e-Ruf (2008) CAR review: the electric 911

Ben Oliver, 02 December 2008 10:00

The e-Ruf just confirms our view that its maker is among the world’s coolest car companies. Not content with taking some of the best cars in the world and making them slightly better, and producing the world’s first production car to crack 200mph (it wasn’t the Ferrari F40) Ruf has now decided to take on Tesla and produce a high-end ...

Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic (2008) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 29 October 2008 00:01

Not even James Bond has driven the Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic yet. Quantum of Solace is just about to open but Daniel Craig must content himself with the standard manual DBS. We’ve already driven his likely next car: the DBS Touchtronic with an automatic gearbox, a new Bang and Olufsen sound system and gorgeous new optional wheels. Read our full ...

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, ...

CAR's great drives: Convoy! Part 1

Mel Nichols, 28 August 2008 17:00

Mel Nichols penned one of CAR's most celebrated drive stories: Convoy, published in February 1977. It was a never-to-be-forgotten journey in a convoy of Lamborghinis – the Countach, Silhouette and Urraco. Read the full, original story over the next few pages. Only at CAR Online It had the unreal quality of a dream. That strange hyper-cleanliness, that dazzling intensity of ...

Riding in the amazing Mazda Furai

Ben Whitworth, 07 August 2008 11:54

Forget the Batmobile, the Mazda Furai is one of the wildest looking cars of the moment. And we've just had one of the wildest rides of our life in this astonishing race car-cum-concept. You can watch the Furai in action in our official video below – and read our first impressions after a few hot laps. Flipping through the Furai’s ...

Porsche Carrera GT CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 04 August 2008 10:32

The Porsche Carrera GT is – or was – arguably the world’s best-selling supercar. Initially Porsche planned to manufacture 1500 of the mid-engined targa-topped two-seaters, but the Leipzig production line called it a day at 1270. Which to even the most jaundiced-eye looks pretty impressive for a clean-sheet Le Mans-inspired £330,000 supercar that’s capable of a genuine 205mph Mind you, ...

CAR drives a Nissan GT-R up the hill at Goodwood

Ben barry, 11 July 2008 15:19

‘Okay, light them up!’ Queue to drive up the famous Goodwood hill at the Festival of Speed and, just before the start line, you’ll find yourself in the tyre-warming area. Great if you’re in a rear-wheel drive car. Not so great if you’re in the four-wheel drive Nissan GT-R. The marshall clearly doesn’t understand and clearly thinks I’m a pussy ...

Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 13 May 2008 09:06

The first baby Lambo to crack 200mph is far from all-new, but the Gallardo LP560-4 has more to offer over the old car than simply a front bumper that looks like it was pinched from a Ferrari Enzo. More powerful than even the now-dead Superleggera, it’s also significantly more economical and less polluting too. First of all, what does LP560-4 ...

Aston Martin Vantage N24 CAR review

Nick Trott, 21 April 2008 10:09

We at CAR have a soft spot for the Aston Martin Vantage N24. Back in 2006 we sensed there was a story brewing when Aston Martin announced that it would enter a road-legal V8 Vantage in the legendary Nurburgring 24-hour race. We followed Aston to Germany and even mucked in with pitstops during the race weekend, but little did we ...
