“It’s an 819bhp GR86…” Ferrari 12C rewrites the super-GT rulebook

The annual request from the editors: give us your ‘favourite’ car of the past 12 months. I dislike this task because choosing a favourite is too black-and-white an approach when the list includes everything from the madness of an S1 Elise with 300bhp to a purple Rolls Wraith, skulking through Clerkenwell at midnight, utterly in its film-noir element. A comparison framework just doesn’t exist. … Continue reading “It’s an 819bhp GR86…” Ferrari 12C rewrites the super-GT rulebook

I don’t understand Ferrari’s current design language and McLaren supercars still have a whiff of IT department about them. Aston, meanwhile, just seems to be consistently knocking it out of the park. The latest… Continue reading Aston calls it the Vanquish Volante, I call it… Utterly divine

JBL Bar 500MK2 Review: A Fantastic Soundbar System

The subwoofer is no joke, at about 13 x 16 inches and 18 pounds, but it’s not something you’ll need to move once you get it set up, and it contributes massively (pun intended) to the depth and breadth of the Bar 500MK2’s sound. With a 10-inch driver, it’s more than enough to get to… Continue reading JBL Bar 500MK2 Review: A Fantastic Soundbar System
