Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (2013) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 22 January 2013 11:00

Wider rear wheelarches and a thin red light strip across the rump: that's all that distinguishes the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from its Carrera 2 stablemates. Time to find out if all-wheel drive makes the impressive 991 even better. What's different under the skin of the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S? The latest example of the four-wheel drive 911, this ...

BMW M6 Coupe (2012) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 14 November 2012 12:15

BMW has downsized the new M6 – but the good news is that less means more. As with last year’s M5 super-saloon, the charismatic F1-derived 5.0-litre V10 has been replaced with a more mainstream 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. In the process, though, fuel economy has been improved by 30 percent, and power increased by 10 percent to 552bhp. The new V8’s ...

Audi RS4 Avant (2012) CAR review

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 ...

Bugatti Veyron in the real world (CAR archive, September 2006)

Georg Kacher, 27 July 2012 10:00

The Bugatti Veyron sounds like a low-flying chopper as it starts climbing the hill on the far side of my home village. The roar is muffled for a few seconds by the two-storey buildings that form the core of the settlement in the Munich stockbroker belt. But then, rapidly gaining intensity, the noise morphs from subconscious to ‘what the – ...

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) CAR review

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 ...

Maserati Gran Cabrio (2011) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 19 April 2011 10:00

Maserati has removed the roof from its handsome Granturismo coupe to create the stunning Maserati Gran Cabrio. Does the Gran Cabrio continue to deliver the intoxicating blend of good looks, GT performance and four-seater space of the Granturismo? Or does the Gran Cabrio's appeal disappear in a riot of scuttle shake and wind buffeting once asked for more than boulevarde cruising? Read on for our ...

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale (2011) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 31 March 2011 12:00

Maserati has taken 110kg out of the Maserati Granturismo S to create the racing-inspired MC Stradale. But although the optional roll cage, significant weight reduction, more powerful engine and higher price tag seemingly puts the MC Stradale on par with the Porsche 911 GT3, Maserati is adamant that its new stripped-out coupe is still a comfortable, everyday car. Read on ...

Porsche Cayman S (2009) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 04 December 2008 12:30

The Porsche Cayman should have been a failure. The first pictures showed an ugly and ungainly coupe tottering on tiny 17-inch wheels, it cost a few grand more than its cheaper-to-build Boxster sibling and it should have always been overshadowed by its 911 big brother. But that never happened. Even though Porsche was clearly trying to reign the Cayman back, all but ...

Corvette ZR1 (2008) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 11 September 2008 10:00

The new Corvette ZR1 is the world’s quickest and rawest sports car – only mad supercars and insane track cars can best it. This is a bright yellow bullet, with 638bhp (making it the most powerful ‘Vette of all time), carbonfibre bodywork and Brembo’s biggest ceramic brakes. Just 1800 ZR1s will be built each year at GM’s plant in Kentucky, ...

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe (2007) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 08 June 2007 12:29

Ohhh… suits you Mr Kacher Thank you very much indeed. Yes, Rolls-Royce's Drophead is a truly breathtaking vehicle, one in which it only feels right to wear a tailored suit before swinging open that big rear-hinged door and slipping behind the thin-rimmed steering wheel. And it will be an incredibly rare sight, the Phantom Drophead Coupe. Over the next 10 ...
