Aston Martin DB5
"See the gear lever here? Now if you take the top off, you will find a little red button. Whatever you do, don't touch it."

Range Rover Sport 2010
“What would you say is the best off-road vehicle in the world?” I asked the grizzled old ghillie who had re-trained as an off-road driving instructor for the nearby Highland hotel...

Mercedes E63 AMG
More than any other marque, Mercedes-Benz has perfected the art of making cars that can do everything. OK, they don’t fly (yet). But apart from that minor technicality, they tick just about every box you can throw at them.

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S
Something very strange happens to a person when they get into the driver’s seat of a car – and I’m not talking about the tendency of even the most unassuming folk to turn into raving lunatics hellbent on getting every other driver off the road.

It is a curious thing that the most eye-catching attribute of the Aston Martin DBS Volante, the one that really gets heads turning and that is its most fun component, is something that isn’t actually there.

Porsche Panamera Turbo
If you’ve seen Michael Bay’s Transformers movies you’ll know there are only two good things about them: the ’bots and the bods. With the former, it’s Bumbleebee – a robot that turns into a Chevy Camaro (a car so aggressive it can make a Corvette cry with one blip of the throttle). With the latter, it’s Megan Fox – an actress who embodies the ‘can’t act, doesn’t weigh much’ generation. Ah… the lovely Miss Fox… Fox by name, fox by nature. She can wax my car any day… Er, where was I?
