Rolls-Royce launched the Ghost Series II at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show this week. The British luxury carmaker has made minor updates to the Roll-Royce Ghost’s exterior for the Series II, whereas the interior gets more gadgetry to play with.
Koenigsegg, the Swedish car company that first burst into the scene in 1994, is now considered one of the top names among hypercar makers in the world. And further helping their cause as they enter into their 20th year in the industry is the new Agera One:1, which after weeks of teasing, made its way into the 2014 Geneva Motor Show.
We’ve had our Range Rover for nearly 18 months now. When we bought it, it had some minor cosmetic flaws that we elected to leave as-is at the time, because they didn’t hinder the operation of the car.

Overseas media trips usually follow a strict regimen — you eat, sleep and drive whatever’s on “The Plan” and you do not deviate from it.

Renault launched the Twizy, a full electric car, at the 2014 Qatar Motor Show. Renault will be the first car manufacturer to sell a 100% electric vehicle in the Middle East.
The awkwardly-styled BMW 1-Series has always been an acquired taste ever since it launched in 2004. But I’ve always been a fan of the top-spec 1-Series which have combined arguably BMW’s best inline-6 engines with an entertaining chassis and probably most closely evoke the spirit of past BMWs than most of the other current models. Having owned (and loved) a 2007 130i M Sport back in London, as soon as I saw the M135i I knew I had to have it as it promised to be even better than the old car.
It is quite hard to believe that the Volkswagen Scirocco has been in the market for 6 years now without any changes. However, the 2014 Geneva Motor Show next month brings with it an updated Scirocco.
Let’s just say, the hot-hatch segment just got hotter. And yes, the reason certainly has to be the new Audi S1. The supermini will show up at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show soon.
