In the current January 2012 issue of CAR Magazine, before anyone else, we’ve pitched the new Porsche 911 in Carrera S guise against the latest MY12 Nissan GT-R, BMW’s Competition Pack-spec M3, and Audi’s R8 V8. You can read Georg Kacher and Jethro Bovingdon's verdicts in the magazine, but here's a counterpoint from CAR's road test editor. The BMW M3 ...

Long Sutton has what is claimed to be the greenest community in England. They reckon they create enough electricity from solar power to charge up and ...

Quick question. What do you know about the Indian motor industry? I asked a couple of friends, car literate but not car nuts, before I set out for Delhi, and both cited the single fact that they still make the Hindustan Ambassador there (a 1950s Morris Oxford to anyone west of the Himalayas). We westerners have such a quaint and ...

Doing a spot of last-minute shopping for my four-year-old, I was sorely tempted to buy this superb £40 build-it-yourself Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Probably far too tricky for the boy but I would have loved to spend Christmas morning 'helping' him to put it together. It's heartening that model makers are still switched on to the latest hot cars. Car ...

God bless YouTube. Just put each title below into its search box for the maddest, oddest and funniest in-car action. How do we get any work done? Ben Oliver wrote this month's Top 10 for CAR Magazine's back page - and here we collate the action from YouTube for your festive delectation. Mike Hawthorn, Le Mans 1956 The grand-daddy of ...

The Porsche Experience Centre at Silverstone is a purpose-built facility that’s located just next to the Silverstone GP circuit, on a bit of land that once formed the super-special stages at Rally GB. These days there’s a swish showroom with a mix of new and classic metal, a restaurant, a short, twisty track that looks more like a British B-road ...

Best concept The Alfa 4C. Light, gorgeous, fast, economical. Exactly what Lotus should be doing rather than previewing bloated V8s. Best new supercar The McLaren MP4-12C. May lose out to the Ferrari 458 in seat-of-the-pants excitement but a technological titan. Brilliant mix of speed, comfort and refinement. Most exciting new car The Lamborghini Aventador. A good old-fashioned Lamborghini reworked for ...

Of all the anticipated new 2012 cars, the one I most want to drive is the slowest, the cheapest and the smallest. I can hardly wait to drive the new Renault Twizy. I’m told it will happen soon, well before UK sales start in spring next year. In fact, as I write I’m expecting the nice man from Renault to ...
