Jaguar XKR Coupe (2009) CAR review

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 20 February 2009 10:52

Ok, let’s try to get through this piece without mentioning the credit crunch. It won’t be easy, seeing as Jaguar’s revised XKR is a 911/M6/SL-rivalling, mile-munching supercharged GT costing £72,400, but we’ll give it a go. In a conscious effort to shake off the shackles of the ‘old man’ image Jaguar is making bold claims about the technology in not ...

Mini John Cooper Works (2008) CAR review

Mini John Cooper Works (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 14 July 2008 14:17

Mini is attempting to create a sub-brand with JCW – think of it as the company’s own M Division – which means the John Cooper Works is more than the ultimate Mini. It's the first of many high-performance, high-hoon Minis. The first JCW, just driven by CAR Online, goes to war with the Honda Civic Type-R and Ford Focus ST, and ...

KTM X-Bow (2008) CAR review

KTM X-Bow (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 25 June 2008 15:30

The KTM X-Bow is the first car from the second largest motorcycle manufacturer in Europe. It is unashamedly sportsbike-inspired, which means the X-Bow is fast, light and nimble. Question is, can KTM X-Bow dethrone Caterham and Lotus - the established track day royalty? So why has KTM jumped into the shark-infested waters of automobile production? Good question, especially when you ...

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR FQ-360 (2008) CAR review

Mitsubishi Lancer Evo X GSR FQ-360 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 01 April 2008 10:26

So here it is: the full loony-tune(d) Evo X. We’ve wondered what this car would feel like since we drove the standard model late last year. The new Evo X is a fine car, but its chassis is almost dismissive of the standard engine’s 291bhp.The FQ-360 GSR is the top of the range (official) Evo X. The engine is more ...

Honda S2000 (2008) CAR review

Honda S2000 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 14 February 2008 09:44

Honda’s S2000 is a curious car. Tucked inside that pretty, pointy body are all the ingredients to make it one of the finest sports cars on sale today; ballistic high revving engine, front-engine/rear wheel drive, snappy shift and snappier looks. The S2000's 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine even won International Engine of the Year for four consecutive years (2001 – 2004) and the manual ...

Mercedes SLK350 (2008) CAR review

Mercedes SLK350 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 06 February 2008 09:14

After 185,000 sales of the second-generation SLK (and 310,000 of the first), Mercedes-Benz has given its little sportster a raft of enhancements, improvements and other things ending in ‘ments’ . It has even fatter styling, even more performance and more gadgets than you can throw a Bluetooth enabled headset at. There are over 650 revised or new components, a new-look ...

Mercedes CL65 AMG (2007) CAR review

Mercedes CL65 AMG (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 22 May 2007 12:03

Looks like a bit of a beast. Is this another warp-enabled starship from AMG? Yep. This is Mercedes’ big CL-class coupe fitted with AMG’s ballistic 6.0-litre V12 bi-turbo engine and a bunch of go-faster, look-smarter goodies. It’s also the flagship model in the AMG range, which makes it the quickest and costliest Mercedes this side of the SLR. And speaking ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review

Mercedes CLK63 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 16 May 2007 01:46

Black Series? Sounds posh and a little edgy. What's all that about then? AMG groups its cars into five divisions. The Black Series machines are second only to the borderline psychotic and super-expensive Signature Series (i.e. CLK DTM) cars in the line-up. Black Series cars are stripped out, track focused and expensive (just like the Signature Series cars then) and ...

Bentley Arnage T (2006) CAR review

Bentley Arnage T (2006) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 30 August 2006 09:10

Another new Bentley? Yep, Bentley is on a roll. After Continental GT in 2003, the Flying Spur in 2005 and the new Azure and Continental GTC in '06, now we have a refreshed 2007-model year Arnage. It's not an all-new car, but there are some significant changes and a promise that this is a 'true driver's car'. A true driver's ...

Dodge Challenger Concept (2006) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Nick Trott, 17 August 2006 09:02

What's this? Another retro-fabulous muscle car from the land of burgers and the brave? Oh yes. And if there's one thing that the US of A is doing better than anyone at the moment, it's producing desperately desirable sports cars again. Ford's Mustang is firmly re-established as a true motoring icon, and Chevrolet has promised a new Camaro. And, 37 ...
