Rowan Atkinson prangs the McLaren – again

Rowan Atkinson in his McLaren F1 We don’t usually do accidents and supercars on Cars UK. To us, it seems horribly ghoulish and somehow perverse to seek enjoyment, not just from the misery of others, but from the destruction of beautiful cars. But this is Rowan Atkinson and his beloved McLaren F1.

Fisker gets funding for Karma & NINA

The Fisker Karma - should move to market quickly with new funding But late yesterday the DOE in the US approved loans to Fisker of $528 million (around £323 million). That should help. The loan is aiming to secure production of a plug-in hybrid in the US, which probably means the lower cost car Fisker has been talking about for some time.

Lexus CT 200h: The emissions

Teh Lexus CT 200h has emissions of just 96g/km We have to go with the flow on this because, although we have no faith in the assertion that man is responsible for climate change, for as long as Governments penalise and promote cars based on the emissions of CO2 from their tailpipe (I know, it’s barking) we have to accept that car makers will respond to that stick and carrot. Which is why we see a raft of car makers churning out ‘Eco’ cars with a 99g/km emissions figure, as sub-100g/km of CO2 emissions is the Holy Grail for maximising tax effiecencies. Of course, Lexus has gone a step further and seem intent on producing only hybrid cars as soon as possible.
