BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2009) CAR review

BMW 530d SE Gran Turismo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 09 September 2009 14:00

BMW’s pursuit of niches barely visible to the naked eye continues with the 5-series Gran Turismo. Based on 7-series mechanicals and sharing all its gadgets, the 5 GT is a high-roofed hatchback, with lots of space for rear passengers and their luggage. BMW says it mixes the rear legroom of a 7-series with an SUV’s more commanding seating position and ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S (2009) CAR review

Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 07 May 2009 16:06

If any car has a claim to be the spiritual successor to the knockout Lotus Carlton, it’s the new Vauxhall VXR8 Bathurst S special edition. GM’s back might be firmly up against the wall as it struggles to reinvent itself in a global recession, but the Bathurst S shows its Australian and European divisions still know how to serve up ...

Cadillac CTS-V (2008) CAR review

Cadillac CTS-V (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 12 September 2008 09:00

The Cadillac CTS-V is a super saloon to make BMW M5 drivers feel inadequate. And with a huge 6.2-litre V8 it has the cubic capacity and cylinder count to match the Mercedes AMG trio of C, E and CLS 63. Except GM saw fit to strap an Eaton supercharger to the V8 in the Cadillac CTS-V… That LS9 V8 is ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...

Mercedes E300 Bluetec (2008) by Brabus CAR review

Mercedes E300 Bluetec (2008) by Brabus CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Dan Trent, 16 April 2008 13:21

You know the green bandwagon has gathered momentum when a horsepower hungry tuner like Brabus turns its attention to eco-friendly models like the Mercedes E300 Bluetec. Coming from a company better known for big-cube, bonkers bhp engine conversions this may be a surprise, but in fact diesel tuning has become a huge part of Brabus’s business. The Bluetec exhaust treatment ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Carbon (2008) CAR review

Vauxhall VXR8 Carbon (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

For when (if?) a 530bhp supercharged Vauxhall VXR8 isn’t enough, UK V8 gurus Wortec bring you this 600+ bhp 600 lb ft monster; the Carbon Edition. Let the tyre torture begin… This VXR8 Carbon Edition looks a bit tough This is the VXR8 brought to you by the creators of the Monaro VXR500 - Wortec. Put simply, the Carbon Edition offers ...

Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged (2007) CAR review

Vauxhall VXR8 Supercharged (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 16 October 2007 12:41

So Vauxhall reckons the VXR8 isn't fast enough? You got it in one. Vauxhall's UK performance arm VXR (sister division to the Continentals' OPC Opel brand) is becoming seemingly more power-crazed by the day. It's all very out of keeping with the caring, sharing zeitgeist - think tarmac-rubbing spoilers, lairy exhausts and horsepower adulation. VXR's staple diet is the hot ...

Chrysler 300C SRT-8 (2006) CAR review

Chrysler 300C SRT-8 (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 27 September 2006 09:35

What’s this SRT badge about? I thought the Hemi was the hot one. SRT, or ‘street and racing technologies’ is Chrysler’s answer to BMW’s M, Merc’s AMG and Audi’s RS monikers. Big power, big wheels and big attitude; that's what it's all about. But you're right, the original 50's and 60's Hemis were the top dogs in their day and ...
