GM HydroGen4 green CAR review

Ben Oliver, 11 December 2008 15:30

General Motor’s new HydroGen4 is the latest proof that fuel-cell cars are advancing at an astonishing rate; trouble is, they have so far to go. Hydrogen-powered cars are still light years away from being affordable and practical, but this one comes closer to looking, working and driving like a conventional car than any we’ve yet driven. It deserves your attention; ...

e-Ruf (2008) CAR review: the electric 911

Ben Oliver, 02 December 2008 10:00

The e-Ruf just confirms our view that its maker is among the world’s coolest car companies. Not content with taking some of the best cars in the world and making them slightly better, and producing the world’s first production car to crack 200mph (it wasn’t the Ferrari F40) Ruf has now decided to take on Tesla and produce a high-end ...

Ferrari California (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 28 November 2008 10:03

It’s not exactly the new Dino some were expecting, but the launch of any new Ferrari is worth getting excited about. Yes, even if, like the new California, it’s poles apart from the brilliant Scuderia.CAR broke new e-turf back at the California launch in October 2008, when we filed a real-time test drive, blogging live from the Sicilian event with ...

Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic (2008) CAR review

Ben Oliver, 29 October 2008 00:01

Not even James Bond has driven the Aston Martin DBS Touchtronic yet. Quantum of Solace is just about to open but Daniel Craig must content himself with the standard manual DBS. We’ve already driven his likely next car: the DBS Touchtronic with an automatic gearbox, a new Bang and Olufsen sound system and gorgeous new optional wheels. Read our full ...

Ferrari California: real-time CAR review blog

Chris Chilton, 15 October 2008 17:03

Bit of a CAR Online experiment here. We're driving the new Ferrari California today and attempting what, as far as we're aware, is the first real-time review of the Cali on the internet. Road test editor Chris Chilton has filed his thoughts electronically from the launch in Sicily to CAR HQ where we've updated this blog minute by minute with ...

Corvette ZR1 (2008) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 11 September 2008 10:00

The new Corvette ZR1 is the world’s quickest and rawest sports car – only mad supercars and insane track cars can best it. This is a bright yellow bullet, with 638bhp (making it the most powerful ‘Vette of all time), carbonfibre bodywork and Brembo’s biggest ceramic brakes. Just 1800 ZR1s will be built each year at GM’s plant in Kentucky, ...

Tesla Roadster CAR review

Ben Oliver, 19 August 2008 09:44

This story about the Tesla Roadster is different, because after years of hype, anticipation and the almost-inevitable delays in production, CAR Online has finally driven one at length, on British roads and in near-production trim. This is a car burdened by expectation; some created by its billing as the world’s first truly green supercar and the first electric car you ...

Porsche Carrera GT CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 04 August 2008 10:32

The Porsche Carrera GT is – or was – arguably the world’s best-selling supercar. Initially Porsche planned to manufacture 1500 of the mid-engined targa-topped two-seaters, but the Leipzig production line called it a day at 1270. Which to even the most jaundiced-eye looks pretty impressive for a clean-sheet Le Mans-inspired £330,000 supercar that’s capable of a genuine 205mph Mind you, ...

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe CAR review

Ben Whitworth, 27 June 2008 09:00

It's time to drive the Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe, some two years after the company threw back the covers hiding its 101EX concept. Back then, no one ever pretended that was anything but a gossamer thin disguise for the upcoming Phantom Coupe. Fast forward 24 months and the first Coupes - running a 453bhp V12 and costing nigh on £300,000 - ...

Aston Martin 4.7-litre V8 Vantage Roadster Sportshift CAR review

Ben Barry, 22 May 2008 17:18

The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Roadster was introduced only a year ago, but already it’s been revised, the headline stats being a V8 that’s been bored and stroked from 4.3 to 4.7-litres (new pistons, liners and crankshaft), pushing power from 380bhp to 420bhp and torque from 302lb ft to 346 lb ft. The price? It rises from £91k to £93k ...
