Citroen DS3 Cabrio THP 155 (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Ollie Kew, 18 April 2013 11:00

Citroen's new DS3 Cabrio is squarely aimed at the chic drop-top city car crowd, who've only had the Mini Convertible and Fiat 500C to woo them up until now. Does the French contender have the je ne sais quoi needed to take class honours? We drove the hot 1.6 THP 155 version to find out. It’s the £19,680 flagship of ...

Jaguar F-type V8 S (2013) CAR review

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Walton, 17 April 2013 09:30

This is the Jaguar F-type, in top-spec V8 S guise. Its supercharged V8 engine sends 488bhp to the rear wheels, giving the £75k F-type the performance of a £100k XKR-S. But can the F-type live up to the best sports cars In the class - and its legendary E-type ancestor? Read on for the CAR verdict. Give me some more ...

VW Beetle Cabriolet 2.0 TSI (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman (photography by Greg Pajo), 14 March 2013 09:00

VW’s range already boasts two drop-tops:  the Golf Cabriolet and folding hard-top Eos. Now, the retro-styled VW Beetle joins the convertible contingent, and CAR has driven it in 2.0-litre Turbo guise to see how it stacks up. Clearly hoping that we winter-weary, Vitamin D-starved Brits would burn ourselves silly and write deludedly nice things while suffering a bout of sunstroke, ...

Chevrolet Corvette Stingray Convertible (2013) first official pictures

Rated 4 out of 54

Ollie Kew, 05 March 2013 12:00

You wait ages for a new Corvette, and then six weeks after the new Stingray bows in at the 2013 Detroit atuo show, its soft-top sister is revealed at the Geneva motor show. The latest C7-generation Corvette drop-top uses the same mechanical package (big V8 up front, power sent to the rear wheels) as its fixed-head sister but adds an electrically-folding soft-top roof that ...

Aston Martin Vanquish Volante (2013) spy shots

Rated 2 out of 52

Ollie Kew, 04 March 2013 07:00

Aston Martin will launch a convertible version of the Vanquish sports car later in 2013, and CAR has scooped the soft-top super-GT testing in the UK. Mechanically identical to the hard-top car we first drove in 2012 (see our video review below) the Vanquish Volante sits on Aston's aluminium Gen4 VH platform, and has a 565bhp 5.9-litre V12 which will power it to a 180mph-plus top speed. ...

Toyota FT-86 Open Concept (2013) drop-top GT86 revealed

Rated 3 out of 53

Ollie Kew, 01 March 2013 09:30

Toyota will show a drop-top 'FT86 Open' concept at the 2013 Geneva motor show. It's supposedly a concept version created only to gauge customer reaction to a GT86 convertible, but with test mules already hard at work elsewhere, this is one concept car you can be sure will make it to showrooms almost unchanged. After all, that 'FT86' moniker stands ...

VW Golf R Cabriolet (2013) first official pictures

Rated 1.5 out of 51.5

Ollie Kew, 07 February 2013 14:00

Volkswagen has officially revealed the Mk6 Golf's swansong: the production-ready Golf R Cabriolet. First seen at the 2011's Worthersee enthusiast show, the new Golf R Cabriolet packs the same 266bhp engine as its hard-top sister, but loses its all-wheel drive underpinnings. It's now a front-driver, like a regular Golf GTI. What are the VW Golf R Cabriolet's performance specs? The Golf R Cabriolet gets ...

Audi RS5 Cabriolet (2013) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Ben Pulman, 30 January 2013 09:40

The weight of expectation hung heavy over the RS5 when it was launched in 2010. After the RS4 saloon had come oh-so-close to beating the M3, Quattro GmbH’s first RS coupe had all the potential to finally best the BMW. But despite a cracking naturally aspirated 4.2-litre V8, a quick-shifting dual-clutch gearbox and UK-friendly four-wheel drive, the RS5 took a ...
