Lamborghini Aventador Roadster vs Aventador coupe – full length challenge video

Two Aventadors. One test track. One question: which is better, a Lamborghini Aventador coupe or an Aventador Roadster? We see how far they can jump, how hard they can drift and how fast they really are.

We took two Lamborghini Aventadors to our favourite test track to answer some of our more outrageous questions. Can a Lamborghini Aventador Roadster jump further than its coupe brother; which makes the more intoxicating noise, which is best for drifting and, of course, which is faster? Let the battle commence.

Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series vs Jaguar XKR-S GT vs Aston Martin V12 Vantage S: supercoupe shootout

It’s the battle of the latest super coupes. Can the track-focused Jaguar XKR-S GT and hot new Aston Martin V12 Vantage S put our current favourite, the sublime Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series, to the sword?

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

Supercharged V8 plays V12 plays naturally aspirated V8. The Jaguar XKR-S GT is the most potent version of its flagship XK coupe ever, and no more than 50 will ever be built. The Aston Martin V12 Vantage S is the ultimate incarnation of the firm’s beautiful Vantage. But are either powerful or delicate enough to unseat our favourite super coupe, the Mercedes C63 AMG Black Series?

Riding shotgun in the new 2015 Porsche Macan SUV on road and off road

The new Porsche Macan will launch in Europe in April 2014, and is set to become one of Porsche’s biggest sellers. We ride with the development team to see if the Macan can live up to its badge.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The new Porsche Macan is planned to become the German marque’s best-selling model, and will launch in April to take on the likes of the BMW X3, and the forthcoming X4, and Range Rover Evoque in Europe.

The car may be based on the Audi Q5 platform, but company engineers believe they have done enough to make the Macan very different to drive. It is sharp enough, they say, for the Macan to be called a ‘sports car’. We take to the passenger seat with Porsche’s engineers to find out if the Macan can live up to the hype.

Is the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S the best Aston Martin yet?

Forget the Aston Martin Vanquish: the V12 Vantage S is Aston Martin’s real range-topper. It has a V12 at the front sending power to the rear, and very little interferes with the fun. Mark Tisshaw reports.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

Any great drive requires three elements: a great road, great road conditions and a great car. And one of the greatest in 2013 was in the Aston Martin V12 Vantage S. Anyone who says there are no such things as decent driving roads in America has not been to a mountain pass a couple of hundred miles inland from Los Angeles. On these perfect surfaces, under cloudless skies and amid zero traffic, the V12 Vantage S showed us everything that we’d ever wanted an Aston to be.

On the trail of the Bentley boys in the Bentley Blue Train

In 1930, Bentley Boy Woolf Barnato bet £100 that he could race the famous Le Train Bleu from Cannes to London before the train could reach Calais. 83 years on, Steve Cropley tells the story.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

In January 1930 Rover claimed its Light Six had gone faster the Le Train Bleu, one of the world’s most luxurious trains, which ran from Cannes in the south of France to Calais in the north. One evening at dinner, Bentley Boy Woofe Barnato said that was nothing special, and he could race the Blue Train, reach Calais, cross the English Channel and reach the Conservative Club in London before the train arrived in Calais. He succeeded with four minutes to spare. Here, Steve Cropley retraces the Bentley Boys’ London haunts in the very car than Barnato made the journey.

Lola T70 replica vs McLaren MP4-12C: the ultimate production and kit cars

If you’re going to take inspiration from a race car, you may as well borrow from the Lola T70 — the world’s fastest race car in 1966. But can the GD T70 Spyder beat a McLaren 12C?

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

Built by Lola, raced in the Can-Am championship by John Surtees, the Lola T70 is one of the most beautiful race cars ever made. So it was a good point to start when Gardner Douglas began development of its T70 Spyder. It weighs just 900kg, but develops up to 700bhp from a range of GM V8 engines. But can it outhandle one of the world’s most able series production supercars, the McLaren MP4-12C? Steve Sutcliffe takes to the track to find out.

Range Rover Sport vs speedway world champion

Autocar pits the 503bhp supercharged Range Rover Sport against Tai Woffinden, the youngest ever speedway world champion. Can Woffinden lap the Sport before he runs out of his tiny reserves of fuel? You bet he can…

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The Range Rover Sport is well-known as one of the sportiest, most agile cars of its breed, but with Autocar road tester Matt Prior behind the wheel even that’s no match for the talents of Woffinden and his 60bhp speedway bike on the tight, shale covered confines of a speedway track. The challenge is to find out if Woffinden can lap the Range Rover Sport before his bike runs out of methanol – something that normally takes four or five laps at the Leicester track. The race is on… but with Woffinden on-song, the verdict’s never in doubt.

AC Cobra drag race: can an XCS Fusion outrun a Jaguar XKR-S?

Not all AC Cobra replicas are created equal. Autocar’s Steve Sutcliffe pitches a 550bhp XCS Fusion against a Jaguar XKR-S to find out just how potent they can be.

SUBSCRIBE to Autocar: http://smarturl.it/autocar

The XCS Fusion Cobra replica has been design by the team behind the Dax Rush, and features the patented anti-roll system from the aforementioned Caterham Seven clone. It also happens to feature a tubular spaceframe chassis and switchable electrically assisted steering. Oh, and a Chevrolet LS3 V8, which with the aid of a supercharger, develops up to 639bhp. And the car weighs 1080kg, resulting in a Bugatti Veyron-beating 590bhp per tonne. It’s quick, certainly, but can it beat the Jaguar XKR-S in a drag race?
