Jaguar F-Type: how to tell if it's V6 or V8

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 18 May 2012 11:15

Anorak corner! Here's how you tell the difference between a V6 and a V8 Jaguar F-type. Our recent spate of F-type spyshots reveal two different exhaust layouts - and this is one of the styling signifiers distinguishing between the bottom-rung and top-end roadsters. This car is one of our first views of the F-type V8, equipped with the same 5.0-litre ...

Jaguar F-type roadster (2013) final prototypes spied

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 14 May 2012 15:04

Jaguar continues to test the new F-type roadster - and this is the first time we've seen the final stage prototypes on the public road in the UK. Until now, we've only used the official hand-out shots of a camouflaged F-type issued by Jaguar itself. But these independent spy photos of the F-type confirm more detail on one of 2013's ...

BMW 2-series cabriolet (2014) revealed

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher and Pembroke Tenneson (artist's impression by Christian Schulte), 10 May 2012 09:41

BMW is working on the next 1-series convertible - but it will arrive in 2014 badged as a 2-series. Given the number and variety of separate models coming from BMW, it comes as no surprise that some name-shuffling is necessary. Like Mercedes, Munich is having to rejig its range to accommodate the flurry of new metal, so the next 1-series coupe and convertible ...

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard (artist's impressions by Christian Schulte), 26 April 2012 11:11

Jaguar's new F-type is shaping up to be quite a sports car - with news of the full engine line-up, including supercharged V6s and V8 power, now confirmed by Jaguar. CAR's artists have stripped away the disguise of the official 'spyshots' issued by Jaguar upon confirmation that the F-type project had been approved. The top three photos above give us ...

Audi A1 Convertible (2013): Ingolstadt's Fiat 500C rival

Rated 3 out of 53

Georg Kacher (artist's impression by Christian Schulte), 30 March 2012 09:14

Audi is preparing an open-top A1 convertible for launch in 2013. However, this is no full drop-top cabriolet; the Audi A1 soft-top will have a tin opener taken to its metal structure and a rollback fabric roof will take its place. So the Audi A1 Convertible will be like the Fiat 500C? That's right. The Audi solution, as depicted in ...

BMW 4-series cabriolet (2014) - the F33 scooped

Rated 4 out of 54

Tim Pollard, 09 December 2011 15:30

Here's the new BMW 4-series Convertible on test in Germany - just a couple of months after we first viewed the 4-series Coupe. These are identifiably the replacements for today's 3-series coupe and convertible twins, and BMW looks set to repeat the formula. It's one which seems quite indulgent, as many manufacturers rely on coupe-convertibles with folding hard-tops to occupy ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet (2012) - new soft-top scooped

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 01 December 2011 12:22

Volkswagen is readying the new 2012 Beetle Cabriolet - and the convertible Bug will stick with a cloth roof, these spy photos suggest. Our scoop photographers caught the new cabrio on test in southern Europe, with only the mildest of disguise around the headlamps to hide what's new. It seems to adopt some of the look of the 2005 Ragster ...

McLaren MP4-12C convertible (2012): the first spy photos?

Rated 3 out of 53

Tim Pollard, 16 November 2011 12:41

Although taken on a very long lens from a kilometre away, we believe these grainy spyshots reveal the new McLaren MP4-12C spider. McLaren insiders have confirmed a convertible version of the MP4-12C is coming, and engineers are currently flat out testing the final prototypes ahead of a planned debut in 2012. How do you know this is the 2012 McLaren ...

Porsche 991: secrets of the new 911 cabrio's roof

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Georg Kacher, 26 October 2011 10:30

Porsche is readying the new 991-spec 911 Cabriolet for launch in summer 2012. In many regards, it's business as usual: it's a soft-top convertible version of the new 911 coupe. But its roof holds one or two secrets up its sleeve. The 911 Cabriolet's top still looks as if it was made of soft fabric, but it actually consists of three ...
