Mercedes originally released the stunning SLS Coupe back in 2010, three years on and with its replacement round the corner they have updated the model line up with a GT spec. Power has been upped by 19 BHP to a whopping 582, torque stays the same but the 0-60 time drops by .1 to 3.6 […]
We had to finish driving the whole F-Type range, the only one that remained was the entry level V6. So what does the £58k F-Type give you? 335 BHP, 450 Nm of torque and a rather nippy 0-60 time of 5.1 seconds. I’ts 40 BHP down on the V6S and has a .3 second slower […]
We have previously driven the V6S, but recently the opportunity arose to drive the V8S as well….it would be rude not to, right? Jaguar’s V8S F-Type produces an astonishing 488 BHP (495PS) and 625 Nm of torque, all from its beasty 5.0 litre Supercharged engine. At £79,690 it sits at the top of the F-Type […]
Land Rover released the Evoque back in 2011 as a Coupé four wheel drive, but seeing as many of them are rarely used off road, how does the Evoque perform on road? We tested the SD4 2.2 litre Diesel with 187 BHP, in Prestige spec. With a starting price of £40,995 it sits in the […]
Last month I boldly strapped myself into a Smart fortwo cabrio BRABUS. With 102bhp and 147 NM of torque, you may not think that is particularly scary…..however, it is one of THE scariest cars I have ever driven! At an extortionate £17,930 you can own this exact baby Brabus, but be prepared to purchase a […]
We recently had the pleasure of driving the Toyota GT86, co-developed with Subaru, its being billed as a back to basics pure drivers car. The model we drove cost £27,795 which included nearly £3k of extra options. These were: Touch and go Sat-Nav at £750, Metallic paint at £450, and Leather/Alcantara heated sports seats, at […]
Yes, it’s true; if you want a car that gets looks absolutely everywhere, you need an RCZ. The common Audi TT has no attention drawing abilities anymore, they are ten a penny! We had the pleasure of driving the 1.6, 156BHP RCZ in GT spec. At £23,560 it is £2,350 more expensive than the basic […]
In a word – yes! I luckily got to drive the upcoming Electric Smart ForTwo yesterday. It was the first time the car has been bought over to the UK in right hand drive spec. It was massive fun to drive! When you think of electric cars, you ultimately think slow…..and limited range. The limited […]
