Can a supercar ever be a daily driver? CARIOSITY’s host Issam ‘Simi’ Merheb takes a McLaren 720S through its paces in the streets of Beirut, testing the car’s ability to handle chockablock roads and daily errands. Powered by a twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 that at pumps out…
After making our way from Spielberg through miles of emerald Austrian countryside, over sweetly babbling brooks, past white gingerbread houses with brown trim and window boxes of barely contained pink geraniums, we turned into the forest. From there we took a trail and journeyed up thro…
In September we were invited to San Francisco to witness the future of Audi, and the future it seems is quiet, expensive and electric. But let’s not ignore how consumers are now buying more fossil-fuelled SUVs than ever before, so the question is: why is Audi messing with a good thing? …
If the Veyron rewrote the book when it comes to hypercars, the Chiron represents Bugatti’s next volume. Harder, better, faster, stronger – we uncovered all you need to know about this Ultimate Car at its US launch in Pebble Beach. They say there’s a fine line between madness and genius.…
What inspired you to become a Formula One driver? I used to watch the Grand Prix races with my dad growing up, and I wanted to be Ayrton Senna. Everyone should dream big, and I’ve never stopped pursuing mine since then. If you could be anything other than a racing driver, what would it …

Set against the idyllic views of Lake Como, the annual Concorso d’Eleganza Villa d’Este is an automotive event quite unlike any other. Architects have the Pritzker. Actors have the Oscars. Singers have the Grammies. And cars – well, not just any cars but the finest, rarest and most expe…
It’s a key moment in time for Aston Martin. Let’s not forget that the company, which is now owned by Kuwaiti and Italian investment firms, has gone bankrupt seven times in its 115-year history and, up until 2017, it had posted an annual loss for six years running. Yet, under the steward…
After triumphing with the BMW-beating Giulia Quadrifoglio, Alfa Romeo took an even bigger gamble: the fiercely competitive crossover-SUV segment, today the fastest-growing sector on earth, outselling traditional cars in many markets worldwide.
