Aston Martin Rapide – Official Valencia video

We have official video of the Aston Martin Rapide from Valencia Back at the start of February Aston Martin flew the world’s media to Valencia to party with the new Aston Martin Rapide. Even though Cars UK didn’t get an invite we decided to shove up a review of the Rapide covering what we knew from all the bumph Aston Martin had sent us and the opinions we’d formed from seeing the car. It wasn’t sour grapes – although it would have been nice to be asked – but looking at the reviews written by those who went on the ‘Jolly’ we were pretty much on the money.

Concept Car of the Week: Oldsmobile Aerotech (1987)

In late 1984, Oldsmobile management had so much confidence in the potential of its new inline four-cylinder engine Quad 4, that a small team was assigned to the creation of the Aerotech, a research vehicle designed to demonstrate the engine's performance by setting a new world speed record. Ed Welburn, then assistant chief designer, was mostly working on the 1988 Cutlass Supreme but his passion for race cars made him the ideal candidate to be handed the assignment by Oldsmobile 2 studio's chief David North. Inspired by Le Mans racers such as the Porsche 917LH and Jim Hall's Chaparrals, he designed a long, flowing car that immediately seduced design director Chuck Jordan and GM management.

New Toyota Aygo looks appealing: Geneva Motor Show

The new Toyota Aygo (pictured) looks an appealing City Car The final part of the PSA/Toyota City Car trilogy has been revealed in Geneva with the arrival of the new Toyota Aygo – and it looks the most convincing of the three. Toyota seem to have hit exactly the right note with the new Aygo’s look, which looks fun, funky and appealing with plenty of options to customise the already appealing looks. The dramatic X-Theme going on at the front sets the Aygo apart from the C1 and 108 and the pagoda-style profile, rear spoiler and window graphic that extends in to the rear light clusters make the Aygo look bigger and bolder than it is.
