Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 18 April 2012 09:39

This is the new S6 Quattro saloon, Audi’s rival to the BMW 550i and Jaguar XF V8. It costs £53,995, comes only with Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and serves up 414bhp and 406lb ft. That’s a V10 under the 2012 Audi S6's bonnet, isn’t it? No. The previous Audi S6 did come with a V10, but ...

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Toyota GT86 coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 28 October 2011 10:55

On 20 May 2011, CAR was allowed behind the wheel of a Toyota FT-86 development mule to get our own driving impressions and to give feedback to Toyota’s engineers during a secretive test session in Germany. Now, as the car is about to be unveiled at the 2011 Tokyo motor show - badged GT86 - it’s time to reveal all. This was ...

Nissan GT-R (2011) CAR review

Nissan GT-R (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 15 March 2011 10:30

When the R35-spec Nissan GT-R first appeared in 2007 it stunned the automotive world, notching up easy victories against the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo in comparison tests, and posting incredible Nurburgring lap times. Now Nissan claims it has 'enhanced' the GT-R for 2011, so just how much better has it become? Read on for CAR's review of the new Nissan GT-R. What's changed ...

BMW 135i Performance Pack (2009) CAR review

BMW 135i Performance Pack (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 21 August 2009 09:30

Sporty BMWs and aftermarket add-ons go hand-in-hand. Some AC Schnitzer aluminium pedals for your M3, perhaps? A set of Hartge rims? Maybe even a Dinan supercharger kit? Now BMW has decided to tap this lucrative niche, offering the BMW Performance line of exterior and interior accessories for the 1- and 3-series. Here we drive the firm’s fully loaded 135i demo. ...

BMW M6 (2008) CAR review

BMW M6 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 31 December 2008 14:11

It might be hard to imagine, but back when the BMW M6 was launched in 2005, CAR Online wasn’t actually around. Hence the BMW M6 not being previously reviewed on this site. But in the name of being comprehensive – and for the sake of driving what’s sure to be an epic car – we thought we’d right that wrong. ...

Hyundai Genesis Coupe (2008) CAR review and video

Hyundai Genesis Coupe (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 24 October 2008 09:00

CAR Online has just driven Hyundai’s new rear-wheel drive Genesis Coupe. And it’s good. Very, very good. Hyundai hasn’t yet committed to bringing the car to the UK, but our first drive confirms that – like Barack Obama and the US – the Genesis Coupe would be a transformational character for Hyundai. CAR getting hot under the collar about a Korean ...

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe (2008) CAR review

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 22 May 2008 16:57

It might look exactly the same, but there's a new 4.7-litre V8 in this Aston Martin Vantage. The suspension, steering, interior and transmission  of the V8 Vantage has also been significantly revised. The revisions push the V8 Vantage’s price from £83,000 to £85,000. This new Aston Martin V8 Vantage still looks the same to me. If you’ve already got a ...

Maserati Granturismo S (2008) CAR review

Maserati Granturismo S (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 15 May 2008 10:22

With 433bhp, the Maserati Granturismo S is the most powerful production Maserati ever built, limited-edition MC12 not included. Shown at the Geneva show a year on from the original Granturismo unveil and launched at Maser’s Modena HQ yesterday, it promises to set right the base car’s biggest flaw: that it doesn’t have enough power. The S is expected to account ...

Infiniti G37 Coupe Sport (2007) CAR review

Infiniti G37 Coupe Sport (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 27 September 2007 09:36

An Infiniti G37? Isn’t that just a posh Nissan 350Z? Yes and no. A lot of the G37’s basics are 350Z-derived, but this is far more than just badge engineering – the Infiniti is a very different beast to the Nissan it’s based on. But to fully understand this car, first we need some context. In America, Infiniti is Nissan’s ...

Audi TT 2.0T S-Tronic (2006) CAR review

Audi TT 2.0T S-Tronic (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 31 October 2006 01:18

Haven’t you driven the TT? We’ve already tested the 3.2-litre four-wheel drive Audi TT, but this car’s the cut-price sibling: a front-wheel drive, 2.0-litre turbo which, at £24,625, undercuts its big brother by nearly £5000. The two cars look virtually identical both inside and out. So if 197bhp sounds like plenty and all-weather grip isn’t a priority, the 2.0-litre could ...
