Lamborghini Countach - Cannonball Run

3.5

Ged Maxwell, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 39 Year of release: 1981 The car: Black Lambo Countach driven by the beautiful Jill Rivers and Marcie Thatcher. Why it’s special: The film is based on the real Cannonball Run (of sorts) – an illegal road race organised by car journo and the movie’s screenwriter Brock Yates. The movie jammed with interesting cars, chases and a star-studded cast all ...

Plymouth Fury - Christine

3.5

Ged Maxwell, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 31 Year of release: 1983 The car: A bright red and white 1958 Plymouth Fury – with supernatural powers. Why it’s special: Just look at it. This is a time when Chrysler group cars were beautiful. Best bit: What’s not to like about a Plymouth Fury that takes it upon itself to chase bullies and baddies in and out of ...

Dodge Monaco - Blues Brothers

3.5

Ged Maxwell, 20 October 2008 14:21

Ranking: 25 Year of release: 1980 The car: Surely one of the definitive Yankee cop cars of all time. Why it’s special: Sums up everything we love about American police vehicles: this thing rolls (check out the lean during press-on cornering), roars (that 440cu in lump sounds great) and just looks downright incongruous with the tirelessly cool Jake and Elwood ...

Land Rover at the Paris motor show 2008

Ged Maxwell, 06 October 2008 09:57

Land Rover unveiled its most fuel-efficient car ever at the French motor show: the new Freelander TD4_e Stop/Start. No prizes for guessing it's a diesel 4x4, whose economy is improved by 3.8mpg and CO2 falls by 8 percent. Tell me more about the Freelander TD4_e Stop/StartLand Rover has been harping on about its new green technologies for quite a while ...

Renault Megane Coupe Concept (2008) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

Mercedes SL facelift (2008): first official pictures

Ged Maxwell, 23 January 2008 10:20

With inspiration apparently coming from the stunning 1954 Gullwing, this is Mercedes' facelifted SL. With a new entry-level engine, Merc's clever Airscarf system, and a different front end, this second and final facelift should see the SL through until the next decade. That new nose is the most obvious change. The quad headlamps are replaced by twin CLS-style items, while the front ...

Mercedes C220 CDI estate (2007) review

4.5

Ged Maxwell, 19 September 2007 05:30

Ooh, a compact exec estate. What combination of sport/tourer/Avant/wagon is it called? None: the Mercedes C-Class estate is, well, just that. Plain old estate. And the largest premium-class estate at that. How very sensible. Mercedes may have been unusually bold in its approach to the latest C – hacking off the stick-up grille badge for Sport editions, making the chassis ...

BMW M5 Touring (2007) CAR review

Ged Maxwell, 08 August 2007 11:22

An M5 with a massive boot - sounds win-win to me. It is, almost. The anomalous M5 Touring is M-division chalk to the M6 convertible's cheese. Both have the same 500bhp V10, yet that the M5 looks absolutely stunning and completely purposeful only serves to emphasise the M6's excesses. But the touring is not perfect, suffering from exactly the same ...

Renault Twingo GT 1.2 TCE (2007) CAR review

Ged Maxwell, 08 August 2007 04:04

A small car from Renault... you mean smaller than the Clio and Modus? Yes, that'll be the Twingo. Don't let the chunky looks fool you – this is very definitely pitched below the Clio in size and price, with a kick-off price tag below £8500. It'll only ever be a three-door model, and Renault is aiming it squarely at young, ...
