CAST A QUICK eye over our ratings at the back of this magazine for the current Porsche line-up and you’ll soon be overwhelmed by superlatives. The Boxster is “scarily brilliant”, the Cayman “a five-star car by any measure”, the 911 “more than worthy of its iconic status”… and it goes on, all the way to the Macan and Cayenne SUVs and Panamera.

As you’ll read in our scoop story (p10), Porsche is pushing ahead with an expansion and redefinition of its sports car line-up, as well as squaring up to the thorny issue of selling turbocharged engines in ‘normal’ 911s later this year. Casting aside 52 years of naturally aspirated heritage would be daunting for most car companies, but Porsche has navigated choppier waters with barely a wobble in recent years.

It might be tempting to take Porsche’s consistent high standards for granted, but that would be a mistake. At the heart of this company is a steely focus on engineering

brilliance, and while that may not set the pulse racing like some of the more haphazard offerings from more flamboyant rivals, it underpins what will surely be viewed by history as a golden era for the firm.

Porsche’s most extreme 911 GT3 rS yet will be unveiled at the Geneva motor show

next month and kick-start a radical transformation in the manufacturer’s two-door model ranges, reaffirming its commitment to the sporting cars on which its name was built.

In addition to the Cayman GT4 revealed last week, further new models will join the existing boxster and Cayman line-ups, and the 911 will receive the greatest

conceptual shake-up since swapping air for water cooling in 1997. There will also be a new 918 Spyder and a brand-new supercar that will take Porsche into uncharted waters.

first up is the new 911 GT3 rS. It will be unveiled on the eve of the Geneva show on 2 March, nine months after its original launch date was put back by the need to address the engine fire issue that had afflicted the standard GT3.

Porsche’s boss of research and development, Wolfgang Hatz, is promising “the biggest

gap yet” between an rS model and the GT3 version upon which it is based.

although the new car, like all other rS models, will be lighter than the GT3, most of the interest will focus on its aerodynamics — which are said to provide a new level of downforce for a road-going 911 — and an all-new engine producing around 500bhp. for comparison, the standard GT3 model has 468bhp.

Porsche hasn’t revealed the look of the 911 GT3 rS, but spy photographs suggest it will

join the 911 Turbo in using the widest of the three 911 bodies and will have air intakes in the rear wings and lift-reducing air outlets above the front wheels.

Winter weather has precluded the setting of representative lap times

around the Nürburgring during the car’s recent development. However, Porsche’s simulations show the 911 GT3 rS to be comfortably capable of lapping in under 7min 20sec, raising the possibility of it at least matching the 7min

Porsche plots bold sports car future New V8 supercar n Mainstream models go turbo

18sec lap recorded by the most powerful 911 to date, the 611bhp twin-turbo GT2 rS of 2011.

It is not yet known whether the GT3 rS will be offered with a manual gearshift, a PDK dual-clutch automatic or a choice. Porsche appeared to have abandoned three-pedal GT models when it made the 911 GT3 PDK only, but it seems to have had second thoughts, making the Cayman GT4 available exclusively with a manual gearbox for now.

a PDK transmission seems the most likely because it is

vital for the all-important Nürburgring lap time, but the choice of a manual option is now believed to be a distinct possibility, as opposed to non-existent.

However, it is Porsche’s decision to design a new engine for the GT3 rS that is the most significant development. That’s because by the end of the year and in a rather different state of tune, this new engine will also be standard issue in all conventional 911s. What’s more, and unlike in the GT3 rS, all ‘normal’ 911s ◊

∆ that use this engine will be

turbocharged.

Porsche has yet to reveal

the size or power output of

the new unit, but the use

of forced induction for the

standard 911 after 52 years of

normal aspiration is motivated

far more by the need to

reduce fuel consumption and

emissions than to provide

additional power.

The engine is expected to

deliver a modest power boost,

substantially more torque

and significantly better CO2

emissions and fuel economy.

However, don’t expect a

new naming strategy. There

are turbocharged models in

both the Macan and Cayenne

ranges that do not bear ‘Turbo’

badging, so expect the same

approach for the new 911.

The new engines will arrive

this autumn complete with

the other, less significant

enhancements of a standard

mid-life refresh. There is a

four-cylinder version of the

new engine that was for a long

time considered for the 911,

but Hatz concluded that a 911

must have a flat six motor, so

the four-pot will be restricted

to the boxster and Cayman.

That said, there is a

precedent for a four-cylinder

911, Porsche producing just

such a car (called the 912)

between 1965 and 1969.

During that time, more than

30,000 units were sold,

making the cut-price entry-

level model a considerable

success, so perhaps it should

not be ruled out for ever.

at the other end of the

scale, a limited-edition GT2

rS is on the cards. Just 500

examples of the previous one

were made and sold out in two

months, despite a £165,000

price. “Our customers always

tell us they want more power,”

said Hatz. “at Porsche, we

listen to our customers.”

However, the new GT2 rS

is likely to be scheduled for

the end of the current 911’s

lifecycle, making it at least

two years away.

In the meantime, Porsche is

also working on a brand-new

supercar to compete with the

likes of the ferrari 488 GTb

and McLaren 675LT. Hatz has

said it will be ready by the end

of the decade “at the latest”.

Details are patchy, but the

car is believed to feature the

brand-new V8 motor already

in development for the new

Panamera, its 928-replacing

two-door variant and the

next Cayenne.

Mounted amidships behind

the driver, the engine is likely

to follow current thinking

and derive its power as

much from turbocharging

as its displacement. It is not

yet known whether the car

will feature any degree of

hybridisation, but it is clear

that this is not a replacement

for the 918 Spyder hypercar

but a standard, production

model. Hatz has, however,

also confirmed that a new 918

will eventually be built.

Porsche’s decision to turbocharge even the standard 911 has little to do with what it regards as the best way to perpetuate the legend of the world’s most famous sports car and rather more to do with being lumbered with more than its fair share of heavy lifting when it comes to reducing the co2 emissions of the entire Volkswagen Group fleet, of which Porsche is a part.

But Porsche will be happy to do it for the same reason that it was happy to extend the wheelbase of the 911 and equip it with electric steering: the typical 911 customer doesn’t actually want a traditional 911 but a fast and capable coupé that bears the image of the 911. Whether that in time leads to exclusively turbocharged caymans and Boxsters is another question, but we think it’s less likely in these more driver-orientated models.

Porsche will also have calculated that it can do all this with its mainstream models so long as it continues to make hardcore driving machines, too. these cars are not just for their diehard owners, but also to send a clear signal that Porsche has not lost touch with its roots. so the more the staple Porsche range follows mainstream thinking, the more mad motorsport-derived models will be needed to balance it, hence the 911 Gt3 rs, cayman Gt4 and upcoming hot Boxster.

new 500bhp Gt3 rs will be unveiled in March and followed this autumn by the second-generation ‘991’ 911, featuring a new range of turbocharged engines based on the new motor designed for the rs. A flat six configuration will be retained without hybridisation, which Porsche feels to be more useful in cars like the cayenne and Panamera.

CAymAN

new £64,451, 380bhp flagship cayman Gt4 will be joined at the other end of the range by a new four-cylinder entry-level model. the new engine, which is two-thirds of the new flat six, should displace around 2.0 litres but will be turbocharged to provide “proper Porsche performance”.

BOxsTER

this will also receive the new four-cylinder engine. Moreover, there will be a new variant that’s likely to be the most sporting model in the current range. tipped as a replacement for the popular spyder of 2011, the car — possibly bearing the club sport name — is expected to have a little more power and a lot less weight.

