Rated 3 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 24 November 2008 09:00

Today's launch of the new Porsche Panamera is a timely reminder that Porsche is no stranger to controversy.

The new Panamera sports saloon is going to reignite plenty more controversy, trust us. Porsche today ...

These are our first pictures inside the Lamborghini Estoque's cabin – and they show what drivers might expect in the cabin of a Lambo saloon in three years’ time if this Paris motor show concept gets the green light.

Rated 4 out of 5

Chris Chilton, 01 October 2008 20:00

After Lamborghini's endless string of frustrating teaser shots, here, finally, are the full pictures of the Aston Rapide-rivalling four-seat Lamborghini supersaloon, the Estoque.

Haven't you heard, ...

You know how it goes. You’re a car manufacturer with a factory full of soon to be obsolete cars and they need shifting before the new model arrives. So you slap on a couple of new badges, tweak the interior trim and throw in a couple of options to help smooth their passage. Or, if you’re Bentley, you do the ...

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 18 September 2008 17:00

These are the first pictures of the new Mercedes S400 BlueHybrid. With a combined economy figure of 35.8mpg and a CO2 rating of just 190g/km, Mercedes claims it is the world’s most economical petrol-powered luxury saloon.

Porsche Panamera (2009) first photos, video, podcast and... jazz song!

Rated 4 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 15 September 2008 14:00

This is the first undisguised photograph of the new Porsche Panamera four-door saloon. It may be lacking disguise, but there's precious little we can see in this artfully cropped first picture of the Panamera.
