Lamborghini Aventador Roadster (2013) CAR review

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 ...

Pagani Huayra (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Nissan GT-R Track Pack (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 24 May 2012 08:59

This is the Nissan GT-R Track Pack, a stripped-down, pumped-up Japanese coupe with designs on the 911 GT3. A GT-R GT3? Isn’t what the Spec V was all about. The GT-R Spec V was certainly the hardcore GT-R, but it was also obscenely expensive – double the price of the standard car. The Track Pack only costs around £10k extra but still ...

Caterham SP300R (2012) CAR review

Rated 5 out of 55

Ben Barry, 12 April 2012 14:41

There’s very little that’s more exhilarating than an R500, Caterham’s top-of-the-range 7; it wraps 263bhp and a 2.8sec 0-60mph time in a package that weighs little more than your basic coffin. But what next? What if you’ve simply acclimatised to being fired around a racetrack like a rocket on a rollerskate? You might want to try this: the Caterham SP300R. ...

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 ...

Nissan GT-R (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jethro Bovingdon, 07 November 2011 12:20

Can you spot the difference? No? Come on, look really closely. In fact don’t bother, because although this is a thoroughly revised 2012 model year Nissan GT-R, it looks absolutely identical to the 2011 model. So the Nissan GT-R is still huge and brutal and indisputably Japanese. And now it’s even faster, even more capable and even more entertaining. Nissan ...

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 ...

Ariel Atom Mugen (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman (photography by Mark Fagelson), 18 October 2011 12:45

This is the Ariel Atom Mugen. With a little help from Northamptonshire-based Mugen Euro (the European arm of Mugen, Honda’s favoured tuning partner) ten of these £50k Atoms are being built to celebrate the skeletal track car's tenth birthday. There's more power from the Mugen-tuned engine (a tweaked Type R engine in the Atom produces 245bhp; the Mugen Atom has ...
