Caterham SP300R (2012) CAR review

Caterham SP300R (2012) CAR review

Rated 5 out of 55

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

Lexus LF-A Nürburgring (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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

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 ...

Nissan GT-R Spec V (2009) CAR review

Nissan GT-R Spec V (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 19 May 2009 17:00

This is the ultimate GT-R. While Porsche has RS, Lamborghini has SV and BMW has M, Nissan’s best GT-Rs (or Skylines) have come with a V-Spec designation. Now reversed, the Spec V is Nissan’s newest GT-R, with carbon brakes, a stripped-out interior and a bank balance-breaking 15,750,000 yen, that's over £100k. So what turns a ‘regular’ Nissan GT-R into a ...

Porsche 911 GT3 (2009) CAR review

Porsche 911 GT3 (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 23 April 2009 10:00

Back in our January 2007 issue, CAR Magazine named the then-current 911 GT3 as the best Porsche ever. So you could say its updated successor has quite some act to follow. Priced at £81,914 (up from its predecessor’s £79,540), it goes on UK sale in autumn 2009. This new Porsche 911 GT3 looks like the old GT3 to me Yes, ...

Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI (2009) CAR review

Audi R8 5.2 V10 FSI (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Meet the £100k Audi: the R8 V10. Yes, it looks suspiciously similar to the £77k V8-powered version, but spotters can tell it apart thanks to those new 19-inch rims, thicker side blades, revised strakes on the front and rear bumpers and even more in-your-face LED headlights.So, £20k more and the R8 5.2 V10 FSI still looks the same…Yes, even inside ...

Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review and video

Mercedes SL65 AMG Black Series (2008) CAR review and video

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 06 November 2008 16:00

This is the Mercedes-Benz AMG SL65 Black Series, the star of CAR Magazine’s December 2008 cover. CAR was invited to an exclusive test drive of this outlandish machine on road and track at Mas du Clos, France. Just 350 SL Blacks will be produced, with only nine coming to the UK. We’ll deal with the road test here, but you’ll ...

Nissan GT-R (2007) - first ride CAR review

Nissan GT-R (2007) - first ride CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 24 October 2007 05:50

You’ve had a ride in the new Nissan GT-R, then? We have, as you might have seen on our video clip. When CAR was invited to photograph the GT-R in Hokkaido (on a strictly look but don’t touch basis), marketing boss Shingo Suzuki unexpectedly suggested we jump in the passenger seat and go for a ride. So while we weren’t ...

Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2007) CAR review

Ferrari 430 Scuderia (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry, 25 September 2007 12:01

So you’ve driven the Ferrari 430 Scuderia. Remind me, what is it? The Scuderia is essentially a pared back and re-focused Ferrari F430. Scuderia means team in Italian and, for Italian car fans, the name is synonymous with Scuderia Ferrari, the racing division set up by Enzo Ferrari in 1929. In using the Scuderia name, then, Ferrari is stressing just ...
