Building an expensive luxury- or supercar is not a cheap and easy process. The customers expect the very best of everything; the car has to be fast, reliable, look good, and so on, which is exactly why expensive cars feature some of the most incredible features, unobtainium materials, and bespoke parts. So that’s the reason… Continue reading 25 Pricey Cars Put Together With Really Cheap Parts – HotCars

Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus promotes upcoming supercar with fully 3D printed model – 3DPMN
400 Shares While 2D renderings can help to communicate a product concept well enough, there is something to be said about seeing a concept as a physical, three-dimensional object. This marketing reality has not been lost on manufacturers and designers, who are increasingly turning to additive manufacturing to tactilely visualize design and product concepts. Scuderia… Continue reading Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus promotes upcoming supercar with fully 3D printed model – 3DPMN
Zenvo TS1 GT Review (2019) – Autocar
Looking at the Zenvo’s mechanicals It either looks like it’s been lifted straight out of an arcade game or as though Lockheed Martin has had its first crack at a performance car. I can’t decide which. Either way, it’s quite the thing to behold, with its gaping intakes and impossibly low glasshouse, but it’s also cohesive and… Continue reading Zenvo TS1 GT Review (2019) – Autocar
Zenvo TSR-S 2019 review – Autocar
What’s it like? Hugely fast, but also confusing. Due to some transmission problems with the finished TSR-S, our driving impressions came from two cars. First was a yellow prototype with a massive rollcage and a dashboard made from bare metal studded with rocker switches, and then the finished blue road-spec car after it had been judged… Continue reading Zenvo TSR-S 2019 review – Autocar

Gordon Murray awarded CBE in Queen’s New Year Honours
Legendary automotive designer and engineer, Gordon Murray, made Commander of the British Empire for ‘services to Motoring’
Gordon Murray crowns 50 years of automotive design with royal recognition
Career highlights include 20 years in Formula One; designing the McLaren F1; and introducing the revolutionary iStream vehicle manufacturing process
Automotive designer and engineer, Professor Gordon Murray has been awarded a CBE (Commander of the British Empire) in the Queen’s New Year Honours 2019. The accolade is in recognition of his ‘services to Motoring’ after a lifetime of devising and delivering creative and ground-breaking projects in the motorsport and automotive sectors.
Gordon Murray said: “It is extremely humbling to receive a CBE in the Queen’s New Year Honours. I’ve spent more than 50 years doing what I love, working with a wealth of highly-talented and creative people around the world, but primarily in the UK. From the competing during the heyday of Formula One, to designing the world’s fastest supercar, I’ve loved every minute. I’d like to dedicate this honour to all those I’ve worked with over the years and I look forward to an exciting new future for the Gordon Murray Group.”
Having designed his first car in 1967, Murray moved to the UK to join the Brabham Formula One Team as Technical Director winning two world championships (1981 and 1983), and then moved to McLaren International as Technical Director in 1988 where the team won three consecutive championships – 1988, 1989 and 1990.
Having accrued 50 Grand Prix wins in Formula One, he went on to establish a new company – McLaren Cars Limited. The Company’s first project was the renowned McLaren F1 Road Car. A racing version won two world sports car championships and the Le Mans 24-hour race in 1995. Murray guided several other successful projects at McLaren Cars, culminating with the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren programme.
In 2005 Murray formed a new British company for the design, engineering, prototyping and development of vehicles – Gordon Murray Design Limited. The Surrey-based company has a global reputation as one of the finest automotive design teams in the world and is responsible for an innovative and disruptive manufacturing technology: iStream®.
