Range Rover Vogue

Range Rover remains the king of the hill for luxury 4x4s. It’s officially called the Range Rover, but some customers refer to it simply as the ‘Vogue’. That’s the top-line trim – there are also SE and Autobiography variants – although this is but a minor ... Read >

Range Rover Sport

The fabulous Range Stormer concept of 2004 was brought to life a year later, when Land Rover launched the Range Rover Sport. Some expressed disappointment that it wasn’t as extreme as the concept, nor offered in three-door guise. But really, such a model ... Read >

Aston Martin V8/V12 Vantage

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage is all about looks and sound. It makes an incredible noise, whether in early 4.3-litre V8 form or the later and more powerful 4.7-litre V8. I’d argue it’s a modern, more upmarket interpretation of the classic TVR. It is often b... Read >

Porsche 911 Turbo

Porsche was extremely smart with the newest versions of its most famous trim line. The 997 Turbo came along at the time when buyers who had switched from a 911 to an Aston V8 Vantage may have been looking for their next car swap. Here was just the thi... Read >

Rolls-Royce Phantom

The Rolls-Royce Phantom is the ultimate saloon car. It's the automotive equivalent of a Sunseeker yacht. The only other rival it has is the Maybach, which may be on the level from a technological perspective, but in terms of presence and brand, it isn't r... Read >

Bentley Arnage and Azure

The famous Bentley Arnage really has stood the test of time well. So much so, the brand is continuing its traditional elegance with the new Mulsanne – a car clearly cut from the same cloth. Ignore the early BMW-engined Arnage models, though: it has to ... Read >

Bentley Arnage and Azure

The story has quickly become part of Toronto folklore and will likely be something that is talked about for decades. While he may have become somewhat of a celebrity figure, the consequences Joe Robb has had to face for throwing Eggo Waffles onto the Air... Read >

Ferrari F430 Coupe and Spider

The Ferrari F430 continues the theme established by the 360 - that of the ‘no excuses’ Ferrari that works in everyday conditions without physically or financially punishing the owner. The 430 is aluminium bodied, but fitted with the 4.3-litre V8 engin... Read >

Ferrari F430 Scuderia

If the F430 marked a step forward for Ferrari, the 430 Scuderia version is but a further refinement of that. They are amazing cars: race-bred, carpet free with exposed weld seams, but also equipped with a lightning-fast F1 gearbox and handling that is alm... Read >

Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano is one of the best ever GT super cars. It's fitted with a detuned version of the famed 6.0 litre V12 Enzo engine. This produces a staggering 620bhp: the 0 to 60 time of 3.7 seconds is about the fastest of any production car. ... Read >

Aston Martin DB9

Buyers like the Aston Martin DB9 because it's seen as a proper Aston. The Top Gear Cool Wall effect has helped, too. It's seen as a rival to the Bentley Continental GT and GTC, with a similar token rear seat arrangement (although there's less space here).... Read >

Ferrari 612 Scaglietti

The Ferrari 612 Scaglietti is one of my all-time favorites. The blend of performance with luxury enables it to do so much, so very well indeed. From the space inside, to the extra room in the back too, to the way it genuinely provides full four seat capac... Read >

Bentley Continental GT and GTC

The Bentley Continental GT is one of the most dependable supercars. It has huge performance from the W12 engine, yet superb components and build means it easily absorbs the high miles owners put on it. Seeing cars that have covered many miles is not uncom... Read >

Lamborghini Murcielago

Lamborghini Murcielago is the most fantastic, dramatic, extreme super car. If you want to make a statement, get a 200mph-plus Murcielago. Even Ferraris pale into the background alongside it – particularly if it’s one of the famous vivid yellow ones. It w... Read >

Ferrari California

Ferrari's modern entry-level car, if there is such a thing, is the California. This is an entirely new concept for the Italian manufacturer, and is the first front-engined V8 in the entire history of the company. A 2+2 with a metal retractable hard top, i... Read >
