McLaren 12C Spider (2012) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 23 November 2012 12:15

As ‘my’ 12C sparkles in the Spanish sunshine it’s at first difficult to establish that this is the Spider. Rivals from Lambo and Audi favour fabric roofs, but, like key competitor Ferrari, the team from Woking has opted for a folding hardtop, so the 12C can be a roadster when the roof is down and look and feel like a ...

Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster (2012) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 26 June 2012 10:24

Unlike Volkswagen, who once wheeled out Le Mans 24 Hours legend Jackie Ickx as their new ambassador at a Jetta launch on the somewhat spurious basis that he, erm, keeps a Caravelle camper van at his home in South Africa, Mercedes-Benz can lay a rather more genuine claim to a working relationship with Stirling Moss. Moss, relentlessly lauded as the ...

Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 15 June 2012 09:25

This is the Bugatti Veyron Vitesse. Or to give it its full name: the Bugatti Veyron 16.4 Grand Sport Vitesse. It’s the ultimate Veyron, mixing the targa-roofed (and reinforced) body of the Grand Sport with the upgraded 1183bhp engine from the world record-breaking Super Sport. It’s yours for £1.6m. 1183bhp? In a convertible Bugatti Veyron? Are you sure? Yes we ...

Mercedes SL63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 09 May 2012 10:44

After a few years on the naturally-aspirated temperance wagon, the AMG-fettled SL V8 is back on the boost, with a downsized twin-turbo engine and all-new aluminium clothes. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive review of the new 2012 Merc SL63 AMG. So the orginal SL55 was powered by a supercharged 5.5, and the outgoing SL63 by a naturally aspirated ...

Jaguar XKR-S Convertible (2012) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 08 February 2012 10:00

This is the Jaguar XKR-S Convertible, a 542bhp drop-top with a £100,000-plus price. A Jaguar XKR-S Convertible? Sounds a bit wrong to me. Can you imagine Porsche doing a GT3 cabrio? No, but then the XKR-S coupe and GT3 are very different cars, whatever the Jag’s fighty face and mighty figures suggest. The Porsche is, was and always will be, a trackday ...

Maserati Grancabrio Sport (2011) CAR review

Anthony ffrench-Constant, 11 October 2011 09:51

Years ago, whilst attending an advertising copywriting course, I recall being warned that any attempt to dub any product ‘The Art of….’ would result in instant dismissal. Happily, I was spared this indignity, shortly thereafter being summarily ousted, instead, for suggesting that the diamond merchants, Prestons of Bolton, might benefit from the strap line: ‘Give her one and she’ll let ...

Bentley Continental GTC (2011) CAR review

Steve Moody, 29 September 2011 10:52

Of all the Bentley cars, the Continental GTC may seem the model that adheres least to the company’s core values. Isn't it more of a Californian sun-drenched wafter, the frivolous, less masculine offering, rather than a British upper-class bruiser like the others? From the outside looking in, it’s a view many hold. But slide behind the wheel of the new 2011 Bentley Continental GTC ...

Aston Martin DB9 Volante (2011) CAR review

2.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 18 May 2011 10:29

I remember it well. A glorious summer’s day, I was still in my 20s and somebody casually threw me the keys to the Aston Martin DB9 Volante parked outside. ‘Try it,’ they said. Then I headed out onto a road I knew well, roof down, firing through the gears with the big paddles that operate the smooth Touchtronic ‘box. I ...

Maserati Gran Cabrio (2011) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 19 April 2011 10:00

Maserati has removed the roof from its handsome Granturismo coupe to create the stunning Maserati Gran Cabrio. Does the Gran Cabrio continue to deliver the intoxicating blend of good looks, GT performance and four-seater space of the Granturismo? Or does the Gran Cabrio's appeal disappear in a riot of scuttle shake and wind buffeting once asked for more than boulevarde cruising? Read on for our ...
