Jaguar at Goodwood Festival of Speed. Will we see the Jaguar F-Type R?

Will Jaguar show off the Jaguar F-Type R (pictured) at Goodwood? With the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed arriving at the end of the week, car makers are revealing what they’ll be taking to the petrolhead party, and it looks like Jaguar are taking something new too. As well as a chunk of the quickest Jaguars in existence, there’s going to be a new Jaguar F-Type Roadster Design Study.

918 a match for Ferrari and McLaren in corners, says Porsche

Had you forgotten about the third contender in the hybrid supercar wars, given the furious competition betwen Ferrari and McLaren? Porsche’s hybrid 918 Spyder is that third competitor, which mates a 4.6-litre normally aspirated V8 to an 84bhp front-drive electric motor and a 127bhp EV motor helping drive the rear tyres. It costs £768,026, and though Porsche won’t quite admit as much, you can still buy one of the 918 being produced - unlike the sold-out LaFerrari.

Toyota leaves F1

Toyota are quitting F1 It’s not exactly a huge surprise, but Toyota has announced today that they are leaving Formula One and will not be back in 2010 to take their place.

Which is rather sad for a nation that loves its cars.
