Infiniti M37S (2010) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 09 September 2010 15:30

This is the Infiniti M37, and it's Infiniti’s answer to the BMW 5-series and Mercedes E-class. And after we briefly tested the M35 Hybrid version in Japan, this is our first chance to try the new Infiniti M on UK roads. So the Infiniti M37 is now here in the UK, but was it by any chance designed primarily for ...

Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 (2009) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 26 November 2009 09:00

It might have a Shelby name but the old man isn't really building Mustangs these days. The real engineering heroes behind the facelifted GT500 are the blokes at Ford’s SVT (Special Vehicle Team). The original 2007 car, you might recall, was powered by a supercharged 5.4-litre V8 delivering 500bhp to the rear wheels. It was quick, but hardly sophisticated, overweight ...

Lotus Evora (2009): the new CAR review

Chris Chilton, 12 May 2009 09:00

So Lotus is rinsing out another Elise variant, eh? No, the Evora really is new, the first all-new Lotus for nearly 15 years in fact. It’s built to take on the likes of the Porsche Cayman and 911 and slots into the Lotus range above the Elise and below the forthcoming Esprit. You might have read our innovative, real-time test drive ...

Mercedes CLS320 CDI facelift (2008) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 24 April 2008 10:01

It’s facelift time for Merc’s banana-shaped CLS, a coupe/saloon crossover based on the dull old E-class. It hasn’t been around for long so there are no big changes for this mid-life refresh, just minor cosmetic tweaks to keep it looking contemporary in a line-up of newer Benz products. So guide me through the headline stuff for the Mercedes CLS320 CDI ...

Jaguar XJ 2.7 TDVi (2007) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 04 May 2007 11:57

New. In what sense exactly? Okay, so neither you, I nor Jaguar is under any illusion that the ‘real’ new XJ can’t come soon enough. Current Jag execs admit that the decision to stick with retro design was a mistake and that the next car will look much more modern, taking cues from the C-XF concept. But that car won’t ...

Chrysler 300C SRT-8 (2006) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 27 September 2006 09:35

What’s this SRT badge about? I thought the Hemi was the hot one. SRT, or ‘street and racing technologies’ is Chrysler’s answer to BMW’s M, Merc’s AMG and Audi’s RS monikers. Big power, big wheels and big attitude; that's what it's all about. But you're right, the original 50's and 60's Hemis were the top dogs in their day and ...

Porsche Cayman S (2006) CAR review

3.5

Chris Chilton, 24 July 2006 05:21

Ahh, the Porsche Boxster coupe. Yes, it's been a long time coming but I think Porsche would rather you didn't mention the B word if you don't mind - just in case people start questioning why the Cayman S costs £4k more than a Boxster S. What? I thought coupes were supposed to be cheaper than convertibles, what with having ...

BMW Z4 M Roadster (2006) CAR review

2.5

Chris Chilton, 20 July 2006 16:41

So, Munich's TVR is back? That's right, but this one's a bit more sophisticated than the Z3-based version from the late 1990s. It's got the current M3's multi-award-winning straight six and no trace of the old M roadster's ancient semi-trailing arm rear suspension. Not much to look at, is it? It's certainly more discreet than the old M whose bulging ...
