BMW has taken the covers off the new-gen M3 sedan and M4 coupe and many on the internet wish they hadn’t. The carmaker’s current design language has already been criticised a lot for the most polarising element – the disproportionately large kidney grilles. It’s most shocking version was seen on the regular 4 Series Coupe […]
No, I don’t actually follow the World Endurance Championship or any endurance format racing series with much attention. However, I’m always impressed by the engineering involved and the human spirit behind committing to a ludicrous exercise just to push our the limits of man and machine. Of the many races in the world of endurance […]
The 1960s was the golden era for sports cars and automotive design. It would be a feature in itself to name the icons from that period but to name drop a few, that’s when we got the Ford Mustang, Lamborghini Miura and Ferrari 250 GTO. Yeah. So, it would make sense if a few names […]
Nissan has made some of the world’s most iconic monickers like the Skyline, the GT-R, the Leaf EV and the Z Series sports cars. In recent times, the Japanese carmaker has been somewhat inactive in its most exciting department and instead focussing on volume segment crossovers. The R35 and the 370Z have been around for […]
The Mugello circuit is the first special track for this year’s Formula 1 calendar. In fact, F1’s never raced here before even though Mugello is more of a home to Ferrari than Monza and this track has hosted the Italian round of Moto GP for many years now. So, this would be a new experience […]
While 2020 has been a year to forget, it’s still worth celebrating the fourth anniversary of the Auto Loons blog. The exact date was a short while ago, on September 4, but it’s been a bit hectic and that’s kept me from getting this done on time. It’s somehow been a more productive year than […]
Two seats, mid-engined layout and a sub-3 second 0 to 100kph time. Just about every new supercar has those three elements. However, not every new supercar bears the badge of the trident. The last time Maserati made a supercar, it was a road-going version of its racecar (for homologation purposes) and it was based on […]
It was shocking and at the same time, it wasn’t. Racing Point has announced that they’ll be dropping Sergio Perez at the end of the 2020 season. Soon after, Sebastian Vettel confirmed he’ll be filling that seat in 2021 when Racing Point will become an Aston Martin work’s team. Once Ferrari confirmed Vettel’s departure before […]
A normal F1 season only has one Italian GP and Monza has been on the calendar since the beginning of F1. Even now, this fast-paced circuit manages to serve up a fair bit of exciting racing every now and then. The circumstances surrounding the 2020 F1 season have been far from normal and we actually […]
Aston Martin makes pretty cool limited edition, high-performance cars with a distinct design language to differentiate it from the Italian crowd. Let’s face it, they are the name that has to make cars worthy of fictional spy supreme, James Bond. Well, some people are even more special to the British carmaker than Bond himself. One […]
