Bentley Continental GT Speed (2013) review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Steve Moody, 28 January 2013 10:24

Driving the new 205mph Bentley Continental GT Speed around Thruxton, Britain’s fastest racetrack: now that’s a day out you look forward to. After all, this fastest-ever (roadgoing) twin turbocharged, W12 Bentley has 616bhp, up from 567bhp the standard W12. It does the 0-62mph sprint in four seconds, and the lap record around the gentle rolling straights of Thruxton was set ...

BMW M6 Coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 14 November 2012 12:15

BMW has downsized the new M6 – but the good news is that less means more. As with last year’s M5 super-saloon, the charismatic F1-derived 5.0-litre V10 has been replaced with a more mainstream 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. In the process, though, fuel economy has been improved by 30 percent, and power increased by 10 percent to 552bhp. The new V8’s ...

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jethro Bovingdon, 01 July 2011 09:42

If you’re one of those people who think that Porsche should have given up on the 911 formula years ago – despite the gazillions of race victories and countless great road iterations that prove you’re wrong – then the GT3 RS 4.0 is just another refinement of a flawed concept. However, for those of us who are in on the ...

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

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Porsche 911 GT2 RS (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 22 December 2010 09:00

This is the Porsche 911 GT2 RS, not just the most powerful 911 that Porsche has ever built, but also the company's most powerful road car period. It has 611bhp from its twin-turbocharged 3.6-litre flat six, and for the facelifted 997 911 Porsche hasn’t bothered building a regular GT2 but skipped straight to this RS-spec car. It costs £100k more ...

Bentley Continental Supersports (2009) first ride review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 07 July 2009 09:14

At the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed, CAR was granted a passenger ride up the hill in the new light(er) weight Bentley Continental Supersports. It’s the new biofuel Bentley – the most powerful road car ever to roll out of Crewe’s gates is also the cleanest. And the driver of our E85 eco saintly sports car? One Derek Bell Esq. ...

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 ...
