Aston Martin DB9 (2013) long-term test review

Rated 2 out of 52

the CAR road test team, 04 June 2013 11:00

Month 2 running an Aston Martin DB9: the DB9 heads to base for gremlin-fixing treatment A quick update on our DB9. It’s been in to Aston’s own Works dealership in Newport Pagnell, and the diagnosis of the faulty Garmin sat-nav calls for a new control unit. It’s on order, and the new part should arrive in a week or so. ...

Audi R8 e-tron (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Damion Smy, 29 May 2013 11:00

The electric R8 has been shelved, but Audi’s let us drive it. An opportunity missed, or a smart ‘pass’ by Ingolstadt? The R8 e-tron is a rolling billboard for Audi to make us all aware of its e-tron models, of which you’ll be able to by an A3 version later this year. But while Mercedes has given us the chance ...

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 ...

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton (photography by Greg Pajo), 12 April 2013 13:00

This is the 2013 Lamborghini Aventador Roadster. For almost £300k, you get a 691bhp V12, 217mph performance, and the most head-turning looks of any car this side of a Pagani Huayra. But is it a true driver's car underneath the pantomime. Read on for the definitve CAR verdict. Can the Lamborghini Aventador Roadster justify its huge £300k price tag? You ...

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 ...

Used supercars: buying a Lamborghini Gallardo

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 20 March 2013 10:30

The Lamborghini Gallardo is ten years old this year. Can you believe it? Only a true geek could tell this early £65k Gallardo apart from a new one costing 150% more. Okay, so the baby Lambo’s unusually long lifespan has something to do with that. But that’s not the only reason. It simply looks as crisp, modern and desirable today ...

What's so special about the Ferrari 575M? Building on the much-loved 550M, Ferrari’s mid-life facelift of its muscly ...

Used cars: how to buy a second-hand Porsche 996

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry (photography by Charlie Magee), 08 March 2013 12:00

Porsche's rear-engined 911 icon: it's yours for £7000. How? The cheapest way into a modern 911 is the 996 Carrera, and it’s not hard to understand why: the 996 was preceded by the last of the air-cooled cars, the 993, so that car’s cult status is assured; meanwhile, the 997 followed it, and that’s essentially a new, improved 996. Want ...

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 ...
