Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

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 1-series M Coupe (2011) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 28 April 2011 10:00

This is the new BMW 1-series M Coupe, and it signals a significant departure for BMW’s famed M Division. After generations of high-revving, naturally aspirated engines, BMW M is being forced down the forced induction route in a bid to produce more fuel efficient cars. The forthcoming M5 has a twin-turbo V8, the next-gen M3 will feature a blown six-cylinder ...

Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe (2011) CAR review

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 ...

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale (2011) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

BMW 1-series M Coupe prototype (2011) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 16 December 2010 11:30

This is BMW's latest M car, the 1-series M Coupé. When it hits UK roads in May 2011, the 1-series M Coupé will go head-to-head with the new Audi RS3. Both produce 335bhp and 332lb ft of torque, have a sub-five second 0-62mph time and cost less than £40,000. We've driven a late prototype here. Read on for CAR Magazine's first drive ...

Audi A7 3.0 TDI SE (2010) CAR review

3.5

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 ...

Audi S5 (2007) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 26 April 2007 01:20

Have I missed something? How can we be reading about an S5 when we haven't even had an A5? Because Audi knew BMW was going to launch its M3 this spring and wanted to spoil the Munich firm's thunder. So it decided to launch both the A5 and its hot 354bhp S5 spin-off at the same time. The £39,725 S5 ...

Mercedes CL600 (2006) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 13 September 2006 11:54

Who would buy a CL when they could have an S-class or, more likely, an SL? You’d be surprised just how many people have fallen for the blend of S-class refinement, seating for four and a sharper package. Merc has shipped 46,800 of the knife-edged old-shape CL since 1999; only the chunky 80’s SEC did better, at 74,000. Doesn’t look ...
