Audi A7 3.0 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Audi A7 3.0 TFSI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Richard Jones, 30 November 2010 14:57

Audi says 90% of European buyers will take their A7s with diesel power. So what’s on offer for those who want to think out of the box? We try the supercharged 3.0 TFSi petrol version to find out. Quick recap please – what is the A7 exactly? It's Ingolstadt’s answer to the Mercedes CLS, a luxury saloon that desperately wants ...

Audi A7 3.0 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Audi A7 3.0 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 13 September 2010 14:47

So what exactly is the new Audi A7? It’s Audi’s answer to the Mercedes CLS, a luxury saloon that thinks it’s a coupé. Unlike the CLS, but like the Porsche Panamera, Aston Rapide and BMW 5-series GT, the Audi has an opening hatch instead of a saloon boot. Think A5 Sportback but on a bigger scale. So it’s a re-imagined ...

Mercedes E500 Coupé (2009) CAR review

Mercedes E500 Coupé (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 21 July 2009 09:30

It’s a two-door E-class – or is it? It’s a 5.0-litre – or is it? Well, E500’s a bit of a misnomer, because this is actually a 5.5-litre V8, and the underpinnings come from the C-class. Should make for an agile, powerful mile-eater then. Let’s see how the new E-class Coupé stacks up on the road. Er, 382bhp and the ...

Audi TT RS Coupe (2009) CAR review

Audi TT RS Coupe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 24 June 2009 12:30

Audi doesn’t make many RS-badged cars. Since 1992 it has only applied them to five high-performance, low-volume models: the original RS2 estate, and two versions each of the RS4 and RS6. Each had a monstrous engine shoe-horned into a saloon or estate body, and made BMW’s M-cars and Mercedes-Benz’s AMGs look pretty common by comparison. So any new RS model ...

Lotus Evora (2009): the new CAR review

Lotus Evora (2009): the new CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 12 May 2009 09:00

So Lotus is rinsing out another Elise variant, eh? No, the Evora really is new, the first all-new Lotus for nearly 15 years in fact. It’s built to take on the likes of the Porsche Cayman and 911 and slots into the Lotus range above the Elise and below the forthcoming Esprit. You might have read our innovative, real-time test drive ...

Lexus RX450h (2009) CAR review

Lexus RX450h (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 01 May 2009 11:30

The new Lexus RX450h boasts some figures so staggering that even if you’re a diehard opponent of hybrids, crossovers, and particularly cars like this that combine the two, you’re going to have to take notice. Compared to the car it replaces, power is up 10% to 295bhp, but fuel economy improves by 23% to 44.8mpg and CO2 emissions fall from ...

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 04 December 2008 12:30

The Porsche Cayman should have been a failure. The first pictures showed an ugly and ungainly coupe tottering on tiny 17-inch wheels, it cost a few grand more than its cheaper-to-build Boxster sibling and it should have always been overshadowed by its 911 big brother. But that never happened. Even though Porsche was clearly trying to reign the Cayman back, all but ...

Audi S5 7-speed S-tronic (2008) CAR review

Audi S5 7-speed S-tronic (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2008 15:30

Audi has just about the most bewildering array of transmissions of any car maker – and it’s about to get more confusing, with the launch of a twin-clutch version of the S5 coupe. We’ve just driven the seven-speed S tronic S5 to bring you this first CAR review. Across its burgeoning range, Ingolstadt now offers manual transmissions, Tiptronic automatics, CVT ...

BMW Z4 M Coupe (2006) CAR review

BMW Z4 M Coupe (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jon Smith, 31 July 2006 04:16

There's been a lot of talk about this being the reincarnation of the True, it's a lot less confrontational in its appearance than the 'bread van' original, but this Z4-based coupé follows the same formula: fixed hard roof, more power, and more serious suspension and steering settings. Why tone down the styling this time? Well, BMW likes selling cars: only ...

Porsche Cayman S (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 24 July 2006 05:21

Ahh, the Porsche Boxster coupe. Yes, it's been a long time coming but I think Porsche would rather you didn't mention the B word if you don't mind - just in case people start questioning why the Cayman S costs £4k more than a Boxster S. What? I thought coupes were supposed to be cheaper than convertibles, what with having ...
