Bentley Continental GT Speed (2013) review

Bentley Continental GT Speed (2013) review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Steve Moody, 28 January 2013 10:24

Driving the new 205mph Bentley Continental GT Speed around Thruxton, Britain’s fastest racetrack: now that’s a day out you look forward to. After all, this fastest-ever (roadgoing) twin turbocharged, W12 Bentley has 616bhp, up from 567bhp the standard W12. It does the 0-62mph sprint in four seconds, and the lap record around the gentle rolling straights of Thruxton was set ...

McLaren 12C Spider (2012) CAR review

McLaren 12C Spider (2012) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

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 ...

Ferrari F12 Berlinetta (2012) CAR Review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Barry, 30 July 2012 09:22

Here it is, then, CAR Magazine's long-awaited first drive review of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta, replacement for the 599. The F12 is an all-new car, but the basics remain familiar: a powerful, naturally aspirated V12 sits ahead of the driver, while power flows to the rear wheels only. What are the key features of the new Ferrari F12 Berlinetta? The 6262cc V12 ...

Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster (2012) CAR review

Mercedes-Benz SLS Roadster (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Unlike Volkswagen, who once wheeled out Le Mans 24 Hours legend Jackie Ickx as their new ambassador at a Jetta launch on the somewhat spurious basis that he, erm, keeps a Caravelle camper van at his home in South Africa, Mercedes-Benz can lay a rather more genuine claim to a working relationship with Stirling Moss. Moss, relentlessly lauded as the ...

Volvo S60 Polestar (2012) CAR review

Volvo S60 Polestar (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 21 June 2012 07:00

Polestar, the Swedish race team behind last year’s 450bhp C30 hatch, have turned their attention to the mild-mannered S60, changing it into a 500bhp M3 eater A 500bhp S60!? Is Volvo having a midlife crisis? If it is, it ought to have them more often. Taking the S60 T6 as a base, Polestar stuck with the transversely-mounted straight six, but ...
