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 ...

Caterham Seven Supersport (2011) CAR review

Jethro Bovingdon, 11 August 2011 10:45

Got £20k? Then this lovely Caterham Seven Supersport can be yours. Okay, it’ll be yours as a pile of bits – it’s £19,995 in kit form, but £22,995 fully built – but a Caterham fanatic might describe it as a bargain. So, it’s a bargain then. Let’s be realistic – what’s so special about this £23k Caterham Seven Supersport? Your average ...

Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible (2011) CAR review

3.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 14 April 2011 09:00

Bentley’s Continental Supersports Convertible takes the flex-fuel, high-performance Supersports specification and applies it to that sun-loving celebrity’s favourite, the Continental GTC convertible. Does the Bentley Continental Supersports Convertible retain the performance and dynamics gains of the coupe, or is this just a cosmetic exercise to attract fresh customers to the portly cabriolet? We sent Jethro Bovingdon to find out. Read on for ...

Ferrari California Stop&Start (2010) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 01 October 2010 07:00

Ferrari has just pulled the wraps off a revised version of the California at the 2010 Paris motor show, but CAR has already been to Italy to test this new model. What’s new about the new Ferrari California? It's the first Ferrari to have stop/start tech, and the new fuel saving system – along with a host of other green tech – was ...

Bugatti Veyron Grand Sport (2009) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton (photography of blue car by Mark Bramley), 22 July 2009 09:21

Good timing with the new Bugatti Grand Sport (2009) hypercar. The polar ice caps are melting and the world’s in the middle of the worst financial crisis since John Steinbeck was still scratching around in the dust bowl looking for a pencil, yet Bugatti manages to gauge the zeitgeist perfectly and unleash a £1.5m convertible supercar that emits 596g/km CO2. ...

Caterham R300 and Roadsport 175 (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Whitworth, 12 June 2009 12:00

Caterhams may all look the same to the uninitiated, but its two latest models – the Roadsport 175 and R300 Superlight couldn’t be more different if they tried. Of course, they’re both insanely fast, deliver more hits of adrenalin per mile than anything else for the money, and stand firmly next to ten on the driver engagement scale, but that’s ...

Lotus 2-Eleven (2009) n/a CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 26 January 2009 11:39

The Government hates the car, and whether that’s true (or whether they just like taxing the motorist), there’s no getting away from the fact that life on the road can be pretty hard. So we need to escape, yet supercars are big and unpractical and out of the reach of almost all of us. Thus the track car came into ...

Porsche Boxster S (2009) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 10 December 2008 09:00

The Porsche Boxster was the car that saved Stuttgart. Near bankruptcy in the early 1990s, Porsche hit upon the idea of creating a cheap sports car, one that would use the front end of the then-new 911 (the 996) to cut costs. Okay, purists might have bemoaned the original Boxster’s dull looks (toned down from the 1993 concept) and the ...

Ferrari California (2009) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 28 November 2008 10:03

It’s not exactly the new Dino some were expecting, but the launch of any new Ferrari is worth getting excited about. Yes, even if, like the new California, it’s poles apart from the brilliant Scuderia.CAR broke new e-turf back at the California launch in October 2008, when we filed a real-time test drive, blogging live from the Sicilian event with ...
