Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton (photography by Greg Pajo), 12 April 2013 13:00

This is the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. For almost £300k, you get a 691bhp V12, 217mph performance, and the most head-turning looks of any car this side of a Pagani Huayra. But is it a true driver's car underneath the pantomime. Read on for the definitve CAR verdict. Can the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster justify its huge £300k price tag? You ...

Ben Barry, 06 February 2013 09:01

Welcome to CAR's review of the Pagani Huayra supercar. Don't forget to check out Ben Barry's video review lower down the page, to see and hear that amazing bi-turbo V12 in action... You’ll know that the supercar world has changed beyond recognition since the days of the Ferrari 288 GTO and Lamborghini Countach. Most of the minnows have been swallowed ...

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (2012) CAR Review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 30 July 2012 09:22

Here it is, then, CAR Magazine's long-awaited first drive review of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, replacement for the 599. The F12 is an all-new car, but the basics remain familiar: a powerful, naturally aspirated V12 sits ahead of the driver, while power flows to the rear wheels only. What are the key features of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta? The 6262cc V12 ...

Ferrari 458 Italia (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 30 May 2012 09:45

Well, I’ve waited for what seems an eternity to get my hands on the Ferrari 458 Italia, and all I can say is, boy, was it worth it! Speed, agility, comfort, refinement, all-round usability and high-speed nonchalance… Other supercars will undeniably offer you some, or even most of these attributes – Audi’s glorious R8 V10 perhaps coming closest to encapsulating ...

Lexus LF-A Nürburgring (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 13 February 2012 13:30

Back in June 2010, right in the middle of the Toyota unintended acceleration scare, Lexus LFA test driver Hiromu Naruse died when his LF-A Nürburgring ploughed into a 3-series carrying BMW engineers on the 410, one of the public roads outside the Nürburgring. Toyota sources say Naruse-san didn’t appear to have been wearing his seatbelt and appeared to have been ...

Audi R8 GT Spyder (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Georg Kacher (photography by Greg Pajo), 20 October 2011 14:30

This is Audi’s R8 GT Spyder, and you can think of it in one of two ways: it’s a drop-top version of the R8 GT, itself a lighter and more powerful version of the already sublime R8 V10 supercar; or it’s a Lamborghini Gallardo Performante, sanitised (slightly) by the men and women from Ingolstadt. Read on for our first drive ...

Jaguar XKR-S (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 01 June 2011 00:01

The new XKR-S is Jag’s hottest XK yet, a 542bhp beast based on last year’s 75 anniversary special but with even more power. And this time it's got mouth as well as trousers. The front end of the XKR-S features a pair of gaping nostrils delivering air to the supercharged V8, and a black mouth that gives it a very ...

Lamborghini Aventador supercar (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 04 May 2011 17:30

Lamborghini’s new 691bhp/219mph/£247k Aventador supercar might look like a facelifted Murcielago, but it’s a radically different beast under the skin – and on the road. So what’s new on the new Lamborghini Aventador? The lot. The old Murcielago had some composite body panels but its chassis was a stack of old tubes that happened to stick together, just like the Diablo and ...

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Super Sport (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 17 March 2011 14:00

Obscure supercars come and go, each proclaiming to be faster than the Bugatti Veyron. Five years after driving the original Veyron, it's time to try this final evolution of the species, the Super Sport, a car that should secure Bugatti the ‘World’s Fastest’ title for some time. How has a standard Bugatti Veyron become a Bugatti Veyron Super Sport? By ...

Aston Martin Virage (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 14 March 2011 12:00

This is a new Aston Martin and it revives the Virage name. Fortunately it looks nothing like the old Virage, but some will be disappointed that it looks very much the DB9 on which it’s based (which means it also looks quite a lot like the rest of Aston’s range). So what is it? Well, it neatly plugs the gap ...
