BMW 3-series Gran Turismo (2013) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 22 May 2013 12:30

This is the BMW 3-series GT, which starts from £28,835. Cast in the same (albeit smaller) mould as the unloved 5GT, the 3-seres Gran Turismo offers estate-beating versatility, but does it still drive like a proper BMW? We drove the 320d and 335i models model to find out. So, what’s the point? Is that what you’re thinking? Us too. We ...

VW XL1 (2013) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 01 May 2013 16:00

VW will build only 250 examples of its super-streamlined 313mpg XL1. CAR’s Georg Kacher has driven one of them to find out if it really can achieve its amazing claimed economy figures. First impressions of the VW XL1 You enter the vehicle through mighty gullwing doors which are blown open by little integrated pyrotechnic devices should the poor thing ever ...

VW Golf GTI (2013) CAR review

2.5

Georg Kacher, 22 April 2013 13:00

This is the VW Golf GTI Mk7: the fastest, most frugal Golf GTI ever made. Is it just a subtle tweak of its Mk6 predecessor, or a truly great hot hatch worthy of the GTI name? To find out, we’ve borrowed a pre-production GTI for a revealing 350km shakedown experience in the Ile de France region around Paris. The car’s ...

BMW i3 (2013) electric car test ride

3.5

Georg Kacher, 25 February 2013 09:00

BMW’s pioneering i3 electric car is one of the most exciting cars of 2013. It employs BMW’s trademark, sporty rear-wheel drive, which marks it out from the front-drive electric cars from Nissan and Renault. It’s a clean-sheet design, using exotic lightweight materials to save weight and maximise the electric range. So, an aluminium chassis housing the batteries and rear-mounted, 170bhp ...

Porsche Cayman S (2013) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 12 February 2013 12:30

The new ‘981-generation’ Porsche Cayman S is 30kg lighter than the outgoing model, 5bhp more powerful, and boasts same the classy interior as its soft-top Boxster sibling. Is it still the £40-50k sports car benchmark? Porsche Cayman S: the spec The new Cayman is bigger than before: its wheelbase is 60mm longer, and it now rides on 19-inch rims as ...

Mercedes A250 Sport (2013) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 25 January 2013 09:30

Forget everything you knew about the Mercedes A-class. The new model is totally different in appearance, concept and character, bearing zero resemblance to the original entry-level Mercedes from 1998 that made the elk famous by failing the stability test named after that top-heavy, antler-bearing, Nordic mammal. The third-generation A-class, now on sale in the UK, is no longer gunning for ...

Porsche 911 Carrera 4S (2013) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 22 January 2013 11:00

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 ...

Maserati Quattroporte 3.8 V8 (2013) CAR review

3.5

Georg Kacher, 17 January 2013 09:00

The new Maserati Quattorporte goes on UK sale in June 2013, priced from around £110,000. Is the Italian Jax XJ and Audi A8 rival worth it? We've driven the flagship 3.8-litre bi-turbo V8 to find out. When the covers are pulled off the new Quattroporte, what hits you immediately is the sheer size of the thing. Next to this frame-filling statement on wheels, ...

McLaren 12C Spider (2012) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 23 November 2012 12:15

As ‘my’ 12C sparkles in the Spanish sunshine it’s at first difficult to establish that this is the Spider. Rivals from Lambo and Audi favour fabric roofs, but, like key competitor Ferrari, the team from Woking has opted for a folding hardtop, so the 12C can be a roadster when the roof is down and look and feel like a ...

BMW M6 Coupe (2012) CAR review

Georg Kacher, 14 November 2012 12:15

BMW has downsized the new M6 – but the good news is that less means more. As with last year’s M5 super-saloon, the charismatic F1-derived 5.0-litre V10 has been replaced with a more mainstream 4.4-litre twin-turbo V8. In the process, though, fuel economy has been improved by 30 percent, and power increased by 10 percent to 552bhp. The new V8’s ...