918 REPLACEmENT AND A NEW sUPERCAR

now that the 918 has sold out, its place as the Porsche flagship will be taken by the new mid-engined supercar, due to break cover by the end of the decade. having proved that it can sell 918 units of a car for which conventional wisdom suggested there should be only about 500 buyers, Porsche is sure to replace it, but only after a suitable gap. typically, Ferrari spaces its hypercars at 10-year intervals.

ThE nEw FoRd Focus RS’s

pioneering four-wheel drive

system will be installed in more

cars, raising the prospect of

other performance-orientated

all-wheel-drive Ford models.

Ford’s all-wheel drive with

dynamic Torque Vectoring

system is the most significant

mechanical upgrade for the

new Focus RS over previous

generations of the car, both of

which were front-wheel drive.

“we’ve done the hard part

in developing it to production,”

said RS engineering manager

Tyrone Johnson. “It would be

fair to suggest that we’ll be

looking to use the technology

in other ways.”

The awd system is based

around twin electronically

controlled clutch packs

alongside the ‘Rear drive

unit’. The Rdu operates like

a limited-slip differential and

uses sensors that monitor

conditions 100 times per

second to distribute power

continuously between the

front and back wheels and on

either side of the rear axle. up

to 100% of the available torque

can be sent to either wheel.

The system diverts torque

to the outer rear wheel

during cornering, aiding

turn-in and stability. Ford

says this “virtually eliminates

understeer”, and that lateral

grip in excess of 1g is possible.

another staple aspect of the

Ford RS range will be manual

gearboxes. The firm’s global

product development boss,

Raj nair, confirmed that the

Focus RS will retain a six-speed

manual ’box. “our current

research says customers really

like these kinds of cars to have

a manual gearbox,” he said.

Suzuki fixes Celerio brake faultThe firm says it has solved the problem that caused brake failures in Autocar and What Car? tests


Suzuki is working to

resolve an issue with the

braking system on its

new Celerio hatchback,

following brake failure on two

cars during testing by What

Car? and Autocar.

A Suzuki spokesperson told

Autocar: “We have a solution

to the problem. It has been

worked on within Suzuki

Motor Corporation.” More

details about the fix and when

it will be carried out on the

affected cars will be made

available soon.

It is understood that the

failure is within the brake

pedal assembly and that the

affected part is fitted to only

right-hand-drive Celerios

sold in the UK, the Republic

of Ireland, Australia and New

Zealand. Cars sold in India

and Thailand are not affected,

Suzuki has confirmed.

“With regards to UK cars,

we established that 37 had

left dealers. We captured

them very quickly and they

are all off the road,” said the

spokesperson. “We also halted

all dealer demonstrations and

other related events.”

Suzuki’s attention was

drawn to the problem following

independent Autocar and

What Car? testing of its new

budget hatchback. During

an emergency stop test, the

Celerio’s brakes failed entirely,

with the brake pedal remaining

in the fully depressed position

yet having no effect on the

car’s speed.

Suzuki promptly arranged

for collection and inspection of

the failed car and also supplied

a second car so that testing

could continue. However, the

second car suffered the same

failure and the matter was

then quickly escalated within

the company.

INFINITI LINES UP BMW X1 RIVAL

Infiniti has released a teaser image of its new

QX30 compact crossover. The model will

be launched at the Geneva show as a thinly

veiled concept before going into production at

Sunderland as a rival to BMW’s X1 and Audi’s Q3.

MORGAN HAS ‘NEW SUPERCAR’

Morgan will launch what it calls “a new supercar”

at the Geneva show next month. A single image

is the only clue to the identity of the new model.

The picture suggests it could be related to the

Aeromax and Aero Supersports vehicles.

Honda has released the

first official details of its

new Civic Type R ahead

of its Geneva motor show

debut early next month.

The top speed has been

provisionally confirmed as

167mph, which would be enough

to make the Civic Type R

class-leading against its front-

wheel-drive hot hatch peers.

Power will come from a

turbocharged 2.0-litre VTEC

engine. Outputs have yet to be

confirmed, but insiders have

previously quoted figures of

300bhp and 300lb ft.

Helping the Civic Type R

to reach that top speed are

several aerodynamic aids,

sculpted as a result of both

extensive wind tunnel testing

and computer simulations.

Honda promises “exceptional

high-speed stability and high

levels of downforce” from

these features, which include a

flat underside, a front splitter,

rear diffuser, large rear wing

and deep side skirts. The front

bumper has also been designed

to cut turbulence at the front

wheels, reducing drag.

The complete car is not

visible in any single image

that Honda has released,

but cropped pictures reveal

a 7000rpm redline for the

engine on the rev counter, as

well as a ‘+R’ button next to the

steering wheel that improves

engine responsiveness,

tweaks the torque mapping

to a more aggressive and

performance-focused setting,

increases the responsiveness

of the steering and stiffens the

adaptive dampers.

Another cropped image

reveals the 19in alloy wheels

fitted to the Civic Type R and

low-profile Continental

tyres. Stopping power

is provided by a high-

performance Brembo braking

system, with 350mm discs and

four-piston calipers up front.

The styling is understood to

be little different from that of

the extreme-looking Civic Type

R concept, pictured here and

seen at the Geneva and Paris

motor shows last year.

The look of the car is also

guided by the need to provide

THE NEW HYUNDAI Tucson

will make its global debut at

the Geneva show next month

and has been previewed in

this official design sketch.

The Tucson compact

SUV will replace the ix35

in Hyundai’s line-up. It is

described as “a big step

forward for the Hyundai

brand globally” by the firm’s

design boss, Peter Schreyer,

who also said the model “has

a bold and athletic presence

and a proud stance”.

The sketch shows that

the new five-door Tucson

will carry many of the

design hallmarks seen in the

Hyundai range, in particular

the firm’s large central grille,

as seen on the new Genesis.

Hyundai retired the Tucson

name in Europe in 2010 with

the launch of the ix35. The

name’s return reflects the

fact that the new SUV will be

sold in global markets.

Production of the ix35 is

due to finish this summer,

Autocar understands, so the

Tucson is likely to be on sale

before the end of the year.

Hyundai sister firm Kia is

also preparing a new version

of the Sportage, which will

share its underpinnings with

the new Tucson.

The Sportage will take

styling cues from the KX3

concept shown last year,

even though the KX3

previewed a model aimed at

the Chinese market.

The disguised test mule

(right) features Kia’s large

‘tiger nose’ grille and

redesigned headlights and

tail-lights. It is also expected

to get a revised rear bumper.

A new powertrain option

will be offered in the Sportage

alongside revised versions

of the current 1.6-litre petrol

and 1.7-litre and 2.0-litre

diesel engines. This could

be either a pure electric

powertrain or a three-

cylinder engine, but a plug-in

hybrid system is unlikely.

MCLAREN 675LT TO JOIN 650S

The new McLaren 675LT will generate 40% more downforce than the 650S, alongside which it will sit in the McLaren Super Series. The 675LT is to join the core range of McLaren supercars as a more track-focused alternative to the 650S and, as such, will have a range of performance enhancements.

The new model produces 666bhp and 516lb ft from its 3.8-litre twin-turbo V8, which has been revised and features lightweight components and new turbos.

The 675LT will be revealed in full at the Geneva motor show next month.

development policy away

from developing regional

to suit all world markets.

According to well-

develop models suitable

for sale around the world.

The fact that tastes are

driving Honda’s decision.

