Best of British |
|
This month CAR Magazine celebrates everything that is great about the British car industry. Ben Oliver takes a detailed look at the state of our nation, we test two great GTs from Aston and Bentley, take an original Elise to meet its supercharged offspring, and pit the Jaguar XF diesel against its rivals. Elsewhere, we undertake an epic autobahn adventure in an Audi R8, Porsche 911 and BMW M3, meet the British world champion you’ve never heard of, and detail VW’s Beetle successor. We also look back at the original Range Rover, meet the Ford Focus that’s been turned into an orchestra and hear from Ford’s boss on why Jaguar/Land Rover must be sold. |

New XF diesel takes on all the rivals Jaguar wishes it made. Can the Brit beat a Mercedes coupe, a Lexus hybrid, an Audi crossover and the BMW 5-series? |

Lotus has supercharged the Elise, but is it any better than the original? We take along a Rover-engined Mk1 car to find out. |

Georg Kacher tells you everything you’ll ever need to know about the autobahn, from the people who build it, to the rescue crews who save lives every day. An epic adventure aboard the Audi R8, Porsche 911 Turbo and BMW M3. |
