Every year the Tokyo Auto Salon gets bigger and better. But bigger and better also means more hectic crowds and cars displayed in tighter spots. That makes it hard to be able to see all the cars without any interruptions. That is, until the show ends and everything gets packed up. The pack up of TAS is just as impressive as...
McLaren is on a roll. Last year they launched the track-oriented version of the Senna, the Senna GTR, at the Geneva Motor Show. In the summer, the 600LT was introduced to compliment the Sports Series range, while the Speedtail became the third model in the Ultimate Series. 2018 saw McLaren sell 4806 cars worldwide, a 43.9% increase over...
For the third year running the Automobile Council brings classic and modern together in Tokyo. One of the few classic car shows in Japan, the Automobile Council is slowly building a reputation as the go-to show to buy and sell classic car, ogle at the latest and greatest, and get away from the summer heat. Held at the Makuhari...
Summers in Japan are never fun. High 30s temperatures mixed with high humidity makes doing anything outdoors a literal living hell. But when Ferrari invited me to check out their two-day Racing Days event at Fuji Speedway, I couldn’t turn down an offer like that. I soldiered on and braved the scorching heat. Think of Ferrari...

It’s hard to pick them apart as they’re usually just as dull and uninspiring. That’s why I’ve always liked Mazda’s...
The 88th Geneva International Motor Show kicked off earlier this week and as usual saw the debut of a whole host of bright and shiny new cars. Geneva may not be the biggest motor show on the calendar but it’s certainly one of the best and most important.From the latest physics-defying hypercars only the wealthiest of Swiss bankers...
Disclaimer: This isn't a review of the Nissan Note e-Power but rather a glimpse at this new (for Japan, anyway) hybrid technology and its application in the real world.The electrification of cars is here to stay. Even as diehard petrolheads, it's something we all must accept whether we like it or not. Nearly every week there’s an...
The walls of the Ryogoku Kokugikan were covered in red today. It was all part of Ferrari’s ongoing 70th Aniversary celebrations they’ve been having since March this year. After a whole year of events held by various clubs and dealers it has all lead up to this celebration at one of Tokyo’s most important sumo...
