Spyker Still Hasn’t Bought Even One Engine From Koenigsegg

A match made in heaven that never actually happened. During the last year’s Geneva Motor Show in March 2017, Spyker raised from the ashes to reveal the new C8 Preliator Spyder. It was a striking open-top supercar with a 5.0-liter naturally-aspirated V8 sourced from Koenigsegg delivering 600 horsepower (447 kilowatts) and 443 pound-feet (600 Newton… Continue reading Spyker Still Hasn’t Bought Even One Engine From Koenigsegg

How efficient is an electric car?

Celeste Vervoort — Copywriter

There is no doubt that in the coming decades there will be many more electric cars and other electric vehicles entering the streets around the globe. Leading this trend is Europe, one of the continents where we already see an accelerating growth in the purchase of electric cars. This blog will shed a light on an important yet seldom asked question: How efficient are these cars, and why does that matter?

The Paris Climate Agreement is driving governments worldwide to finally define their approach to reducing CO2 emissions. It’s clear: If we are to make the agreement’s goals we need to step up our electric car game. However, more electric cars in itself will not necessarily solve our emission problems.

One of the obstacles that has repeatedly been pointed out by the automotive industry is how there are far too few charging points to supply all future electric cars. Moreover, charging these cars requires much more electricity than we currently ..

Griffith caught smoking at Beaulieu

No smoke without fire? – Well there was at Beaulieu where the prototype Griffith laid down the rubber, without any fire or flame..

It was all hell and fury at the Beaulieu Supercar weekend where the new Griffith laid down the law, well rubber at least, as it got to air its lungs on both days.

The weekend saw some 800+ high performance sports and supercars gather for both static club displays and also the hugely popular demonstration runs by a selected few. These comprised a short blast from standstill, followed by a stop at the crossroads on the picturesque tree-lined Chestnut Avenue, not a track! (as drivers were repeatedly reminded during pre-run briefings) and then another short blast plus return. Only a few hundred metres each way but a very popular spectacle for the crowds.

Les 'Leadfoot' Edgar gave it the beans on Saturday and our very own Matthew 'Stig' Truelove had the pleasure on Sunday. Both ably demonstrating the fun that a driver-focussed, manual, devoid of electronic trickery, supercar can provide. Some short video clips from the weekend can be viewed by clicking the links below and more lively on-track professionally produced action from another circuit location will follow soon.
