Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition – costs £200,000

The Aston Martin Vanquish Carbon Edition in Carbon White It’s only a month since the 2015 Aston Martin Vanquish (and Vanquish Volante) were revealed with a series of updates that manage to turn the Vanquish in to a much more appealing car. That new appeal is mainly down to AML finally ditching their ancient six-speed auto ‘box and replacing it with a new 8-Speed ZF ‘box – which cleverly sits inside the old housing – increasing performance, drivability and economy in one fell swoop. The Vanquish now gets to 62mph in a very respectable 3.8 seconds and can top 200mph, despite which official economy improves to 31mpg (more like 16mpg in the real world).

2014 Mercedes C Class tease begins (video)

Mercedes begin the tease for the new C Class With the new Mercedes A Class and derivatives – particularly the new CLA – pushing in to the part fo the market held by the C-Class, it’s time for a new C Class. And that looks like it’s happening at bthe Detroit Auto Show in January. Ahead of that debut, it seems Mercedes are teasing the arrival of the 2014 C Class with the video below (they don’t say as much, but it has to be), a new C Class that looks set to grow in size and push upmarket.

TVR showing signs of life, maybe

It seems that old British automakers never die. But they don't really seem to fade away entirely, either, drifting in and out of solvency and suffering the indignity of dead-end revival attempt after dead-end revival attempt. Witness poor MG, which the Chinese are attempting to badge-engineer back into existence.
