Bentley Continental Supersports (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 01 October 2009 10:00

What’s this? Bentley’s answer to the Renault R26R? Well they’re not exactly rivals, but the concept is similar: more performance, less weight and much less seating thanks to the deletion of the rear chairs. And to save everyone else having to peer into your car to confirm it’s a Supersports, the exterior features extra air intakes in a redesigned bumper, ...

Porsche Panamera Turbo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 28 July 2009 14:30

We’ve already driven the Porsche Panamera S. The comfort oriented, two-wheel drive, normally aspirated version of the new four-seater left us feeling less than infused. Enter the Panamera Turbo, the twin-blown 4.8-litre V8 pinnacle of Porsche’s supercar-cum-limo. Could the £100k Turbo be the Panamera we were hoping for? Behind the wheel of the Panamera Turbo Drop yourself into the Porsche’s ...

Bentley Flying Spur Speed (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 06 November 2008 12:23

Bentley has given its monstrously quick but vaguely anonymous Flying Spur a mild facelift and introduced the aptly entitled Speed go-faster pack to further distance itself from top-end V12-powered Mercedes, BMW and Audi models. What’s been done to the base Bentley Flying Spur model? What should have been done when it was launched in 2005, to be blunt. An extensive ...

New Audi S4 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 21 October 2008 12:30

The new Audi S4 is either Ingolstadt’s idea of a bad joke or a stroke of genius. If you follow the former line of thought, then you’re from the camp that thinks the economy has jumped off a cliff, gone into freefall and the last thing the world needs is a grunty super-saloon. But if you side with the latter then ...

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 ...

Artega GT (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 09 September 2008 09:50

The new Artega GT is a Porsche Cayman S rival at 911 money from a brand new German manufacturer. Delusions of grandeur? Perhaps not, because the chief advisor to the project is Karlheinz Kalbfell, an ex-BMW man who helped launch Mini and Rolls-Royce under German ownership, before moving onto Alfa and Maserati. And the VW Group supplies the engine and ...

Brabus Bullit (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 06 June 2008 07:00

The Brabus Bullit is for those people who look at fast German saloons and just see underpowered four-doors. If you want the Bullit, you’re the sort of person who reckons the Mercedes C63 AMG is lethargic. Merc S65 AMG? Just plain slow. You are a speed freak with a warped grip on reality.Does that sound like you? If your answer ...

Infiniti FX50 CAR (2008) review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 05 May 2008 14:21

The Infiniti FX50 will be the upmarket Japanese brand’s most expensive car when the company launches into Europe in autumn 2008. At an estimated £50k and with big 4x4s about as popular as a Cadbury's teapot right now, it’s a brave move. Don't forget, Infiniti isn’t aimed at the conservative luxury market like Lexus. Instead Nissan’s luxury brand is targeting ...

Citroen C5 2.0 HDi (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 11 February 2008 09:28

Citroen caused a stir when it unveiled the new C5. This is a class where Renault admits to making the Laguna purposively conservative. Where Citroen’s sister company Peugeot makes the middle-of-the-road 407. So when the covers came off the C5 we were impressed. And so were CAR readers, who've on the whole praised the new look. Is Citroen finally on a ...

VW Tiguan 2.0 TDi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 24 September 2007 01:38

Why is VW so late to the 4x4 party? Blame management, complicated model cycles and just about every other excuse under the sun. And speaking of the sun, those countries from the land of the rising sun have been doing the medium-sized 4x4 thing since the mid-1990s. Toyota launched the Rav4 over a decade ago, let's not forget. Only this ...
