car - Audi R8 V10 Spyder (2017) review ► New Audi R8 V10 Spyder tested ► Capable of 0-62mph in 3.6sec ► On sale now for £128k It’s a bit dull, the Audi R8 Coupe, in my opinion. Hark! I can hear the understeer, and smell the burning oil, as  das Audi fanboys  career towards my house. Hold your horses; I am not saying it’s a bad car, not by any stretch. That sonorous V10, smooth ride, fabulous interior and staggering accessibility – even Pastor Maldonado could get it cleanly around a circuit – all count heavily in its favour.  Why so little love for the Coupe, then? As an everyday supercar, it excels. It is extremely proficient, refined and disciplined. It is also, as a result, terrifically  safe  and somewhat aloof .  Consequently, those looking for heart-trembling excitement may find it lacking. This new drop-top version, however, reinstates some of the thrill required to get the blood flowing. The fixed-roo...

car-Honda Ridgeline Black Edition AWD (2017) review ► Honda Ridgeline pick-up tested ► Naturally aspirated V6 and AWD ► 2017 model year US-market truck The extended version of  Honda’s  2010 Impossible Dream advert illustrated how Honda has built everything from motorbikes to sports cars, quad bikes to speed boats, private jets to robots. But no mention was made of a pick-up truck, perhaps because the advert was never shown in the US. Yet  Honda  has designed and manufactured the Ridgeline – often referred to as a ‘sports utility truck’ – in the US since 2005. The second-generation version was launched at the 2016 Detroit motor show, and  CAR  took the opportunity to drive the top-spec Black Edition AWD model during a recent trip Stateside. What platform is the Ridgeline based on? It’s Honda’s Global Light Truck platform, which features a multi-material mix consisting mainly of super-high- (19.3%) and high-strength steel (35.7%), with a l...

McLaren 540C (2017) review car news2017 ► McLaren 540C review ► It's the cheapest McLaren yet ► Full UK road test, specs  The 540C is McLaren’s least expensive car. As such there’s much that’s missing. It lacks the 650S’s Proactive Chassis Control, which replaces mechanical anti-roll bars (and their intrinsic compromise) with interlinked hydraulics for a plush ride with circuit-ready body control. A simpler kind of McLaren The 540C also uses iron brake discs rather than carbon-ceramics, and four-piston front calipers as opposed to the 570S’s six-piston units. It obviously also goes without the hybrid powertrains of either the P1 or McLaren’s MP4-31 F1 car (a relief in the case of the latter), and at 533bhp, 398lb ft and 199mph is down 29bhp, 45lb ft and 5mph on the £143,250 570S. The new McLaren 540C costs £128,550. The link between the McLaren 540C and its more senior peers What’s compelling though is just how much the 540C retains. McLaren’s ultra-stiff c...

Lexus LC500 prototype 2017 Think  Lexus , and you probably think whispering limousines, wailing hybrids and impeccable reliability and dealer service. But sporty? Not so much. Here comes the car to change your perceptions: the new 2017 Lexus LC 2+2 coupe. Underpinned by a clean-sheet chassis and powered by a naturally aspirated V8 or V6 petrol/electric hybrid, this grand tourer is a rival for the  BMW 6-series  and  Maserati GranTurismo . Does it deliver? Read our early prototype review to find out. The LC means business – and it comes from the top The LC was born out of adversity, experienced by none other than Akio Toyoda, company boss and member of Toyota’s ruling family. Reputedly, Toyoda was appalled when he unveiled the slab-sided, gaping grilled new  GS  in 2011 to a negative reception, including outright chuckling. Toyoda swiftly took control of the company’s premium brand, establishing it as a separate business unit wit...

Cupra Car News - 2017 Seat Ateca Cupra prototype spotted 2017 New spy shots have revealed Seat’s upcoming Ateca Cupra, a performance-focused SUV with a 286bhp punch, undergoing on-road trials in Barcelona.

It was also being driven by Dr. Matthias Rabe, head of research and development at Seat.

Car2Go Smart Fortwo, in Portland The Daimler-owned car-sharing operation Car2Go recently announced that it was massively reducing its coverage area around Portland, Oregon. According to the company, it’s simply a smart business move, one that will keep cars in areas where they’ll be more likely to be used frequently, and less likely to be ‘stranded.’ DON'T MISS:  Portland Car2Go Car-Sharing Fleet To Get Bike Racks But a number of local sources note that many of the 18-square-mile portions being cut from the service area  coincide with minority and lower-income areas --which may be most in need of more options for inexpensive transportation. The move dramatically cuts the area covered—from 52 square miles to 34 square miles—yet maintains the same number of vehicles currently in the Portland fleet (around 500 vehicles). “Through extensive market studies, we have found that vehicles remain idle four times longer in low usage areas, affecting the overall av...
