Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 26 April 2013 11:00

Lamborghini may be blowing out 50th birthday candles, but you won’t hear it crowing on about another anniversary: that the Gallardo turns ten this year too. That’s a long time in this business, especially when the Ferrari 458/McLaren 12C firefight has left the Gallardo almost completely out of the spotlight of late. The latest facelift won’t alter that, but it ...

BMW M6 Gran Coupe (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 19 April 2013 16:30

This is the new BMW M6 Gran Coupe, a four-door coupe/saloon that slots between the M6 coupe and M5 saloon. It gives Munich a direct rival to the Mercedes CLS 63 AMG (£82k) and forthcoming Audi RS7, and an excuse to add £24k to the M5's sticker price – it'll cost £97,490 when it goes on sale in May. The ...

Aston Martin Rapide S (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 05 April 2013 11:00

This is the new Aston Martin Rapide S. It’s a facelifted version of the famed British company’s super-saloon, timed perfectly to coincide with the launch of the new Maserati Quattroporte and facelifted Porsche Panamera. What’s new? The enlarged singleframe grille is big enough to make an Audi designer jealous, the 6.0-litre V12 boasts an extra 80bhp, and there’s a three-mode ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 19 March 2013 12:15

The Bentley Arnage was the flagship Bentley saloon until the new Mulsanne arrived in 2009, and it's now yours from £20-29k. Tempted? Then find all you need to know before buying below. Talk me through the Bentley Arnage's life-span Twinned with the Rolls Silver Seraph from launch in 1998 (in the days when Vickers still owned both firms), the Arnage ...

Rated 5 out of 55

Chris Chilton, 18 March 2013 10:00

Ferrari's 575 Maranello offers you thoroughbred 200mph performance in a truly usable everyday package – and it's now yours for £45k. CAR's spec and buying guide tells you what to watch out for if you're eyeing up a 575M of your very own. What's so special about the Ferrari 575M? Building on the much-loved 550M, Ferrari’s mid-life facelift of its muscly ...

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (2013) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 04 March 2013 07:00

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG Black Series, the fifth Black Series since the SLK55 AMG kicked things off in 2006, and closest in spirit to the SL65 Black Series of 2008. At around £230k, it's a solid £60k clear of the regular SLS on which it's based and only a little cheaper than the Ferrari F12. We've come ...

Maserati Quattroporte 3.8 V8 (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 17 January 2013 09:00

The new Maserati Quattorporte goes on UK sale in June 2013, priced from around £110,000. Is the Italian Jax XJ and Audi A8 rival worth it? We've driven the flagship 3.8-litre bi-turbo V8 to find out. When the covers are pulled off the new Quattroporte, what hits you immediately is the sheer size of the thing. Next to this frame-filling statement on wheels, ...

BMW M6 Coupe (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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 ...

Aston Martin Vanquish (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 25 October 2012 08:00

Yes, it looks like just another DB9 derivative, yet another twist on Henrik Fisker’s 2004 original, but this is the new Aston Martin Vanquish, and there’s a lot more going on than first impressions suggest. What are the big changes for the Aston Vanquish? The standout change is the use of carbonfibre for all the body panels, where the other ...

Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2012 09:31

The Porsche Panamera GTS makes all the right noises, feels almost as fast as a Panamera Turbo and is kitted out accordingly. If your budget does not stretch to the Turbo S, this is the Panamera to have. But beware - there is major facelift coming in spring 2013. Porsche Panamera GTS: the background Like the Mk1 Cayenne, the Panamera ...
