McLaren P1 lands on SLS Hotel at Beverly Hills

We first laid eyes on the stunning McLaren P1 at the Paris auto show in September. The intriguing cross between the alien from Alien and an MP4-12C promised to break new ground for a production supercar. Soon after, we caught it testing on public roads in Spain wearing black-and-white camouflage.

Range Rover Evoque 5 Door: The Video

The Range Rover Evoque 5 Door Video Although it’s good to see Land Rover being proactive with releasing information in response to web activity (the single image of the 5 door Evoque they released after it got papped at Paris, for example) we wonder if they’re in danger of having no dry powder left for the offical reveal of the 5 door Evoque at the LA Motor Show next month. Yesterday we had a decent gallery of photos of the 5 door Evoque and a press release to go with it. True, the press release didn’t tell us a lot more than we already knew, but it did give us information about the extra room in the 5 door and the MagneRide suspension.

Peter Stevens and Julian Thomson lead a discussion on the past, present and future of car design

As part of its sponsorship of London's Clerkenwell Design Week, Jaguar and the Royal College of Art brought together three generations of the design school to discuss the past, present and possible future of car design. Held in a suitably grimy warehouse in east London – with the sculpture by RCA students Ewan Gallimore and Claire Mille's we showed you earlier this week sat outside – Professor Dale Harrow, dean of the School of Design and head of its Vehicle Design program introduced Professor Peter Stevens, Julian Thomson, Jaguar's advanced design director and Alexandra Palmowski project designer advanced colour and material at Jaguar took the audience through their careers. Charismatic as ever, Peter Stevens kicked off proceedings that moved chronologically through the decades by explaining how he first became interested in "the art if car design, allied to the science of how they work" through his artistic parents and uncle – journalist and motoring adventurer – Denis Jenkinson during the 1950s and 60s.
