fisker karma

hi guys
this is the new Fisker karma. and unlike most car company's this was started by a designer rather than a engineer unlike most other car company's and it certainly shows this simply looks amazing

this guy even designed the Aston martin db9 and the v8 vantage and even the BMW z4 and now the Fisker karma so i suppose no wonder this car looks so awesome

As you know if you have read some of my other post i hate hybrid and electric cars i know they are the way forward and everything but they are just not my cup of tea but his one has pulled it off as it is a proper sports car.

The problems with normal electric and hybrid cars is that they are ugly, slow and they can take half a day to charge but this is different as it isn't ugly isn't slow and as it has a generator which can power the electric motor when you get low on fuel so this is the real way forwards.

this car will do 0-60 in 6.3secs which is reasonably fast and is limited to 125mph annoyingly because me and everyone else knows this can go a lot lot faster i just wish they would let it

But one of the best things about this car is it has 4 doors so family's can enjoy this together and that also means that they will probably sell more too and i hope they do

And the interior is awesome too. There is tons of leather and wood and pure luxury all over and in the back it has what looks like a side board very comfortable looking seats.

And the Fisker karma has already started winning awards it one top gear luxury car of the year and the automobile magazine's design of the year and i think it deserved both of them and a lot more in the future.

subaru BRZ

Hi guys
First drive: Subaru’s new BRZ coupe
first of all, let’s solve the mystery of the name. BRZ stands for Boxer, Rear-wheel drive, Zenith. That’s pretty clear isn’t it? Well, the first two parts are, and as for Zenith, that’s just Subaru’s way of saying this is the best it can do.


it’s a brand new car from scratch – a rare thing these days. The engine is mounted so low, Subaru believes it has a lower centre of gravity than a Ferrari 458. And a low engine is not only good for handling, but also means the driver can be sat low and can still see over the bonet so this is a proper sports car designed for tuning it is awesomely cool and it only has 200hp annoyingly because i know it could have more they just don't want ti to be better than the impreza but at least it is very light so it can deal without that much horsepower

this car is great as a first car for 19 year olds it is simple east to tune and won't be that expensive with prices ranging from £26,000- £28,000 and if you can get a second hand one it will be even cheaper and this will sell well i reckon as it is a rare breed of car so it should sell well and create a lot of second hand models which i think is good because it looks quite good so we should see some good looking cars on the road for once!

this cars main rival will probably be the Mazda Rx-8 or the audi tt but i would have this instead any day of the week

Bentley continental super sports

hi guys
this car has been out for a while but as this is one of my favorite cars i thought i should do a review

Fastest and sexiest Aston Martin ever  - News imageBentley aren't usually my cup of tea but this car is it is so so so cool luxury power speed and quality so for me this is excellent though it is hard to prove why it is a bit ugly it weighs as much as a house it is as big as a house it costs too much at £163,000 it doesn't act like a Bentley but this type of car is rare you never see a car which is quick luxurious and not hideous or boring to look at for me it is just perfect it seems but i wouldn't buy one even if i could, maybe if i was a millionaire but if i had that money to spend on a car i would buy an Aston martin dbs it is cheaper quicker a lot better looking and though it doesn't have as much horse power but it doesn't need as much horsepower and later this year when the carbon edition comes out it will of sealed it for me but these car are both great and if i had the money i would but both power luxuary speed design they are both great cars but when the dbs carbon edition comes out i would only have that it is a league of it's own it is just awesome and when there is more information on it i will post on it

ssc tuatara

hi guys 
this is another hopeful record breaking car which believe it or not is made by the same company as the one which knocked the veyron off the throne first time. As they are just so different.

ssc are back with another car thee first one i didn't really like it was just a car which was fast it didn't have anything special about it but this one does it is just so cool it looks like a plane and i reckon it could maybe fly given some wings and a jet engine but obviously, it would crash as it is american!

but just look at that back it looks like it is hovering it is just from the future and so is it's speed this is capable of 275mph but the only question is can it do 275. this has 1350 hp which makes this 16 times more powerful than an averae fanily hathback despite weighing the same and it has 100 hp more than the super sport to go 8mph quicker than the Bugatti veyron super sports but if i had a choice super sports or tuatara i would have to choose this it is the future to car design it is totally awesome and has shot ssc right up my favorite company for designs list and is probably third after Aston martin and alfa romeo.

