Photo Gallery – 2016 Newcastle NE1 Motor Show

What did we learn from the 2015 Detroit Auto Show?
As the first major event on the global automotive calendar, the North American International Auto Show sets the scene for the rest of the year to come. Yes, there’s a definite US-centric bias to a lot of the offerings on show, but many of the new cars will also be available globally. Check out the key…
Bentley Continental GT3-R – Refined road racer?
