Supercars

I recently called into Piaggio UK for a sneak peek of the new Moto Guzzi Stelvio and Aprilia RS457.

These all-new models both represent important steps for the manufacturers. Unfortunately, they were jus for display and we didn't get a chance to ride, but wow!

First up is the Aprilia RS457. This sits between the RS660 and RS125 providing both an A2 stepping for those moving up from smaller capacity bikes and a fast, fun alternative to an unusable litre bike. 

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you put a V4 superbike engine into an adventure bike chassis? 

Ducati has done exactly this with the Multistrada V4 and its derivatives. 

I had the pleasure of Ducati's Multistrada V4 S’s company recently for a couple of weeks, and when I say it was a pleasure, I mean it. 

The Harley-Davidson Sport Glide is a motorcycle that exudes style and performance.  

It's a versatile machine that crosses boundaries. It’s at home tearing up the city streets, cruising to your favourite cafe or being a relaxed tourer.

With its powerful Milwaukee-Eight® 107 V-Twin engine, comfortable riding position and stylish design, the Sport Glide is a great choice for riders who want to enjoy the raw, brutish nature of a Harley Davidson V-Twin but with the dynamics of a well-designed, well sorted chassis.

Is embarking on a 1000-mile journey in a Lamborghini Huracán EVO Spyder a rational decision? Perhaps not, but after the first 500 miles, you begin to understand how this machine behaves, and you seamlessly become one with it. A harmonious fusion of man and machine occurs, resulting in a driving experience that approaches perfection.

Powerful engines, unmistakable design, innovative technologies and a burning passion for motorcycles: That is the credo of Ducati, the most desirable brand for powerful two-wheel products.

I was recently lucky enough to taste some of Ducati's delicious offerings for a couple of hours on a press day. One of the delights was the Panigale V2, named after the district of Borgo Panigale, home of Ducati.

The Audi R8 V10 Performance RWD Spyder is smoother than a penguin in a tuxedo. It's the epitome of automotive elegance, gliding along the streets with a grace that could make a swan jealous. If sophistication were a car, this Spyder variant would be leading the parade, turning heads and effortlessly oozing style like a catwalk model at a fashion show. And Spyder means that you get to enjoy the open sky as seen from the comfort of a supercar.

Welcome to the last and extraordinary Mustang V8 California Special – the epitome of style and open-top thrills. Clad in the striking Grabber Blue, it exudes a commanding presence, inviting endless summer vibes with its convertible top.

Maserati unveils the MC20 Notte, the premier limited edition of its super sports car MC20, crafted for racing prowess on the track and engineered for superior performance on the road. The MC20 Notte Edition pays homage to the bold spirit that has continuously propelled the Trident forward, starting from Maserati's inaugural participation in one of history's most iconic races.

To fully savour the Lexus RX experience, we embarked on an unforgettable journey through the scenic landscapes of England, beginning our adventure in Surrey and making our way to Cornwall, where we enjoyed a delightful stay at the St Moritz Hotel in Polzeath. Our return trip to Surrey coincided with the transition from the last rays of summer sun to the arrival of October storms.

Audi, In a stroke of creative genius that amply demonstrates their spirit of adventure, sponsored the 2023 Queens Cup Balloon Race.

Definitely one of the most exciting and thrilling races I have ever covered. Imagine a fusion of rally car driving, classic yacht racing, Georgian airships and three-dimensional chess and you have a rough idea of the Queens Cup Balloon Race. Now throw in a massive sprinkling of great British eccentricity and a dash of those magnificent men in their flying machines and you're there.
