Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Bentley Azure (CAR Magazine, May 2007: Bentley to Arctic Circle)

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Oliver, 19 June 2012 10:01

Not gonna crash this car. I am not going to crash this car. I am not going to have my most expensive and probably final accident at 30 bloody miles per hour. But not having the accident is easier said than done when I’m 200 miles north of the Arctic Circle, three days and 1200 miles into the craziest road ...

Bentley Continental GTC (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

KTM X-Bow R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 06 July 2011 10:30

It’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. ...

Maserati Gran Cabrio (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Lotus Elise (2010) first drive CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 19 April 2010 09:24

You’ll struggle to spot the difference, but this is the third-generation 2010-spec Lotus Elise. The basic chassis, brakes and dimensions remain unchanged, but the styling is subtly tweaked (the headlights are the stand-out change, but many of the panels are gently finessed) and the base model now has a 1.6-litre Toyota-sourced engine located amidships and a six-speed gearbox to replace ...

Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry (photography by Mark Fagelson), 20 July 2009 09:47

This is the Ferrari F430’s swansong, the Scuderia Spider 16M. Just 499 will be produced to celebrate Ferrari’s 16 Formula One constructors’ championships, hence the 16M bit in the name. Its underpinnings are familiar from the Ferrari Scuderia coupé we first drove in 2007, but the roof’s come down and the price has gone up – by around £30k to ...

Alfa Romeo 8C Spider (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 17 July 2009 09:09

If you were disappointed at having missed out on one of Alfa’s 500 8C Competizione coupés, here’s more bad news: you’ve missed out on the Alfa Romeo 8C Spider too. Another 500 will be made, with 35 coming to the UK, but they’ve all been reserved. Then again, you might be relieved at having missed out when you see the ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test review

Rated 4 out of 54

the CAR road test team, 28 April 2009 09:00

Long-term test update - 28 April 2009 Bike versus car you say? CAR's Caterham Seven versus a Yamaha R6? The difference is huge, even with a car as extreme and stripped-down as the Caterham. That gulf is down to feel. On the edge, on cool, wet roads, riding the bike is about treading the fine line between slip and grip. ...

IFR Aspid Supersport (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Dan Trent, 12 November 2008 09:28

The IFR Aspid Supersport? Just where the hell did that thing land from? Well, Spain as it happens. Specifically just outside Barcelona and the twisted imagination of a gang of ex-rally engineers who decided a mad-looking, open-wheeled carbonfibre rocket is the perfect tool for demonstrating their mastery of high tech engineering. So it’s not just a tarted-up, overpriced Spanish Caterham ...
