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 ...

Mercedes S320 CDI LWB CAR review

Ben Pulman, 02 June 2008 12:30

The best car Mercedes makes? Surely it’s got to be the S320 CDI. The S-class absolutely dominates its market segment and, according to Merc, nearly 25 percent of all limos sold in the UK are the diesel S320 CDI. That’s absolute hegemony in the car market, and it’s not like there isn’t any opposition from BMW, Audi and Jaguar. But ...

VW Phaeton 3.0 V6 TDI CAR review

Glen Waddington, 19 May 2008 12:16

The Volkswagen Phaeton is overshadowed by the Audi A8 as VAG’s luxury car and, for some, that could be its allure. If you’re interested in space and comfort more than style and glamour, the Volkswagen Phaeton would save you nearly £8000. So tell me, is the Volkswagen Phaeton as dull as it looks? Fair enough, it’s not going to set ...

BMW 730Ld SE CAR review

Glen Waddington, 13 March 2008 12:59

Big sports saloon or limo? Actually, the long-wheelbase BMW 7-series aims towards the genuine limo class. And it's huge. Huge enough to make you wonder if a 3.0-litre turbodiesel could ever be enough to shift you in VIP-style haste. So is the BMW 7-series a great limo to spend time in? From the driving seat you'll soon forget the 'L' ...

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 ...

Lexus LS600h CAR review

Anonymous, 07 August 2007 12:10

Another hi-tech hybrid feast from Lexus? What's on the menu then? Well, if the gadget-laden LS460 isn't quite gadgety enough for you, this green LS hybrid might satisfy your appetite for technology. For a start, it has four-wheel drive, a petrol V8 paired with an electric motor, and an eight-speed continuously variable transmission. It's the full king's banquet. And it's ...