This is the same

strategy that Ford has

adopted with its ‘One Ford’

plan, and has long been

pursued by most premium

manufacturers, but it runs

counter to the tactics

employed by the very

successful Hyundai-Kia

combine.

Honda is also likely to

source each major model

from only one plant in

future, the factory in

producing only that model.

Renault says it will launch five new cars in 2015. announcing the move at the unveiling of the

french firm’s new Kadjar SuV, renault-Nissan boss Carlos Ghosn said renault will bring a new a-segment car, a D-segment saloon and a new pick-up truck to market this year to join the already revealed Kadjar and espace.

renault’s plans to introduce a new, back-to-basics model in the same vein as the Citroën C4 Cactus were revealed in December with the Value up concept car. although at the time renault said the model would not make it to production, it’s known that

elements from the concept — including its new platform — could be used to inform the next generation of renault’s a-segment city cars.

any new model in the D-segment for renault is likely to herald the return of the Laguna name. Previously, renault officials have told autocar that the next Laguna will come with “fluid and emotional” styling, echoing themes seen on the firm’s Captur, Clio, Twingo and Zoe.

The reinvented espace was revealed at the Paris motor show in September last year, with the MPV morphing into more of a crossover shape. although the car will be

available in both five-seat and seven-seat guises, neither option will come to the uK in the short term.

Ghosn believes the Kadjar crossover, renault’s version of the Nissan Qashqai, will give the renault-Nissan alliance “a scale advantage no one can match” once it reaches full production in Spain and China.

Speaking exclusively to autocar after unveiling the Kadjar in Paris last week, Ghosn described the car as “an extremely strong product” and “a huge opportunity for renault”. However, he was evasive about predicting the size of its success.

Could this become the

best-selling Renault of all?

“That’s hard to say. We’ve tested it with customers and distributors and the response has been extremely strong. It reminds us of the response we had to its sister, the Captur crossover, before that model went on sale. and as you know, Captur now leads its class in france and across europe.

“What I can say is that Kadjar will be great at

competing with our rivals. It shares a common platform with Qashqai, and this means we can compete with the world’s biggest car companies. Our competitiveness in terms of investment and parts cost should be close to the best.”

How important is the Kadjar’s

styling to its success?

“It’s vital. This game will be played on the attractiveness of the product. We believe Kadjar has the same styling appeal as Captur, but we have no customers yet, so we can’t be certain. With Captur, we had very good feedback, but it was nothing compared with what we have achieved in sales.”

Do you believe the crossover

market will last?

“It will remain strong. These models offer great versatility, and all our research tells us people really enjoy that. Whether the trend will last 10 or 15 years I can’t say, but for the foreseeable future — which means the next four or five years — we think demand will be strong, not just in europe but around the world. Cars like

these make up one sale in four across the world, and one in three in China.”

How are recent currency shifts

affecting your companies?

“The volatility began two years ago, and the effect then was negative on both our revenues and our income. even though the euro has recently moved ‘the right way’ against the pound and dollar, we’re still in adverse territory because of really large declines in russia and argentina.”

How bad are things in Russia?

“everyone is hurting. The market was down 11 per cent last year and is forecast to drop another 20 per cent this year. That’s a third of it, gone in two years. People usually scream when there’s a four or five per cent decline, so you can see just how bad it is. but we will adapt. The potential of russia is still there. We must maintain a readiness for the take-off that is coming. It is just a matter of time.”

They’ve finally done it, then. After years of holding back the full potential of the Cayman, and tacitly

admitting as much, Porsche’s management team have finally given the company’s engineers the nod to let the mid-engined sports car be all it can be.

The Cayman GT4, which will be officially unveiled at the Geneva motor show next month, will be the first Cayman to get more power than a new 911. At 380bhp, the GT4 is 35bhp more powerful than a ‘base’ 911 Carrera, hitherto territory that a Cayman has been disallowed to chart, in case it sailed across the path of Porsche’s larger, rear-engined car.

For more than half a century, Porsche has so carefully managed the physics of a car with an engine behind its rear axle that it has remained the finest sports car in production.

For the past decade, meanwhile, it has carefully managed the output of the

inherently better balanced Cayman, so that it doesn’t pinch sales from its larger, more profitable brother.

But this moment has, slowly, been coming. The 2011 Cayman R was the first Cayman to get a better power-to-weight ratio and torque-to-weight ratio than a 911. It was brilliant – so brilliant that we named it Britain’s Best Driver’s Car that year.

Even so, the R was more Cayman ‘Plus’ than Cayman ‘GT3’ in character – enhanced Cayman road car rather than

cut-price, stripped-out racer. The only way you’d have been disappointed with that was if you expected it to be like one of Porsche’s motorsport-derived cars instead.

I wonder, though, whether ultimately that made the R more likely to trouble the minds of those who were wondering whether they’d like to buy a Porsche with the engine in the back or the middle. Yes, they were different, but both made fine everyday sports/GT cars.

I imagine there will be no such concerns this time around. If you’re thinking about buying a 911 Carrera, the fact that there is a more powerful Cayman out there for less money is less likely to be factor when the Cayman in question sits 30mm lower than standard, on 911 GT3 suspension, and has bucket seats from the 918 Spyder hypercar. It should be, in other words, extremely raw, and not like an entry-level 911 at all. This 991-generation Carrera has been nudged a little more towards the grand touring spectrum than ever, and my suspicion is that the GT4 will therefore not affect 911 Carrera sales one iota.

The only question now is whether the GT4 is good enough to alter the course of the 911 GT3. Or, more pertinent, given that the GT3 can only be had with a dual-clutch automatic gearbox and the GT4 is manual only, whether it already has.

Cayman GT4 will be raw enough to distance

it from a standard 911

cars. What’s your current view

of the market? “I’m predicting steady growth from present levels. at first, we were impatient for bigger sales than we see today, but I still believe the market will pick up, little by little. Sales will accelerate from time to time as emissions laws, which are only going in one direction, tighten further.

“Technically, electric cars are a big success. They are accepted worldwide and they’re the only serious option as zero-emissions vehicles. Other alternatives lack maturity and cost-effectiveness. So I believe the eV is going in the right direction.”

Do you need to have more

electric models?

“We don’t believe it’s a question of adding more cars, although the models we make have a natural lifecycle, so you’ll see them being renewed. Our advantage is that we were first in the sector. We have the best understanding of the market and lots of knowledge about how people actually use electric cars.”

Don’t you need more Renault

and Nissan hybrids and

plug-ins to support your EVs?

“One type isn’t a rival for another. an electric car maker needs a variety of technologies to meet the emissions challenge, but some push particular technologies more than others. you will see some hybrids in our line-up. but we’re going to continue to promote the eV market because we think it makes up one of the biggest untapped market areas in the world today.”

Renault boss Carlos Ghosn is impressive

for his laser focus

Hyundai i10 is a cracking little car

THIS WEEK


MONDAY

Wonderful week for new cars. Started with a day trip to Paris to watch Renault chief Carlos Ghosn unveil the new Kadjar crossover, which follows the familiar modern pattern of being an appealing model with a funny name, because all decent ‘handles’ have been taken. In a quick one-to-one, I found Ghosn surprisingly cagey about the car’s sales potential – more cagey than I would be on his behalf, because the model looks great and its underbits are not only well proven, but proven desirable by record-breaking sales of the Qashqai, the Kadjar’s Nissan twin.

