BMW M6 (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 31 December 2008 14:11

It might be hard to imagine, but back when the BMW M6 was launched in 2005, CAR Online wasn’t actually around. Hence the BMW M6 not being previously reviewed on this site. But in the name of being comprehensive – and for the sake of driving what’s sure to be an epic car – we thought we’d right that wrong. ...

Porsche 911 Targa 4S (2008) CAR review

Adam Towler, 25 September 2008 08:10

Porsche’s 'Targa' moniker has been applied to open-air 911s since the late 1960s, and now with the latest version complementing the recently launched coupe and convertible models, it completes Porsche’s visually subtle but mechanically thorough overhaul of the 911 armada. We now awaited the Turbo and GT variants... So, this Targa's basically a new Porsche 911 with a big sunroof then? Well, ...

Maserati Quattroporte S (2009) CAR review and video

Kyle Fortune, 10 July 2008 09:20

Maserati's been busy; only a few months after it launched the Granturismo S, it’s now given us a revised and facelifted Quattroporte. Always one of the best-looking four-door cars around, sensibly Maserati has kept the visual tweaks to a minimum. So what is new on the 'new' Maserati Quattroporte? They've followed the facelift rulebook to the letter, changing the front ...

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 22 May 2008 16:57

It might look exactly the same, but there's a new 4.7-litre V8 in this Aston Martin Vantage. The suspension, steering, interior and transmission of the V8 Vantage has also been significantly revised. The revisions push the V8 Vantage’s price from £83,000 to £85,000. This new Aston Martin V8 Vantage still looks the same to me. If you’ve already got a ...

Maserati Granturismo S CAR review

Ben Barry, 15 May 2008 10:22

With 433bhp, the Maserati Granturismo S is the most powerful production Maserati ever built, limited-edition MC12 not included. Shown at the Geneva show a year on from the original Granturismo unveil and launched at Maser’s Modena HQ yesterday, it promises to set right the base car’s biggest flaw: that it doesn’t have enough power. The S is expected to account ...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT S CAR review

Anonymous, 12 November 2007 01:56

Maserati model names confuse me. What’s this Sport GT S all about? According to chief engineer Paul Fickers, it’s the car the Quattroporte always should have been. There are six Quattroporte variants – three with a semi-auto, three with a full auto – and it’s the ‘proper’ auto Sport GT S that’s expected to now form the majority of sales. ...

Bowler Nemesis CAR review

Anonymous, 05 October 2007 09:17

What’s this? It looks like a Range Rover Sport on steroids! Well, essentially it is. However, there’s much more to the Bowler Nemesis than its humble Range Rover DNA. Let me explain. British off-road specialist Bowler was founded 25 years ago when Drew Bowler, a blacksmith by trade, decided to mate a Land Rover body with a Range Rover chassis. ...

Lexus LS600h CAR review

Anonymous, 07 August 2007 12:10

Another hi-tech hybrid feast from Lexus? What's on the menu then? Well, if the gadget-laden LS460 isn't quite gadgety enough for you, this green LS hybrid might satisfy your appetite for technology. For a start, it has four-wheel drive, a petrol V8 paired with an electric motor, and an eight-speed continuously variable transmission. It's the full king's banquet. And it's ...

BMW M6 Convertible CAR review

Anonymous, 25 September 2006 00:01

What's this, an even more expensive BMW M6? It certainly is. At £86,400 the convertible costs nearly £5k more than the regular M6 coupe. Yes, it’s a premium price, but BMW has done the sums and knows there is a customer base, typically 45-year-old males doing rather well for themselves. The UK’s 2006 allocation of 80 cars has already sold ...

Maserati Quattroporte Sport GT CAR review

Anonymous, 28 July 2006 12:11

Sport GT? Explain please? Maserati has expanded its big saloon range, adding two new models to sit alongside the regular Quattroporte: the luxury-angled Executive GT and the performance-focused Sport GT. The Executive gets a chrome-finished grille and 19" rims, Allegro Vanden Plas-influenced retractable wood tables and even privacy curtains. I've never really bought into the privacy curtain craze. Indeed. So ...
