Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ben Pulman, 10 April 2013 16:00

This is the new Audi S3, a near-300bhp four-wheel drive hot hatch that’s as quick as a Porsche 911 and a rival for BMW’s M135i and the forthcoming Mercedes A45 AMG. Is it a VW Golf GTI turned up to 11, or just a faster Audi A3? Read on for our first drive review of the new Audi S3… How ...

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 09 April 2013 11:30

This is new Audi RS6 Avant, a 552bhp rival to the BMW M5, Jaguar XFR-S and Mercedes E63 AMG. It’s also the second of four new Audi RS models due in 2013, but after the disappointment of the first (the RS5 Cabriolet) can the new RS6 deliver? This über Avant is less powerful than its predecessor, but it is faster ...

Aston Martin Rapide S (2013) CAR review

Rated 2 out of 52

Ben Pulman, 05 April 2013 11:00

This is the new Aston Martin Rapide S. It’s a facelifted version of the famed British company’s super-saloon, timed perfectly to coincide with the launch of the new Maserati Quattroporte and facelifted Porsche Panamera. What’s new? The enlarged singleframe grille is big enough to make an Audi designer jealous, the 6.0-litre V12 boasts an extra 80bhp, and there’s a three-mode ...

Peugeot 208 GTi (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 04 April 2013 07:00

This is the new Peugeot 208 GTi, and it follows hot on the heels of our drives of both the Ford Fiesta ST and Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo. Can it be as good as the Fiesta ST or Clio Turbo? The Peugeot has nearly 20bhp more than the Ford, and as some Renaultsport fans bemoan the Clio’s new dual-clutch transmission, ...

Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 19 March 2013 09:00

This is the new Renaultsport Clio 200 Turbo, and for hot hatch fans it’s as controversial as the latest PDK-only Porsche 911 GT3. Out has gone the old RS Clio 200’s rev-hungry naturally aspirated 2.0-litre engine and manual gearbox, and in the pair’s place are a turbocharged 1.6 and dual-clutch transmission. Renaultsport is hoping the combination will appeal to a ...

CAR interviews 'Mr GT3' Andreas Preuninger

Rated 4 out of 54

Ben Pulman, 06 March 2013 07:00

The latest Porsche 911 GT3 boasts an all-new 469bhp 3.8-litre flat-six and is quicker than the legendary GT3 RS 4.0, but fans of this hardcore icon have voiced their concern over its new dual-clutch PDK gearbox and its steering (both the electric rack inherited from the 991-generation Carrera, and the new rear-axle steering).  Ahead of the 911 GT3's unveil at the 2013 Geneva show this ...

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 05 March 2013 00:01

This is the Rolls-Royce Wraith, an imperious super-coupe that will debut today at the 2013 Geneva motor show. It’s the most powerful model Rolls-Royce has ever built, and the price befits that status: the Wraith costs £250,000. Just how much power does the Rolls-Royce Wraith need to be the most powerful model in this posh British marque’s history? The Wraith ...
