Porsche Panamera GTS (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 11 May 2012 09:31

The Porsche Panamera GTS makes all the right noises, feels almost as fast as a Panamera Turbo and is kitted out accordingly. If your budget does not stretch to the Turbo S, this is the Panamera to have. But beware - there is major facelift coming in spring 2013. Porsche Panamera GTS: the background Like the Mk1 Cayenne, the Panamera ...

Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe (2011) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 27 April 2011 12:00

This is the Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe. Swabian coachbuilder Xenatec is converting the Maybach 57 limousine into the opulent Maybach 57S Xenatec Coupe – of which it plans to sell 200 units at £595,000 each, plus tax.  Xenatec Coupes can be serviced at Maybach dealers, and Xenatec matches Maybach's standard warranty. The Xenatec is therefore the closest you can get to an official two-door Maybach. Financial suicide? We've had ...

Maserati Gran Cabrio (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 19 April 2011 10:00

Maserati has removed the roof from its handsome Granturismo coupe to create the stunning Maserati Gran Cabrio. Does the Gran Cabrio continue to deliver the intoxicating blend of good looks, GT performance and four-seater space of the Granturismo? Or does the Gran Cabrio's appeal disappear in a riot of scuttle shake and wind buffeting once asked for more than boulevarde cruising? Read on for our ...

Maserati Granturismo MC Stradale (2011) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 31 March 2011 12:00

Maserati has taken 110kg out of the Maserati Granturismo S to create the racing-inspired MC Stradale. But although the optional roll cage, significant weight reduction, more powerful engine and higher price tag seemingly puts the MC Stradale on par with the Porsche 911 GT3, Maserati is adamant that its new stripped-out coupe is still a comfortable, everyday car. Read on ...

Bentley Continental Supersports (2009) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 01 October 2009 10:00

What’s this? Bentley’s answer to the Renault R26R? Well they’re not exactly rivals, but the concept is similar: more performance, less weight and much less seating thanks to the deletion of the rear chairs. And to save everyone else having to peer into your car to confirm it’s a Supersports, the exterior features extra air intakes in a redesigned bumper, ...

Porsche Panamera Turbo (2009) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 28 July 2009 14:30

We’ve already driven the Porsche Panamera S. The comfort oriented, two-wheel drive, normally aspirated version of the new four-seater left us feeling less than infused. Enter the Panamera Turbo, the twin-blown 4.8-litre V8 pinnacle of Porsche’s supercar-cum-limo. Could the £100k Turbo be the Panamera we were hoping for? Behind the wheel of the Panamera Turbo Drop yourself into the Porsche’s ...

Bentley Flying Spur Speed (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 06 November 2008 12:23

Bentley has given its monstrously quick but vaguely anonymous Flying Spur a mild facelift and introduced the aptly entitled Speed go-faster pack to further distance itself from top-end V12-powered Mercedes, BMW and Audi models. What’s been done to the base Bentley Flying Spur model? What should have been done when it was launched in 2005, to be blunt. An extensive ...

Corvette ZR1 (2008) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

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, ...

Brabus Bullit (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher, 06 June 2008 07:00

The Brabus Bullit is for those people who look at fast German saloons and just see underpowered four-doors. If you want the Bullit, you’re the sort of person who reckons the Mercedes C63 AMG is lethargic. Merc S65 AMG? Just plain slow. You are a speed freak with a warped grip on reality.Does that sound like you? If your answer ...

Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe (2007) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 08 June 2007 12:29

Ohhh… suits you Mr Kacher Thank you very much indeed. Yes, Rolls-Royce's Drophead is a truly breathtaking vehicle, one in which it only feels right to wear a tailored suit before swinging open that big rear-hinged door and slipping behind the thin-rimmed steering wheel. And it will be an incredibly rare sight, the Phantom Drophead Coupe. Over the next 10 ...
