Vauxhall Cascada Elite 2.0 CDTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 23 May 2013 11:00

The Vauxhall Cascada is a two-door, four-seat soft-top based on the Insignia saloon and pitched against the Audi A5 Cabriolet. In a class dominated by image and brand cachet over driving dynamics, can the Cascada cut it? We drove the 2.0-litre CDTi diesel in range-topping Elite trim to find out. Cascada first impressions… It’s a big beast, shading an Audi ...

BMW M4 spy shots (2014) super-coupe reaches testing climax

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 22 May 2013 13:00

These spy shots of a pre-production BMW M4 coupe show that the new M car is in the final stages of development. With only a thin veil of camo-tape wrapping the aggressive ducts and flared flanks of the new M Division coupe, it’s clear the M4 is on track for its summer 2014 arrival – following the new M3 at ...

Nissan Juke Nismo (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 12:00

Nissan’s first Nismo-badged car to be sold in Europe is this hotted-up Juke crossover. Sporting an aggressive aero bodykit and sporty cabin touches, chassis revisions and a dollop more power, the Nismo (short for Nissan Motorsport) is an offbeat £20k alternative to regular hot hatches like the Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo and Peugeot 208 GTi. So this isn’t really a Juke-R ...

BMW M5 Competition Package (2013) first official pictures

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ollie Kew, 20 May 2013 10:30

BMW has updated the M5 super-saloon alongside the facelifted 5-series range. There are only tiny visual tweaks, but the big news is a new Competition Package version to take the fight to the new Mercedes E63 AMG S. What modifications do M5s fitted with the Competition Package get? More power for a kick-off. Like the regular M5, the Competition is ...

Jaguar XF Sportbrake Diesel S (2013) long-term test review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

the CAR road test team, 17 May 2013 13:00

So, here it is then, the upcoming addition to the CAR longterm fleet: ‘my’ Jaguar XF Sportbrake. You can’t get a Sportbrake in the petrol flavours offered in the saloon; instead you’ll choose from a 2.2-litre four-cylinder turbodiesel in either 161bhp/295lb ft or 197bhp/295lb ft guises, or a 3.0 TD V6 with either 237bhp/368lb ft or 271bhp/442lb ft. The Sportbrake ...

Porsche 918 Spyder (2013) final specifications and prices

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 17 May 2013 09:30

Porsche told CAR it expected final 918 Spyders to produce more power and better economy than the test mules – and Stuttgart has delivered. Final specs for the V8 hybrid supercar have been released, and it's as quick as you'd hope (for £660,000...) Porsche's 918 Spyder: the vital stats: Engine: 4.6-litre V8, 600bhp @ 8600rpm, 390lb ft @ 6600rpm. Engine redline @ ...

918 a match for Ferrari and McLaren in corners, says Porsche

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 14 May 2013 10:00

Had you forgotten about the third contender in the hybrid supercar wars, given the furious competition betwen Ferrari and McLaren? Porsche’s hybrid 918 Spyder is that third competitor, which mates a 4.6-litre normally aspirated V8 to an 84bhp front-drive electric motor and a 127bhp EV motor helping drive the rear tyres. It costs £768,026, and though Porsche won’t quite admit as much, ...

VW Amarok Power Pick-Up (2013) first pictures of super-truck concept

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 13 May 2013 11:20

This the the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up concept car. After the 496bhp Golf GTI 'Design Vision', Seat racers, Skoda Rapid Sport and Audi's stripped TTS, you'd have been forgiven for thinking we'd seen the last of 2013's tuned VWs, but instead we've got an Amarok that'll hit 62mph in just 7.9sec. What gives the VW Amarok Power Pick-Up its, erm, ...

The ultimate car geek tour: we go inside Ferrari

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Barry, 09 May 2013 16:00

Tues, 7 May. 9.30pm After a flight out of Heathrow and a bewildering detour on a bus, we finally arrive in Maranello for a late dinner at the Museo Ferrari. There's bags of interesting stuff here, but the 288 GTO-based GTO Evoluzione [left] catches my eye - it never raced, but fed into the F40 project – as does the F40 Competizione, ...
