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 ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 05 August 2011 09:00

First, some history. AMG has been updating and upgrading mid-size two-door Mercs for much longer thank you might think. The go-faster business began in the late 1970s with the W123 range – it came in three different AMG tuning stages, from the humble 2.3-litre four, past a 2.8-litre six, to the mighty 5.0-litre V8. However, it was not until 2001 that AMG stopped ...

BMW 640i Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 14 July 2011 11:08

Hardened BMW fans (I’d put myself under that umbrella) might still be coming to terms with cars like the X6 and X1, but huge sales figures render our furrowed brows rather irrelevant. Even so, it’s nice to be reporting on a niche BMW that’s not a quasi off-roader. In fact the new 6-Series should keep traditionalists very happy. Based on ...

Lotus Evora IPS auto (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 22 June 2011 12:00

The new Lotus Evora IPS has a very simple mission in life. New Lotus management are busy patching up their product range to expand Hethel’s footprint around the world – and much of the world prefers their cars to be automatics. Buyers in America and Asia, in particular, are likely to pick the two-pedal option, and Lotus predicts the new ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Coupe (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 11 March 2009 00:01

We've always liked the Jaguar XK at CAR Towers. Those Callum curves, that lightweight aluminium build, the effortless performance... To be honest, there wasn't much wrong with the outgoing XK sports cars, so we were anxious to make sure the new, facelifted-for-2010 coupe and roadster didn't meddle with a winning formula. Now we've driven the new XK coupe, complete with ...

Farbio GTS (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Dan Trent, 12 February 2008 10:44

The Farbio GTS is a dream come true. Whether childhood doodlings or merely idle musing, who among us hasn’t harboured dreams of building the ultimate supercar. It would have 2000bhp! Eight turbos! Afterburners! Every now and then someone has a go. Most fail. Credit due to Arash Farboud – he did at least build his for real. His eponymously monikered ...

BMW 635d (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Richard Aucock, 30 October 2007 09:00

A 635d? Hmm, potentially an interesting combo… Indeed. Mating the excellent twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel to BMW’s mildly-facelifted 6-Series Coupe and Cabriolet, creating (they say) the world’s first diesel GT 2+2, is something we’ve been anticipating with intrigue. The 282bhp unit has the same power as an ‘80s M 635 CSi, yet the 427lb ft of torque is over 10 percent ...
