Maserati Granturismo (2007) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 19 July 2007 07:20

Wow! Indeed. Striking stuff isn’t it? From certain angles it’s truly sensational, particularly aspects like the taper of the nose, the A6GCS-style grille and the way the sills pinch and roll under the car to give a beautiful waisted look. But other details don’t work so well. Maserati is proud that the rear lights use the same LED technology that ...

Maserati Quattroporte Automatica (2007) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 19 January 2007 11:30

An auto box in a big luxury saloon? That’s hardly news… It is for Maserati. To mark the Quattroporte out as a very different, more sporting proposition to its mainly German rivals, it has only been offered with the Duo Select automated manual until now. Although it has an auto mode, it still uses a clutch and will never be ...

Audi R8 (2007) CAR review

3.5

Phil Mcnamara, 18 January 2007 10:49

A mid-engined supercar from Audi – how extraordinary... Make no mistake, this is a seminal motoring moment. The R8 is Audi’s first mid-engined supercar, designed to prove that Ingolstadt can mix it with pedigree sporting brands like BMW and Porsche. The launch version – running a V8 – costs £77k, a chunky price tag which illustrates Audi’s three-decade transformation into ...

Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 21 September 2006 08:00

A 911 Targa? It’s just a Carrera with a super-size sunroof isn’t it? Pretty much. But it’s been a staple of the 911 range since the first appeared in the mid sixties. Back then it was a solution to the problem of offering a convertible at a time when it looked like roll-over conscious America might ban traditional soft tops. ...

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2006) CAR review

3.5

Ben Oliver, 07 September 2006 08:50

Another old engine in a new shell; why should I get excited? True, both the new XK and now the new XKR use drivetrains largely carried over from the last-generation XK. But there wasn't much wrong with the old engines, and a whole lot right with the new chassis. The extra power of the supercharged XKR - 420bhp versus 300bhp ...

Mercedes R63 AMG (2006) CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 07 August 2006 07:36

My, that looks a bit of a beast! You're not wrong there. Mercedes new R63 AMG, which tops Mercedes' new range of six-seat R-models, is just what you'd expect it to be. Vast, fast, luxurious and with enough of a dynamic sting in its tail to fool you into thinking it's a wieldy sporting saloon rather than a 2375kg chunk ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2006) CAR review

2.5

Angus Fitton, 04 August 2006 10:51

Another fast Merc? What makes this one special? This is the new CLS63, using the all-new 6208cc V8 already fitted to the CLK and E-class and rolling out across the Benz line-up. It replaces the supercharged 5.4-litre CLS55 AMG, which with 469bhp was hardly slothful. It looks like the CLS350 Piers Morgan runs for CAR Magazine. It can't be that ...

Mercedes SLK55 AMG Black Series (2006) CAR review

Angus Fitton, 31 July 2006 05:33

Sounds ominous, what's it all about? AMG's gone hardcore to take on BMW’s 'CSL' and Audi's 'RS' monster saloons. From the new cutting edge Performance Studio in Affalterbach AMG has the capability to design, develop and build low volume niche cars beyond anything previously carrying the three-pointed star. Give me the highlights… The starting point is a standard SLK55. Power ...
