Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Pulman, 05 September 2008 15:28

For Porsche fans fed up with Carrera 4 cabriolets and Targa-top posing pouches, this brace of GT3s is a sight for sore eyes. Snapped in Spain, these four cars – including the new GT3 and an old-shape silver and orange GT3 RS – were taking a break from mountain pass blasting. What’s new on the Porsche 911 GT3? The track-biased ...

Snapped by CAR Online’s spies undergoing development work at the Nurburgring, this is the first time the Audi R8 Spider has broken cover and our pictures reveal the folding roof. Contrary to previous reports the R8 Spider won’t have a lift-out targa-style panel, but a folding ...

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 ...

Porsche 911 GT3 facelift

Rated 4 out of 5

Ben Whitworth, 06 May 2008 12:00

The latest Porsche 911 has been caught undergoing initial testing. Hot on the very brisk heels of the facelifted 997 – due on sale in July 2008 –  comes Porsche’s track-biased 911. At this stage it’s unclear whether the car snapped in our photos is the GT3, or the niche-within-a-niche GT3 RS. The front splitter, nose-mounted air vent and central ...

Audi will next year launch this open-top version of its R8 supercar. The Spider is one of a growing choice of R8s – buyers bored of the default 911 will soon be able to pick between two petrols and a V12 diesel, plus coupe or targa bodystyles. It’s typical of a car maker not exactly afraid of baffling buyers with ...

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 ...

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 ...
