BMW 750iL (2009) CAR review

Greg Fountain, 05 January 2009 09:00

This is the BMW 7-series for people who think a 740i is a bit slack. And also for people who think the 740i is a bit too short. If you happen to be a chauffeur or a chauffeur’s employer the prospect of 140 extra millimetres of legroom in the back is no doubt deal-breakingly exciting, but for the rest of ...

VW Touareg R50 CAR review

Tim Pollard, 08 August 2008 00:00

A bit of a conundrum, this. How can a 2.6-tonne 4x4 put the Sport back into SUV? Volkswagen reckons the R50 Touareg is the answer – a tweaked-up version of its luxury 4x4. Except here, the emphasis is firmly on sporting luxury rather than pampering outright. It's telling they've picked the diesel version for the range-topper. The R50 is based ...

BMW M5 CAR review

Ben Barry, 29 July 2008 13:05

The E60 BMW M5 is the fourth-generation M5 and, at £65,890, the third-most expensive car in the M-Division range – sitting below the M6 Coupe/Convertible but above the M3 Coupe/Saloon/Convertible and M Coupe/Roadster. How does it drive? Brilliantly. It’s comfortable, extremely fast and sure-footed but playful. If anything lets it down, it’s the unnecessary gadgetry – but we’ll get to that later. ...

Porsche 911 Carrera PDK (2008) CAR review

Chris Chilton, 13 June 2008 07:33

Same-again styling hides some great technical innovations on the facelifted, second-generation 997, Porsche 911. With a new range of direct-injection petrol engines and clever seven-speed dual-clutch gearboxes, the 911 has overnight become one of the world’s cleanest high-performance cars. Once again CAR was first to drive the new 911, so read our first drive road test review here. So Porsche bills ...

Nissan GT-R (2008) CAR review

Gavin Green, 04 December 2007 13:23

Nissan GT-R. Finally, the full-blown road test… Yes, after all the hype, the teaser images, the passenger rides and interviews, we’ve finally been let loose in the Nissan GT-R, one of the most anticipated drives of the year. And my word, it’s been worth the six-year wait. This is one of the finest, most engaging and desirable cars we have ...

BMW M5 Touring CAR review

Anonymous, 08 August 2007 11:22

An M5 with a massive boot - sounds win-win to me. It is, almost. The anomalous M5 Touring is M-division chalk to the M6 convertible's cheese. Both have the same 500bhp V10, yet that the M5 looks absolutely stunning and completely purposeful only serves to emphasise the M6's excesses. But the touring is not perfect, suffering from exactly the same ...

Mercedes GL420 CDI CAR review

Anonymous, 26 September 2006 10:21

Another over-inflated luxury 4x4? Fair point. There is a whiff of Groundhog Day about the GL-Class but with seven seats, a host of new engines and comfort to match a luxury saloon, it could be worth sticking around for. In a nutshell, the GL-Class aims to be the biggest, most spacious and most luxurious SUV on the market, eating Audi ...

Mercedes GL500 CAR review

Anonymous, 02 August 2006 03:23

I'm imagining loads of huge new Benzes appearing at random, a different one wherever I look… Calm down. Deep breath. You're not hallucinating - there really are new Mercs every which way at the moment. And they just seem to get be getting bigger and bigger. But why? What? How? Let's recap. The new ML has been with us for ...

Mercedes CLK63 AMG CAR review

Anonymous, 26 July 2006 12:06

Another manic Merc? So how many squillion horsepower does this one have? It's not the car that's important, more what's changed under the bonnet. This is our first taste of a road car powered by AMG's new naturally aspirated 6.3-litre V8. It's the company's first ever ground up engine (the others having all been based on existing Benz motors) and ...

Jaguar XK8 Coupe CAR review

Anonymous, 21 July 2006 07:10

Jag XK? Looks like a re-badged Aston DB9 to me! You're excused. The new XK is the work of Ian Callum, the man responsible for DBs 7 and 9. After a slightly acrimonious departure from Gaydon he decided to make the best-looking Jag coupe he could. There wasn't much wrong with the old XK - not in 1996 at least. ...
