Porsche 911 GT3 (2009) CAR review

Ben Barry, 23 April 2009 10:00

Back in our January 2007 issue, CAR Magazine named the then-current 911 GT3 as the best Porsche ever. So you could say its updated successor has quite some act to follow. Priced at £81,914 (up from its predecessor’s £79,540), it goes on UK sale in autumn 2009. This new Porsche 911 GT3 looks like the old GT3 to me Yes, ...

BMW M6 Competition Package (2009) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 05 March 2009 10:00

The M6 came out aeons ago (well, 2005), so BMW has seen fit to give it a refresh with the optional Competition Package, a collection of enhancements that ups the M6’s £83,700 sticker price by £2135. For that you get uprated suspension that’s 12mm lower at the front and 10mm lower at the rear. There are also more lenient stability ...

BMW M6 (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 31 December 2008 14:11

It might be hard to imagine, but back when the BMW M6 was launched in 2005, CAR Online wasn’t actually around. Hence the BMW M6 not being previously reviewed on this site. But in the name of being comprehensive – and for the sake of driving what’s sure to be an epic car – we thought we’d right that wrong. ...

Aston Martin V8 Vantage Coupe (2008) CAR review

Ben Barry, 22 May 2008 16:57

It might look exactly the same, but there's a new 4.7-litre V8 in this Aston Martin Vantage. The suspension, steering, interior and transmission of the V8 Vantage has also been significantly revised. The revisions push the V8 Vantage’s price from £83,000 to £85,000. This new Aston Martin V8 Vantage still looks the same to me. If you’ve already got a ...

Maserati Granturismo S (2008) CAR review

3.5

Ben Barry, 15 May 2008 10:22

With 433bhp, the Maserati Granturismo S is the most powerful production Maserati ever built, limited-edition MC12 not included. Shown at the Geneva show a year on from the original Granturismo unveil and launched at Maser’s Modena HQ yesterday, it promises to set right the base car’s biggest flaw: that it doesn’t have enough power. The S is expected to account ...

BMW M6 Convertible (2006) CAR review

Ben Barry, 25 September 2006 00:01

What's this, an even more expensive BMW M6? It certainly is. At £86,400 the convertible costs nearly £5k more than the regular M6 coupe. Yes, it’s a premium price, but BMW has done the sums and knows there is a customer base, typically 45-year-old males doing rather well for themselves. The UK’s 2006 allocation of 80 cars has already sold ...
