The fans of funky little cars all over Britain rejoice as the new 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus becomes available to order today! The quirky French hatchback won’t reach the showrooms until April, but you can secure yours right now from just £17,265. Based on Citroen Advanced Comfort programme with comfort seats and Progressive Hydraulic cushions, the 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus is probably the most comfortable and relaxing car in its class. That is a highly desirable quality if you predominantly use it in busy city centers. The B-road travelers may find that the safe comfort results in less than savory handling around the coers. Not that the Cactus is fast enough to get you in trouble around coers. The engine lineup includes three 3-cylinder PureTech petrol engines and a highly efficient BlueHDi 100 S&S diesel unit. [embedded content] While tamer than its predecessor, the 2018 Citroen C4 Cactus still has a kind of niche design that does not appeal to everybody. But if you get past that, you will be rewarded with an amazing array of technology features. The new Cactus can be specified with Active Safety Brake, Grip Control and Lane Departure Waing as well as Citroen Connect Nav, , ...ادامه مطلب

Just in time for Christmas JLR has announced an “ultra-versatile” version of the Disco in the UK market. The new 2018 Land Rover Discovery Commercial is the ideal car to carry lots of boxes of presents, or tow a huge Xmas tree. The only problem the car won’t be released until the second quarter of next year.  But they, that gives you an excuse not to get a tree this year, and limit the presents to small, cheap items. What are yo gonna do, your regular Discovery does not enough room! You can promise your kids next year you will get the Land Rover Discovery Commercial which has up to 1,856 litres of flexible load space and can tow up to legal UK limit of 3.5 tonnes. To put these numbers in perspective, Land Rover actually fitted 300 boxes of Bloom & Wild mini Christmas Trees into this car: [embedded content] Design-wise, while the overall looks are standard Disco, rear window concealment panels are masked by privacy glass so Discovery Commercial can be undistinguishable as a commercial vehicle if desired. 2018 Land Rover Discovery Commercial can be ordered with JLR’s Ingenium 2.0D SD4 240HP and 3.0D TD6 258HP engines. The all-wheel drive, Terrain Response and multi-link , ...ادامه مطلب

We really did not think that something like the Maybach G650 Landaulet could possibly have a rival, but we were wrong. In our defense that is such a niche vehicle, no one would be inclined to invest in making such a thing… no one except the eccentric visionary Afzal Kahn, it tus out. He has just teased the Kahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top which is a direct attempt at the Landaulet’s life.  On the face of it comparing a wonky Land Rover, which is what Kahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top is based on, to the unique Mercedes G-Class, which is what the Maybach G650 is based on, seems idiotic. Of course the Mercedes is a superior product. But you see, the Hunstman is no ordinary Land Rover. It is a completely bespoke car, every part of which is improved and when necessary redesigned from scratch by Kahn artisans. Granted, it still may not be as spacious or as comfortable as the big G, but calling it just as classy and luxurious is not stretching the truth. There are obvious advantages with Kahn Flying Huntsman 6×6 Soft Top as well. For starters, it’s a 6×6 whereas the G650 has only, I mean only, four wheels. The British car also seems to have a much neater folding soft top than, ...ادامه مطلب

The drop-top version of the drop-dead gorgeous DB11 goes official, introducing the charms of alfresco motoring to the super GT’s magnificent blend of sensuality and performance. The 2018 Aston Martin DB11 Volante gets a new V8 engine instead of the big V12. But this engine is perfect for the roadster.  The new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8 engine develops 510 horsepower in the Aston Martin DB11 Volante, as it does in the AMG GT S from which it is borrowed. That is plenty good enough for an open-top gran tourer because this is not a car build for race track or a fast trek through twisty b-roads. This car is built for cruising, and a smooth and sweet-sounding V8 like this unit is just perfect. You can still enjoy bouts of spirited driving though, as DB11 Volante comes with three driving modes. They alter the feel of driving by changing the settings of 8-speed paddle-shift automatic transmission, electric power steering and limited-slip differential. The convertible roof on the Aston Martin DB11 Volante is an all-new 8-layer affair which promises perfect performance in terms of sound proofing.  takes just 14 seconds to lower and 16 to close and can be operated remotely from the key, or on the move at speeds of up to 31mph with a 31mph headwind. The roof can be ordered in bordeaux red, black silver or grey silver. DB11 Volante will go on sale in spring of 2018, priced from £159,900 in the UK, €199,000 in Germany and $216,495 in USA.

Move aside, Cayenne Turbo. There is a new fastest production SUV around and it’s in no mood to be messed with!

The big 4×4 went around the Green Hell in 7 minutes 51.7 second. The lap time of Alfa Romeo Stelvio QV is a full eight second quicker than the previo, ...ادامه مطلب

Land Rover never shies away from extreme stunts that challenge the capabilities of their cars. In fact, they welcome it. This time they have gone to the Australian Outback to prove the 2018 Land Rover Discovery is a towing king… by hooking it up to a 110-tonne road train.  A road train is a convoy of lorries linked together and pulled by a massive tractor up front. To even think that a regular, ...ادامه مطلب

Back in 1965, the Ford Mustang was one of the coolest cars in America, probably the car of the moment. Everyone talked about Ford’s new sports car and the Dearbo based carmaker was on its way to sell 400,000 units in the first production year, a lot more than the initial estimates of 100,000 units (they sold those cars in the first three months). It was the car every teenager in the United Stat, ...ادامه مطلب

After SVO and SVR, Jaguar Land Rover now adds a third moniker for high-performance models, the SVX. This new one deals with fast and extra-rugged all-terrain vehicles, and its first outcome is Land Rover Discovery SVX presented at the Frankfurt Motor Show.  The treatment to make the Land Rover Discovery SVX a high-performance off-roader begins with the fitment of a big engine. The engine in qu, ...ادامه مطلب

The Italian Formula One Grand Prix came and went this past weekend and a Brit in a German car won it. That is probably because Ferrari drivers were off goofing around in an Alfa Romeo Giulia QV (Quadrifoglio).  We kid, of course. The trio, including Sebastian Vettel, Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi, were doing sister company Alfa Romeo a favor by taking the QV around the track for a frie, ...ادامه مطلب
