“And brake” said Paul, my instructor, as we approached the tight right-hander at the end of the straightaway . I ignored him for a fraction of a second, nudging 90mph before hitting the anchors. Hard.

"The standard Lotus Elise produces 136bhp from a 1.6-litre Toyota four-pot" . Blah, blah, blah. What does that mean in real-life chat, eh? A 0-60 miles an hour sprint of 6.7 seconds.

This is quite possibly the best news I’ve heard for some time . Nissan has confirmed that they’re going to build a “limited” number of Juke-Rs, the mad-as-a-hatter GTR-based crossover that caused such a media storm when it debuted in Dubai earlier this year.

If Carlsberg did Motor Shows , they’d probably look an awful lot like Top Marques, the most extravagant display of wealth this side of a Saudi Prince’s lounge.

A Mercedes SLS AMG is a little over £168,000 , and that’s before you’ve tackled the notorious options list on which you’ll find a £6k option for “Interior Carbon” (gulp). This could easily see the price of an SLS sky rocket to well over £200,000.

Sorry folks, but “The Biebs” is at it again . Obviously not content with his impossibly shiny Fisker Karma, Mr Bieber has only gone and bought himself a tiny-little smart fortwo. What a tool. Biebs, not the car.

Well, it’s finally happened . Audi, the purveyors of big silver saloons for angry businessmen, have stumped up 860 million Euros for legendary Italian motorcycle manufacturer Ducati. And to think Facebook paid only a fraction more for a photo filters iPhone application!

Even when Toyota first set about designing the GT 86 , they foresaw the unprecedented clamor from tuners to make their mark on the eagerly anticipated coupe.

If you were to travel back in time and tell the men who designed the very first Land Rovers, Jeeps and the like that one day in the not-too-distant future you’d be able to buy, at great expense no less, a 4x4 thats raison d'être is to be as fast as possible on road, they’d either keel over backwards, or punch you very

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you replaced the wheels of your car with tank-tracks? No, me neither. But that shouldn’t stop us from reveling in the sheer audacity of this fully “tracked” 196,000 mile (blimey!) 2002 Subaru Impreza that popped up on eBay the other day.

Footballers possess skills most of us can't begin to understand. Not when it comes to driving and cars, however...

The Range Rover Sport. Coming soon to a football club near you

That's one less Corsa on the roads. We had to sacrifice an Aston, mind...

They’re coming, gathering menacingly on the periphery of Europe’s automotive industry like a flock of knock-off iPhones. It’s the Attack of the Chinese Clones...
