“A lot of horsepowers”
Harry Metcalfe from Evo is the latest person to blame for yet more Porsche 918 Spyder content. Here he chews the fat with Walter Röhrl, who was also kind enough to take Harry for a drive. We quite liked Walter’s description of having “a lot of horsepowers to drive with this car.” It’s an interesting […]

If you could sum up the 2010 Geneva Motor Show in one word it would be “hybrid”. No longer the realm of cardigan-wearing Toyotas, the cool kids all got electricity sets for Christmas and have been waiting for the first opportunity to show what they can do. Porsche, Ferrari and Audi are just some of […]

McLaren continues P1 Nürburgring tease
McLaren has released a teaser video informing us the P1 has broken the 7-minute barrier around the Nordschleife. But they still haven’t put their neck on the line by declaring an exact time. The video itself is very well produced and should we ever get a full lap it looks like it will be one […]
Remember last month when we reported a rumour the McLaren P1 had lapped the Nürburgring in 6 minutes 47 seconds? Well, it’s true. We promise.

A new spy video (see below) alleges the P1 has lapped the Nürburgring in 6 minutes 47 seconds. We’re not taking that […]
