Ferrari 599 GTB Fiorano

The Ferrari 599 (internal code F141) is an Italian sports car produced by Ferrari. It was the brand's two-seat flagship, replacing the 575M Maranello in 2006 as a 2007 model, but was replaced for the 2013 model year by the F12berlinetta. Styled by Pininfarina under the direction of Ferrari's Frank Stephenson, the 599 GTB debuted at the Geneva Motor Show in February 2006. It is named for its total engine displacement (5999 cc), Gran Turismo Berlinetta nature, and the Fiorano Circuit test track used by Ferrari.

Lamborghini Huracan

Lamborghini's new Huracán that replaces the successful Gallardo, is a new-age, hi-tech approach to Lambo's four-wheel-drive V10 supercar formula. Immediately, it's much more attractive to look at in the flesh. That ground-hugging stance, the rakish nose and that slatted matte black engine cover make it look otherworldly. Getting into the impossibly low-slung Huracán is an event in itself. You step in with your left leg and lower yourself...

Maruti Ciaz

What is it? Maruti has unveiled the production version of the Ciaz, which will go on sale by mid-October. Bigger, sleeker and far better equipped than the SX4 it has replaced, the Maruti Ciaz is a big step forward and puts Maruti back in the mid-size segment game. Built on an all-new platform, the Ciaz has been conceived from a clean sheet of paper to take on the likes of the Honda City and Hyundai Verna. Maruti is also pinning its...

Toyota Aygo 2014

The Toyota Aygo – in retail form, and in the UK. It’s been all pre-production drives abroad before this, and while there’ll be a full road test examination in short order, this initial car – one of the few in the country – earns another first look. Much about it we have learnt before. This is a marginally bigger follow-up to Toyota’s popular city dweller which has been on sale since before Twitter was born. It...

European president, Didier Leroy said he recognised fuel cell technology will take time to be adopted. “To help that happen we will bring a reasonable...

BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe

The BMW 4 Series Gran Coupe attempts to downsize the recipe of the four-door coupe concept, which was pioneered by the Mercedes CLS. Like its big brother, the BMW 6 Series Gran Coupe, it combines rakish coupe-like looks with four doors and a big boot to create a stylish family car. Based on the fine 4 Series Coupe but offering a bigger boot and easier passenger transport, it’s a worthy rival to the ageing but successful Audi...

Falcon GT F 351

The muscular cular ‘351’ GT F is a nostalgic tribute to a long line of Ford street fighters. A big part of its appeal is the fact that it makes 351kW. But it doesn’t. Most of the time, except in first gear, or when the ambient temperature is high, the GT F pumps out 404kW. What? A car that produces more than the people selling the car say it will? What madness is this? It makes 404kW due to something called transient overboost,...
