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…
It’s a key moment in time for Aston Martin. Let’s not forget that the company, which is now owned by Kuwaiti and Italian investment firms, has gone bankrupt seven times in its 115-year history and, up until 2017, it had posted an annual loss for six years running. Yet, under…

Now, before you go…
The once perilously fast Mille Miglia road race may have turned into a bit of beauty parade but it’s still a one-of-a-kind occasion that’ll get enthusiasts’ adrenaline pumping. The Mille Miglia (which means 1,000 miles in Italian) was an open-road endurance race that was established by the young Count Aymo…
At the beginning of this year something rather remarkable happened in the automotive world: Mercedes-Benz overtook BMW to become the world’s number one luxury car brand. Though the two motoring rivals have seemingly always been embroiled in a sales war, BMW has held the upper hand since 2005. But the…
With competition in luxury vehicle sales growing ever more intense, Lexus is aiming to differentiate itself by allowing people to experience the brand beyond its cars. Lexus showcased a new tagline during its last Super Bowl ad in the US, announcing a younger, more agile brand that’s ready to mix…
