What did the original Aston Martin DB4 G.T. lightweight look like?

You can hear a symphony, worthy of the London Philharmonic, but on six cylinders. An exhaust sound that enamors along a short ride with an unmistakable English style. You can hardly compose something so beautiful with so few shots, as it doesn't feel like it's […]

First official images and data of the Infiniti Q30

Despite fighting in the conservative premium C-segment (fiefdom of Audi, BMW and Mercedes), Infiniti takes a risk with a striking design and giving the Q30 an almost crossover look. In fact, it has a ground clearance of 17 cm (similar to that of a SEAT Leon X-Perience). […]

Contact: Nissan X-Trail 2.0 dCi 4×4

It's a top-selling model, within the seven-seater SUV segment (5+2 to be more precise), and if there's one thing it needed it was higher-powered diesel versions. It's not that the 130bhp dCi engine is always insufficient, but for certain uses it was just a bit […]

SEAT Ibiza, five generations of design

Will 2016 be the year of the convertible SUV?

Its mechanical heart is a twin-turbocharged 7.2 V8 that has been suitably tightened, just look at the maximum torque figure it announces: 1,200 Nm (and it could be self-limiting). Top speed is unknown, but it reaches 100 km/h in under three seconds. It differs […]

Advertisement with a vintage flavour: SEAT 124D

This is the television advertising of the 124d, after its restyling, which shows us the car "made in Spain" covering the 0 to 100 in 13 seconds and more. How times change. But hey, we miss that exhaust tone, that rear-wheel drive behaviour, that short front […]

There are versions of the Polo for almost every taste, from the humble basic 60 hp and Edition finish, to the 192 hp GTI. I'll be analysing it from the point of view of a young man who uses this car for his regular journeys, a circumstance I've simulated with great […]
