Ben Pulman, 30 January 2012 09:00

This is the huge Volkswagen Group’s smallest hot hatch, the VW Up GT. First unveiled as a concept car at the 2011 Frankfurt motor show, CAR has just driven a prototype version of the 108bhp baby GTI. Click here for more news and details of the regular Volkswagen Up. How does a VW Up become a VW Up GT? At the moment ...

Audi RS3 Sportback (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 17 February 2011 09:00

This is the Audi RS3 Sportback, a near-£40k hot hatch with 335bhp, four-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox. It’s the smallest, cheapest RS model ever produced by Quattro GmbH, and is a final hurrah for the A3 with a new model just around the corner. Can it combine S3 Sportback practicality with TT RS attitude? Read on for CAR’s first ...

Honda Civic Type R Mugen (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 21 October 2009 10:00

The Honda Civic Type R Mugen is going into production. Yes, it might have been the worst kept secret in the world, but now Honda and Mugen have officially announced that they will produce a limited number of tuned and tweaked Euro-spec Civic Type Rs for the UK. Just 20 will be made, each will cost £38,599, and if you ...

Seat Leon Cupra R (2009) CAR review

Seat Leon Cupra R (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 16 October 2009 14:20

The new Seat Leon Cupra R is the Spanish manufacturer’s most powerful production model ever, packing 261bhp from its turbocharged 2.0-litre engine. And just how has Seat squeezed 261bhp into the Leon Cupra R? The R has the same turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine found in the 237bhp Leon Cupra, but over and above it the R gets a revised ECU, ...

Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup (2009) CAR review

Renaultsport Twingo 133 Cup (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 05 October 2009 11:45

Renaultsport does a rather fine line in hot hatches. The outgoing R26R is amazing, the Clio 200 is brilliant, and we’re all fans of the tiny Twingo 133. And now there’s a new Renaultsport Twingo 133, the Cup. But I can already spec a Cup chassis on the Renaultsport Twingo 133, so what’s new? Pen and paper at the ready, ...

Ford Focus ST (2008) CAR review

Ford Focus ST (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 06 May 2008 16:00

The Ford Focus ST is back, and the good news is that alongside new looks inside and out, the excellent dynamics remain unchanged. Ford has spent the mid-life nip/tuck money freshening up the visuals and left the chassis and engine alone. That means the Focus ST still comes with a characterful turbocharged 2.5-litre five-pot producing 222bhp. Think of the Ford Focus ...
