Renault Scenic XMOD (2013) first official pictures

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 04 February 2013 11:20

This is the new Renault Scenic XMOD. Following the Kaptur compact-crossover, it's Renault's latest attempt to jump on partner Nissan's niche-building bandwagon. Replacing the regular Scenic MPV in the Renault range, the XMOD adds a dash of utilitarian crossover pretensions to the mumsy Scenic. The seven-seat Grand Scenic will remain, albeit with a facelift cribbed from the Scenic XMOD's look. So ...

Mercedes has squeezed another 50bhp out of the C63 AMG, creating the 500bhp 'Edition 507' range. The power bump comes courtesy of forged pistons new connecting rods and a lightweight crankshaft inherited from the £160,000 SLS AMG supercar. Why is this special C63 AMG called the 'Edition 507'? Thanks to those exotic engine internals the motor develops 507PS, or 500bhp in ...

Ollie Kew, 01 February 2013 09:01

Toyota is bringing a drop-top GT86 to next month's Geneva motor show. Based on its sublime lightweight GT86 coupe, the FT-86 Open (the show car has ditched the 'GT' name reverted to the 'FT' tag because it's currently only a concept) will be revealed in March 2013. 'FT' stands for 'Future Toyota', and Toyota has already started the media tease by releasing this sketch. Is the Toyota GT86 convertible confirmed ...

Hyundai Veloster Turbo (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

the CAR road-test team, 01 February 2013 09:00

Month 1 running a Hyundai Veloster Turbo: the Veloster arrives If you’ve read the last few issues of CAR, you’ll know that we like Hyundai’s Veloster Turbo a great deal. While the anaemic performance of the naturally aspirated engine in the standard Veloster dims its overall appeal, the Turbo posts some far more attractive go-faster figures. It’s the first of ...

Mercedes-Benz SLC AMG (2015) scoop

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher (Picture credit: Schulte Design), 31 January 2013 09:00

Mercedes’ successor to the SLS supercar is shaping up, and it will be a smaller, more agile coupe targeting the Porsche 911. That means a smaller V6 engine (as well as an SLS-style V8) and a lower, £70,000 starting price. The car is due on sale in 2015. Codenamed C190, the most likely name is SLC at the request of ...

Audi RS5 Cabriolet (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 30 January 2013 09:40

The weight of expectation hung heavy over the RS5 when it was launched in 2010. After the RS4 saloon had come oh-so-close to beating the M3, Quattro GmbH’s first RS coupe had all the potential to finally best the BMW. But despite a cracking naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, a quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox and UK-friendly four-wheel drive, the RS5 took a ...

And Reil also told CAR he wants to save Audi's high-performance naturally aspirated engines, and make future RS models lighter... Why does Audi want to give the RS6 Avant even ...

Bentley Continental GT Speed (2013) review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Steve Moody, 28 January 2013 10:24

Driving the new 205mph Bentley Continental GT Speed around Thruxton, Britain’s fastest racetrack: now that’s a day out you look forward to. After all, this fastest-ever (roadgoing) twin turbocharged, W12 Bentley has 616bhp, up from 567bhp the standard W12. It does the 0-62mph sprint in four seconds, and the lap record around the gentle rolling straights of Thruxton was set ...

Fiat Panda 4x4 TwinAir (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Steve Moody, 28 January 2013 09:10

When the very first Big Willie tanks clanked and crawled across the killing grounds of the Somme, it quickly became apparent that weight is not helpful for vehicles off the beaten track. Odd then, that nearly a century later we are still attempting to grind our way across hostile terrain in blasted great things of many tonnes. Handily, we’re not ...