unfortunately ssc are only going to make 12 but they will only cost £500,000 when it comes on sale later this year which surprises me for what you get as it is £1.1 million cheaper than the veyron super sports. So you would have to be the luckiest person in the world to own one of these

new formula 1 cars 2012





hi guys
as we are getting ever nearer to the 2012 formula1
season more and more teams are releasing there cars with Ferrari Mclaren Caterham and Force India all releasing there cars earlier this week

I will start with Caterham as they launched their car first
sorry about the picture not being very good as they launched their car in the f1 racing magazine and there are pretty much no other pictures on it at all

as you might know that ugly cars aren't usually very good and i think you will agree with me that this is ugly it has like a step in the front bonnet but as force India and ferrari have also done that i think we are going to have an ugly season

mclaren uveiled their challenger a few days back and i think it looks awesome it doesn't have that hideous step in it. It looks just perfect so i think it will be a good contender for 2012




Ferrari usually produce beatiful formula 1 cars usually as this on joins the caterham it is hideous that front wing is just hideous it is horrible although being ugly it has some very clever features which only James may could understand!





force india haven't been the most successful team ever but this machine could be more successful

some of the other cars haven't changed a bit but this one has it is nothing like the same

now on to force India although this car does have that hideous step in it again it actually looks quite good or at least a lot better than the Caterham and the Ferrari so i think it could be a championship contender

renault have one alot of victories two championchips and a lot of experience and this car could make it three championships with raikonen and grosjean behind the wheel as shown in the testing at jerez as overall lotus were second behind last years mercedes

Also this car isn't that ugly despite having that hideous step but they haven't made it vey steep it is judt a small kink


williams are a vey succesful team they have one thousands of championships. Lots of big names like senna and mansell have driven for them but more recently they have lost there touch they just can't find there pace again but this year they have signed an engine deal with renault so they may well be alot quicker this year but i still don't think a championship contender sadly because i like williams as a team

this car like all the others has that hideous step it is just pure ugly


sauber have never been very succsesful scince they bought bmw but his one could be about to change things though they only managed a 9th place overall in jerez

once again this car has that hideous step and it is just asa ugly as all the others unlike some of the cars like the lotus

now onto red bull the chapionchip holders
if redbull want to hold onto their chapionship they are going to have to try harder than what they achieved at jerez where they managed only 5th

but this car must be the worst looking on the grid after the ferrari as that step is so steep it is horrible though that might be a good thing as it might mean that red bull will be knocked of their throne finally but i reckon they will still threaten the front runners if they don't win

Mercedes W03 spy shot
mercedes haven't officially released their car but i managed to find a spy photo of it at silverstone

As ross brawn is usually very keen to get testing underway in the new car i think mercedes might be hiding something special.

mercedes look like they have spent their budget on a car photocopier it loooks almost exactly the same apart from that hideous nose

onto virgin which is now called marussia

this would have to be the second best looking car after the mclaren as it doesn't have that hideous nose it just looks so much better and this year it could maybe become one of the mid-fielders but sadly i don't think it will

driving their new car will be Charles pic and Timo glock. timo will in the red top car and pic in the yellow topped.


HRT have been in the sport for just under three years now as they didn't get started till the Spanish GP and haven't scored a point since but this car might be able to but i highly doubt it. although with de la rosa and Narain Karthikayan behind the wheel it could make it more likely

but good luck anyway to them because it would create a lot of midfield action

Audi r8 gt

hi guys
yet another awesome car, this is the Audi r8 gt i know you probably think this car is going to be crazy because they have improved a car which is already crazy.

this car is going to be sold at around £144,000 which is quite expensive but for another £35,910 you get new wheels, a spoiler, more power and a lighter car. this car will produce 552bhp which is 34 more than the r8 v10 also this will do 0-60 in 3.6 secs and will carry on to 199mph so this car isn't slow it is very very fast and looks so cool alot better than the normal r8 v10

The Porsche 911 gt3 rs, this cars main rival, is £40,000 less and is meant to be more exciting but i would always have a Audi r8 gt over a Porsche. there engines are always blowing up my uncle had 3 and all of there engines blew up catastrophically

the v10 sounds even better in this than the standard one and i thought the standard ones noise was awesome so this must sound incredible
