IFR Aspid Supersport (2008) CAR review

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 ...

Caterham Seven Superlight 150 long-term test

the CAR road test team, 31 October 2008 11:45

Long term test update – 31 October 2008. With the days getting darker and the nights longer, I took full advantage of last weekend and washed my Caterham. For me this was a big event – I can’t remember the last time I cleaned a long-term car. But the sun was shining so I went and bought some cheap car ...

Mazda MX-5 2.0 (2009) CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 31 October 2008 11:17

This is Mazda’s new 2009 MX-5 – and in a world exclusive, CAR has driven the facelifted MX-5 seven months ahead of its UK debut to bring you the first road test of what is still the world’s most popular sports car. The news is all good… The facelifted Mazda MX-5 looks pretty much the same. What's new? Visually, the ...

Photo of the day: Ferrari California crossed up

Tim Pollard, 20 October 2008 12:36

Does the new Ferrari California drive like a real Ferrari should? Road test editor Chris Chilton tested the California V8 last week and thought it a brilliantly judged new addition to the Ferrari range (read his review here). But our eyes opened wider when an email landed today with a photo of European correspondent Georg Kacher behind the California's wheel ...

Ferrari California: real-time CAR review blog

Chris Chilton, 15 October 2008 17:03

Bit of a CAR Online experiment here. We're driving the new Ferrari California today and attempting what, as far as we're aware, is the first real-time review of the Cali on the internet. Road test editor Chris Chilton has filed his thoughts electronically from the launch in Sicily to CAR HQ where we've updated this blog minute by minute with ...

Lotus 2-Eleven (2008) CAR review

Nick Trott, 24 September 2008 09:00

The 2-Eleven is the most track-focused road car Lotus has ever built. And we’ve emphasised the ‘road car’ bit because despite the wings and splitters and launch control and racing stripes the Lotus 2-Eleven can be driven to the shops. There is a track-only version that does without lights, a horn, etc. but having driven the 2-Eleven comprehensively on the ...

Ariel Atom3 300 (2008) CAR review

Mark Walton, 24 September 2008 09:00

When it comes to journalists writing road tests, there are so many different uses for the word ‘scary’ I thought I’d better clarify. So, there’s the track car that accelerates so fast it makes you want to vomit (‘ooh, that’s so quick it’s really scary’); there’s the home-made, hand-built British sports car that bucks and kicks like a mule (‘gosh, ...

MG TF LE500 (2008) CAR review

Guy Bird, 29 August 2008 09:38

You can buy a British-made MG again. The TF LE500 – a heavily re-worked special edition of the well-loved original sportscar – is now rolling off Longbridge’s production lines for £16,399, packed with extras like leather seats and iPod compatibility, plus EU4 engine emissions compliancy. The 500-run limited edition is already 80 percent sold and more importantly, it spearheads the start ...

Tesla Roadster CAR review

Ben Oliver, 19 August 2008 09:44

This story about the Tesla Roadster is different, because after years of hype, anticipation and the almost-inevitable delays in production, CAR Online has finally driven one at length, on British roads and in near-production trim. This is a car burdened by expectation; some created by its billing as the world’s first truly green supercar and the first electric car you ...

Mercedes SLK55 AMG CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 14 August 2008 09:32

We like the Mercedes SLK. Since the original was launched back in 1997 its unique combination of premium image, four-season versatility from its folding metal roof and sheer feel-good factor has elevated it to an unassailable position above its BMW, Porsche and Audi rivals. And if the first generation model felt a little soft and lacked real athleticism, the second iteration ...
