I find this hard to believe... but the humble Vauxhall Frontera is celebrating its 30th birthday! It was first seen at the Geneva Motor Show in 1991. The Frontera was built at the Vauxhall factory in Luton. In 1993 it became the best selling off-road vehicle in Europe - with more than 320,000 units sold. The [...]
This is the unique Ferrari Omologata, a one-off that was commissioned by a European Ferrari client. The Ferrari Omologata is based on a 812 Superfast but only the windscreen and headlights are the same. The whole project took just over two years to complete. The interior seats are finished in Jeans Aunde® fabric with 4-point [...]
It has been 15 years since production first started on the record breaking hyper sports car the Bugatti Veyron 16.4. The Veyron is capable of travelling from 0 to 62 mph in 2.5 seconds with a top speed of 249 mph. 300 Veyron 16.4 Coupes and 150 roadsters were produced, over a 10 year period, [...]

Prices start from £37,480 for the 520i SE saloon or £39,790 for the estate version. I am sure that a full-blooded M5 version will be launched later but for now [...]

Volkswagen have announced that the world premiere for the all new T-Roc will be on 23rd of August 2017. This is VW's first Crossover vehicle.
