BMW 750iL (2009) CAR review

Greg Fountain, 05 January 2009 09:00

This is the BMW 7-series for people who think a 740i is a bit slack. And also for people who think the 740i is a bit too short. If you happen to be a chauffeur or a chauffeur’s employer the prospect of 140 extra millimetres of legroom in the back is no doubt deal-breakingly exciting, but for the rest of ...

Bentley Flying Spur Speed (2008) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 06 November 2008 12:23

Bentley has given its monstrously quick but vaguely anonymous Flying Spur a mild facelift and introduced the aptly entitled Speed go-faster pack to further distance itself from top-end V12-powered Mercedes, BMW and Audi models. What’s been done to the base Bentley Flying Spur model? What should have been done when it was launched in 2005, to be blunt. An extensive ...

CAR's great drives: Destination Budapest! Part 2

Ian Fraser, 28 August 2008 17:00

Destination Budapest! continued... Click here to read Destination Budapest! Part 1. We rejoin Ian Fraser as Team CAR is heading deep into eastern Europe – driving the Jaguar XJC behind the Iron Curtain After our easygoing relationship with the guards on the German/Austrian border, arriving in Hungary was more like the entrance to a high-security prison than to a country. ...

CAR's great drives: Destination Budapest! Part 1

Ian Fraser, 28 August 2008 17:00

Ian Fraser wrote Destination Budapest! – another of CAR's seminal drive stories, published in August 1977. We drove a Jaguar XJC down the Danube and behind the Iron Curtain, in the days before the Berlin Wall had tumbled. Read the full unabridged story over the next few pages at CAR Online Although the boundaries are different, Rudyard Kipling’s belief that ...

BMW 740i (2009) CAR review

Richard Aucock, 28 July 2008 08:58

We've just been behind the wheel of BMW's new 7-series, at the company's Miramas test base. And while this 7-series might be a taped-up pre-production car, it's all but ready. So we've taken the unusual step of driving a car before its official launch to see if the promised tech fest is worth waiting for ahead of its November 2008 ...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S CAR review

Anonymous, 12 November 2007 01:56

Maserati model names confuse me. What’s this Sport GT S all about? According to chief engineer Paul Fickers, it’s the car the Quattroporte always should have been. There are six Quattroporte variants – three with a semi-auto, three with a full auto – and it’s the ‘proper’ auto Sport GT S that’s expected to now form the majority of sales. ...

Audi A8 2.8 V6 facelift CAR review

Anonymous, 03 September 2007 09:09

I'm sorry, did you say this was a mid-life facelift for Audi's luxury A8? Fair enough – the cosmetic changes aren't that exciting. In fact, they're really rather difficult to spot, being limited to some new front grille colours, re-arranged LEDs in the tail-lights, and new LED indicator strips in the door mirrors. Plus a different alloy wheel or two ...

Maybach 62S CAR review

Anonymous, 13 February 2007 09:21

What’s this – more power for the plutocrats? In a word, yes. The £341,585 Maybach 62S - the S stands for Special, should you be wondering – gets the same mighty 6.0-litre twin turbo V12 as last year’s 52S, which dishes up a barely believable 612bhp at a very low 4800rpm. The torque figure is even more impressive – between ...

Maserati Quattroporte Automatica CAR review

Anonymous, 19 January 2007 11:30

An auto box in a big luxury saloon? That’s hardly news… It is for Maserati. To mark the Quattroporte out as a very different, more sporting proposition to its mainly German rivals, it has only been offered with the Duo Select automated manual until now. Although it has an auto mode, it still uses a clutch and will never be ...

Mercedes S63 AMG CAR review

Anonymous, 10 October 2006 09:43

Hang on a tick – didn’t you drive this last week? No, that was the CL63, the coupe version of the S-class driven here. But I can understand your confusion. Mercedes has just taken the wraps off two of its mighty AMG cars in quick succession. Both big, bold, brisk and terrifically composed. The S63, which arrives here next March ...
