Lack of big power is one of the characteristics of the Mazda MX-5 sports car. It’s deliberate, so as to make you work the engine and gearbox and find the intrinsic joy there is in that. But some people prefer more get up and go and for them British tuner BBR has a new turbo upgrade package that breathes more life into the MX-5’s tiny little heart.

As the 2016 SEMA show opens its doors to visitors at Las Vegas convention center Mazda reveals the two MX5 concepts they promised will knock our socks off.

So while their American branch, Acura, has to be content with limited exposure at this year’s SEMA show, Honda themselves are going to have a ball at the event. The highlight of their lineup is the Honda Civic Type R which will make its North American debut in “prototype” form at a “Civicpalooza.” We have already seen the new Honda Civic Type R at the Paris Motor Show last month, but SEMA will be the first opportunity the Americans have to check out the looks of the 10th generation Civic.

Following the aouncement about the cost of the new hard-top Mazda MX-5 RF the Japanese company has now revealed how much the British customers of this car will have to pay for it. If we cut to the chase, it starts from £22,195 and goes up to £28,995 depending on the engine and trim level. The Brits are a roadster loving nation in spite of their often terrible weather, so one caot see a big market for an awkward looking version of the world’s most popular open-top sports car in Blighty. Still, if what you want is the driving feel of the MX-5 with the security and protection of a solid roof above your head, then Mazda MX-5 RF is for you. You can have it with two engines in the UK, includi...

SaabKyle videos are usually long and super thorough in-depth tours and reviews of the cars he features. But every now and then he takes one these cars that has a particularly nice soundtrack out for a quick spin. The car in question this time is a 2016 Jaguar XJR, and although the focus here is on the exhaust note you also get a good look at the car itself and get a sense of how it drives. Jaguar XJR is a luxury saloon afflicted with obscurity, even though it is a fantastic piece of engineering. Some may it’s because it looks kind of weird, but if you can live with that design the car is an excellent choice over the Merc and Audis of this segment. [embedded content] Jaguar XJR Technical...
