De Lyonheart K is een Brits beest met 550 pk
Deze kennen we toch nog wel? De epische Jaguar E-Type-achtige die voorheen door het leven ging als Growler.

Sarkozy's onaflatende strijd tegen verkeersdoden heeft geresulteerd in een regel die voorschrijft dat iedereen in Frankrijk een ademtester in de auto dient te hebben. Ook toeristen, toevallige passanten en Nederlanders met sleurhutten. En een extra waarschuwing is tevens op zijn plaats voor een paar nieuwe verkeersregels. (more…)

Non perché l'auto "stoni" o si dimostri sgraziata – anzi, è l'esatto opposto –, ma perché credevamo che l'attuale corso stilistico fosse ormai destinato al pensionamento: le influenze della Evos saranno dunque visibili a partire dalla nuova Mondeo....
