Trip diary: how Mercedes launches a new S-class

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

The ultimate car geek tour: we go inside Ferrari

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 09 May 2013 16:00

Tues, 7 May. 9.30pm After a flight out of Heathrow and a bewildering detour on a bus, we finally arrive in Maranello for a late dinner at the Museo Ferrari. There's bags of interesting stuff here, but the 288 GTO-based GTO Evoluzione [left] catches my eye - it never raced, but fed into the F40 project – as does the F40 Competizione, ...

Ron Howard talks to CAR about his F1 race movie: 'RUSH'

Rated 4 out of 54

Spent the weirdest day ever on set with Ron Howard as he set about shooting the opening scenes of his forthcoming F1 movie, Rush, which dramatises the rivalry between James Hunt and Niki Lauda in the mid '70s. Over lunch the great man (actually he’s rather short, unassuming and somewhat squeaky voiced) told CAR about the challenge of shooting a ...

McLaren P1 & LaFerrari: witnessing the arrival of supercar royalty

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 08 March 2013 16:40

The world premieres of the LaFerrari and McLaren P1 were special, rare moments: it’s a decade since Ferrari unveiled the Enzo, and twice that since McLaren stunned the world with the F1. Yet the planets all aligned at the 2013 Geneva motor show, where production versions of both supercar heavyweights’ latest flagships were shown, ten minutes and a few hundred ...

Why a new 2013 BMW M5 costs less than a used one

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 21 February 2013 09:00

A new BMW M5 retails for £73,000, so it’s understandable if a would-be owner considers the secondhand options; BMW’s approved used scheme throws up plenty of year-old models for £55,000 or so, including my old longtermer . How is it, then, that the new car can be substantially cheaper than a pre-owned equivalent? Because of the vagaries of personal car ...
