Lamborghini Aventador supercar (2011) CAR review

Lamborghini Aventador supercar (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 04 May 2011 17:30

Lamborghini’s new 691bhp/219mph/£247k Aventador supercar might look like a facelifted Murcielago, but it’s a radically different beast under the skin – and on the road. So what’s new on the new Lamborghini Aventador? The lot. The old Murcielago had some composite body panels but its chassis was a stack of old tubes that happened to stick together, just like the Diablo and ...

Audi R8 LMS (2011) CAR review

Audi R8 LMS (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 26 April 2011 11:05

This is the race version of Audi's R8 V10 and R8 GT supercars, the R8 LMS. Audi scooped a load of silverware in 2009 with these cars and added a class win in the Nurburging 24hrs covered in Phoenix Racing livery. For the 2010 season the Audi R8 LMS was been updated with tweaks to the suspension, gearbox and cooling system. How does ...

Porsche 911 Sport Classic (2011) CAR review

Porsche 911 Sport Classic (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 20 April 2011 09:30

Let’s clear one thing up right now before anyone makes a very incorrect assumption. Despite the presence of that evocative ducktail rear spoiler, retro Fuchs-style wheels and a bile-raising reference in the press material to the 911 Sport Classic being the grandson of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, the two are distant cousins at best. The Carrera RS was ...

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Subaru WRX STI (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 25 March 2011 09:00

Subaru ditched the hot saloon template for fast Imprezas in favour of a hot hatch version in 2008, but now it’s back. This four-door WRX STI doesn’t replace the hatch but joins it in the range in an effort to boost flagging sales. Does it recapture that old Scooby magic, or is this the last gasp of the Japanese nutter ...

Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

Peugeot RCZ 200 (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 18 March 2011 14:00

Peugeot’s brilliant RCZ coupe couldn’t quite topple the VW Scirocco and Audi TT when we tested the trio last year in diesel form. Now we’ve tried the 197bhp petrol RCZ 200 to see if it’s good enough to be the coupe of choice. 197bhp, you say? Has the Peugeot RCZ 200 bought in a load of hot Clio engines from arch rival ...

McLaren MP4-12C supercar (2011) CAR review

McLaren MP4-12C supercar (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 14 February 2011 00:01

Seventeen years after the iconic McLaren F1 made every other supercar redundant, McLaren is back with a new car: the long-awaited McLaren MP4-12C. Here’s a taste of what it’s like, but for our full review get yourself a copy of the March 2011 issue of CAR Magazine, which is on sale on Tuesday. For the benefit of that one moon dweller reading, ...

Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost (2011) CAR review

Ford Focus 1.6 Ecoboost (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 14 January 2011 00:01

The Ford Focus redefined that family hatch when it appeared in 1998. Now there’s a new one, the first significant change to the model in seven years. Can the new 2011 Ford Focus Mk3 move the goalposts again? Read CAR Online's first drive review here - and make sure you read the new February 2011 issue of CAR Magazine, out ...

Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 09 September 2010 15:30

This is the Infiniti M37, and it's Infiniti’s answer to the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. And after we briefly tested the M35 Hybrid version in Japan, this is our first chance to try the new Infiniti M on UK roads. So the Infiniti M37 is now here in the UK, but was it by any chance designed primarily for ...

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 July 2010 09:45

The Jaguar XK120 was so-called because it did 120mph, the XJ220 because it did 220mph. And this is the XKR 75... So it must do 75mph! Some kind of economy special is it? We’ll have you know that this is the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220. Instead of the usual 155mph limiter, this one can run on to 174mph before ...

Audi A1 1.2 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Audi A1 1.2 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Chris Chilton, 18 June 2010 09:55

As promised we’ve got our hands on a different Audi A1 model, the most basic car I could find on the launch: a 1.2 manual. This being a press launch of course, it still had sat-nav and 16s rather than the standard 15in alloys plus various other options, but this is almost the £13,145 bottom rung on the Audi ladder.  ...
