Video: the first Ferrari FF crash!


Ouch! I guess it had to happen. With 660bhp pulsing through the rear wheels of the new Marmite Ferrari FF, it was probably only a matter of time before someone's luck ran out.

And it's all been caught on camera. Say hello to Car Magazine's Jethro Bovingdon as he says hello to a kerb in the new FF. What follows is an F-Bomb explosion after the first Ferrari FF crash ever...

Coiled for action!

Before...


... and after

So, our TotallyMotor Alfa Romeo 146 project car is finally ready to attack the bends rolling hard 'n' fast on her new Cobra Suspension lowering springs.

Fitted with ease and lowering and flattening the little Italian with subtle style; we're pleased as punch with the results. Read the full story on our quest for sorted stance and sharper cornering with Cobra Suspension lowering springs - is it time for some extra spring in your step?!

Geneva Motor Show, 2011 - the best bits


You'd probably be hard pushed to pick a favourite new car or concept from the vast and packed halls of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show; the biggest the event has been for some years, now that we're peeking out of the recession. But if you had to pick a favourite, what would it be?

In part 1 of our TotallyMotor round-up we've got some supercar show-stars like the curvy Ferrari FF, the razor-sharp Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 and the supercar-looking, £40k bargain Alfa Romeo 4C. Any of these tickle your fancy?

My own personal favourite comes along in our next round-up chunk, however. It's the 'new Celica' from Toyota; the FT-86II. A front-engine, rear-driving, lightweight coupe like they used to make back in the day.

This MkII concept is getting pretty close to the production car look, and I think it's pretty fab. Can't wait to see what the aftermarket industry does with it when it eventually hits the city streets in 2012. Lots of carbon, big turbo and big rims for a start.

New Lambo? And the rest - Geneva 2011 is smokin!

So we've seen the vicious new Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 and the beautiful blue bombshell Jaguar XKR-S - just a couple of the highlights from the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

And what about that quattro-esque
Audi A3 saloon concept? Just delicious. And then there's the dreamy Ferrari FF, and, not forgetting the 'new Celica', Toyota's FT-86 II concept that's nearly a reality. Recession? What recession - let's have a petrol-powered party!

Geneva Motor Show, 2011 - the HOT stuff

I just love this shot of the Lexus LFA in action. But not just any old LFA, oh no. This is the uber-exclusive Nurburgring Package of which just 50 will be made. One of which will be on show at the 2011 Geneva Motor Show, starting tomorrow.

Don't fret if you can't get there though, because your friends at TotallyMotor have put together a nice and juicy round-up of all the hot models to be seen at the show. Just click right here for your perfect preview of the 2011 Geneva Motor Show.

Dirty DS3 Racing!


Yesterday was a good day. It may have been raining in a cats and dogs-style, but a couple of hours behind the carbonfibre-encrusted steering wheel of the Citroen DS3 Racing and all was right with the world. Hold tight for our down 'n' dirty, rally-style Citroen DS3 Racing TotallyMotor New Car Review.

King Cobra

110 years of AC Cars, eh? Well apparently so and they're celebrating the happy fact with a show stand at the Geneva Motor Show, coming up in March.

No doubt part of that stand will be the AC everybody knows - the iconic Cobra, or MkVI as it's now known.

Its got the all the killer curves of yesteryear, but it's all backed up with modern-day go and stop - a Chevy 6.2-litre V8 making 430bhp and Porsche brakes.

For around £100k you can now go V8-bananas in style, and make it home in without going backwards through any (many?) bushes. See the full AC MkVI
story here.

150mph for under £3k?

Oh yes you can!

Read how to to get silly speeds for silly money - where conditions allow, of course - I hear Germany is nice this time of year.

It's time to go super-saloon with an Alfa Romeo 166 3-litre V6.

Savage 370Z

How about this for slice of black death!

Nissan's 370Z GT4 racecar certainly looks about as mean as a paranoid Pitbull and if you, yes you, fancy a chance of drving it for real, in anger, on the race track, then take a look at the full GT Academy on Gran Turismo 5 story. We really wanna see those fingers!

Bitchin' bikes!

Sundays are boring, right?

Not anymore!

Well, Sunday 27th February should be pretty cool, but we can't guarantee what the rest of your Sunday-life will be like.

The 27th is a date for your loud-diary. The Ace Cafe in North London is hosting the inaugural 'Flattrack Day'; a coming together of one-off wonders from the world of flattracking. The rather groovy event flier explains it best. Read on, and we'll see you there!

Crazy Golf!


There's nothing wrong with a little bit of motorsport coverage on TotallyMotor, especially when it comes in the form of real road cars made mega for the track.

And there's absolutely nothing wrong with VW's latest track-demon, the Golf24. Its got 440bhp and a whole lot more. Check all the juicy details of the red-hot new VW Golf24 racer...

Scorpion's sting


I drove this yesterday - A Fiat Abarth 500 1.4 16V T-JET. Long name I know, but all we really need to know is that's got a punchy 1400cc, turbocharged engine, incredibly sticky handling, eye-stingingly stylish style and an interior that's about as lush as leather gets.

See the full TotallyMotor Used Car Review real soon or buy the car for yourself from Alfa Romeo and Fiat specialists, Veloces of London, right HERE.

Lovely Land Cruisers

Toyota are celebrating 60 years of their rough, tough Land Cruiser right now and we've got the full range of the famous 4x4 in pictures on TotallyMotor - from 1951 to today - and it's too cool to see how the model has evolved from a tinny little 'jeep' into the huge, 7-seater, desert-crunching behemoth we know today.

Here's a pic of my favourite Cruiser; a 1960s stunner in red, rolling on jacked-up suspension and white, slot-mag-style steel wheels and balloon tyres. Just lush!

And that got me thinking back to boyhood and my (geeky?) love of Tamiya 1/10th scale models. And the one I couldn't afford - the top-of-the-range Toyota Hi Lux kit. Proper scaled down suspension, steel ladder frame chassis; just like the real truck, and detailed FRP body. And then I found this pic of one. Oh man, how sweet is this...


Check all the awesome Land Cruiser pics right HERE.

Why does it always rain on me?


You might have noticed our TotallyMotor Product Reviews on some new cleaning products from Kleers. If you didn't, HERE they are.

Some great products that bought the little Alfa up spic and span, but please can somebody tell me why oh why does it always rain on me?

Literally, the moment I finished putting the finishing touches to the 146's glass, standing back to admire my freshly wash and dried Italian supermodel, does the rain start to spit on my perfect paintwork.

I must've been a wasp stinging the bum of humanity in another life!
