Road rage and me: a personal view

Road rage and me: a personal view

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 16 May 2012 07:00

Some people will scoff at this, but I like to think of myself as a fair and considerate driver: I don’t undertake people, I don’t tailgate (okay, I sometimes give dodderers a gentle push out of the fast lane, and there’s another caveat below, but bear with me), I stick to my urban speed limits, and on motorways and dual ...

The Porsche art cars: paintings on GT2 bonnets

The Porsche art cars: paintings on GT2 bonnets

Can you tell what it is yet? Yes, it's Porsche's answer to BMW's art cars. A new art exhibition opens today at the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart, the Colección Goméz. But instead of using canvasses to display their wares, a collection of enterprising South American artists has used the next most obvious medium: the bonnet from a Porsche 911 GT2. ...

The new June 2011 issue of CAR Magazine out this week names our 54 used car bargains of the decade. It's an issue that routinely vexes any car enthusiast; who hasn't idly whiled away the odd hour or two on Auto Trader or Pistonheads, window shopping their next car? So we set about researching the best prices vs thrills, depreciation ...

Why Porsche design must move on from the 911

Why Porsche design must move on from the 911

The Porsche Panamera is getting lukewarm write-ups, which is a shame. I’ve driven it and like it – I like its comfort, astonishingly fast ground-covering ability, and the utter predictability and linearity of its driving deportment (unlike the tail-wagging 911). The only thing I don’t like apart from its bulk – and I’m in worrying agreement with most of the ...

Play the lottery and kick-start car sales

A recession is looming, the auto industry is suffering and last night the other half suggested we start playing the lottery. I wasn’t too fussed, but then my motoring mind started turning and I began to ponder just which cars I would buy when we won big. So here’s the top ten cars that would sit in my dream garage ...

The folly of a £64k Porsche Cayman

The folly of a £64k Porsche Cayman

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Porsche fans have been clamouring for a Cayman RS. You know the sort of thing: put the body on a diet, send the engine to the gym, and kit out the suspension and brakes with some expensive sporting equipment. Sounds great, only they’ve never done it. Why? Well, if you’re a bit cynical, you might imagine it’s because Porsche doesn’t ...

Thought for the day: is Porsche a sports car maker?

Here's a brain-teaser for a Friday morning. Which is Porsche's best-selling car? The cheapest maybe? An affordable Boxster or Cayman, say? Perhaps the bedrock of its range, the evergreen – and now 29mpg – 911? Nope, it's the Cayenne, Porsche's butch, brash SUV that's done so much harm to the brand, according to the naysayers. Not according to the latest ...

Why Porsche needs a supermini

The latest rumour to fly round the internet is that Porsche is planning a new hatch for 2012. No, not the hatchback Panamera saloon (we’ll see that a lot sooner) but a mid-sized hatch, based on the Mk6 VW Golf that will be shown at this year’s Paris motor show. Sacrilege! Should any such monstrosity turn up – I don’t ...

While chatting to Arash Farboud, the man behind both the original Farboud GT and the new Arash supercar (with a naming policy as imaginative as that he's going to be stuck if he ever builds a third), we got on to the subject of what was in his garage. As well as the Carrera GT he lent us for this ...

Our art editor explains which view of a car is best So which is best? The front or rear of cars? There's been much heated debate in the office recently, and we'd like to poll your views. We spend our lives in the driving seat, looking at the behinds of cars in front, yet most people reckon that cars' derrieres ...
