009. Little surprise, then, that most manufacturers have kept quiet. Although, FCAI Chief Executive Andrew McKellar, tells us not to worry because last October [...]

The Brazilian Grand Prix has been run and won. Red Bull Racing have taken the last of the lollies from the Constructors’ jar; well done them, it’s a ripping effort.
