Trip diary: how Mercedes launches a new S-class

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 09:00

Hamburg is a long way to go to poke around a new car and not drive it, but when it's a new Mercedes S-class, it's worth the trek, if only to see the tech that'll be filtering down to Golfs and Fiestas over the next decade. As it turned out, I saw rather more than just that… 6.45am The black ...

Rolls-Royce 102EX electric – wafting up the Goodwood hill

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 07 July 2011 09:14

I had the privilege this last weekend of wafting Up The Hill in Rolls-Royce’s remarkable 102EX Phantom Experimental Electric at the Goodwood Festival of Speed. If you’ve read Ben Oliver’s excellent first drive you’ll know that despite having the biggest battery ever fitted to a passenger vehicle – there are 96 lithium-nickel-cobalt-manganese-oxide cells  beneath that imperious bonnet generating 71kWh, with ...

Ben Barry sends his wife on a trackday

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 14 March 2011 14:15

My wife has spent the best part of a decade patiently standing at the side of race tracks from Mondello to the Nurburgring, watching as I have a riotous old time, poised with the record button on our camera, holding a screaming child, being sunburned and/or lashed with rain. So it seemed only fair to turn the tables and let ...

The UK reaction to the new Jaguar XJ, by Ben Oliver

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 21 June 2010 17:06

One of the real privileges of writing about cars for a living is getting to take important new models out onto the public road, often long before the first customer cars are delivered, and letting fellow car-nuts see them up close or on the move for the first time. I don’t know how many hours I’ve lost in service-station car ...

Never judge a new car until you’ve seen it

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Andrew Franklin, 13 July 2009 10:15

I always follow the rule that you should never make a call on a new car’s looks, style and proportions until you’ve actually walked around it and seen it on the move. It’s said the camera never lies but, as a designer, I know that it’s pretty effective at camouflaging the truth.  I say this having just returned from the ...

Tim Pollard, 16 April 2009 09:28

Last year CAR Magazine contributor Jeremy Hart drove a Rolls-Royce Phantom across South America from Chile to Argentina – writing a daily blog as he pounded across the dramatic scenery in a £300,000 limo. Now you can see the road trip on television as the UK digital channel ITV4 airs the adventure for the first time this Sunday 19 April ...

Rolls-Royce Phantom adventure across South America

Rated 4 out of 54

Jeremy Hart, 04 June 2008 11:00

Day 14 – The finale of our 5000-mile Rolls-Royce adventure: Chile to Argentina. Nothing is ever predictable in South America, especially when you travel by Rolls-Royce Phantom. Just as getting into Chile had been a trial of immense diplomatic challenges, so too was getting out. The border lies high in the Andes, two hours out of San Pedro. But customs ...
