Audi RS6 saloon (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Glen Waddington, 22 September 2008 09:53

It’s a car of broad abilities, the Audi A6. An eco-friendly 2.0TDIe tax-buster at one end, some slick and savvy V6s in the middle – then this utterly bonkers RS6 road-burner at the other end of the scale. And it truly is upscale, with a 572bhp twin-turbo V10 engine and a list price of £76,160. We’ve had the five-door Avant ...

Mercedes CLS63 AMG (2008): CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Christopher Hubbard, 18 June 2008 09:28

This is the top 'banana' – the Mercedes-Benz CLS63 AMG with 507bhp and 465lb ft of torque. Mildly revised along with the rest of the CLS range, the CLS63 gets a new set of so-called silencers, and the same downshift-blipping auto-box as the AMG C-class. Is this enough to take the four-door uber-coupe from good to truly great? There’s only one ...

Audi RS6 Avant (2008) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Barry, 29 January 2008 11:08

Another performance car for the mid-life crisis, then? Harsh. The Audi RS6 carries on what the original car started back in 2002: it’s an all-wheel drive large family car – the estate goes on sale first to stress its versatility – with supercar-crushing performance. And that’s no hyperbole. With its 5.0-litre V10 – a heavily re-worked version of the 5.2-litre ...
