Our first chance to drive the new Range Rover Sport has come sooner than we might have expected. It had its world debut at the New York auto show a month ago, yet here we are in the UK at Land Rover's Gaydon test track, looking at a prototype with its driver's door open and engine running. While we'd reiterate ...

Performance bargain of the moment? Only the current glut of £7k E46 M3s can possibly stand between a £20k 996 Turbo and that accolade. Because this is an extraordinary amount of car for the money, the one supercar that doesn’t require ownership of another car in case the weather’s not right, or you’re too tired, or are worried about parking, or ...

Tesla will begin deliveries to UK Model S customers in summer 2013, with a right-hand drive version of the electric limo due to follow in late 2014. The top-level Signature trim model will start at £83,000 and will only be available with the flagship 85kWh battery that we've tested below. The entry-level model, capable of a 160 mile range from its ...

This is the facelifted Mercedes E63 AMG, and inevitably it’s got more power than ever before. But now, thanks to four-wheel drive, it’s also got the hardware to deal with 577bhp and 590lb ft… Hang on! What’s all this nonsense about a four-wheel drive Mercedes E63 AMG? Far from being a wild rumour, those tyre-frying folk at Mercedes’ AMG tuning ...

Wider rear wheelarches and a thin red light strip across the rump: that's all that distinguishes the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4S from its Carrera 2 stablemates. Time to find out if all-wheel drive makes the impressive 991 even better. What's different under the skin of the Porsche 911 Carrera 4S? The latest example of the four-wheel drive 911, this ...

Month 11 running a BMW M5: we say farwell to out longterm M5 After 11 months and 16,000 miles – 11,000 of them in CAR’s hands – our M5 has finally departed. It arrived with the spoils of victory from a Jag XFR/Merc CLS 63/Panamera V8 group test and bowed out after a five-week sojourn at the dealer. That, however, ...
Which is the world's greatest car? It's perennial pub chat and to find the answer we gathered the cream of the crop to find the world's best at the launch of the new Range Rover. Is the new Rangie up there with a fighting chance for the title? Its mix of high-riding luxury, go-anywhere credentials and downright desirability mean it's up with the class best. ...

This is the Nissan GT-R Track Pack, a stripped-down, pumped-up Japanese coupe with designs on the 911 GT3. A GT-R GT3? Isn’t what the Spec V was all about. The GT-R Spec V was certainly the hardcore GT-R, but it was also obscenely expensive – double the price of the standard car. The Track Pack only costs around £10k extra but still ...

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. ...

This is the new Mercedes-Benz SL, only the sixth SL generation to launch in six decades. And because they don’t release one very often, you can typically expect a new SL to mark a giant leap on from the last one. This new Mercedes SL (codenamed R231) is no exception. What are the key changes to this new sixth-generation Mercedes SL? ...
