It’s interesting to note that Rolls-Royce has continually avoided ever calling their first four-wheel drive an SUV. And while they apparently wanted to underplay its considerable capabilities by persistently calling it a “high-sided vehicle” during the run up to its debut, you shouldn’t for a second doubt its capacity to…

Such is the importance of the Gladiator to Jeep’s global customer base, and crucially not just its American one, that FCA (the acronym for the Italian-American Fiat Chrysler Automobiles corporation) thought fit to invite a handful of press from the Middle East to its global unveiling at the LA Auto…
Though it might look like it, no cars were harmed in the making of Fabian Oefner’s works of art. Instead, the young Swiss artist took apart model sets in a process he likens to peeling an onion. Painstakingly laying out the composition of the image in sketches, he then suspended…
It’s a funny thing but after flying all the way to Muscat in Oman to test drive Audi’s latest SUV, my first impression upon getting into the Q8 was actually one of confusion. You see, this car carries an enormous weight of expectation and that’s of course because it’s a…
The McLaren 720S is the new benchmark of supercars, beating the best of what Ferrari and Lamborghini have to offer with a wider breadth of ability. That’s quite something considering the company has only been around eight years. (Okay so they’ve actually been around as a race team since 1963,…

From there we took a trail and journeyed up through dense foliage into the…
In September we were invited to San Francisco to witness the future of Audi, and the future it seems is quiet, expensive and electric. But let’s not ignore how consumers are now buying more fossil-fuelled SUVs than ever before, so the question is: why is Audi messing with a good…
If the Veyron rewrote the book when it comes to hypercars, the Chiron represents Bugatti’s next volume. Harder, better, faster, stronger – we uncovered all you need to know about this Ultimate Car at its US launch in Pebble Beach. They say there’s a fine line between madness and genius.…
It was the right idea at the wrong time. These days Porsche builds something like 170,000 SUVs a year but there was a time when the company was so invested in the 911 product line – as a business, and an automotive sub-culture – that doing something else was considered…
Set against the idyllic views of Lake Como, the annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is an automotive event quite unlike any other. Architects have the Pritzker. Actors have the Oscars. Singers have the Grammies. And cars – well, not just any cars but the finest, rarest and most expensive ones…
