Ginetta G60 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jethro Bovingdon, 21 October 2011 09:00

On paper the new Ginetta G60 looks likely to be a bit of a disaster: it’s had a painful birth, morphing from Farboud to Farbio to Ginetta over an agonising decade or so; it has a humble Ford V6 with just 310bhp under its exotic carbonfibre skin and yet looks to compete with a car as complete and sophisticated as ...

KTM X-Bow R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Tim Pollard, 06 July 2011 10:30

It’s three years since bike manufacturer KTM branched out into cars, launching the X-Bow at the 2008 Geneva motor show. More than 500 brave drivers have been found to buy the X-Bow, ensuring the project has survived the recession and brought further evolution. Which brings us to this: the 2011 X-Bow R, an even faster version of the sports car. ...

Porsche Panamera V6 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 10 June 2011 09:00

Porsche's Panamera is the entry-level model in Porsche's five-door GT range. Fitted with a 3.6-litre V6 engine, the basic Panamera begs a significant question: without the massive performance or four-wheel drive, does the Panamera's four-seater practicality overwhelm the controversial looks? Read on for out test of the Porsche Panamera V6 to find out... Porsche Panamera V6: the Porsche family car? ...

BMW Alpina B5 (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Greg Fountain, 21 April 2011 09:20

BMW Alpina has produced its latest B5 Biturbo, based on the F10 5-series. Now that BMW is moving to twin-turbo V8 power for the next M5, has BMW Alpina stolen a march on its factory rivals at BMW M? Or is the BMW Alpina B5 Biturbo unlikely to threaten the default fast BMW saloon?  Read on for our first drive review ...

Nissan GT-R (2011) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Barry, 15 March 2011 10:30

When the R35-spec Nissan GT-R first appeared in 2007 it stunned the automotive world, notching up easy victories against the likes of the Porsche 911 Turbo in comparison tests, and posting incredible Nurburgring lap times. Now Nissan claims it has 'enhanced' the GT-R for 2011, so just how much better has it become? Read on for CAR's review of the new Nissan GT-R. What's changed ...

Cadillac CTS-V Coupe (2010) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 20 October 2010 09:10

Cadillac is a minute player in Europe. Joe Bloggs in Kensington High Street won’t understand it’s GM’s posh brand in the States – but cars like the new CTS Coupe might shift expectation somewhat. That’s why GM is relaunching Cadillac in Europe – and this distinctive coupe is spearheading the fightback. Don’t underestimate that total lack of brand awareness. Cadillac ...

Range Rover Sport 5.0 Supercharged (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 18 August 2009 09:00

If you’re a regular CAR Online visitor, you may already have read Ben Pulman’s report on the newly revised Range Rover Sport TDV6. So I’ll keep the news about the Sport’s general upgrades brief and concentrate on the headline news about this model: its new 5.0-litre supercharged V8. Thought that might prick up your ears. Does this new supercharged Range ...

Mercedes E63 AMG (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 05 July 2009 00:01

The new E63 is Merc’s AMG-powered middleweight and follows a tried and tested plan: big V8 + sober saloon = autobahn domination. Well that’s the theory, and this is the reality. So this week it’s the E-class’ turn to have a go with the 6.2-litre V8? Yes, Mercedes likes to spread the bhp love around and so it’s no surprise ...

BMW 750iL (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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 ...

BMW M5 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 29 July 2008 13:05

The E60 BMW M5 is the fourth-generation M5 and, at £65,890, the third-most expensive car in the M-Division range – sitting below  the M6 Coupe/Convertible but above the M3 Coupe/Saloon/Convertible and M Coupe/Roadster. How does it drive? Brilliantly. It’s comfortable, extremely fast and sure-footed but playful. If anything lets it down, it’s the unnecessary gadgetry – but we’ll get to that later. ...
