It’s the business of carrying people around and when it comes to this business, please pardon the pun, Renault means business. What they’ve done at the Milan design week was genius. Renault cars were available … More Flabbergasted News → Renault @Milan Design Week
The new Land Rover Discovery is basically a cruise ship. It is properly, truly, fantastically enormous. They call it “mid-size”, and technically that’s appropriate since it is slightly smaller than the “daddy”, the -classic- RR but still, for some reason, this felt a lot bulkier and taller than any other Range Rover I’ve driven. Dream … More Flabbergasted Drive → LR Discovery: 1st Impression
Norway is a place from outer space. This northern, electric, incredibly expensive Scandinavian country breeds images of peace and tranquility. When most people think of Norway the first frames in their mind will include salmon, snow, possibly vikings and, may I add? One slight contradiction. Norway is perceived to be one of the greenest countries on … More Live from: Porsche Center Son (NO)
On March 12 1947, in the afternoon, the man himself, Enzo Ferrari fired up the 1500cc 12-cylinder engine in the 125S and went for a test drive. The second he left the factory in Maranello, he probably had no idea. History was being made, the legend began. text & photo credit: Ale Renesis Ferrari … More Flabbergasted→ Happy Birthday, Ferrari!
In the unlikely event of your ever needing to know the average number of gear shifts for each lap, for each driver, during the Monaco GP is around 60. That’s more than 4,600 for the entire race. To any reasonable soul, this may sound like pointless trivia, it’s chit-chat, prattle, tittle-tattle. Cheap conversation you may … More SIAM 2017 Monaco
There are two sides to any story. On the one hand, I’m not a big fan of crossover SUVs in general because compromise seldom works. When you buy a crossover you’re essentially buying an overpriced and overweight hatchback, not a lightweight SUV. On the other hand, however, there’s no escaping the fact that crossover vehicles work, … More Flabbergasted News → Audi Q5 M.Y. 2017
Overfinch was founded in Leeds in 1975 and you may have heard of them, or seen one of their cars by chance, except you didn’t know and thought they were just Range Rovers. What they do is quite simple, they take Land Rover vehicles, like the Defender, the Evoque, or the “classic” Range Rover, and … More Flabbergasted London → Overfinch

Hello and welcome to to wilderness… in Tuscany. When Land Rover introduced the LRX Concept at the Detroit Motor Show in 2008, the press and the spectators alike were curious and positive about it, but kind of dubious too. “Yes, beautiful. But the final version won’t look anything like the concept car”. Well, the result … More Flabbergasted Drive → RR Evoque Convertible: It’s Here. And it’s Fantastic.
Distracted by the F1 fracas, Hamilton vs Rosberg vs Hamilton; and the (soccer/football) European Tournament in France, the news in the automotive world nearly slipped unnoticed. You weren’t paying attention, were you? It’s alright. Nobody was. The shows, like Paris and Geneva, are over and won’t be back for a few months, and so are the supercars … More News → Up the Ante.