Interviewing someone like Ghosn is nerve-wracking, because his answers are so fact-packed and precisely edited that you need all your concentration either to pick up on what he’s just said or to move to a new subject and make best use of your time available. Up close, Ghosn seems so focused that he makes a magnifying glass look like the bottom of a Coke bottle. But I can’t help wondering how this extraordinary bloke, around whom an industry revolves, will cope with retirement, only a handful of years away.

TUESDAY AM

Quick sojourn on favourite roads in a 3.6-metre surprise package called the Hyundai i10, my favourite of the current tinies. One minute it feels big (cruising motorways), the next it feels small (when you’re sticking it down country lanes at speeds that would daunt

anything bigger and wider). Fully loaded, an i10 costs a paltry £10,800, yet you could drive it around the world in ease and comfort, enjoying every mile.

TUESDAY PM

Uplifting hacks’ dinner with Honda UK boss Philip Crossman and his management team, who laid out an impressive UK recovery strategy that involves launching six new cars in the next six months: CR-V, Civic, Civic Type R, HR-V, Jazz and NSX. That’s quite a line-up.

Crossman’s concern is that Honda, which makes 4.4 million cars a year and spends a cool £3.5 billion on R&D, is unfairly seen in the UK as a failing enterprise, because in recent years it has been hit by a catastrophic decline in the yen

plus a couple of huge natural disasters that decimated key factories and delayed vital products. Business abruptly halved from the halcyon, 100,000-a-year days of 2007-2008. Better times are coming, though, and for this closet Honda fan (11 Honda motorbikes and counting) that’s exciting.

WEDNESDAY

Morning pow-wow to put the finishing touches to Autocar’s bigger, better motorsport coverage, which is about to begin. Rather than running a sport column, we’ve decided to dedicate the space (and more) to features and track tests that will embrace both F1 and other fascinating codes and characters. We’re well stocked with ideas, but if you have a suggestion burning a hole in your pocket, as it were, our

head of content, Matt Burt ([email protected]), would love to hear it.

THURSDAY

Up early to beat the traffic on a trip to Lotus to try the new paddle-shift Exige S. It’s not exactly a new car, but there hasn’t been a two-pedal version before. High-achieving Lotus boss Jean-Marc Gales (who is about to deliver the first stage of his promised expansion by hiking his first year’s sales by 63% to 2000-plus units) reckons the model could add as much as 40% to Exige volume, because Far Eastern demand for self-shifters is so strong. I found the car perfect for beating up the ancient, skinny roads of Norfolk; in a car weighing not much more than a tonne and with 345bhp, it helps to be able to keep two hands on the wheel.

Audi TT Roadster 2.0 TFSI 3.2.15, Palma, Majorca TT gains open-air appeal at the expense of two rear seats and little else

You want an Audi TT. You like a bit of open-air action, but you’re worried that opting for the fabric roof – at a premium of

about £1700 over the coupé – might make the whole thing feel a bit soggy to drive. Well, fear not.

Measures have been taken to ensure that removing the roof doesn’t also remove the fun. These include the use of extra moulded aluminium struts around the base of the A-pillars, sides and underside. In total, the revisions have added about 90kg to the already fairly lightweight and rigid TT. The roadster’s roof, which weighs a modest 39kg, can be raised or lowered at road speeds of up to 31mph in just 10 seconds.

This 2.0 TFSI will be the biggest-selling engine, and we’re driving it complete with front-wheel drive and a six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, a combination that will be available to order from next month.

It is impressive how unaffected

the TT is by its roof removal. Sure, you get the odd quiver through the body over awkward camber changes and rutted, undulating surfaces, but during road use the roadster is virtually as good to drive as the coupé, and that’s saying something.

The light, variable-ratio steering gets quicker as you apply more lock, making it easy to execute dramatic direction changes with precision, just as it also makes light work of an urban mooch. There are more communicative, natural-feeling steering set-ups out there, but the TT gives you confidence in what the front wheels are doing and how much grip there is to play with.

Even in this front-wheel-drive model, grip is not something that’s in short supply. Of course, you’ll get plenty of understeer if you plough into a corner too quickly, but the TT is poised and grippy, with good brake feel to help get the weight balanced properly. The only uncouth attribute this car has is its tendency to spin its

wheels very easily under moderate to heavy throttle inputs in anything but bone-dry conditions. Adding Audi’s quattro four-wheel drive (for about £2000 extra, and only with the S tronic gearbox) sorts this out and could be worth it if you deal with dodgy rural roads frequently. Even with quattro, the TT’s first response in heavy cornering is to understeer,

This week’s new cars

FIRST DRIVES


but appropriate throttle feathering cures that, and you can even tickle it into lift-off oversteer.

The roadster has a slightly different damper set-up from the coupé’s, and the resulting ride cushions the worst bumps while restraining untoward body roll. Certainly, on Majorca’s impressively smooth roads, it seems that the standard set-up is more than good enough to make the S line suspension or optional adaptive dampers unnecessary additions.

This engine is really flexible and delivers vigorous thrust from low revs, accompanied by a reverberant, hollow moo from the exhaust that entices you to stretch through the rasping tones of the upper revs.

We’d go for a manual gearbox, simply because it’s more fun, but for those more conscious of ease of use than driver reward, the S tronic slurs through the ratios smoothly and is quick-witted and enjoyable with a bit of flappy-paddle action.

Refinement is no barrier to daily enjoyment. The fabric roof is heavily insulated and keeps wind noise to a subdued flutter, although you get a fair bit of wind coming over the back deck with the top down, so it’s a shame that the retractable wind deflector is a £425 option. Rear visibility is hampered by the roof when it’s up, too.

The dashboard is a wondrously high-tech affair that is unchanged from the coupé, so you get the huge digital display that encompasses the crucial dials and all ancillary readouts within the driver’s binnacle.

The comically tiny back seats of the coupé make way here for an enclosed area into which the roof neatly tucks itself, leaving a useful 280 litres of boot space (down from 305 litres in the tin-top) – more than enough for normal daily use.

Overall, if you’re in the market for this TT, you’re probably considering it against lower-end petrol versions of the Mercedes-Benz SLK or BMW

Z4 and, on this evidence, we’d say the TT is the better package.

It’s not the last word in dynamic zing, but then neither are its rivals, and the Audi is a lot of fun while also being easy-going. It has all of the practical and financial boxes ticked,

There’s lots of Alcantara inside but none on the steering wheel; the turbocharged V6 delivers plenty of performance from low revs

QUICK FACTSPRICE £72,523

ON SALE EARLY MARCH

Our experience of the latest Porsche Cayenne, in all its forms, continues. This time around, in Sweden of all places,

it’s the turn of the GTS, the wilfully sporty (but not the fastest) version of Porsche’s best-selling model.

For most people, the standard Cayenne is plenty sporty enough. Even the diesel-engined variants tend to feel seriously brisk. With the GTS, however, the Porsche engineers assume you’re a special kind of patriarchal head case and perform a series of tweaks that include lowering and stiffening the steel coil-sprung suspension (slightly less if you opt for air springs).

The aim is tighter body control and superior lateral grip. Previously, this racier attitude came with perfectly matched propulsion in the shape of Porsche’s naturally aspirated 4.8-litre V8 – a combination that positively radiated performance heft.

Predictably, that engine is now considered as dirty and as outdated as an oil-burning street light and has been replaced with the same twin-turbo 3.6-litre V6 that we’ve sampled in the cheaper Cayenne S.

Except that it isn’t quite same, because Porsche has tweaked the software code to get an additional 20bhp out of it – 20bhp more, in fact, than the old V8 developed. It does this while emitting about 23g/km less CO2 and managing greater distances between fuel stops.

