Teamspeed Tests Race-Winning Audi R8 LMS

“Don’t crash it!” Those are the helpful last words I hear as the door is slammed shut. All other instructions were either muffled by my helmet or drowned out by the fast-idling V10 at my back. “Don’t crash it”, however, rings out sharp and clear like a report from a rifle. ‘It’ is an Audi […] More »

First Drive: Bentley Continental GT V8

Bentley is going green, with the ‘red label’ Continental GT V8. It may use less fuel but it’s even more of a car. There was some smart thinking at work on the launch of the Bentley Continental GT V8. We were to get our hands on the car for the first time at Northern Spain’s […] More »

First Drive: Mercedes-Benz G55 AMG

Over the last 15 years my job has afforded me the very great opportunity to drive the world’s best cars. I’ve made stops everywhere from Aston to Zonda with frequent visits to the lands of Ferrari, Lamborghini and Porsche. Hell, I’ve ever had a one night stand with a Veyron. McLaren F1 aside, there’s very […] More »

Track Test: The New BMW M5

At 250km/h (155mph) the big BMW is covering 67.5 meters every second. That’s 222 feet for you imperial blokes and something worth thinking about the next time you are standing in the end zone. The 200 meter braking marker flashes by in my peripheral vision as the speed limiter finally softens the mighty twin turbo […] More »

First Drive: 2012 Ferrari FF

You get the feeling that with the FF, Ferrari is keen to reverse the lack of respect or adulation its four-seater models have been afforded in the past compared with its leaner, meaner two-seat sports cars. Take a look at what’s been thrown at the FF: a thumping 6.3-litre V12 producing 486kW that will power […] More »

First Drive: Porsche Panamera GTS

It’s 12 hours before my appointment at the Ascari Race Resort in Spain, that surreal racetrack built by Dutchman Klaas Zwart for his own and friends’ amusement. Porsche has hired the facility for us to drive its new baby. It’s a bouncing, bonny baby. 4,300 pounds of Panamera, upgraded to make it a more finely […] More »
