50 years of Range Rover: Mk1 prototype meets latest generation - Autocar

Jaguar Land Rover’s new advanced product creation centre in Gaydon employs about 13,000 engineers and designers. But back in 1966 it was just three souls – working out of hours, no less – that drew up the initial design of what would become an all-new model for the Rover Company. Then three engineers took the vehicle to production-ready status in only two years. It was a remarkable achievement. In turn, the project was variously known as ‘Alternative Station Wagon’, ‘100-inch Station Wagon’ and…

Highland Rover: Celebrating Hogmanay in a Land Rover Defender - Aut...

This whole Christmas caper really is still a novelty north of the border. It is, after all, only 49 years since it became a public holiday in Scotland. For centuries after the Reformation of 1560 cast Catholicism aside, the marking of Yule was frowned upon at best and illegal at worst as the austere Church of Scotland sought to stamp out ‘popish superstition’, ‘filthy carols’ and ‘extraordinary drinking’. It’s no small irony, then, that the Kirk turned a blind eye to Hogmanay, with its pagan tr…

Niels van Roij Design unveils tribute to Ferrari 'Breadvan' - Autocar

Dutch design house Niels van Roij Design has unveiled a one-off reimagining of the legendary Ferrari 250 GT SWB ‘Breadvan’ racer. Called the ‘Breadvan Hommage’, it is based on a Ferrari 550 Maranello and was two and a half years in the making. The original 1962 3.0-litre V12 Breadvan was commissioned by Scuderia Serenissima to take on the then new Ferrari 250 GTOs at Le Mans. The development of both cars was overseen by engineer Giotto Bizzarrini, who left Ferrari shortly before starting work o…

Let it blow: A Bentley-themed winter road trip - Autocar

Within the likes of a Bentley, nature’s proceeds of timber, wool, hide and more are crafted from raw material into sophisticated and elegant yet functional finishes. They come together to create a cabin of atmosphere and comfort where synthetic materials might otherwise leave you cold. Yet the origins of these finishes are easily taken for granted. So we’re going on a road trip to discover the what, where, how and who of Bentley’s luxury interiors. We’ll visit four manufacturers that supply Ben…

McLaren P1 designer Frank Stephenson on modern car styling - Autocar

Ford, BMW, Mini. The top styling jobs at Maserati, Ferrari, Fiat, Lancia and Alfa Romeo, then leading McLaren’s design journey from a standing start to the dawn of an entirely new product cycle. Frank Stephenson has some CV. Unfettered by the birth of Frank Stephenson Design in 2018, the 62-year-old American’s current projects are intriguingly diverse, extending well beyond the automotive world. So we wanted to know what views this unique perspective would lend to the armchair designer topics…

Paris motor show 2012: Suzuki S-cross - Autocar

Suzuki boss Kenichi Ayukawa has lifted the lid on the new S-cross compact crossover at the first press conference of the 2012 Paris motor show. He said the production model could be expected late next year, and would offer “one of the largest luggage areas in its class,” combined with “four-wheel drive performance and [a] sporty format.” It is yet to be confirmed whether or not the ‘S-cross’ name will be used, however. The show car’s exterior design is said to be very close to production spec,…

Fiat 500 at 60: road trip around Scotland's North Coast 500 - Autocar

Corks are popping in Turin. Prosecco is being skilfully spilled down throats in celebration of the Fiat 500’s 60th birthday. And with good reason: the Nuova 500s that left the city’s Mirafiori plant on 4 July 1957 became the first of four million, and two million more have been shifted since the 500 badge was revived a decade ago. This article was originally published on 5 August 2017. We’re revisiting some of Autocar’s most popular features to provide engaging content in these challenging time…

Volvo XC90 D5 Momentum vs Range Rover TDV6 Vogue: new vs ... - Autocar

A local Volvo dealer sponsors lollipop ladies round my way. The brand values match up: safe, dependable and family friendly. But there’s much more to Volvo these days. By rights, said wander wardens should be wearing Donna Karan and holding high-definition displays on boron steel poles, because Volvo is now among the most stylish and tech-intensive car makers out there. It charges for the privilege, too. Volvo’s standard-bearer, the Volvo XC90, starts at £46,850 new. Which is almost exactly the…

Investigating the long-gone city-centre dealerships

We’re staring at the fire escape of a Mexican restaurant, wondering how the bulging hips of a 930-generation Porsche 911 Turbo could squeeze through it. It’s May 2022 and we’re on George Street, central Edinburgh’s smartest strip, but our minds are 40 years behind, when this site was the Glen Henderson Porsche showroom. Before being uprooted miles out of town, prestige car dealers like Glen Henderson were dotted all around the heart of the city, peacocking on grand streets and tucked away in h…

Flat six in the sticks: going off-grid in the Porsche 911 Dakar

“While some will enjoy the challenge and beauty of camping in winter, for others it may be a case of physical and mental endurance.” So reads the advice of Mountaineering Scotland, the arbiter of such things north of the border. Conversely, my own camping expertise starts and ends with watching Bravo Two Zero on VHS circa 1999. But at least photographer Max Edleston and I won’t be wanting for kit on our wander into the wilds, starting our journey as we do at the Decathlon outdoor store on the…