It also makes the car handily lighter – by about 120kg over the latest Turbo. The GTS also has the 20in RS Spyder alloy wheels, deeper sills, fatter arches and larger air intakes that typically go with the badge.

Inside, mostly thanks to the Alcantara on the doors, pillars and rooflining, the GTS feels expensively athletic, like wearing a Gore-Tex-lined trail shoe. Not covering the

steering wheel in the stuff seems like a missed opportunity, though.

Like all Cayennes, it’s as well insulated as a hobbit hole and just as snug. Sweden’s snow-covered roads are not the best place to evaluate ride quality, but the suggestion is that the GTS chassis compromise is very well judged indeed.

The V6 engine follows suit. It’s responsive, eager and far quicker than the old V8 from low revs. It’s very refined, too. Twinned with an excellent eight-speed automatic gearbox, the accumulation of crank speed would almost be syrupy if it weren’t accompanied by so much torque – 442lb ft from just 1600rpm.

The engine isn’t shy at the top end, either, although above 5000rpm, where the torque spirals away, is possibly where an enthusiast might start to pick holes. Its last 1500rpm is a determined, slightly restrained final emptying of the lungs. So

particularly keen drivers no longer have such a compelling reason to sample the engine’s redline, which, if nothing else, makes it that bit harder to differentiate the model from its stablemates.

That distinctiveness is clearly crucial when you consider the premium the GTS commands over the car that shares its engine. The Cayenne S, only modestly less punchy, is about £12k cheaper.

Obviously, there’s trim and spec levels to consider, but the improved handling characteristics on offer are impossible to judge on snow. As a result, our final verdict on the GTS is still very much to come. NIC CACKETT

New 2 looks and feels much better inside than its predecessor; 1.5-litre engine rewards those willing to rev it, but it’s quite vocal


ON SALE MARCH

Early drives in the new Mazda 2 have revealed it to be a very fine supermini indeed, but not quite a class-leading one – the seemingly

unstoppable Ford Fiesta entering a seventh year as leader of the class.

Ahead of the new 2’s imminent UK launch, we’ve now had a chance to sample another, more potent flavour of it, those earlier drives having been limited to the mid-range 89bhp 1.5-litre petrol version.

That normally aspirated engine is also offered with an entry-level output of 74bhp or in the range-topping 113bhp guise tested here, the more powerful one promising to give the 2 the extra bit of fun factor needed to topple the Fiesta. A 1.5-litre Skyactiv diesel is also offered.

The top-spec engine goads you to rev it to access the performance,

making it entertaining if you can keep the momentum going. The motor is mated to one of the slickest manual gearboxes in the class, the six-speed unit encouraging positive shifts. Drive it at lower revs and it’s altogether much smoother and more relaxing.

So the 2 feels good to drive, not only because of its powertrain but also because its steering is well weighted and allows the car to be placed accurately on the road. Turn-in is sharp and the ride comfortable. It gets the basics right, in other words – not something that can be said for all of its rivals.

This version suffers from the same problems as the lower-powered ones, mind, namely little low-end torque and overly long gearing, which makes getting anywhere in a

hurry a real effort. The flipside to that willingness to be pushed is that the engine can be surprisingly vocal. At faster motorway speeds, engine noise never entirely fades into the background.

Mazda is keen to emphasise its strategy of “right-sizing the engine rather than downsizing”, which has its benefits, with real-world economy in the early 50s, for example. However, you can’t help but miss the extra zest, charm and better low-end shove that Ford’s three-cylinder turbo Ecoboost provides. Stick one of these in the 2 and I’ve a sneaky suspicion that the 2 would really give the Fiesta something to worry about.

The 2’s interior is a huge improvement on the old car’s in design and perceived quality, and it has an infotainment screen that is

controlled by a rotary knob next to the handbrake. The sat-nav provides some of the clearest mapping out there and clearly spoken instructions that won’t leave you reaching for the mute button – more evidence of the basics being done well.

This range-topping 2 has plenty going for it, then. It’s a true all-rounder in the class and is likely to be a fine car to own, albeit pricey in this guise next to its equivalent key rivals.

The Fiesta remains the best car in the class to drive, but the 2 deserves to be at the top of your supermini shopping list. MARK TISSHAW

In the spartan cabin, the paddle shifters don’t move with the wheel; supercharged V6 puts out 345bhp and thrives on higher revs


ON SALE NOW

Modern sports car buyers love automatic gearboxes. This much we know because so many successful makers now

sell cars in south-east Asia, where such transmissions are popular, and because even Europeans have come to enjoy the self-shifting properties of the many dual-clutch automatic cars now on the market.

So sure is Lotus that even its rawest and most focused model – the 1.2-tonne, 345bhp supercharged Exige – will attract more buyers with a self-shifter that it has built such a car, using a conventional Aisin six-speed automatic ’box but giving the driver exceptional control over gearchanging by using its own control software and providing an elegant pair of alloy shift paddles.

The Exige is related to the Elise, but it’s styled differently and is a

little longer in the wheelbase. The biggest difference is its Toyota-derived 3.5-litre V6 petrol engine, which has control software and a supercharger designed by Lotus. The auto ’box adds £2000 to the price and is offered as an option on both coupé and drop-top versions of the Exige.

The automatic Exige is almost exactly as quick as the manual version. It’s capable of 0-60mph in a deeply impressive 3.8sec and 0-100mph in just 9.2sec, and the performance is easily deployed using a superbly weighted accelerator pedal and a hard-pressed traction control system. In fact, the best thing about this car is its easily accessible performance; not many performance cars as low and small as this can go as fast, and the thrust continues unabated well beyond 120mph.

All Exige Ss come with a selector

offering three driving modes: Off, Standard and Sport, which adjust chassis stability, throttle ‘alertness’ and the exhaust note. Sport seems most interesting since it allows some cornering slip on the limit, while rescuing you from disaster, and a sporty exhaust note most of the time.

For track-minded enthusiasts, there’s an extra-cost Race setting, the set-up that Lotus’s talented band of engineer-hotshoes have devised to make the car go around a track as quickly as it can. The rest of the car certainly supports such use, with unassisted steering that’s superbly accurate and perfectly weighted at speed, plus brakes that are hugely powerful and easy to modulate.

The seats are spare but comfortable. The cabin feels snug and businesslike but distinctly old-fashioned against something like a

Porsche Boxster. But in the Lotus, the performance dominates, as intended. The equivalent Porsche feels rather large and even a little cumbersome by comparison, although it is far better protected from effects like wind noise than the Lotus.

Still, this is a small, none-too-versatile sports car that’s showing its age in some ways, and a price approaching £60,000 is solid indeed. If you want a brisk cruiser, there are better options, but if you truly desire the Exige’s exceptional performance-with-roadholding, it probably looks like a bit of a steal.STEVE CROPLEY

Perceived quality has taken a jump forward in the roomier cabin; cruising ability is aided by a smooth, quiet engine and supple ride

QUICK FACTSPRICE £40,000 (EST)

ON SALE APRIL

When it arrived in 2002, Kia’s flagship SUV was a large and rather crude body-on-frame vehicle, popular for its

good looks, low price and mammoth towing ability. But Kia soon turned the Sorento into a more sophisticated, monocoque ‘urban’ model.

With this third-generation Sorento, in UK showrooms this spring, it has begun chasing sophistication in earnest while continuing to provide the previous models’ space and utility. The Sorento now has a bigger and more stylish body, improved interior quality and equipment and the promise of better dynamics.

