Audi RS3 Sportback (2011) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 17 February 2011 09:00

This is the Audi RS3 Sportback, a near-£40k hot hatch with 335bhp, four-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It’s the smallest, cheapest RS model ever produced by Quattro GmbH, and is a final hurrah for the A3 with a new model just around the corner. Can it combine S3 Sportback practicality with TT RS attitude? Read on for CAR’s first ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 16 February 2011 09:59

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 12 January 2011 16:36

This is the Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro, the first full-production hybrid road car from Audi and our first taste of the modular turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine/electric motor mated to a lithium-ion battery pack. We'd better get used to this: the same tech will appear in the A6 and A8 Hybrids. CAR has just tested the new Audi Q5 Hybrid Quattro, so ...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 27 December 2010 09:00

This is the (deep breath) Lamborghini Gallardo LP570-4 Spyder Performante. Think of it as a drop-top version of the Gallardo Superleggera, with the same weight-saving measures and the same 562bhp V10 engine. And with the Murcielago now dead, it’s the most expensive Lamborghini currently on sale. Read on for CAR’s first drive review of the new Lamborghini Performante. How do ...

Porsche 911 GT2 RS (2010) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 22 December 2010 09:00

This is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, not just the most powerful 911 that Porsche has ever built, but also the company's most powerful road car period. It has 611bhp from its twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat six, and for the facelifted 997 911 Porsche hasn’t bothered building a regular GT2 but skipped straight to this RS-spec car. It costs £100k more ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI SWB (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 14 December 2010 13:00

This is Volkswagen’s revised 2010 Phaeton, an updated version of the German car company’s luxurious limousine. The Phaeton, along with the (much more successful) Touareg, was key to VW Group overlord Ferdinand Piëch’s plan to move the brand upmarket. A people’s car it ain’t, but then the Phaeton’s never had the kudos to compete head-on with BMW, Merc, Audi and ...

Porsche 911 Speedster (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 25 November 2010 12:45

This is Porsche’s new 911 Speedster, a limited-edition special that pays tribute to the original 356 Speedster. It’s also an open-top follow up to last year’s 911 Sport Classic, a 25th birthday present for Porsche Exclusive (the arm of Porsche that created the Sport Classic and Speedster) and a final hurrah for the current 997-generation 911. More powerful with a ...

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 19 November 2010 17:30

This is the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and it has the potential to be the best all-round 911 yet. An engine upgrade boosts power and torque; it uses the more seductive wide body from the four-wheel drive models; and features a whole host of other options for not much more cash than a standard Carrera S. Yes, we know the ...

Jaguar XJ (2010) in Iceland: the full video

2.5

Ben Pulman, 11 November 2010 09:30

Watch the video of our Icelandic adventure in Jaguar's XJ – click hereIn the current November 2010 issue CAR has taken Jaguar’s glorious XJ limousine to Iceland – it’s a worthy test of the £74,900 long-wheelbase 5.0-litre V8 Portfolio model. Jaguar's new XJ isn't a luxury car that isolates you from your environment, but a sports saloon that really involves the driver. Your ...

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 01 November 2010 16:31

This is the new Lotus Evora S, and with the help of a supercharger, its 3.5-litre V6 has been boosted from the standard Evora’s 276bhp and 252lb ft, to 345bhp and 295lb ft. Enough, Lotus hopes, to shake off criticism that the Evora just isn’t quick enough; it’s that car’s only real fault, so has the extra power turned the ...
