Nissan LEAF aiming for reversing speed record at Goodwood Festival of Speed

Nissan are going to take the LEAF EV backwards up the Goodwood hillclimb this weekend, aiming for a new Guinness World Record.

'Where They Raced' is SoCal racing history on DVD

Harold Osmer was looking for a master's thesis.

Ssangyong LIV-1 SUV: Seoul Motor Show

Ssangyong has rolled out yet another SUV Concept at its home motor show in Seoul – the Ssangyong LIV-1 SUV. The Ssangyong LIV-1 SUV is another new SUV concept from Ssangyong (we’ve had the SsangYong SIV-1 at Geneva and the e-XIV EV Concept at Paris in the last six months) with a  catchy little moniker, this one a ‘Limitless Interface Vehicle, which sets the bar quite high. The LIV-1 does have a better looking nose than any of Ssangyong’s current crop of production cars (well, certainly than the Rexton and Rodius) although it does look like the designers were competing to see how many creases they could add to the bodywork of the LIV-1.
