Lexus GS450h F Sport (2012) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 19 December 2011 10:47

This is the fourth generation Lexus GS, but it’s not about to take on the hegemony of Audi, BMW and Mercedes in Europe as there are still no plans for a four-cylinder diesel. There /is/ a new 2.5-litre V6 petrol but, officially, it’s dirtier and less fuel efficient than the headline-grabbing hybrid version, the GS450h. It’s the hybrid we’ve tested ...

Porsche Cayman R PDK (2011) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 24 February 2011 13:00

CAR's just driven the new Porsche Cayman R, the third addition to Porsche’s mid-engined coupe range to sit above the Cayman and Cayman S. There’s a whole host of weight-saving measures (some welcome, some not), more power, and a serious set of chassis tweaks. It should be the best Porsche Cayman yet – read on for CAR’s first drive review. What ...

Lotus Evora S (2010) CAR review

3.5

Ben Pulman, 01 November 2010 16:31

This is the new Lotus Evora S, and with the help of a supercharger, its 3.5-litre V6 has been boosted from the standard Evora’s 276bhp and 252lb ft, to 345bhp and 295lb ft. Enough, Lotus hopes, to shake off criticism that the Evora just isn’t quick enough; it’s that car’s only real fault, so has the extra power turned the ...

Porsche Cayenne S Hybrid (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 03 September 2010 14:00

The Porsche Cayenne caused controversy when it was launched, angering Porschephiles who believed that the Stuttgart sports car company shouldn’t be building such monstrosities. Of course the looks didn’t help the Cayenne’s case with traditionalists, but since the Mk1 Cayenne went on sale it’s proved to be a cash cow for Porsche. Now there’s a new version of the big ...

BMW M3 Competition Package (2010) CAR review

Ben Pulman, 01 September 2010 11:15

The BMW M3 GTS might have been stealing all the headlines recently, but there’s another new M3 around too, the Competition Package-equipped Coupe. Introduced as an option as part of a recent mid-life update, it offers a performance-focussed pack for those who want their E92 M3 to feel a bit more CS, CSL and GTS. But while the Comp Pack ...

Range Rover Sport TDV6 (2010) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 07 August 2009 00:00

Land Rover has revised its most road-focussed SUV ever, the Range Rover Sport. There’s now new petrol and diesel engines (shared with the new Discovery 4, XF and XJ), a thoroughly revised interior, and a more modern exterior to match the look of the recently facelifted Range Rover proper. Read on to find out exactly how the new £50,695 2010 ...

Mercedes S320 CDI LWB (2008) CAR review

2.5

Ben Pulman, 02 June 2008 12:30

The best car Mercedes makes? Surely it’s got to be the S320 CDI. The S-class absolutely dominates its market segment and, according to Merc, nearly 25 percent of all limos sold in the UK are the diesel S320 CDI. That’s absolute hegemony in the car market, and it’s not like there isn’t any opposition from BMW, Audi and Jaguar. But ...
