Even though James Bond is always associated with Aston Martins, MI6’s finest agent has been driving all kinds of cars including BMWs, Lotuses, a Ford Mustang, and even a Toyota. But what if agent Bond followed Wakanda’s loving king in getting a Lexus? This design is one of the entries challenged by UK’s Autocar on the postgraduate students of Coventry University’s renowned automotive and transport design course.

Honda donated the NA1 Honda NSX to the Tochigi Prefectural Police force in 1992, while the R35 Nissan GT-R was donated to th

If you like big posh cats, then the news from around the world isn’t very encouraging. Sales of the BMW 8 Series is reportedly stalling in the United States, with reports from Europe claiming that BMW will dis

In the spirit of Kaizen, or continous improvement, Lexus has just given its flagship LC Coupe an update. Changes are relatively minor and the exterior is largely untouched. One of the changes highlighted is the reduced unsprung weight by around 10 kg. This is achieved through the use of aluminium lower arms, light anti-roll bars, and new material for the coil springs. The 21-inch forged alloy wheels are also lighter than before. On top of making the suspension parts lighter, it has also been cal

Another week, another new BMW M car. BMW M GmbH has unveiled the all-new BMW M8 and BMW M8 competition. Both of which comes in coupe or convertible form. Power is served by the flagship 4.4-litre twin turbo V8 producing 600 PS and 750 Nm mated to an 8-speed M Steptronic transmission, and the engine’s power is channelled to all four wheels. The Competition model bumps the power up by 25 PS, making a total of 625 PS. 0-100km/h is completed in 3.3 seconds for the Coupe and 3.4 seconds for the Conve
