McLaren P1 & LaFerrari: witnessing the arrival of supercar royalty

McLaren P1 & LaFerrari: witnessing the arrival of supercar royalty

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 08 March 2013 16:40

The world premieres of the LaFerrari and McLaren P1 were special, rare moments: it’s a decade since Ferrari unveiled the Enzo, and twice that since McLaren stunned the world with the F1. Yet the planets all aligned at the 2013 Geneva motor show, where production versions of both supercar heavyweights’ latest flagships were shown, ten minutes and a few hundred ...

Gavin Green gets the inside story on Jaguar’s new C-X75

There are no 200mph-plus hybrid supercars on sale and then suddenly, like London buses, four come along all at once. The new Ferrari Enzo F150, mega McLaren P12, Porsche 918 Spyder and Jaguar C-X75 will all likely compete in the rarefied circa $1 million price band when they hit the road in a few years (probably 2013-14). But that’s where ...

It's set to be a battle of wildly-different drivetrain technologies at the 2012 24 Heures du Mans, which gets underway this weekend (16-17 June) at the illustrious Circuit de la Sarthe. With Peugeot having dropped its endurance racing programme due to budget concerns, this year's headline battle will be a straight fight between the dominant diesel Audis, and petrol Toyota ...

Phil McNamara: my 2012 Car of the Year verdict

Toyota Yaris0 points The Yaris has regressed from peppy millennium Car of the Year to an efficiently-packaged Honda Jazz-clone; it’s not remotely class-leading. Citroën DS51 point There’s much to love about the DS5: the sensational exterior design and high-quality cabin, a family car emitting 99g/km of CO2. But until the engineers develop cars with steering and ride as proficient as ...

Confusing, isn’t it? No, not trying to find your test car amongst a sea of identical silvery-blue BMWs, but trying to figure out the worth of hybrids. As the picture above will impart, this week I have driven the new BMW ActiveHybrid 5. And I was very impressed – it’s probably the best hybrid on sale today. But it’s essentially ...

Flew to Frankfurt a few weeks ago for the unveiling of the new BMW i electric cars, and very impressed I was too. Although still two years from production, the i3 (we’re told the concept is ‘very close’ to the showroom vehicle) is easily the most credible EV I have seen, not least because it has been conceived from scratch ...

Jaguar C-X75: the inside story behind eco supercar

Today's Jaguar C-X75 announcement tells us plenty about the health of Jaguar. That a small Midlands company can take on Porsche - which sells around twice as many cars each year - with a 200mph supercar as clean as a Prius speaks volumes about the ambition of Jag in 2011. Although they didn't say so explicitly, reading between the lines ...

Honda's CR-Z: the first hybrid with sports appeal

Drove the new Honda CR-Z hybrid coupe this week – and it knocked my socks off. Every year I reckon two or three cars come along and surprise me. The cars that deliver the greatest shock are often those when you're least expecting it; not fancy-named Modenese missiles, but more more mundane fare. Last year it was the Skoda Yeti ...

The new July 2010 issue of CAR Magazine dispatches the ever-adventurous Mark Walton on a road trip with a difference: he has to beat the dustcloud and return from Spain using only Honda machinery in less than 30 hours. That's the time it took HMS Albion to repatriate stranded tourists from Spain to the UK in the aftermath of the ...

Ever wondered just how powerful smartphones are? Or how they could be integrated into your car? OnStar in the US is working with Google on new Android smartphone apps that are claimed to work seamlessly in the new Chevrolet Volt plug-in hybrid. The mobile application will provide Volt customers with new ways of using your sat-nav. For instance, when you're ...
