Opinion: here’s why you’re so mad at the Audi Nuvolari
For a grey, featureless slab – and I mean that with great affection – the reveal of the Audi Nuvolari didn’t half generate some strong opinions. Some of these opinions concerned the Nuvolari’s vital statistics and price positioning, particularly regarding Audi’s decision to charge £500k for what could uncharitably be described as ‘a Lamborghini Temerario…

The Ford Escort is back: this Mk1 RS is a £354k lightweight that revs to 10,000rpm
The Ford Escort is back. With one or two changes. Including a better power to weight ratio than a Porsche 911 GT3, a more power dense engine than an Aston Martin Valkyrie and dampers from the same firm that supplies them for the GMA T.50. Safe to say this isn’t a blue collar hero anymore.…