All of this comes at a cost, though. There will be a price hike of about five per cent across the range, so the entry-level KX1 will cost about £29,000 and the KX4 we drove –

fully loaded with gadgets such as park assist, radar cruise control and lane departure warning – will break the £40,000 barrier.

Mind you, it’s not all sophistication. Sorentos will be sold in the UK with just one engine: a Euro 6 version of the faithful, slow-revving, four-cylinder 2.2 CRDi that develops 197bhp at 3800rpm, plus 325lb ft from 1750-2750rpm.

The first thing you notice about the new Sorento is that it’s bigger than before. Kia has modified the underpinnings of the outgoing model so that the wheelbase is now 80mm longer and overall length has grown by 95mm (to 4780mm). It’s also a shade wider and a little lower, but there are considerable gains in head room and rear leg room.

Kia is on an all-out hunt for refinement, so the suspension

parts are familiar but the subframe mountings have been enhanced. The electric power steering servo motor has been shifted from the steering column to the rack, nearer the action, in order to improve precision, and soundproofing occupies well over double the area it once did.

The result is a very quiet and smooth-riding car, as far as one can judge on the smooth roads of Spain. The steering is certainly an improvement. The handling bias is tilted towards mild understeer (in the wet, you can reach the limits of the standard ESP), but there is good dry grip and the brakes seem powerful and easy to modulate.

The engine provides smooth, flexible performance, the Sorento cruising quietly thanks to its tall gearing. Acceleration (in heaviest KX4 guise with the optional

six-speed automatic gearbox fitted) is quite decent, with a claimed 0-62mph time of 9.6sec.

The new Sorento has the practicality and easy demeanour to fit happily into many a UK family. Judged against even the best standards, it is comfortable and quiet, and the seven-year warranty provides another inducement.

It doesn’t have the name appeal and genuine off-road ability that comes at extra cost in a Jeep or Land Rover, but if it’s a hard-working and spacious SUV you want, it’ll be hard to look past the Sorento, even at the higher (but as yet unspecified) prices.STEVE CROPLEY

Fascia is festooned with buttons, but the cabin is roomy and comfortable; dynamically, the ungainly Q70 is no match for a 5 Series


ON SALE NOW

Infiniti’s large executive saloon, the Q70, has been given a facelift for 2015, aimed at improving refinement and turning it into

a car that warrants consideration against talented rivals such as the Audi A6, BMW 5 Series and Mercedes-Benz E-Class.

Alongside a freshening up of trim levels and sharpening of the car’s looks, the big news is the arrival of a Mercedes-sourced four-cylinder diesel engine. Previously, the only diesel offering in the Q70 was a 3.0-litre V6 that was too dirty and expensive to genuinely tempt buyers.

The changes give the Q70 line-up an altogether different complexion. The four-pot diesel engine allows a significantly lower starting price for the range (£32,650, rather than around £40k) and promises much-improved fuel economy (a claimed

average of 57.6mpg) compared with the diesel V6, which remains in the line-up. That’s good news for company car buyers.

The Q70’s interior is a very nice place to be. While a little fussy in places, with a lot of buttons on a lot of surfaces, it feels plush and nicely put together. Visibility out is generally good and the range of adjustment on the front seats means that even the most fussy occupants will easily get comfortable. With the front seats pushed all the way back, you can still squeeze a pair of six-footers into the rear seats, too.

Comfort is what this car is good at. The suspension happily smooths out poor road surfaces, insulating the occupants from all but the most severe chasms in the road surface.

If you want a car to drive enthusiastically, however, this is

not it. The Q70 is comfortable and composed, rather than dynamically adept. If you try to press on down a twisty road, the Infiniti feels big and ungainly. A BMW 5 Series is more rewarding to drive.

Performance from the 2143cc diesel engine is perfectly acceptable. The 168bhp output doesn’t look particularly generous, but the Q70 never feels slow or short on puff. The seven-speed automatic gearbox can be wrong-footed at times, but in general there isn’t much to complain about. The car is quick enough off the mark in town and happily tramps along at motorway speeds.

The four-pot diesel engine can be vocal at low speeds and when it’s under load, but it’s no worse than the equivalent BMW unit, and the noise fades right away at motorway speeds.

In terms of practicality, the Q70 comes up short in comparison with all of its main rivals. Its 450-litre boot volume is some way adrift of the 5 Series’ 520 litres, for example, and the rear seatbacks don’t fold down to extend the boot’s length, although you do get a ski hatch instead.

The Q70 is never going to be the default choice in a segment where so much of the shortlisting process is done by the car’s badge. Most of its main rivals remain better to drive, too, but if you’re prepared to look past the usual suspects, this facelift makes the big Infiniti a far more enticing prospect than before.NIGEL DONNELLY

Is there room between the superb 911 GT3 and Cayman GTS for another landmark Porsche? Matt Saunders sees if the new 911 GTS fits that slot PHOTOGRAPHY LUC LACEY

Foreman’s power with Hagler’s chin. Jagger’s strut and Jimi’s virtuosity. A tender fillet steak that tastes like rump. Maybe that’s what we’re in the company of with the new

Porsche 911 Carrera GTS. Just maybe.By parachuting a new performance

derivative into the gap between its greatest existing sports cars, Porsche seems to have attempted to split the difference between the 911 GT3 (third at last year’s Britain’s Best Driver’s Car) and the Cayman GTS (fourth at BBDC 2014). To have created,

perhaps, a car with most of the awesome power and purposefulness of the 911 GT3, as well as the playfulness and accessibility of the Cayman GTS. If such a thing is even possible. The very idea seems a naïve, wishful simplification.

Naïve or not, it’s reason enough to get the three together and investigate the credentials of this relativeunknown. The 911 GTS has landed. And to give it every chance, we’ve headed to some of the greatest driving roads in the UK, across the Brecon Beacons – but only to those ◊

A CROWD

Three Porsche sports cars (and cold testers) await the roads of the Brecon Beacons

26 SEPTEMBER 2012 AUTOCAR.CO.UK 37


Every flick of the Cayman’s steering gives sublime directional response


∆ roads. No track space has been granted for the 468bhp GT3 to warm its Cup tyres, stretch its legs and blow its less powerful brethren into the weeds. There’s just a narrow ribbon of mountain pass in a typical Welsh mid-winter, and one overriding question hanging in the air like the mist over the valley below: how much room can these two incredible driver’s cars possibly leave for a third?

‘Not much’ was my initial instinct. But then you glance at the technical specs and spare a thought for the context into which the new GTS is coming. And, for a while, you wonder.

Remember the stink kicked up in certain corners of the specialist automotive media about the lack of a manual transmission option with the GT3? Well, the GTS gets one – and not just any one, but the seven-speed manual of the current 991 generation of the 911, respecified and retuned for better shift feel.

Next, get this: according to Porsche, the GTS is lighter than the GT3. Only by 5kg, but that’s before you’ve had the ‘club sport’ half-cage bolted into the back of the GT3, whose lightweight panels, forged wheels and pared-down cabin are evidently offset by the weight of that PDK gearbox and more complicated chassis tech.

That’s to say nothing of the 911 GTS’s real selling point relative to its bigger brother: usability. Generations

GT3 has a tactile wheel and seven-speed dual-clutch ’box; 911 GTS has a refined, sporting air and a seven-speed manual; Boxster has a six-speed manual and driver-led layout

ago, Porsche offered its GT3 track day hero in a more pragmatic ‘comfort’ specification. Not so any more.

