A new British sports car company has been created with a grand old name and a tub-thumpingly British (and really rather attractive) logo to go with it. Sadly that’s about…
Not all progress is in the right direction. We have watched for years as cars have grown heavier and less responsive and have required ever more powerful engines just to…
Hidden away at Southampton University is an engineering doctorate student called Rich McIlroy. He can be found in a pokey little room that is filled, almost entirely, by a Jaguar…
I recently spent a week in Japan attending the Tokyo Motorshow and, among other less relevant things, driving the new Honda Civic Type-R. And when I explained the mechanics of…
