BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

BMW 320d SE (2012) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 22 December 2011 09:54

A new BMW 3-series is a big deal. The default sports saloon accounts for one third of BMW’s sales so the Munich firm can’t afford to get it wrong. Read on for CAR's first drive review of the new BMW 3-series. Bar the comedy glasses, the new BMW 3-series looks the same to me. What’s changed? More than you’d imagine. Built on ...

Nissan GT-R (2012) CAR review

Nissan GT-R (2012) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Jethro Bovingdon, 07 November 2011 12:20

Can you spot the difference? No? Come on, look really closely. In fact don’t bother, because although this is a thoroughly revised 2012 model year Nissan GT-R, it looks absolutely identical to the 2011 model. So the Nissan GT-R is still huge and brutal and indisputably Japanese. And now it’s even faster, even more capable and even more entertaining. Nissan ...

Audi R8 GT Spyder (2011) CAR review

Audi R8 GT Spyder (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Georg Kacher (photography by Greg Pajo), 20 October 2011 14:30

This is Audi’s R8 GT Spyder, and you can think of it in one of two ways: it’s a drop-top version of the R8 GT, itself a lighter and more powerful version of the already sublime R8 V10 supercar; or it’s a Lamborghini Gallardo Performante, sanitised (slightly) by the men and women from Ingolstadt. Read on for our first drive ...

Ariel Atom Mugen (2011) CAR review

Ariel Atom Mugen (2011) CAR review

Rated 4.5 out of 54.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Mark Fagelson), 18 October 2011 12:45

This is the Ariel Atom Mugen. With a little help from Northamptonshire-based Mugen Euro (the European arm of Mugen, Honda’s favoured tuning partner) ten of these £50k Atoms are being built to celebrate the skeletal track car's tenth birthday. There's more power from the Mugen-tuned engine (a tweaked Type R engine in the Atom produces 245bhp; the Mugen Atom has ...

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011) CAR review

Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Jethro Bovingdon, 01 July 2011 09:42

If you’re one of those people who think that Porsche should have given up on the 911 formula years ago – despite the gazillions of race victories and countless great road iterations that prove you’re wrong – then the GT3 RS 4.0 is just another refinement of a flawed concept. However, for those of us who are in on the ...

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Porsche Cayman R (2011) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 15 April 2011 07:00

Let me declare an interest. I have a serious fixation with the Porsche Cayman. Forget your 911s or supercars – the Cayman is what I trot out when I’m often asked what is my dream car. I just struggle to see how I’d want more power, more speed, more handling delicacy – or expense – in my life than the ...

Mercedes SLS AMG (2009) CAR review

Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni (2009) CAR review

Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2 Valentino Balboni (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Chris Chilton, 13 August 2009 16:10

Because the Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4 isn't quite enough for everyone, there's now a less-is-more version. With no front driveshaft and all the power from the 5.2-litre V10 going to the rear wheels, this is the limited edition LP550-2 Valentino Balboni, and a chance to help shift a few more cars, deflect attention from the new Ferrari 458 Italia, and finally ...

Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (2009) CAR review

Ferrari Scuderia Spider 16M (2009) CAR review

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Barry (photography by Mark Fagelson), 20 July 2009 09:47

This is the Ferrari F430’s swansong, the Scuderia Spider 16M. Just 499 will be produced to celebrate Ferrari’s 16 Formula One constructors’ championships, hence the 16M bit in the name. Its underpinnings are familiar from the Ferrari Scuderia coupé we first drove in 2007, but the roof’s come down and the price has gone up – by around £30k to ...

Bentley Continental Supersports (2009) first ride review

Bentley Continental Supersports (2009) first ride review

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 07 July 2009 09:14

At the 2009 Goodwood Festival of Speed, CAR was granted a passenger ride up the hill in the new light(er) weight Bentley Continental Supersports. It’s the new biofuel Bentley – the most powerful road car ever to roll out of Crewe’s gates is also the cleanest. And the driver of our E85 eco saintly sports car? One Derek Bell Esq. ...