The cue for our get-together, then, is a 911 that’s faster and considerably more powerful than an original 996 GT3, but with added civility and more creature comforts. Aside from all that, its make-up isn’t at all complicated. This is ostensibly a Carrera S with the optional ‘power kit’ engine upgrade, the same wide body and axle tracks as the Carrera 4 and GT3, and a PASM adaptive suspension system with 10mm of ride height taken out and some firmer settings put back in. It also gets all of the mechanical must-haves of the 991 options list (sports exhaust, dynamic engine mounts, torque vectoring and a limited-slip differential) fitted as standard.

The specification of the other two Porsches is familiar enough not to need repeating. Neither the 911 GT3 nor Cayman GTS has been through a full Autocar road test – and for sports cars of such incredible stature as these two, that’s regrettable.

Timing was the problem with the GT3. By the time the car’s well-documented engine modification programme had been completed last year and Porsche GB could lend us a right-hand-drive test car, the automotive agenda had moved on.

With the Cayman, we’ve no such excuse. We dared to assume that this

was just another series-production, lower-order Porsche. Until we drove it – when it became clear that it wasn’t ‘just’ anything.

Naturally, you’re lured first to the extravagantly meshed and bespoilered, ground-hugging GT3, loitering in a Carmarthenshire car park with all the simmering visual menace of a track prototype. From its gaping front air ducts, past its enormous carbon-ceramic brakes to that huge rear wing, the GT3 has true hardcore performance character. It shows up the GTS as a tribute act so pale by comparison that you’d think the gap between their respective prices was more like £90k than £9k.

Not that you can order your own £100,540 GT3 any more. With an RS version soon to be unveiled, production of the first motorsport-derived 991 is all but finished, and buyers who’ve left it this long to secure one must now scour Porsche’s dealer stock for pre-registrations and nearly new examples. Which don’t come cheap, by the way. The wave of positive press coverage that the GT3 has enjoyed has coincided with a winding up of supply that’s clearly surprised many and has resulted in prices rising beyond £140,000. In the way it so often does, the market has endowed this very special Porsche with a price to better reflect its spectacular abilities.

The first of which comes courtesy of what’s sitting immediately behind the rear axle. The GT3’s 3.8-litre flat six is its crowning glory. The forged aluminium and titanium internals and rocker arm valve train ring and clatter to make it sound as though the engine is chewing itself to pieces as you gradually let it warm through. It also uses plenty of oil, although the trip computer will politely tell you when it needs a top-up.

But all is forgotten when it’s on song and spinning through its incredible repertoire. Response is diamond sharp, power delivery building from urgent to dramatic as the tacho needle sweeps from 4000rpm towards 6000rpm. Above 6000rpm, it’s downright astonishing, matched on furious sense of occasion by only a handful of the very finest performance engines in the world, and vastly more dazzling than what the softer-edged GTS’s 3.8 can serve up.

And it’s fast – untouchable in this company. The turn of speed that the GT3 can put on feels much more savage than its headline power output suggests. On the road, by the time you’ve sampled 8000rpm in second gear, the temptation to drink it all in again in third may be more than your driving licence can stand.

The GTS is a fast sports car, sure – moreover, a fast 911. Its performance is as remarkable for operational ◊

The 911 GTS has high-rev thrills, the Boxster more mid-range thrust

Driver’s Porsches | Comparison



∆ range and woofling, velvety texture as it is for outright pace. But if you’re looking at the apparently insignificant 28bhp per tonne difference between the two cars and betting that they can’t feel that different under your right foot, you’d be amazed by the difference in actuality. It’s stark – much bigger, say, than the previous Ford Focus RS was compared with the equivalent ST.

There again, you may be inclined to think: “So what?” What good is 468bhp if you can’t really use it on the road? But follow that argument to its logical conclusion and you don’t end up with a rationale to buy a 424bhp, £91k 911 GTS, but its little namesake.

The 335bhp Cayman GTS has one less gear ratio than the 911 GTS but gives up less to the newcomer on torque than power. It’s no giant-killer on pace, belonging in a lower performance division than either of its siblings. But the truth is that the performance the Cayman lacks isn’t really performance you miss. Not on the road, at least. Not if you value your liberty. It’s intoxicating to indulge in the farther reaches of the 911 GTS’s rev range every now and again – and almost hallucinogenic to do so in the GT3. The Cayman’s 3.4-litre flat six doesn’t come alive above 6500rpm in quite the same way, balanced as it is more for mid-range muscle than redline hysterics.

But that bias allows it to keep up with its rear-engined betters as you howl along a steep and deserted

B-road. It hits full stride sooner as you sweep out of corners and down short open stretches. And in reality, other than at the kind of lick and on the sorts of road that simply don’t figure in the UK, the Cayman GTS won’t be shrugged off the back of this 1200bhp Porsche cavalcade. Not for a moment.

The Cayman has what feels like a generous, road-appropriate power level. It also has the word-perfect answer to a question that must be posed on a regular basis at the chassis development ‘blue sky’ meetings of car makers the world over: “How should our new sports car handle?” The Cayman’s reply is brilliant. It isn’t contrived or complex. The car simply makes itself invisible; its driveshafts, suspension springs, brake calipers and contact patches are an instant and unconscious extension of you. It’s a trick not even the GT3 can pull off.

There’s no working this car out and little need to build trust, when every flick of the steering gives you sublime directional response and supreme confidence in the remaining grip level. The Cayman GTS tucks in to a greasy apex as though cornering was its natural state – like you’d imagine an old American stock car on staggered wheels and cross-weighted springs must have felt. Except so light and spry, and supremely eager.

If anything, you can criticise it for too much incisiveness at times – too great a readiness to change direction. The Cayman’s a softer-sprung car than either 911 because it can be. Its ◊

GT3 grips well, even in the wet, but you can still play with its tail

GT3 has more speed than you need on the road but sounds exhilarating at high revs



∆ masses are more easily controlled by the suspension because they’re carried where they ought to be: between the axles. Softer chassis settings and a favourable weight distribution make the car corner with beautiful poise – but also flirt with roll-related oversteer if you carry too much speed or time your braking badly. It’s nothing the stability control can’t subtly deal with and presents itself more often on track than road. But it’s there, the inevitable consequence of true, pin-sharp chassis balance. And it means that, now and again, the Cayman’s driver might have a snatch of a throttle-off tail slide to focus the mind.

Lift-off oversteer is a dynamic character flaw that’s been studiously and successfully engineered out of the 911 over several decades. To the point where, on a slippery road bordered by rocks on one side and 100ft of fresh air on the other, your focus is entirely on the front wheels

of this enigmatic, enduring sports car – whether GTS or GT3.

Putting a sports car exactly where you want it is, after all, the heart and soul of rewarding road driving. Doing that in the GT3 is a much easier and more direct task than in the GTS, because most of the time – even on wintry roads and at sub-5deg C – the GT3’s grip and steering response are leagues better. And that’s not all that marks its pre-eminence.

Although it’s stiffer than the GTS and less compliant at low speeds and suffers with more tyre noise, the GT3 actually rides better than its new range mate most of the time. It has that delicate initial damper response which begins to take the sting out of a bump the split second it impacts the suspension. The GTS’s adaptive dampers allow more compliance and initial suspension travel, only to intervene to check body movement once it has been allowed to develop. Very few sports cars could make Each of these cars has earned its wings

It still knows how to make sports cars…

Porsche 911 GT3 Porsche Cayman GTS Porsche 911 Carrera GTS

the 911 GTS feel at all sloppy, soft or clumsy, but the GT3 is one of them.

