Ford FPV Boss 335 GT (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Oliver, 07 May 2012 07:00

Ford’s Australian outpost has built its most powerful car ever: the Ford Performance Vehicles Boss 335 GT. That’s 335 kilowatts, by the way: 450bhp to you and me, from a supercharged five-litre V8 engine shoe-horned into the bodyshell of Ford’s standard, rear-wheel drive Falcon saloon. With a bonnet bulge the size of Uluru and that power output stencilled into its ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 01 October 2007 03:00

So this is the tenth new version of the Evo – why should I still take any notice? Sure, some previous new Evos had differences that only its diehard fans could spot or cared about. Not this time. The Mitsubishi Evo X is new from the wheels up. It reignites the rivalry that has raged on streets and rally stages ...

Ford C-Max H2 ICE (2007) CAR review

Rated 1 out of 51

Ben Oliver, 03 August 2007 09:45

Another hydrogen-powered Focus – what’s the difference between this and the FCV? The H2 ICE stands for hydrogen internal combustion engine. It has the kind of engine you’d recognize - Ford’s global 2.3-litre four-pot, as used in the Mazda 6, among others - but modified to burn hydrogen. Fuel-cell vehicles like the Focus FCV also use hydrogen, but they use ...

Citroen C3 Stop & Start (2007) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Oliver, 26 June 2007 12:21

That’s not the future of green motoring - it’s just a Citroen C3. Don’t be so dismissive. The lengthily titled Citroen C3 1.4i 16v Stop & Start SensoDrive five-door, is very much the present of green motoring, as it carries a smart little innovation that will cut your fuel bills. It could significantly improve city-centre air quality if more manufacturers ...

Nissan Qashqai 2.0 dCi (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 17 January 2007 03:41

What’s this? A hatchback? An off-roader? A mini-MPV? None of the above. It’s a Nissan Qashqai, it replaces the Almera hatchback (if you can remember what that was) and, according to its maker, ‘it completely redefines driving in the modern, urban world’. In fact, it doesn’t, as you can probably guess, but it is the result of some bold thinking ...

BMW Hydrogen 7 (2006) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Oliver, 16 November 2006 09:42

That’s not a green car. It’s a dirty great limo… Yes, it’s a long-wheelbase BMW 7-series with a 6-litre V12 engine. But it runs on liquid hydrogen as well as petrol, emitting virtually no CO2 when it’s burning H2. As hydrogen is one of nature’s most abundant elements, we’re not about to run out. And it’s a proper car: 0-60mph ...

BMW 335d Coupe (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 19 October 2006 09:40

286bhp, 427lb ft and 1570kgs – quite fast, presumably? Oh yes. BMW points out that the new 335d is the most powerful diesel engine it has sold in the UK and the most powerful six-pot diesel in the world. Crammed into a little 3-series - we tested the coupe, but you can order it in the saloon or touring - ...
