- 2007 Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (997.1) The 997 is one of those cars which still looks modern today. It retains the classic, or dare we say, “iconic” 911 silhouette but has aged so well it barely looks four years old let alone 15. A tidy white example! Sitting on the iconic “Lobster claw” alloys which became as synonymous on the […]

- 2016 Bentley Continental GT Ettore Bugatti once described a Bentley as the fastest truck in the world. You might argue, if you are British, that he said it was the fastest lorry. Well, what he actually said was “Le camion plus vite du monde“. In French it almost sounds romantic but of course it was nothing less than a slap […]
- 2019 Porsche 911 GTS (991.2) Plenty of decoration surrounds the GTS package. The heart of the 911 Carrera GTS’s brilliance is the engine.

It swells and throbs as if ventricles were contracting and heaving oxygenated blood up through the 911’s aorta into the blood vessels throughout the car’s muscles. It’s […]

- 2018 Ferrari 812 Superfast. The Ferrari F12 was hardly short of firepower, but you don’t get ahead by standing still, so it came as no surprise when the Italian brand launched an even faster flagship. Designed to humble the likes of the Lamborghini Aventador S and McLaren 720S, the Ferrari 812 Superfast goes its own, front-engined way in the pursuit […]
