Nissan slashes 370Z price and adds hot Nismo model for 2013

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 16:00

Nissan has given the 370Z a shot in the arm for its fourth year on sale, cutting the price of the entry-level model by £3,005, and adding a new range-topper: the upgraded 370Z Nismo. So just how cheap is a new 370Z now? You can get a base-spec coupe for £26,995, which comes with the facelifted front end (new bumper ...

Ford Focus ST (2013) long-term test review

the CAR road test team, 23 May 2013 09:00

Month 3 running a Ford Focus ST: should the ST have four-wheel drive? Interesting one, , this: Ford won’t sell you the punchiest diesel Kuga SUV in front-wheel-drive guise, instead ensuring that its 251lb ft of torque flows through all four tyres. But our Focus ST channels 265lb ft through the front wheels alone, with none of the trick limited-slip ...

BMW M4 spy shots (2014) super-coupe reaches testing climax

Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 13:00

These spy shots of a pre-production BMW M4 coupe show that the new M car is in the final stages of development. With only a thin veil of camo-tape wrapping the aggressive ducts and flared flanks of the new M Division coupe, it’s clear the M4 is on track for its summer 2014 arrival – following the new M3 at ...

Lotus prices Exige S Roadster from £52,900

Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 11:00

Lotus has announced its new Exige S Roadster will be priced from £52,900 – exactly the same as the hard-top Exige S. It’s also slightly lighter than the fixed-head Exige, and matches its blistering acceleration times. That £52,900 tag makes the 345bhp Exige S Roadster £7500 pricier than a (pre-options list) Porsche Boxster S manual, though the 1328kg Porsche makes ...

2.5

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 15:00

In the week leading up the 2013 Monaco F1 Grand Prix, you’d expect to see some exotic cars patrolling the principality’s streets – but perhaps not camouflaged sporty BMW test mules. That’s exactly what CAR reader Matthew Stanton spotted on Monaco’s Rue Grimaldi, outside the headquarters of British yachtmakers Sunseeker. Are those hard-working BMW test-drivers taking a break in the ...

The new BMW Mini is almost ready, as we can see in these spy shots sent in by CAR reader Marc G. S. Chapman. Marc spied this disguised Mini Cooper S in a four-car-convoy in Buckinghamshire, undergoing final UK set-up testing ahead of an expected debut at the Frankfurt motor show in September 2013.

Renaultsport Megane Red Bull Racing RB8 (2013) first pictures

Ollie Kew, 21 May 2013 10:00

Five months after winning its third consecutive F1 constructor’s title, Red Bull has teamed up with F1 engine producer’s Renault to celebrate with a special hot hatch. It’s called (deep breath): Renault Megane Renaultsport Red Bull Racing RB8. Surely the engine supplier to the mighty Seb Vettel has upped power for this RS Megane? Nope. It’s still a 2.0-litre turbocharged ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

3.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 10:30

BMW has updated the M5 super-saloon alongside the facelifted 5-series range. There are only tiny visual tweaks, but the big news is a new Competition Package version to take the fight to the new Mercedes E63 AMG S. What modifications do M5s fitted with the Competition Package get? More power for a kick-off. Like the regular M5, the Competition is ...

Aston Martin CC100 Speedster (2013) first official pictures

Ollie Kew, 19 May 2013 12:00

This insane creation is Aston Martin's 100th birthday present to itself. Christened the CC100 Speedster, the one-off concept hints at future design details for production Astons. And there I was thinking all Astons look the same... The CC100 is inspired by the 1959 DBR1 racer driven by Sir Stirling Moss at the Nurburgring 1000km. The split cockpit, cutaway doors and ...
