Audi A8 Hybrid (2012) CAR review

Audi A8 Hybrid (2012) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Steve Moody, 05 April 2012 06:00

Lie back, and think of China. Relaxing in the back of this new Audi A8 Hybrid, amid all the luxurious trappings of smoothed chrome, deep leather and pin sharp sound systems, I ruminated on the likely buyer of this car. Mainly to take my mind off the bloody racket. So what's going on in the new Audi A8 Hybrid? There's ...

Audi S8 (2012) CAR review

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 ...

Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new Fisker Karma. Why has it taken three years ...

Porsche Panamera S (2009) CAR review

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 ...

Mercedes S400 Hybrid (2009) CAR review

Mercedes S400 Hybrid (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 11 May 2009 11:50

Mercedes always strives for its S-class to be at the technological cutting edge, so it must have been pretty miffed when Lexus beat it to market with its S-rivalling, hybrid-powered LS600h. This, then, is Mercedes’ riposte: the S400 Hybrid. Brilliant, an S-class hybrid! When do I get mine? Ah. Yes. Thing is, you won’t, not unless you steer from the ...

Maserati Quattroporte Automatica (2007) CAR review

Maserati Quattroporte Automatica (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 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 ...
