Maserati Spyder (2009): the spy photos

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 21 November 2008 11:26

Will Maserati's new Spyder use a folding hard-top? Our latest spy photos suggest it will – this close-up appears to show a metal coupe-convertible style roof, but we've also heard rumblings from senior executives that Maserati grand tourers need the boot space that comes with a cloth roof. In which case, this roof could be an elaborate disguise or a ...

Honda's new NSX: new scoop photos and video

Rated 4 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 19 September 2008 12:00

Honda aims to reassert itself as a manufacturer of genuine supercars with the next-generation NSX. It's been a long time coming; the original NSX went on sale in 1990 and continued little altered until its demise in 2005. Honda's not taking any chances with its successor: this prototype packs a V10 engine and everything Honda knows about engineering excellence. Our ...

Nissan GT-R V-Spec (2010) new CAR spy video

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 30 July 2008 11:05

The Corvette ZR-1 recently robbed the Nissan GT-R of its production car lap record at the Nurburgring. Not to be outdone, or to disappoint hundreds of hardcore Godzilla fans, Nissan is preparing a very special GT-R. Called the V-Spec, the tweaked GT-R is expected to dump the rear seats and boast other weight-saving changes to cut the kerbweight by 90kg. And while the weight ...

Porsche Panamera latest spy photos

Rated 2.5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 14 May 2008 14:53

The latest round of Porsche Panamera spy photos have arrived at CAR, and we continue to see more detail of Zuffenhausen’s super saloon. Our latest scoop pictures of the Panamera reveal a quick glimpse inside the fast four-door, too. Porsche engineers are using distracting black-and-white chequerboard disguise around the window line to mask the true shape of the glasshouse, but ...

Jaguar XKR-S

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Tim Pollard, 15 April 2008 11:31

A ducktail spoiler, 20-inch wheels and more air ducts and scoops than an air-conditioned Monaco apartment... Is this the new Jaguar XKR-R? Our spies caught this prototype being piloted around the Nurburgring by Jag's chassis specialists earlier today, leading to speculation that it could be the much-rumoured high-performance R version under development. However, closer inspection reveals this is the XKR-S ...

The pace of change is gathering momentum at Lotus. On Thursday we brought you the world’s first scoop shot of the new Eagle 2+2, today we have the latest pictures of the Esprit replacement. Lotus will show its range-topper in 2009 before sales start in 2010. This test mule is running a 4.4-litre V8. Could this be the BMW lump ...

BMW 7-series Hybrid

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 04 December 2007 11:05

This hearse looks vaguely familiar…   This is BMW’s new 7-series, and yes, we snapped it first in late 2006 when it broke cover in Germany. The car’s hefty disguise may not have changed much - but its location has. This prototype was caught less than a mile from Milford, GM's main proving ground in Michigan. Why? This is the hybrid petrol-electric ...

Range Rover 5.0 V8 (2008)

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 04 December 2007 10:17

I thought you said ‘new’ Land Rovers? We did. It’s what under the bonnet that’s new. This development hack may look like a standard Vogue, but take a look at the exhaust arrangement. Instead of the usual twin pipe layout, this Rangie gets a four-brancher. And that’s because it’s powered by a new 5.0-litre supercharged V8, a more powerful flagship ...

Maserati Coupe

Rated 0 out of 5

Phil McNamara, 24 August 2006 08:43

Maserati will launch a luxurious V8 grand tourer next year, derived from the Quattroporte saloon. The big two-door has turned up at the Nurburgring, as chassis tuning steps up a gear. It's a spacious four-seater: think Maserati's answer to the Ferrari 612 Scaglietti, but at an estimated £80,000, for around half the price. The GT is based on a cut-down ...
