A convertible version of the Fisker Karma-based VL Destino will be unveiled at next week’s Detroit motor show, despite the unknown fate of Fisker Automotive. VL Automotive, which is co-owned by former GM boss Bob Lutz, premiered a saloon version of the Destino at the 2013 Detroit show. That model…

Autocar backs British Touring Car Championship
Autocar is backing the Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship as part of a new three-year media partnership announced at the Autosport International racing car expo.

Caterham AeroSeven to get redesign for 2015 launch
The launch of the Caterham Aeroseven has been pushed back to 2015 owing to a complete redesign. The 600kg, 237bhp AeroSeven was originally scheduled to go on sale in Autumn of this year. Caterham Group CEO Graham Macdonald told Autocar that the delay was needed to make changes to the…
MG 3
You might not have seen MG Motor’s previous effort, the 6, around your way much, but rest assured, the Chinese/British hybrid badge is not going away. Sizeable investment in Longbridge has put some genuine meat back on the manufacturer’s borrowed bones and the second model to be (re)built on the…

Anyone involved in the British motorsport industry knows that it is one of this country’s major success stories, but a new survey has shown just how impressive it really is.
