We used to see Lorinser logo only on the most exclusive and luxurious Mercedes Benz, but their latest creation for 2010 Essen Motor Show has nothing to do with their usual line of cool cars. It’s based on a smart fortwo and called the Easybrid, which must be a mix of easy and hybrid, and [...]

We’ve just been telling you that since all new cars get 5-star rating, there’s no point in reporting their crash test results. But then we opened another EuroNCAP document just to see the 2010 Jaguar XF has got only 4 stars! It’s rather surprising and disappointing to be honest, becasue it means this high-tech Jag [...]

Here’s some footage Jeff Zwart and his Porsche 911 GT3 mastering the Pikes Peak before this year’s event. We’ve all seen the 911 in different sorts of track racing, but seeing it playing in dirt is new! Of course if you are like 70 – 80 years old you may remember it in its early [...]
