Audi RS4 Avant (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 08 August 2012 11:32

The old RS2 – based on the Audi 80 and co-developed by Porsche –  was such a big deal, in fact, that you could be forgiven for wondering how far we’ve actually come in arriving at 2012’s RS4. A 0.1sec improvement in 0-62mph acceleration and a 11mph gain in top speed (if the RS4 is unlimited)? At a glance, that’s ...

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Ebbs, 25 June 2012 11:25

In this time of austerity and spiralling running costs, what could be more apt than a 6.4-litre V8 premium off-roader? Well, Jeep’s Street and Racing Technology branch has stuck two fingers up at the penny pinchers with its latest rival to the Ranger Rover Sport and Porsche Cayenne: time to review the new 2012 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT. Jeep Grand ...

Lotus Exige S (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 25 April 2012 00:01

Lotus stopped building the four-cylinder Exige a little while back, but the name returns with this, the new 2012 Exige S. It uses the old Exige’s basic tub and centre section, but combines it with new front bodywork and – the big news – a supercharged V6 from the Evora S that’s shrouded in all-new rear bodywork. What does the ...

Audi S6 Quattro (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 18 April 2012 09:39

This is the new S6 Quattro saloon, Audi’s rival to the BMW 550i and Jaguar XF V8. It costs £53,995, comes only with Quattro all-wheel drive and a seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and serves up 414bhp and 406lb ft. That’s a V10 under the 2012 Audi S6's bonnet, isn’t it? No. The previous Audi S6 did come with a V10, but ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 05 August 2011 09:00

First, some history. AMG has been updating and upgrading mid-size two-door Mercs for much longer thank you might think. The go-faster business began in the late 1970s with the W123 range – it came in three different AMG tuning stages, from the humble 2.3-litre four, past a 2.8-litre six, to the mighty 5.0-litre V8. However, it was not until 2001 that AMG stopped ...

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 15 April 2011 07:00

Let me declare an interest. I have a serious fixation with the Porsche Cayman. Forget your 911s or supercars – the Cayman is what I trot out when I’m often asked what is my dream car. I just struggle to see how I’d want more power, more speed, more handling delicacy – or expense – in my life than the ...

Lexus IS-F (2010) new CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 18 October 2010 09:33

Now here’s a leftfield choice if ever there was one. The Lexus IS-F is a pleasingly alternative performance saloon and one that’s consequently rare as hen’s teeth viewed alongside the BMW M3, Mercedes C63 AMG and Audi (R)S4 set. Is its scarcity justified? We've just driven the 2010 IS-F ahead of a modest facelift for the 2011 model year. Cosmetically, ...
