I saved £25k by buying a German Lotus instead of a British one

As a twenty-something back in 1990, Simon Bailey dreamed of owning a Lotus Carlton, Vauxhall’s 176mph supersaloon that raised questions in the Commons and rattled the likes of BMW and Mercedes. A quarter of a century later, he has realised his ambition, although the car on his driveway is not a Vauxhall but its Opel… Continue reading I saved £25k by buying a German Lotus instead of a British one

I drove Skoda’s fastest ever Fabia – the warm-ish hatch is back!

The weight of a new Fabia vRS is potentially resting on this car’s shoulders. Should demand for the Fabia 130 be sufficient, the powers that be in Mladá Boleslav might decide to go whole hog.  Does it do a good enough job to warrant a full-fat version? Yes. Would a future Fabia vRS make it… Continue reading I drove Skoda’s fastest ever Fabia – the warm-ish hatch is back!

Forza or Gran Turismo? Our writers’ favourite video games

If you were born in the past half-century and read Autocar, chances are that your obsession with all things automotive was at some point fuelled by video games. Be it a hyper-realistic simulator, the childlike innocence of Mario Kart or the ultra-violent Grand Theft Auto series, the medium has presented many different takes on the driving… Continue reading Forza or Gran Turismo?

German FAZ: “I am passionate about the topic of ‘made in Germany’”010383

In her first two months at Opel, she rarely saw her desk, says Maike Seeber. After starting as plant manager in September, she spent almost every day in a different department.

We’ve heralded the 1911 Vauxhall Prince Henry as one of the most influential cars of the 20th century, being perhaps the first proper production sports car. But what was the inspiration behind it? And who was Prince Henry? His name was actually Heinrich, and he was Prince of Prussia (the dominant state within the German… Continue reading How a German Prince created a Vauxhall legend

German FAZ: Children, how time flies010382

Christmas brings back memories of youth. In the rearview mirror, everything always seems a little easier, a little less complicated. The model train ran under the Christmas tree, the turtleneck sweater scratched, and Mother rattled the cookware in the kitchen. The roast was sizzling, the red cabbage was on the stove. If you close your… Continue reading German FAZ: Children, how time flies010382

I drove 50 cars in 2025 – the DS No8 was my favourite. Yes, really…

It won’t be for everyone. Indeed, if it doesn’t fare significantly better than its dismally performing predecessor, the DS 9, I might never see another one on the road. But that would be a great shame. Because while the oddly named DS No8 is hardly the most adventurously conceived of cars, it is wilfully individualistic… Continue reading I drove 50 cars in 2025 – the DS No8 was my favourite.
