Audi RS6 Avant (2013) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 09 April 2013 11:30

This is new Audi RS6 Avant, a 552bhp rival to the BMW M5, Jaguar XFR-S and Mercedes E63 AMG. It’s also the second of four new Audi RS models due in 2013, but after the disappointment of the first (the RS5 Cabriolet) can the new RS6 deliver? This über Avant is less powerful than its predecessor, but it is faster ...

Fisker Karma (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 29 March 2011 09:00

It's been three years since former Aston Martin designer Henrik Fisker displayed his Fisker Karma plug-in hybrid concept car, and with full production looming in 2012 CAR has now tried a pre-production Karma at Fontana Raceway near Fisker's headquarters in Irvine, California. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new Fisker Karma. Why has it taken three years ...

Audi RS6 Avant by Abt (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 22 April 2010 10:51

For most people, you’d think an all-wheel drive estate with 572bhp and 479lb ft of torque was quite enough. Not German tuner Abt, which has tweaked the Audi RS6 to 690bhp and 590lb ft. ABT, you say? It’s Abt, surname of company founder Johann Abt, and it’s pronounced much like ‘apt’. After years on the edges of our consciousness, Abt ...

Range Rover 5.0 S'charged (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Oliver, 15 July 2009 00:00

Given the current economic and environmental climate, you might have expected Land Rover to give the heavily revised 2010 model-year Range Rover a 2.0-litre engine and a 50% price cut. It hasn’t. Engine capacity is up by a quarter. Power is up 29%. The price goes up too. But Land Rover has to believe that its markets will return, and ...

Porsche Panamera S (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ben Barry, 24 June 2009 00:01

After months of teaser shots, passenger rides and tantalising details, we’ve finally driven the most anticipated car of the year, the Porsche Panamera. We tested the five-door gran turismo in base-model S trim, meaning rear-wheel drive and a naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 – based on the same unit you’ll find in the Cayenne S and GTS – that churns out ...

Jaguar XK 5.0 Convertible (2009) first drive

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 16 April 2009 10:30

Don’t blink, or you’ll miss the ever-so-subtle facelift that identifies the latest Jaguar XK Convertible: reprofiled front bumpers, mirrors with integrated LED indicators, new rear valance, LED tail lights and colour-coded side vents. A bit less subtle is the direct-injection 5.0-litre V8, up from 4.2 litres and with matching respective 26% and 23% boosts to power and torque. Put simply, ...

Jaguar XKR Coupe (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Nick Trott, 20 February 2009 10:52

Ok, let’s try to get through this piece without mentioning the credit crunch. It won’t be easy, seeing as Jaguar’s revised XKR is a 911/M6/SL-rivalling, mile-munching supercharged GT costing £72,400, but we’ll give it a go. In a conscious effort to shake off the shackles of the ‘old man’ image Jaguar is making bold claims about the technology in not ...

Audi RS6 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Glen Waddington, 22 September 2008 09:53

It’s a car of broad abilities, the Audi A6. An eco-friendly 2.0TDIe tax-buster at one end, some slick and savvy V6s in the middle – then this utterly bonkers RS6 road-burner at the other end of the scale. And it truly is upscale, with a 572bhp twin-turbo V10 engine and a list price of £76,160. We’ve had the five-door Avant ...

Porsche 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Adam Towler, 01 August 2008 09:56

Amongst the seemingly endless combination of body shapes and technology that is the new 911 range, we've just driven an entry-level Carrera 4 soft-top to see if Porsche’s four-wheel drive system, new 3.6-litre motor, manual gearbox and an open body is a good mix. Read on for our full review of the 911 Carrera 4 Cabriolet. What do we have here: a ...

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S PDK (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Adam Towler, 31 July 2008 11:44

Following last month's meaner and greener 911 in traditional rear-drive form, Porsche has introduced the four-wheel drive Carrera 4 variant in standard and ‘S’ guises. CAR has just driven a Carrera 4S with Porsche’s new ‘PDK’ twin-clutch gearbox, carbon-backed sports bucket seats and the new PASM sports suspended chassis to see if this is the best 911 Carrera yet. With ...
