CAR magazine test-drives 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S

July 3rd 2008 11:15
2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S


UK motoring journal CAR magazine has test-driven the 2009 Porsche 911 Carrera S equipped with the company's first production double-clutch transmission - 25 years after its debut on their race cars - and direct injection on the famous flat six engine for the first time in its illustrious history.


Watch the following video to see road test editor Chris Chilton guide you through a test-drive of the facelifted 997 911 coupe and his thoughts on the new PDK transmission which in short, is one of the best dual-clutch transmissions he's ever driven despite the confusing nature of the steering wheel mounted shift buttons.

Video: Top Gear Mercedes-Benz CLK Black Series

July 2nd 2008 11:15
Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series


When Jeremy Clarkson says that a certain car is the best he's driven etc., you take it with a pinch of salt but when the Stig concurs with his sentiments, it's time to think "Hang on, maybe good ol' Jezza really is onto something".

The car in question is the Mercedes-Benz CLK 63 AMG Black Series - a special edition CLK tweaked by AMG's finest engineers to deliver exhilarating performance and handling for a road-going vehicle.




The CLK Black Series with its widebody kit and 6.2-litre V8 engine developing some 378 kW is scary enough as it is but wait till you hear what Mercedes writes to their customers in a letter that is delivered with the car!
