Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 (2013) CAR review

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 ...

Mercedes SLS AMG Black Series (2013) CAR review

4.5

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 ...

Pagani Huayra (2013) CAR review

Ben Barry, 06 February 2013 09:01

Welcome to CAR's review of the Pagani Huayra supercar. Don't forget to check out Ben Barry's video review lower down the page, to see and hear that amazing bi-turbo V12 in action... You’ll know that the supercar world has changed beyond recognition since the days of the Ferrari 288 GTO and Lamborghini Countach. Most of the minnows have been swallowed ...

Aston Martin Vanquish (2012) CAR review

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 ...

McLaren 12C vs the world - Part 1 (CAR archive, June 2011)

2.5

Ben Barry, 24 August 2012 12:00

So, this is it, the big one. In a layby on an empty Welsh road linking nowhere in particular to somewhere else altogether sit a McLaren MP4-12C and Ferrari 458 Italia. Both cars are brimmed with superplus, fluids tickled to temperature, specs long since decided, minders long since departed. Finally they’re ours, and over the next couple of days we’ll ...

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (2012) CAR Review

4.5

Ben Barry, 30 July 2012 09:22

Here it is, then, CAR Magazine's long-awaited first drive review of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, replacement for the 599. The F12 is an all-new car, but the basics remain familiar: a powerful, naturally aspirated V12 sits ahead of the driver, while power flows to the rear wheels only. What are the key features of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta? The 6262cc V12 ...

Caterham SP300R (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 12 April 2012 14:41

There’s very little that’s more exhilarating than an R500, Caterham’s top-of-the-range 7; it wraps 263bhp and a 2.8sec 0-60mph time in a package that weighs little more than your basic coffin. But what next? What if you’ve simply acclimatised to being fired around a racetrack like a rocket on a rollerskate? You might want to try this: the Caterham SP300R. ...

Lexus LF-A Nürburgring (2012) CAR review

Ben Barry, 13 February 2012 13:30

Back in June 2010, right in the middle of the Toyota unintended acceleration scare, Lexus LFA test driver Hiromu Naruse died when his LF-A Nürburgring ploughed into a 3-series carrying BMW engineers on the 410, one of the public roads outside the Nürburgring. Toyota sources say Naruse-san didn’t appear to have been wearing his seatbelt and appeared to have been ...

Jaguar XJ Drift blog by Ben Barry

3.5

Ben Barry, 31 July 2010 10:00

Elsewhere on this site you might spot me hooning about on Anglesey race circuit with Jaguar vehicle development boss Mike Cross and a pair of XFRs. But while I was there I also got a steer in one of the final development XJs – a long-wheelbase, non-turbo V8. It’s intellectually oddball styling and unrushed loungey ambience reminds me of a ...
