Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo concept (2012)

Ben Pulman, 26 September 2012 22:00

This is the new Porsche Panamera Sport Turismo concept car, unveiled on the eve of the 2012 Paris motor show. We hear that we won’t see a Sport Turismo version of the current Panamera, but this concept instead previews the facelift treatment that will be applied to Porsche’s four-door saloon as part of a mid-life refresh in 2013. And beyond ...

3.5

After three turbo RS models, Quattro changed tack and fitted the second-generation RS4 with a naturally aspirated engine. And what an engine: the Le Mans-winning R8 sports prototype donated its FSI direct-injection technology; 90% of the torque is still available at 7800rpm and the 8250rpm redline means it revs like no other Audi. Plus, the Sport button on the steering ...

Audi’s maiden foray into M5 territory marked more new developments for Quattro. Power still came from a twin-turbo engine (now a 4.2-litre V8 from the S6), but future traits such as silver door mirrors, RS-branded calipers and twin oval tailpipes appeared. This was also the first RS fitted with an automatic transmission, and the first to be offered as a ...

Used cars: how to buy a second hand Audi RS4 Avant (2000-2001)

2.5

Like the RS2, the first RS4 was available only as an Avant. This time Quattro didn’t call on Porsche, but although much of the r&d was completed in-house, Cosworth Technology (then owned by Audi) was enlisted to upgrade the S4’s engine – it redesigned the cylinder head and fitted larger turbos to liberate 113bhp and 30lb ft more. It’s quicker ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Audi RS2 Avant (1994-95)

Ben Pulman, 07 September 2012 09:00

RS2 Audi’s Quattro division was formed in 1983, but Chairman Mao wouldn’t have been impressed by the work ethic: it took until 1990 before an ‘S’ model appeared, and another four years for the first RS to arrive.The Audi 80 Avant underpinnings were humble, but with help from Porsche the RS2 was transformed into an über-estate that could hit 30mph ...

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 15 June 2012 09:25

This is the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse. Or to give it its full name: the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. It’s the ultimate Veyron, mixing the targa-roofed (and reinforced) body of the Grand Sport with the upgraded 1183bhp engine from the world record-breaking Super Sport. It’s yours for £1.6m. 1183bhp? In a convertible Bugatti Veyron? Are you sure? Yes we ...

BMW 640d M Sport Gran Coupe (2012) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 25 May 2012 07:00

This is the new 2012 BMW 6-series Gran Coupe – and it’s been a long time coming. Such is the pace of the modern automotive industry that as soon as one (usually premium German) manufacturer finds a new niche, its rivals rush in too. But Mercedes genuinely stole a march on the competition when it launched its CLS ‘four-door coupe’ ...

Bentley set to enter Dakar rally with new SUV

Ben Pulman, 17 May 2012 11:15

Is Bentley planning to enter the 2013 Dakar rally with a race version of its new Range Rover-rivaling luxury SUV? CAR has uncovered early plans suggesting that Crewe is preparing to do exactly that, helping give its EXP 9F 4x4 a motorsport pedigree to smoothe the arrival of this rather controversial 4x4. CAR understands that Bentley is currently buying back the Race ...

Ben Pulman, 14 May 2012 10:30

This is the new BMW M135i, a 316bhp hot hatch and the fifth model to emerge from BMW's new M Performance Automobiles tuning arm. We've already seen the 5-series (in saloon and Touring guises) and the X5 and X6 with triple-turbo diesel engines from this new sub-division of BMW's infamous M Division, but the M135i the first petrol offering. The M135i was ...

This is the new Audi RS6 Avant, snapped testing at the Nürburgring – it’s a 542bhp über-wagon that goes on sale in the UK in 2013. Powered by a new twin-turbo V8 engine, this is the third-generation RS6 Avant, and its 542bhp powertrain and Quattro chassis will also find its way into Audi's A6-based A7 to create a new RS7 Sportback. It's not yet clear ...
