Porsche 911 Carrera S (2012) riding with Rohrl

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Tim Pollard, 22 September 2011 10:41

There's a special treat for Porschephiles in the new October 2011 issue of CAR Magazine: we've nabbed the first ride in the new 991-spec Porsche 911 - alongside rally ace Walter Rohrl. The new 911 is one of the highlights of 2012, and our European correspondent Georg Kacher spent two days riding shotgun with Rohrl around Alpine passes in the ...

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 ...

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 15 April 2011 07:00

Let me declare an interest. I have a serious fixation with the Porsche Cayman. Forget your 911s or supercars – the Cayman is what I trot out when I’m often asked what is my dream car. I just struggle to see how I’d want more power, more speed, more handling delicacy – or expense – in my life than the ...

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 20 October 2010 09:10

Cadillac is a minute player in Europe. Joe Bloggs in Kensington High Street won’t understand it’s GM’s posh brand in the States – but cars like the new CTS Coupe might shift expectation somewhat. That’s why GM is relaunching Cadillac in Europe – and this distinctive coupe is spearheading the fightback. Don’t underestimate that total lack of brand awareness. Cadillac ...

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. ...

Maserati Granturismo S Automatic (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 09 May 2009 09:16

Maserati’s Granturismo has always tugged at our heartstrings, but it’s been hamstrung by an incomplete line-up of engines and transmissions. Not any more. We’ve just driven the final model to complete the Granturismo range – the new S Automatic. That means the marriage of the enlarged 4.7-litre V8 to the full torque converter auto gearbox.What it does at a stroke ...

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 ...

Audi S5 7-speed S-tronic (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 03 June 2008 15:30

Audi has just about the most bewildering array of transmissions of any car maker – and it’s about to get more confusing, with the launch of a twin-clutch version of the S5 coupe. We’ve just driven the seven-speed S tronic S5 to bring you this first CAR review. Across its burgeoning range, Ingolstadt now offers manual transmissions, Tiptronic automatics, CVT ...
