Range Rover Sport prototype (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Oliver, 02 May 2013 13:30

Our first chance to drive the new Range Rover Sport has come sooner than we might have expected. It had its world debut at the New York auto show a month ago, yet here we are in the UK at Land Rover's Gaydon test track, looking at a prototype with its driver's door open and engine running. While we'd reiterate ...

Used supercars: buying a Porsche 996 Turbo

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 March 2013 10:50

Performance bargain of the moment? Only the current glut of £7k E46 M3s can possibly stand between a £20k 996 Turbo and that accolade. Because this is an extraordinary amount of car for the money, the one supercar that doesn’t require ownership of another car in case the weather’s not right, or you’re too tired, or are worried about parking, or ...

Nissan GT-R Track Pack (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 24 May 2012 08:59

This is the Nissan GT-R Track Pack, a stripped-down, pumped-up Japanese coupe with designs on the 911 GT3. A GT-R GT3? Isn’t what the Spec V was all about. The GT-R Spec V was certainly the hardcore GT-R, but it was also obscenely expensive – double the price of the standard car. The Track Pack only costs around £10k extra but still ...

Mercedes SL500 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 07 March 2012 12:15

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SL, only the sixth SL generation to launch in six decades. And because they don’t release one very often, you can typically expect a new SL to mark a giant leap on from the last one. This new Mercedes SL (codenamed R231) is no exception. What are the key changes to this new sixth-generation Mercedes SL? ...

Mercedes ML63 AMG (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Jed Maxwell, 18 January 2012 10:00

Mercedes claims to have invented the original performance 4x4 with its ML55 AMG in 1999. This Mercedes ML63 AMG is the third generation of the German firm’s hot off-roader and, despite the eye-watering fuel consumption and price tag, its predecessors have gained a loyal following with more than 24,000 leaving showrooms. The new Mercedes ML63 AMG goes on sale inthe UK July ...

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 ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 16 February 2011 09:59

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 21 July 2010 09:45

The Jaguar XK120 was so-called because it did 120mph, the XJ220 because it did 220mph. And this is the XKR 75... So it must do 75mph! Some kind of economy special is it? We’ll have you know that this is the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220. Instead of the usual 155mph limiter, this one can run on to 174mph before ...

Jaguar XJ Supersport (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 20 April 2010 10:36

The Supersport is the cream on top of Jaguar’s new XJ range for 2010. The supercharged V8-powered limousine is the flagship, a full-fat experience in which only 5% of XJ customers will indulge. How does the £87,455, ultimate version of Britain’s S-class drive? That’s not a Jag XJ, that’s a Citroen concept car! Whatever happened to drawing rooms on wheels? ...

Maserati Granturismo S Automatic (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 09 May 2009 09:16

Maserati’s Granturismo has always tugged at our heartstrings, but it’s been hamstrung by an incomplete line-up of engines and transmissions. Not any more. We’ve just driven the final model to complete the Granturismo range – the new S Automatic. That means the marriage of the enlarged 4.7-litre V8 to the full torque converter auto gearbox.What it does at a stroke ...
