A few years ago, I sat next to one of the bosses at Lamborghini, who told me, in a spittle-speckled table-thumping rage, that if he was ever forced to make an electric car, he would shoot himself. I felt sorry for the man. So, I made sympathetic noises, and we…
The world of ‘restomods’ is finally expanding beyond vintage 911s with surprise additions like this ‘Project MA-01’ from a company called Modena Automobili. It’s a reincarnation of the much-loved Maserati Biturbo Shamal from the 1990s and thankfully it fixes all the period issues of that car, while retaining the good…
So, Porsche has taken a four-wheel-drive 911 GTS, fitted it with underbody protection and some beefed-up suspension, and called it the Dakar. Which is the coastal Senegalese city that people used to race to from Paris, back in the days when people thought Isis was a peaceful and trouty river…
What you see here is Rolls Royce’s newest driver-focussed coupé. It’s called the Spectre and, even if it’s a four-seat fastback with a long bonnet and two rear-hinged doors, it is not actually a direct replacement for the discontinued Wraith. (The Spectre’s 420,000 USD price tag and lengthier size actually…
I was recently invited to Scotland, by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), to test their latest and greatest halo model, the 2025 twin-turbo V8 Range Rover SV, and though I will be writing up that story separately, I also wanted to draw attention to the fact that I had the good…
I’ve always thought that an Aston Martin is a very refined choice for someone looking to buy a modern dream car. Indeed, not only are Astons stunning to look at, but they also come with a lot of positive brand equity: they’re rare, they’re loved, and they’re respected. As a…
Vehicle manufacturers don’t tend to come from emerging markets but then again Bandit9 is no ordinary company. Based out of Vietnam’s Ho Chi Minh City, they’ve been customising motorcycles for years but now they’re trying their hand at EVs too, and boy is their first effort – the Monaco –…
Everything about the Czinger 21C is extraordinary. It’s an American hypercar, limited to 80 units, which was created using AI and 3D print technology and, as a result, it has the entire automotive industry paying close attention. It’s neither left-hand-drive nor right-hand-drive but rather goes for a central 1+1 layout.…
1. The RS e-Tron GT is beautiful, well proportioned and purposeful but the fact it avoids flamboyance means we were surprised by how many “wow” reactions it generated from others. The Iron Man effect? 2. Unlike Audi’s mainstream EVs, the e-tron GT doesn’t share its underpinnings with cars across the…
In an age of disruption, businesses live and die by their ability to adapt. That’s because, for global enterprises, innovation and change are the twin engines of growth, competitive advantage, and success. Yet, instigating change is so much easier said than done, and companies often struggle in their pursuit of…
