Trip diary: how Mercedes launches a new S-class

2.5

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 ...

Gavin Green: why Rolls-Royce shouldn't build an SUV

4.5

Gavin Green, 30 October 2012 14:46

Every once in a while, BMW hosts an informal chat between Leading British Motoring Writers and a member of its management board. A year or so ago, we parleyed with Ian Robertson, one-time Rover manager, now done good (he’s head of sales and marketing for BMW, and is probably Britain’s most influential car company executive). This time the man in ...

Mulling modded guilty pleasures of the 1980s

3.5

Chris Chilton, 19 June 2012 09:56

If, like many of us at CAR, you discovered your four-wheeled passion while growing up in the 1980s, you might remember lusting over some dubiously modified German Porsches and Mercs. Bram Corts does. He’s the man behind 1000SEL.com, a brilliant guide to the wheeled equivalent of the shoulder pad, and the inspiration behind our Top 10 back page in the ...

Why Maybach closed: they 'lost €330,000 on each one'

3.5

Georg Kacher, 08 February 2012 10:04

After seven years and only 3000 sold units, the Maybach brand will bite the dust in 2013. It its place, Mercedes will challenge Bentley and Rolls Royce with up to seven different luxury cars derived from the next S-class due, you guessed it, in 2013. What went wrong with Maybach? Was it the name, the product, the positioning, the price? ...

Expensive lavish materials: the new luxury touch

3.5

Tim Pollard, 28 July 2011 11:34

You might be more used to sitting on porcelain in the smallest room in the house and wrapping yourself in a cashmere scarf - but these expensive materials are making their way into the car world. A couple of recent launches suggest the trend for ultra-exclusive materials is growing. At the top end of the market, perhaps inevitably, but nonetheless ...

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

3.5

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

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 ...

Sat-nav voices and the real people behind them

2.5

Ben Pulman, 29 December 2010 08:45

If you’ve got a sat-nav system – and it isn’t voiced by Brian Blessed, Mr T or Master Yoda – then there’s probably a woman’s voice that commands your every move from within that little GPS screen. Like me I’m sure that at least once you’ve wondered what that woman looks like and what she would be like in real ...

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

3.5

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 ...

Learning to draw all over again in the Audi A8

Ben Pulman, 27 May 2010 10:15

So, you’re lucky to head home for the night in Audi’s new A8, and set about trying to impress your girlfriend with its multitude of gadgets. Our car had everything from heated and cooled seats, night vision with pedestrian recognition, headlights that work with the sat-nav, adaptive cruise control that can brake the A8 to a standstill, plus speed limit ...
