Car Throttle

Car Throttle was founded in 2009 by Adnan Ebrahim, who saw a gap in the market for a digital space catering to young car lovers like himself. Often referred to as the 'Buzzfeed for cars', the platform rapidly transformed into a lively community that attracts millions of users, affectionately known as CTzens, who engage with the brand through its applications and popular social media channels. Car Throttle focuses on producing and sharing captivating automotive content, while also collaborating with advertisers aiming to connect with this influential audience. Our investors include notable figures from companies such as AOL, Facebook, Skype, and MailOnline.

The Latest Classic Land Rover Defender V8 Loses Its Roof

14 hours ago | carthrottle.com | Mike Bartholomew |Matt Robinson |Ryan Hirons |Phill Tromans

What you’re looking at is an old Land Rover Defender. That much should be obvious. Of course, it’s no ordinary old Land Rover Defender – it’s the latest in Landie’s series of Classic Defender V8s, essentially factory-fresh restomods powered by a gigantic, rumbly V8 motor. This one, as you’ve doubtless spotted, is a bit different to all those other ones, because it’s got a fabric roof.
The Nissan Frontier Pro Is A Funky Pickup With A 402bhp Punch

16 hours ago | carthrottle.com | Mike Bartholomew |Matt Robinson |Ryan Hirons |Phill Tromans

We’re not entirely sure what the traditional pickup truck buyer in the UK would make of one delivering upwards of 402bhp from a hybrid system anchored around a tiny 1.5-litre petrol engine, but that’s just what we’ve got here in the shape of the new Nissan Frontier Pro.
Honda GT Electric Fastback Duo Debuts In Shanghai

17 hours ago | carthrottle.com | Mike Bartholomew |Matt Robinson |Ryan Hirons |Phill Tromans

It can sometimes be a bit confusing to try and wrap your head around the Chinese car industry from the perspective of someone used to the way things are done in Europe. Take these two new China-only models unveiled by Honda at the Shanghai Auto Show. One is the Honda GT, a low-slung electric fastback saloon, and the other is the Honda GT, a low-slung electric fastback saloon. Let us explain.
An MG Cyberster Coupe Is Coming

18 hours ago | carthrottle.com | Mike Bartholomew |Matt Robinson |Ryan Hirons |Phill Tromans

The MG Cyberster is a curious thing. One of the first attempts at an electric sports car at the slightly less silly end of the price spectrum, it’s certainly got the looks and the performance, but as we found when we drove it, it’s a little rough around the edges in places. Some of that stems from a lack of refinement from its soft-top roof, so perhaps a coupe version might help – and that’s exactly what’s just been confirmed for production by MG’s parent company, SAIC, at the Shanghai Auto Show.
You Could Buy A Nissan GT-R First Owned By An F1 World Champion

1 day ago | carthrottle.com | Ryan Hirons |Matt Robinson |Mike Bartholomew |Phill Tromans

Usually, when a celebrity tagline is added to the listing of a car, it’s not of much interest to us. After all, who really cares if a B-list musician or actor has been planting their behind in the seat of a car that, in reality, is rarely any more special than every other version on the market? When you throw an F1 world champion into the equation, though, we’ll be considerably more keen to hear it out. As is the case with this 2009 Nissan GT-R.
Why I’m Replaying Forza Horizon 5 From Scratch On PS5

1 day ago | carthrottle.com | Ryan Hirons |Matt Robinson |Mike Bartholomew |Phill Tromans

It’s still a little surreal that Forza is coming to a PlayStation console. On 29 April (or 25 April if you get the Premium edition), Forza Horizon 5 will launch on PS5. Had that statement been made back in the Xbox 360 and PS3 days, at the height of Forza Motorsport 4 going toe-to-toe with Gran Turismo 5, you would’ve been accused of making up stories on your chosen choice of internet forum.
China-Only AUDI E5 Sportback Revealed, And It’s Not An Audi

1 day ago | carthrottle.com | Ryan Hirons |Matt Robinson |Mike Bartholomew |Phill Tromans

If you’re starting up a new car manufacturer, what would you call it? If you’re Audi, then the answer isn’t all that imaginative. Meet the AUDI E5 Sportback. No, this is not an Audi, which is why there are no rings on the front of it. Rather, this is an AUDI – a China-only sub-brand building electric cars, which will be identifiable via the block capital letters on the front and rear instead. Its first car faithfully replicates the looks of the AUDI E concept revealed late last year.
New Lexus ES Arrives As The Brand’s First EV Saloon

1 day ago | carthrottle.com | Ryan Hirons |Matt Robinson |Mike Bartholomew |Phill Tromans

We’ll forgive you if you’re in the UK and erased the Lexus ES from your mind. Although it’s been available around the world pretty much since the inception of Toyota’s luxury brand, it wasn’t until 2018 when it made its way to our shores. The seventh-generation of the BMW 5 Series and Mercedes E-Class rival wasn’t what you’d call a big seller, either – a figure around 7,000 is believed to have found owners in the time since its market introduction.
A Classic Arcade Racing Game Is Getting A Movie Adaptation

1 day ago | carthrottle.com | Ryan Hirons |Matt Robinson |Mike Bartholomew |Phill Tromans

Video games being turned into films is the big craze in Hollywood at the moment. Minecraft is currently reeling in the money at the box office, following on from the success of The Super Mario Bros. Movie and the probably better forgotten Borderlands. Racing games are a bit trickier to adapt to the silver screen than most other genres, but that wasn’t a stumbling block for Gran Turismo – for better or worse. If reports are to be believed, we’ll have another to add to that soon.
The Porsche 911 Spirit 70 Is A Groovy Tribute To ’70s Style

1 day ago | carthrottle.com | Mike Bartholomew |Matt Robinson |Ryan Hirons |Phill Tromans

When you look back at all the many decades of automotive history, some stand out more than others. Plenty of icons, for instance, came out of the 1960s and 1980s, but sandwiched between them was the 1970s which, for many reasons, wasn’t a brilliant decade for cars. Still, as it has been for over 60 years, the Porsche 911 was at least a shining light among a sea of brown-hued mediocrity.
