The definitive modern American muscle car: Cadillac CTS-V
You can’t help but look, can you? Over-sized, bulging muscles, ripped to the core and just as hard, we should be talking about body-builders. Instead, we’re pointing your eyeballs at the Cadillac CTS-V – a car we won’t hesitate to label the ultimate modern US muscle car. And it’s a sedan. There’s so much history [...]

A man, a machine, a road: Senna and the Monaco run
We’re more often amused than inspired by Top Gear but last night’s episode reminded us of a little clip that has been lying dormant on our hard drive for over seven years now; one that’s too inspiring and awesome not to share with our two Prodigal fans.

CAR Magazine drifts two Jaguar XFRs around Anglesey race circuit
‘Ello, ‘ello, ‘ello. What’s all this then? CAR Magazine normally leaves the loutish behaviour to Evo. It seems though that they’ve tired of being the sensible, staid men of the British motoring press. In an act of uncharacteristic rebellion, they’ve taken it upon themselves to book Anglesey race circuit for two days and then spend [...]

Three hours at Brands Hatch fry our brakes and kill our tyres
We love our Audi S4. Love it. If getting four people and their luggage from A to B as quickly and safely as possible is your goal, then there are very few cars on the planet as capable as the little terrior from Ingolstadt. And for the great majority of the time, that’s what our [...]
