CAR interviewed McLaren Automotive chairman Ron Dennis for the November 2009 issue of CAR Magazine’s feature on the new McLaren MP4-12C supercar. Here are some of the out-takes from our interview – and video of Dennis talking us around McLaren’s new roadgoing supercar. Ron Dennis on… why build the MP4-12C ‘It’s understandable why people ask the question “why now”, but ...

Aston Martin at the Paris motor show 2008

Ben Barry, 03 October 2008 10:13

The buzz around Aston Martin continues. The now independent brand is teasing motor show visitors with a styling buck of the One-77 (the ultra-exclusive £1.2 million supercar that’ll be limited to a run of, yep, 77 when it arrives in 2009) that reveals just its front right and rear left aspects, plus there’s an automatic DBS on display and talk ...

Ferrari at the Paris motor show 2008

Ben Barry, 02 October 2008 14:37

The big news at Ferrari was the California – Maranello’s first coupe convertible and its first car to feature a dual-clutch semi-auto gearbox. Parked alongside the Ferrari F1 car, it looked more purposeful than we expected – though all the motor show cars were, tellingly, displayed roof down. But does anyone else find that front end treatment un peu Peugeot? ...

The new R35 Nissan GT-R makes its British competitive debut at Oulton Park on Saturday July 5. The car, a personal import brought in from Japan by UK tuning firm RC Developments, will be entered in stock trim in the clubman category of the Time Attack series.

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4

3.5

Ben Barry, 04 March 2008 20:35

What’s new on the Lamborghini stand? The Gallardo LP560-4. The 560 stands for the 560ps (552bhp) that’s come courtesy of the all-new 5.2-litre V10 engine (previously 5.0-litre and 520bhp – and 20kg heavier), the 4 relates to the four-wheel drive system that usually splits torque 30/70 front-to-rear. You’ll struggle to tell the LP560-4 apart from the old Gallardo, but the ...

Aston Martin at Geneva

Ben Barry, 04 March 2008 17:35

What’s new on Aston’s stand? Nothing. After a flurry of activity pre-Ford sale (V8 Vantage Roadster and DBS) and the recent V12 Vantage RS, it’s not surprising to find Aston Martin in something of a lull at Geneva. So there’s nothing new then, but motor show visitors will still get to see the gorgeous DB9 Volante and Coupe (complete with ...

Porsche Rennsport Reunion

Ben Barry, 05 December 2007 17:00

That’s quite some collection you’ve got there If only. This is a selection (yes, there were lots more) of Porsche race cars from the Rennsport Reunion held recently at Daytona Beach, Florida. The event runs every three years, organised by Brian Redman (of Can-Am and F1 fame) and his son James with a helping hand from Stuttgart. The 917-based racers ...

Nissan GT-R full details

Ben Barry, 24 October 2007 05:50

So the car they called Godzilla is back? It is indeed. We’ve been waiting for Nissan’s supercar scarer to return since the concept was unveiled back in 2001. And when the GT-R Proto teased us with near production car styling in 2005’s Tokyo show, we hoped it’d be with us before too long. But even though the GT-R goes on ...

Lamborghini Reventon

Ben Barry, 11 September 2007 03:41

What’s this? It looks like a Murcielago auditioning for the Batmobile! It’s actually the Lamborghini Reventon, a €1m special of which only 20 will be built. Named after a particularly feisty bull that killed bullfighter Felix Guzman in 1943, the Reventon features a 6.5-litre V12 producing 650bhp – just 10bhp up on the standard car with which it shares its ...
