Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (on-road photography by Greg Pajo), 04 January 2012 07:00

This is the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series, a £100k rival for Porsche’s 911 GT3, Maserati’s MC Stradale and BMW’s M3 GTS. The C63 Black has a more powerful 6.2-litre V8, unique motorsport-inspired suspension, and that Black Series badge isn’t just applied to any old hot rod Merc; there have been just three prior Black Series models, with a ...

Mercedes E63 AMG Performance Package (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 08 July 2011 17:00

This is the new Mercedes E63 AMG, the hottest Mercedes E-class. It looks the same, but those 'V8 biturbo' badges on the front wings give the game away: the old naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8 has given way to a new 5.5-litre V8 twin turbo. This makes the E63 the last AMG to get the 5.5 part way through its life ...

Audi R8 LMS (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 26 April 2011 11:05

This is the race version of Audi's R8 V10 and R8 GT supercars, the R8 LMS. Audi scooped a load of silverware in 2009 with these cars and added a class win in the Nurburging 24hrs covered in Phoenix Racing livery. For the 2010 season the Audi R8 LMS was been updated with tweaks to the suspension, gearbox and cooling system. How does ...

Porsche Cayman R PDK (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2011 13:00

CAR's just driven the new Porsche Cayman R, the third addition to Porsche’s mid-engined coupe range to sit above the Cayman and Cayman S. There’s a whole host of weight-saving measures (some welcome, some not), more power, and a serious set of chassis tweaks. It should be the best Porsche Cayman yet – read on for CAR’s first drive review. What ...

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 19 November 2010 17:30

This is the Porsche 911 Carrera GTS, and it has the potential to be the best all-round 911 yet. An engine upgrade boosts power and torque; it uses the more seductive wide body from the four-wheel drive models; and features a whole host of other options for not much more cash than a standard Carrera S. Yes, we know the ...

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 01 November 2010 16:31

This is the new Lotus Evora S, and with the help of a supercharger, its 3.5-litre V6 has been boosted from the standard Evora’s 276bhp and 252lb ft, to 345bhp and 295lb ft. Enough, Lotus hopes, to shake off criticism that the Evora just isn’t quick enough; it’s that car’s only real fault, so has the extra power turned the ...

BMW M3 Competition Package (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 01 September 2010 11:15

The BMW M3 GTS might have been stealing all the headlines recently, but there’s another new M3 around too, the Competition Package-equipped Coupe. Introduced as an option as part of a recent mid-life update, it offers a performance-focussed pack for those who want their E92 M3 to feel a bit more CS, CSL and GTS. But while the Comp Pack ...

VW Scirocco R (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 04 November 2009 00:01

Volkswagen is nudging upmarket with the new 2009 Scirocco R reviewed here – isn't a 263bhp sports coupé treading dangerously close to the toes of inhouse rival the Audi TT? Especially as the VW Scirocco R costs a competitive £26,945, £6500 less than an equivalently powerful TT S.We've just driven the new VW Scirocco R and can deliver our first ...

BMW M3 Coupe Edition (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 12 August 2009 12:25

In the past we’ve had M3 Sport Evos, GTs and CSLs from BMW, all building on already brilliant foundations, all adding a little more petrolhead attitude. But with the E92 generation’s lightweight CSL project long since canned, the M3 Edition is as close as we’ve yet come to an even more desirable M3. What’s the difference between a regualr BMW ...

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Whitworth, 27 June 2008 09:00

It's time to drive the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, some two years after the company threw back the covers hiding its 101EX concept. Back then, no one ever pretended that was anything but a gossamer thin disguise for the upcoming Phantom Coupe. Fast forward 24 months and the first Coupes - running a 453bhp V12 and costing nigh on £300,000 - ...
