Audi S8 (2012) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 12 October 2011 09:21

This is the new Audi S8, a £80k and 513bhp über-limo Ingolstadt believes will take on Jaguar’s XJ Supersport and Mercedes’ S63 AMG. The new S8 is purposely positioned away from the other circa-500bhp Audi limo, the A8 W12. That other £94.5k Audi limo is powered by a naturally aspirated 6.3-litre W12 engine, produces 493bhp and 460lb ft, and comes ...

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 ...

Mercedes G350 Bluetec LWB (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 25 February 2011 09:00

This big beast is the Mercedes G-wagen, and after a decade-long absence from the UK it’s back sale on in Blighty – and in right-hand drive form. You can’t just walk into any Mercedes-Benz dealer and buy one though; orders have to be placed with the Specialist Product Division at Mercedes-Benz World at Brooklands, the same team that brought us ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 16 February 2011 09:59

This is the new Mercedes CLS63 AMG, Merc’s hotrod version of its ‘four-door coupe’. Think of its as a sleeker, more stylish version of the E63 AMG, only that this new Mercedes CLS63 doesn’t utilise its siblings naturally aspirated 6.2-litre V8, but AMG’s latest direct-injection, twin-turbo 5.5-litre V8. brightcove.createExperiences(); Can the new forced-induction engine match the aural delights of the ...

Jaguar XKR 75 (2010) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Chris Chilton, 21 July 2010 09:45

The Jaguar XK120 was so-called because it did 120mph, the XJ220 because it did 220mph. And this is the XKR 75... So it must do 75mph! Some kind of economy special is it? We’ll have you know that this is the fastest Jaguar since the XJ220. Instead of the usual 155mph limiter, this one can run on to 174mph before ...

Jaguar XJ Supersport (2010) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Phil McNamara, 20 April 2010 10:36

The Supersport is the cream on top of Jaguar’s new XJ range for 2010. The supercharged V8-powered limousine is the flagship, a full-fat experience in which only 5% of XJ customers will indulge. How does the £87,455, ultimate version of Britain’s S-class drive? That’s not a Jag XJ, that’s a Citroen concept car! Whatever happened to drawing rooms on wheels? ...

Maserati Granturismo S Automatic (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Tim Pollard, 09 May 2009 09:16

Maserati’s Granturismo has always tugged at our heartstrings, but it’s been hamstrung by an incomplete line-up of engines and transmissions. Not any more. We’ve just driven the final model to complete the Granturismo range – the new S Automatic. That means the marriage of the enlarged 4.7-litre V8 to the full torque converter auto gearbox.What it does at a stroke ...

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, ...

BMW M6 Competition Package (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 05 March 2009 10:00

The M6 came out aeons ago (well, 2005), so BMW has seen fit to give it a refresh with the optional Competition Package, a collection of enhancements that ups the M6’s £83,700 sticker price by £2135. For that you get uprated suspension that’s 12mm lower at the front and 10mm lower at the rear. There are also more lenient stability ...

BMW M6 (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

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. ...
