Renault Megane Coupe Concept CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Ged Maxwell, 31 March 2008 09:07

Even Renault people admit the current Megane is something of a Marmite car: you either love it or hate it. But that could be about to change as Renault reveals a replacement this autumn.  Where does the Coupe Concept fit into that plan? It gives an idea of what the current Megane’s successor will look like when a production version is unveiled ...

Aston Martin V12 Vantage RS concept CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Nick Trott, 19 March 2008 09:15

Aston Martin's V12 Vantage RS. Big engine, little car. It’s a concept many of the great performance cars have employed. Take a powerful engine from your biggest car and stuff it into your smallest car to create a proper factory hot rod. In this case Aston has wedged the 600bhp V12 from no less than the DBRS9 racer under the ...

Peugeot RC Z concept CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

James Foxall, 07 February 2008 14:16

Peugeot has a history of occasional sublime moments of car design punctuating regular functionality. Think 402 from 1935, the 504 Coupe unveiled in 1969 and more recently the 406 Coupe. The 308 RC Z is certainly eye catching. But when it’s launched against Volkswagen’s all-new Scirocco can it live up to its illustrious Peugeot predecessors? Is the RC Z definitely going to ...

Kia Kee concept CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 22 October 2007 10:13

This Kia’s called the Kee. Is it the key to a bright future? If you talk to the firm’s design chief Peter Schreyer it is. That grille is the future look of all Kias. He wants the company’s cars to be instantly recognisable from 100 metres away, rather like BMWs or Audis are. And he believes the Kee’s front end ...

Ford Verve concept CAR review

Rated 4 out of 5

Anonymous, 15 October 2007 10:11

Ford Verve? Isn’t that the Fiesta replacement? It certainly is, although by the time it goes on sale in November 2008 it’ll probably be called Fiesta again. Whatever the name, the new car will have a radical new look that’s previewed by this concept model. Ford consulted female buyers and they wanted something that would stand out a bit more ...

Volvo XC60 concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 09 October 2007 09:27

Volvo already has a couple of off-roaders. What does it need another one for? The Swedes claim that people who want to do off-roady things like driving down dirt tracks and towing horseboxes will go for its XC70 and XC90 models. The XC60 is being aimed at design-conscious townies who want an on-road vehicle with a tiny bit of off-road ...

Chrysler Nassau concept CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 13 August 2007 05:52

So, is this the new Chrysler 300C then? In a way, yes. The 300C gets a refresh late this year – and it’s likely to be the last for the popular and increasingly genre-defining American executive car. Replacing it won’t be easy, but the Nassau is a clear statement of intent from Chrysler. It’s based on the current 300C’s 120-inch ...

Renault Clio Grand Tour concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 08 August 2007 08:31

It’s called the Grand Tour but it looks just like a Clio Estate to me… Well spotted - that’s exactly what this is. It's simply the concept version that was built for the Geneva Motor Show 2007 as a preview to the Estate. Renault is revealing a proper roadgoing version at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September. The car we’ve ...

Ford Interceptor concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 23 July 2007 03:38

This Interceptor looks the business, can I buy one? It’s Ford’s take on a super-saloon rival to the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 and BMW M5 and is called the Interceptor after one of the Blue Oval’s US police cars. This new model’s been based around the mechanicals of the latest generation Ford Mustang with a slightly stretched floorpan. It's a concept ...

Kia Exceed Cabrio concept CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 10 July 2007 09:15

Sexy car from Kia shock! That’s right. When Peter Schreyer (who oversaw the design of the original Audi TT and new Beetle in his time at the VW group) took over as head of design for the Koreans he identified correctly that the firm needed a halo car - essentially a Kia that would turn people on. Well, this is ...
