Lotus Evora hits London showroom

Despite the fact that the new Lotus Evora is not due to start delivery until next Summer, Lotus of London, in Park Lane, has this week taken delivery of the first Evora to hit a showroom anywhere in the world, and it will be on show from the 22nd December. The Evora is going to be on display until the 9th January, offering potential buyers, and the terminally nosey, the opportunity to see this exciting new Lotus in the flesh. Finished in Frost White (trendy, but I’m not sure it suits the Evora that well), with a red leather interior, the 2+2 is the first proper new Lotus car for more than a decade.

Scottish Car of the Year 2011: Big night for Jaguar Land Rover

Scottish Car of the Year 2011 Last night saw the awards dinner for the Scottish car of the Year at the Thistle in Glasgow, with Land Rover taking top honours and Jaguar walking away with three gongs (well, two gongs and the motoring equivalent of a ‘Lifetime Achievement’ trophy). The unstoppable Range Rover Evoque took the big prize, being voted the Scottish Car of the Year. Of course, it also won SUV of the year (it would have been a bit odd if it didn’t) and at this rate – and the great feedback from customers and media – Land Rover look like they’ll be mopping up a lot of gongs this next year.

The Nissan GT-R – one of the most iconic sports car models of all time – was unveiled in its latest go-even-faster Nismo incarnation in Tokyo on Tuesday 19th November 2013. MSN went to soak up the atmosphere at Nissan’s HQ in Yokohama on the outskirts of Tokyo and speak to the management. “Developing the GT-R is an act of passion and a driver of innovation”, so declared Nissan’s overall boss Carlos Ghosn (bottom left) after he was driven on stage by record-breaking driver Michael Krumm at the exclusive reveal of its GT-R supercar in Yokohama.
