Five years ago, I drove my first ever Porsche, a Cayman. Not a special Cayman, an entry level, poverty spec, run of the mill 2.7 litre Cayman. 275 bhp and 290 Nm of torque. 0-62 in 5.7 seconds. Over the next week, my mind was blown. Simply put, the Porsche Cayman was THE best car […]

Rarely in the world of crossovers does the word ‘Sporty’ come to mind. As much as all the marketing material will have you believe seldom can it be that such a car possesses any sort of sporting ability, until now. Alfa’s Stelvio came out last year, and yes there’s a fire breathing Ferrari engined V6 […]

It’s not often you say a McLaren lacks precision, feels lardy or doesn’t inspire confidence. However, all those things became apparent when driving the 570S and 600LT back to back. We were at the Hungaroring to put the latest, and possibly finest ever McLaren to the test. First, we needed a benchmark and having driven […]
A year or two ago I got the chance to drive the all-new Mustang around Millbrook. There’s a circuit there called the ‘Hill Route’, it aims to mimic the flow and undulations of a tight road sweeping through the Swiss Alps, what better way to see how well this new ‘stang corners?! After all, its […]

If you’re after a fast Jag saloon options are currently limited. The fire breathing XFRS has long since been culled, there is the XE SV Project 8, but that’s limited numbers and at £150k rather pricey. So, your choices are the XF S or the XE S, both powered by the same 3.0 litre supercharged […]

SUV, it stands for Sports Utility Vehicle. That lead word, ‘Sports’ has become somewhat lost along the way. Most recent SUV’s are just huge great off-roaders with little to no actual performance apart from some average straight-line speed. Maserati has changed that. When they announced the Levante everyone thought the company was jumping on the […]

Having driven Audi’s TT before, in entry level guise we thought it was time to check out its most potent form, the RS. Starting from £52,450, our TT had a few choice options, including £4,695 ceramic brakes, upgraded 20’ 7 spoke alloys, and a couple of thousand spent here and there. Total cost of this […]

Quick Audi’s tend to be a love, hate affair. Some are sublime, others downright awful. So jumping into the 2018 RS4 Avant I wasn’t sure what I’d end up with. With a starting price of £62,175 this particular Nardo Grey wagon had a ton of extras thrown at it, over ten grands worth in fact. […]

I absolutely adored the old V60 Polestar, it was the kill yourself quick estate that just kept egging you on. With a soundtrack to match it was the perfect sleeper car that could also lug your family around in comfort. But the big ‘ole inline six has been ditched in a streamlining move by Volvo. […]
