Driven: BMW 1 Series M Coupé
Four hundred and fifty. That is precisely how many of these little 1 Series M cars BMW is planning to sell before each dealer has to borrow a Sold Out sign from the nearest bakery specialising in overly-warm cake products. To put that number in to perspective, it is roughly half the amount of Z3 M ...
The cars of Gumball 2011
Last night the 2011 Gumball 3000 came to a close. With a route that started out in London last Wednesday (26th May) the pack of over 100 cars made their way through Paris, Barcelona, Monte Carlo (attending the Monaco F1 race), Milan, Venice, Zagreb, Belgrade and Sofia before crossing the finish line in Istanbul. Along ...
Unboxing: Mercedes SLS Roadster
Say hello to the SLS AMG Roadster, the sexiest thing to ever have its wings clipped. For a convertible the SLS roadster has had fairly minor tweaks made to it since having its gull wings pinioned, mainly because a soft-top version of the SLS has always been in the pipeline. But this doesn’t mean that the SLS has ...
BMW 1 Series M Coupé update
We’ve just had a look through the archives and realised that here at Motormorph we have been banging on about an uber hot BMW 1 Series for over two and a half years. Since being teased with the 135i Tii Concept in 2008 we have always wanted a big power, low weight entry level M-car. After years ...
Second opinion: Michelin Pilot Super Sport
When it comes to the concept of learning, there is little more useful than a directly proportional relationship. Whether it is a pay as you go mobile phone or the principle of momentum, we are good at understanding when one factor directly increases or decreases another. As far as the four sections of rubber keeping ...
The most epic hypercar meet in the world
This is nothing more than pure hypercar porn, so we will keep it short. It is not very often that Gran Turismo gets out done by reality but they have managed it at a hypercar meet in Shanghai. Play a little game and see if you can name all the cars.
Driven: Nissan Juke
It has got to that time of year where people sit around a pseudo-boardroom filled with cameras to be shouted at by a man who used to sell TV aerials out the back of a van in the name of becoming ‘The Apprentice’. If you have seen the show, or have a BTEC in Business ...
Event: FIA European Rallycross
There can sometimes be a bit mud-slinging between me and a couple of mates about what is better, rally racing or circuit racing. Acting like a non-governmental organisation I wanted to resolve the conflict by finding the middle ground. The motoring middle ground came in the shape of the FIA European Rallycross at Lydden Hill. ...
Unboxing: Porsche GT3 RS 4.0
After months of churning around the internet rumour mill the last ever 997-series model 911 is here. Say hello to the GT3 RS 4.0 everyone. Taking inspiration from the RSR race car, this GT3 is one hell of a weapon for the road. With the engine being increased from 3.8 litres to 4 litres you ...
Driven: Skoda Yeti
I was taught at a young age that you should never judge a book by its cover. However brand prejudice is a funny thing, especially in the world of motoring. When you are parading a big shiny badge on the front of your car day in day out, it is easy for people to make ...
