Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe (2011) CAR review

Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 27 April 2011 12:00

This is the Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe. Swabian coachbuilder Xenatec is converting the Maybach 57 limousine into the opulent Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe – of which it plans to sell 200 units at £595,000 each, plus tax.  Xenatec Coupes can be serviced at Maybach dealers, and Xenatec matches Maybach's standard warranty. The Xenatec is therefore the closest you can get to an official two-door Maybach. Financial suicide? We've had ...

Porsche 911 Sport Classic (2011) CAR review

Porsche 911 Sport Classic (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 20 April 2011 09:30

Let’s clear one thing up right now before anyone makes a very incorrect assumption. Despite the presence of that evocative ducktail rear spoiler, retro Fuchs-style wheels and a bile-raising reference in the press material to the 911 Sport Classic being the grandson of the legendary 1973 Carrera RS 2.7, the two are distant cousins at best. The Carrera RS was ...

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale (2011) CAR review

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 31 March 2011 12:00

Maserati has taken 110kg out of the Maserati Granturismo S to create the racing-inspired MC Stradale. But although the optional roll cage, significant weight reduction, more powerful engine and higher price tag seemingly puts the MC Stradale on par with the Porsche 911 GT3, Maserati is adamant that its new stripped-out coupe is still a comfortable, everyday car. Read on ...

Aston Martin V8 Vantage S (2011) CAR review

Aston Martin V8 Vantage S (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 11 March 2011 00:01

This is the latest baby Aston – the delectable Vantage S. It should look very familiar to you and underneath the handsome skin Darwinian evolution is the order of the day, too. The now-familiar 4.7-litre V8 now has 430bhp (up 10bhp) and 361lb ft (up 15lb) thanks to improved breathing and more accurate spark ignition. A new exhaust system is ...

BMW 760Li (2009) new CAR review

BMW 760Li (2009) new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Greg Fountain, 27 July 2009 10:01

Of the many things we have to thank the Chinese for, this brand new BMW V12 engine is perhaps the most surprising. No, the unit wasn’t built in Beijing, it’s just that were it not for China’s insatiable taste for tasty limos you surely wouldn’t be reading this. A quarter of all the V12-powered BMWs built since 2002 ply their ...

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (2007) CAR review

Alfa Romeo 8C Competizione (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Gavin Green, 17 October 2007 03:15

The 8C Competizione? Always thought it was just a concept vehicle. Is it now a proper production car? Well it’s certainly about to go on sale – for a mere £111,000. Alfa is only going to make 500. And just 41 will come to the UK, the first of which arrives on our shores in January. The ‘production’ car is ...

Mercedes CL65 AMG (2007) CAR review

Mercedes CL65 AMG (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 22 May 2007 12:03

Looks like a bit of a beast. Is this another warp-enabled starship from AMG? Yep. This is Mercedes’ big CL-class coupe fitted with AMG’s ballistic 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo engine and a bunch of go-faster, look-smarter goodies. It’s also the flagship model in the AMG range, which makes it the quickest and costliest Mercedes this side of the SLR. And speaking ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review

Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 16 May 2007 01:46

Black Series? Sounds posh and a little edgy. What's all that about then? AMG groups its cars into five divisions. The Black Series machines are second only to the borderline psychotic and super-expensive Signature Series (i.e. CLK DTM) cars in the line-up. Black Series cars are stripped out, track focused and expensive (just like the Signature Series cars then) and ...

Ferrari 612 HGT-S (2006) CAR review

Ferrari 612 HGT-S (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

James Foxall, 26 December 2006 09:30

Hasn’t the 612 Scaglietti been around for a while? Yes it has. It was launched in 2004, but Ferrari has just revealed a special HGT-S pack for it. It costs a steep £7420, but that’s fairly insignificant given that the standard car already costs £175,725. And when you appreciate what the extra money buys it starts to make more sense. ...

Mercedes CL63 (2006) AMG CAR review

Mercedes CL63 (2006) AMG CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 05 October 2006 09:33

Another Mercedes AMG model – is there no stopping these power-crazed Germans? Yes, another AMG, and no, there’s no stopping them. Not that we're complaining. When the CL63 AMG arrives here next March it will be the thirteenth model in the AMG line-up (the S63, which we’ll report on next week, is the fourteenth) and frankly, it's bloody marvellous. Muscular ...
