Porsche Cayman S (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 12 February 2013 12:30

The new ‘981-generation’ Porsche Cayman S is 30kg lighter than the outgoing model, 5bhp more powerful, and boasts same the classy interior as its soft-top Boxster sibling. Is it still the £40-50k sports car benchmark? Porsche Cayman S: the spec The new Cayman is bigger than before: its wheelbase is 60mm longer, and it now rides on 19-inch rims as ...

Porsche Cayman R PDK (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2011 13:00

CAR's just driven the new Porsche Cayman R, the third addition to Porsche’s mid-engined coupe range to sit above the Cayman and Cayman S. There’s a whole host of weight-saving measures (some welcome, some not), more power, and a serious set of chassis tweaks. It should be the best Porsche Cayman yet – read on for CAR’s first drive review. What ...

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 01 November 2010 16:31

This is the new Lotus Evora S, and with the help of a supercharger, its 3.5-litre V6 has been boosted from the standard Evora’s 276bhp and 252lb ft, to 345bhp and 295lb ft. Enough, Lotus hopes, to shake off criticism that the Evora just isn’t quick enough; it’s that car’s only real fault, so has the extra power turned the ...

BMW M3 Competition Package (2010) CAR review

BMW M3 Competition Package (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Pulman, 01 September 2010 11:15

The BMW M3 GTS might have been stealing all the headlines recently, but there’s another new M3 around too, the Competition Package-equipped Coupe. Introduced as an option as part of a recent mid-life update, it offers a performance-focussed pack for those who want their E92 M3 to feel a bit more CS, CSL and GTS. But while the Comp Pack ...

BMW M3 Coupe Edition (2009) CAR review

BMW M3 Coupe Edition (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 12 August 2009 12:25

In the past we’ve had M3 Sport Evos, GTs and CSLs from BMW, all building on already brilliant foundations, all adding a little more petrolhead attitude. But with the E92 generation’s lightweight CSL project long since canned, the M3 Edition is as close as we’ve yet come to an even more desirable M3. What’s the difference between a regualr BMW ...

Jaguar XFR (2009) CAR review

Jaguar XFR (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Chris Chilton, 16 February 2009 10:56

Just as the storm clouds of recession gather, now is hardly the best time to launch an all-guns-blazing, unleaded-glugging super saloon with enough firepower to sink a 1990s Ferrari. But product lifecycles and automotive industrial sequences being what they are, Jag had no choice with its new XFR. It was hardly going to wait until clearer weather to launch its ...

BMW 740i (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Richard Aucock, 28 July 2008 08:58

We've just been behind the wheel of BMW's new 7-series, at the company's Miramas test base. And while this 7-series might be a taped-up pre-production car, it's all but ready. So we've taken the unusual step of driving a car before its official launch to see if the promised tech fest is worth waiting for ahead of its November 2008 ...

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

Mercedes C63 AMG (2007) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 27 August 2007 09:57

So this is Merc’s answer to the new BMW M3... Got it. Hot C's have long been part of Mercedes' line-up, but none has had us quite as excited as this, the C63 which as the name suggests, gets the big 6.3-litre V8 from the car right at the top of Merc's range, the CL63. It’s worth pointing out that ...

BMW M3 (2007) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 12 July 2007 03:20

You’ve driven the new BMW M3 then? Oh yes. The E92 model is the fourth generation of the M3, a car that first arrived in 1986. Back then it had a four-cylinder engine with around 200bhp. The new car doubles that with a V8 and 414bhp, but the basic ingredients remain the same: rear-wheel drive, a limited slip differential and ...
