Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2012 09:31

The Porsche Panamera GTS makes all the right noises, feels almost as fast as a Panamera Turbo and is kitted out accordingly. If your budget does not stretch to the Turbo S, this is the Panamera to have. But beware - there is major facelift coming in spring 2013. Porsche Panamera GTS: the background Like the Mk1 Cayenne, the Panamera ...

Audi S8 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 12 October 2011 09:21

This is the new Audi S8, a £80k and 513bhp über-limo Ingolstadt believes will take on Jaguar’s XJ Supersport and Mercedes’ S63 AMG. The new S8 is purposely positioned away from the other circa-500bhp Audi limo, the A8 W12. That other £94.5k Audi limo is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre W12 engine, produces 493bhp and 460lb ft, and comes ...

Ben Pulman, 11 November 2010 09:30

Watch the video of our Icelandic adventure in Jaguar's XJ – click hereIn the current November 2010 issue CAR has taken Jaguar’s glorious XJ limousine to Iceland – it’s a worthy test of the £74,900 long-wheelbase 5.0-litre V8 Portfolio model. Jaguar's new XJ isn't a luxury car that isolates you from your environment, but a sports saloon that really involves the driver. Your ...

Bentley Mulsanne (2010): new CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 28 June 2010 14:48

The new Bentley Mulsanne will cost from £220,000 in the UK, much closer to a Rolls-Royce Ghost than the Phantom. At 5.5m, it’s also closer in size to the 5.4m Ghost than the 5.8m Phantom, but at 2585kg around the same weight as the aluminium Phantom and 150kg heavier than the steel Ghost.Bentley Mulsanne: the numbers gameSuch numbers are useful ...

Aston Martin Rapide (2010): the CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jethro Bovingdon, 12 February 2010 09:00

brightcove.createExperiences(); brightcove.createExperiences(); This is Aston Martin being sensible. Well, relatively sensible. The new 2010 Rapide has four doors and four seats. But don’t fear, it still has a 5.9-litre V12 with 470bhp and will carry four occupants to 188mph. It still looks like an Aston, too. We really can’t think of a better looking four-door on the planet. But that ...

Rolls-Royce Ghost (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton (photography by Mark Fagelson), 10 December 2009 13:54

This is the new Rolls-Royce Ghost, a £192k British-built luxury limo. Find the majestic Rolls-Royce Phantom a bit gauche? Some potential owners do, says Rolls, so the smaller, more demure and slightly more affordable Ghost is the answer. Read on for CAR's verdict on the new Rolls-Royce Ghost. Demure? Surely the whole point of having a Rolls is to make ...

Porsche Panamera Turbo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 28 July 2009 14:30

We’ve already driven the Porsche Panamera S. The comfort oriented, two-wheel drive, normally aspirated version of the new four-seater left us feeling less than infused. Enter the Panamera Turbo, the twin-blown 4.8-litre V8 pinnacle of Porsche’s supercar-cum-limo. Could the £100k Turbo be the Panamera we were hoping for? Behind the wheel of the Panamera Turbo Drop yourself into the Porsche’s ...

Mercedes S63 AMG (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 09 July 2009 17:10

Merc’s sportiest engine gets stuffed into more than two tonnes’ worth of Merc’s biggest, fattest, most luxurious saloon. Madness? Or pure indulgence? The facelifted version – which promises a 3% improvement in fuel consumption and emissions over the outgoing car – arrives here in November, but CAR scored an early drive in a German-plated left-hander. A left-handed, 518bhp, two-tonne limo. ...

Porsche Panamera S (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 24 June 2009 00:01

After months of teaser shots, passenger rides and tantalising details, we’ve finally driven the most anticipated car of the year, the Porsche Panamera. We tested the five-door gran turismo in base-model S trim, meaning rear-wheel drive and a naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 – based on the same unit you’ll find in the Cayenne S and GTS – that churns out ...
