London Black Cab TX | Fully Charged

Published on 10 Feb 2018. Jonny Smith reviews the all new London Black Cab, the TX Electric Taxi from LEVC, on the coldest day of the year so far and takes it out for a proper test: sitting in traffic in rush hour London and then collecting a jet-lagged Robert Llewellyn from the airport. This is the first time that LEVC (formerly the London Taxi Company) has created the recognisable ‘black cab’ with electric propulsion. It comes with all sorts of high-end technology, improved safety features and a petrol range extender, allowing it to cover 80 miles on electric only or 400 miles when combined with the petrol range extender. Equally important, this new model seems like it could be a boon for taxi drivers, their wallets and their health, especially with inner-city clean air regulations becoming more important.

New McLaren 600LT review - the best McLaren yet?
  • Published on Sep 25, 2018. The rate of progress at McLaren seems to have no limits these days; the cars keep coming faster and faster, and they get better every time. And with the 600LT (where the LT stands for Long Tail) McLaren has surpassed its previous efforts again. Having driven it around the challenging Hungaroring GP circuit for a day, Steve Sutcliffe thinks this car is something else again.
