Record Ferrari parade at Silverstone (2012)

Rated 4 out of 54

Rory Smith, 18 September 2012 09:01

It's been some time since we've seen traffic like this on one of the UK's best known racetracks. All of the necessary evidence has now been submitted to confirm the 964-strong meeting of Ferraris at Silverstone to be a Guinness world record. Felipe Massa led the parade at the wheel of a 458 Spider, while the 964 cars shattered the ...

Video: every James Bond - in one car chase

Video: every James Bond - in one car chase
As always, the 007 hype goes through the roof when there's a new Bond film on the way, and with Skyfall set to hit silver screens in October 2012, we're already salivating over the prospect of another classic Bond chase sequence to join the memorable scenes from movies gone by. If you're a Bond chase fan, this Sky promo video ...

Gordon Murray documentary on BBC4: CAR's preview

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 06 July 2012 11:00

We originally ran this story in March 2012, but the BBC moved the schedule. It's now been confirmed the documentary will run this Sunday 8 July 2012 at 8.00pm (BST) after the British grand prix. Now this is why we pay our licence fees. BBC4 has shot an hour-long documentary on Gordon Murray which intersperses his extraordinary 40-year history designing some ...

Road rage and me: a personal view

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 16 May 2012 07:00

Some people will scoff at this, but I like to think of myself as a fair and considerate driver: I don’t undertake people, I don’t tailgate (okay, I sometimes give dodderers a gentle push out of the fast lane, and there’s another caveat below, but bear with me), I stick to my urban speed limits, and on motorways and dual ...

The madness of a tuned Mercedes: the Carlsson C25

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 05 March 2010 16:00

Amongst the stars of the 2010 Geneva motor show (Porsche 918 Spyder, Pininfarina 2uettottanta, etc) there were also some utterly awful cars. The worst was the Mansory Rolls-Royce Ghost, a blue and gold monstrosity but with floor mats that didn’t match the external colour scheme. There was the FAB Design SLR too, though in no way was it fab. But ...

In praise of Audi’s brilliant R8 supercar

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 09 June 2009 09:46

I drove Audi’s R8 last week. Yes, yes, I know it was launched ages ago but I somehow missed every opportunity to drive it over the past 18 months. And every R8 road test that I read – and hell, it seemed there’s been a new one each week – only whetted my appetite for a punt in Audi’s first ...

Will supercars survive, asks Gavin Green

Rated 4 out of 54

Gavin Green, 06 August 2008 10:39

With oil at $130 a barrel, petrol at £1.20 a litre, our roads traffic clogged, our police force ever more vigilant against ‘speeding’ and eco green taking over from Italian racing red as motoring’s colour of choice, whither the supercar? Well fear not, anxious reader. The supercar will be just fine. We’ve been here before. The ‘oil’ crisis of the ...

Why little boys love supercars

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 01 August 2008 10:50

My 21-month-old son already has an unhealthy obsession with all things four-wheeled: tractors and cars, lorries and trolleys. You name it, he loves it. Pushing them around the floor. Up table legs. Along beds. And you know what? His favourite mode of four-wheeled transport appears to be the supercar. I should hasten to add that I’m not forcing my son ...
