Jack Carfrae, 04 July 2007 12:54

Mercedes C63 AMG: the lowdown Mercedes has a penchant for extremely powerful saloons and sports cars, in case you hadn't noticed. We've been inundated with the likes of the CL65 AMG, the CLK Black AMG and the McMerc SLR Roadster. Not content with these tyre-shredding giants, Mercedes has now shown the C63 AMG just 48 hours before the launch of ...

Toyota Verso (2007): first official pictures

Jack Carfrae, 03 July 2007 10:47

A new Toyota Verso? It looks just like the old one! Yes, it does. Honestly, the lengths manufacturers go to persuade us - and you - that a facelift is important! All-new! Ground-breaking! Nope, the Verso's latest revisions bring none of those things. They do bring more angular front and rear light clusters, plus a revised nose with a tweaked ...

Volkswagen Tiguan. We’ve seen this before, haven’t we? We have indeed. The Tiguan was first shown as a concept at the Los Angeles show in November, and it’s now primed and ready for production. CAR Online first spotted VW’s baby SUV, coated in black disguise, hot weather testing back in August. Volkswagen also released ‘official’ spy pictures of the car ...

Jack Carfrae, 27 June 2007 11:43

Mitsubishi Lancer: the lowdown With all the recent attention focused on Mitsubishi’s hot shot Evo X, its donor car, the Lancer, has been a bit neglected. Until now. A far cry from the unbreakable but unlovable stock Lancers that went before it, Mitsubishi’s new Jetta basher mixes sleek lines with four-square attitude and a healthy dollop of value for money. ...

Alfa Romeo 159 GTA (2008)

3.5

Jack Carfrae, 26 June 2007 11:20

Secret new car? Doesn’t look like Alfa’s doing much to cover it up. It may look like the victim of a boy-racer driveby, but beneath this Alfa 159’s butchered bodywork sits the underpinnings of the next generation GTA performance flagship. The hallowed Gran Turismo Alleggerita badge was first seen in 1974, when the 1600 Giulia Sprint GTA entered the gruelling ...

UK Government backs biofuels

Jack Carfrae, 22 June 2007 10:27

The government has announced the framework for its plans to increase the use of biofuels in the UK. Secretary for transport, Douglas Alexander, yesterday launched a consultation for the Government’s plan to encourage more motorists to use sustainable fuels, such as E85. And it plans to reward motorists who use them. The Renewable Transport Fuel Obligation (RTFO), introduced in 2005, ...

Porsche Panamera (2009) at the 'Ring

Jack Carfrae, 22 June 2007 07:43

Porsche Panamera: the hype continues It certainly does. There's been plenty of speculation about Porsche's forthcoming model, designed to bridge the gap between its top-end sports cars and SUVs. Porsche currently holds the record for making the most cash per car, and combined with the success of the Cayenne with the school-run crowd, the company is rolling in it. So ...

BMW 1-Series Convertible (2008)

Jack Carfrae, 21 June 2007 08:20

BMW 1 series Convertible: the lowdown We’ve seen a fair bit of the 1-series coupe of late, but its topless sibling has proved more elusive. Hardly surprising - BMW will unveil the E82 tin-top in July, whereas the E88 soft-top won't be seen until autumn 2007 at one of the American motor shows. But our spies at the Nurburgring have ...

1.5

Jack Carfrae, 20 June 2007 11:28

New Nissan 350Z: the lowdown It’s not been long since Nissan facelifted the 350Z endowing it with an extra 13bhp, but now we've scooped what looks likes the next-generation car, tipped to wear the 400Z badge. CAR Online snapped this odd-looking 350Z mule on test in Germany, where it was being benchmarked against some pretty fine competition in the shape ...
