''Lewis Kingston'' is a British motoring journalist who has written for several magazines and websites, primarily in Britain. He is currently senior reviewer at the UK-based titles ''Autocar'' and ''What Car?'', both operated by the privately owned Haymarket Media Group, and primarily writes new car reviews and group tests. He joined the company in February 2013, as deputy digital editor of ''Autocar''. Lewis previously worked as a consumer journalist at ''Parker's Car Guides'', writing reviews, news and features. He has also contributed to other titles and has made multiple TV and radio appearances to discuss motoring-related subjects. Notable articles written by Lewis include an attempt to hit 150mph in a £500 Jaguar, coverage of the reveal of the Keating 'The Bolt' supercar and a test of the Tesla Motors supercharger network in Europe. In February 2015, during magazine-related performance testing at Millbrook Proving Grounds, he twice experienced complete brake failure in the new Suzuki Celerio. All activities involving the car, which was due on sale the following weekend, were suspended as a result of the failures until the problem could be identified. Both ''Autocar'' and ''What Car?'' ran updates, and later a feature, on the incident. Suzuki invited Lewis back to Millbrook in order to test cars fitted with the redesigned braking component, which proved to be trouble-free. During his first year at ''Autocar'', Lewis won the headlineauto "Young Writer of the Year award" in the Guild of Motoring Writers Awards. He also came second in the "Rising Star of the Year (Consumer)" category in 2011, following his first several months in the industry. Lewis has an interest in engineering and studied motorsport engineering at Coventry University. He has owned numerous classic cars, many of which he has carried out restorations and upgrades on. Current projects include the recommissioning of a 1968 Dodge Charger, which he purchased in February 2015. It replaced a 1988 Lancia Delta Integrale, which appeared briefly in ''Autocar magazine'' as a long-term test car. == External links == * (Lewis Kingston on Autocar ) * (Lewis Kingston on Twitter ) * (Parkers Car Reviews ) * (Guild of Motoring Writers award results 2013 ) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lewis Kingston」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