The 911 GTS has similar weight in its steering to the Cayman but can’t match it on directional response. The GT3 gets closer, and it communicates feedback from its front tyres even better than the Cayman. But neither 911 goes around a corner with the telepathic precision of the Cayman.

Working the weight distribution of the bigger pair of Porsches, adapting your driving style around them and teasing the poise and precision out is one of the 911 driver’s lasting rewards. In the stunningly immersive GT3 particularly, that occupation might sustain your interest for longer than either of the other two can manage. But here’s the difference. In the GT3 – and, in a less grippy and precise sense, in the GTS, too – you probe away with the steering wheel, feeling for purchase and building belief in the car’s handling and eventually finding some. In the Cayman, on the road,

that belief is immutable and absolute – and the car is never more than three inches from where you pointed it.

So where does that leave the new 911 Carrera GTS? No man’s land? Not quite. Even though it’s comprehensively outhandled by the Cayman on the road, greater performance and motive character mean it isn’t outpointed. And even though it fails to get close to the thrill of a GT3, it offers enough relative civility and usability to earn its place.

The truth is that you suspect the ‘GTS’ badge will be applied by Porsche more like a fairly ordinary trim level than a mark of real sporting flavour in the years to come. This example feels like an optimally configured but familiar Carrera S, rather than anything genuinely new. Does that make it one of Porsche’s all-time greats? No. But it’s a fine example of a sporting institution known and loved by so many – and for very good reasons. L

Is there an initialism in the entire glossary of motoring terms more flagrantly abused than ‘GT’? To some car makers, such as Honda, Infiniti, Kia and Volkswagen, it is a mere

trim level, and to BMW the term now seems to be synonymous with ‘ugly hatchback’.

When you think of the cars that made the name famous more than 50 years ago – the likes of the Ferrari 250 GT and Lamborghini 350 GT – it’s enough to make you cry. Add just one number to those two letters, however, and once more you are transported into a world of thrills and excitement peopled only by proper driver’s cars. This is the world of the GT3.

Of course, if we think of a GT3 today, it is a Porsche 911 that inevitably pops into our minds, because although others used the term before the first 911 GT3 of 1999 (notably Lotus with the shamefully underrated Esprit GT3), it is Porsche that has made the name its own. Not for much longer, though. Within a year, a GT3 will be not so much a car as a class, and although not every member will be called a GT3, you won’t struggle to tell them from the rest of their stablemates.

A GT3 road car may or may not be the quickest car in the range, but it will always be the most focused. It will be more powerful than the standard offering but, unlike, say, a 911 Turbo,

lighter, too. It will have extensive aerodynamic modifications and a race-ready alter ego to compete in global GT3 racing, now the most popular category of sports car racing the world has ever known. More than anything, while a GT3 car might look wonderful, it is anything but a car merely for show. It is a hardcore driving machine for serious drivers and no one else need apply. For their manufacturers, these cars are not the money-making machines you might expect, because they require extensive modifications in all important areas – powertrain, chassis and aerodynamics chiefly – yet will sell in tiny numbers.

So why do them? Simply because they act as antidotes to other cars in their ranges, detoxifying reputations that might otherwise be poisoned by the world’s current addiction to SUVs. Porsche knows it can build as many Audi-based off-roaders as it likes as long as it also builds hardcore GT3s, because no one is going to fear that the company has lost touch with the cars on which its reputation was built.

So as the likes of Bentley, Jaguar and Aston Martin prepare their first SUVs and inevitably least sporting cars, there shouldn’t be too much surprise that they also feel the need to balance them out with what may prove to be the most sporting, driver-orientated cars in their collective histories. ◊

The 911 GT3 is set to be joined by a raft of new, hardcore models from other sports car makers — and Porsche itself. Andrew Frankel looks at what’s coming in the next year


There’s no doubting the existence of

this car, nor the timing of its arrival

at the Geneva motor show in March.

The road-going GT3 Vantage will aim to

build on the many successes of its racing

brother while elevating the bar of Aston

Martin performance far beyond anything

seen to date by any production car.

The Vantage GT3 will retain the

6.0-litre V12 engine that has been used

by Aston Martin since 1999, but with its

power raised from its current maximum

of 565bhp to perhaps the magic 600bhp

mark, a still relatively low level of stress

when you consider that Ferrari’s F12

achieves 730bhp from less than 6.3 litres.

Perhaps as significantly, weight is

set to drop, by as much as 100kg. The

Vantage has never been put on such a

strict diet before, and it is believed that

simply removing some interior gadgets

and installing thin seats will create most

of the saving, while lightweight body

panels using lessons learned over many

years of racing will account for the rest.

We also believe the car’s track will be

widened and an aerodynamic package

visually much closer to that of a race

car than anything seen on a road-going

Aston to date will be used, but it is not

known if the car will be offered with even

the option of a manual gearbox.

The modifications should elevate the

Vantage’s performance far beyond the

level of the current Porsche 911 GT3

and place it on a par with the likes of the

Ferrari 458 Italia and McLaren 650S.

Expect it to be priced accordingly.

We’ve been waiting a long time

for this. The RS was originally

intended to make its worldwide debut

at last year’s Goodwood Festival of

Speed before being delayed by the self-

immolating GT3 crisis. The new RS will

now be at the Geneva motor show in

March, and what a car it promises to be.

Porsche has been very successful

in keeping detail leaks to a minimum,

but we believe the engine will remain

normally aspirated and that its output

will be tickled up from the current

475bhp to 500bhp or more, although

whether this is done through tuning or a

capacity increase from 3.8 to 4.0 litres

is not known. The 4.0-litre version of

the previous (997) GT3 RS is the most

revered 911 of modern times.

As ever, the new GT3 RS will be

significantly lighter than the standard

GT3, but the major area of development

is believed to be aerodynamic, with

insiders claiming downforce levels more

readily comparable with those of sports

racing cars than standard road cars.

The GT3 RS is likely to have the added

poignancy of heralding the end of 52

years of normally aspirated 911s. This

autumn the 911 will receive a mid-life

refresh that’s understood to involve

turbo engines throughout the range.

Probably the GT3 car about which

the least is known, although an even

hotter, more driver-dedicated F-Type

coupé has been rumoured for as long

as the F-Type has been in existence.

Jaguar is known to be looking very

seriously at a GT3 race version of the

F-Type because it is acutely aware

that it is the only major premium brand

without a presence in this lucrative

and brand-building sport. A decision is

expected imminently.

In the meantime, work is believed

to be ongoing on an R-S version of the

F-Type, which would fit strategies used

for previous high-performance Jaguars

such as the XFR-S and XKR-S. However,

if it is to command credibility as a

worthy member of the new GT3 order,

the hot F-Type will need to be far more

extensively engineered than any R-S to

date, particularly in the areas of chassis

and aerodynamic development.

Of all the cars on this list, the Jaguar is

the least likely to see the light of day this

year, if only because the company has

the XE, the all-wheel-drive and manual

F-Types, an XJ refresh and an SUV all

to launch in 2015. It’s a programme that

would tax the resources of a large car

manufacturer, let alone a comparative

minnow like Jaguar.

Okay, we know Mercedes-Benz will

never call a road car a GT3 because,

to quote AMG boss Tobias Moers, “that

name belongs to the other company”,

referring to his cross-town colleagues at

Porsche. Even so, Moers has described

a Mercedes-AMG GT with GT3 qualities

as “a good idea” and has fleshed out in

some detail the approach it will take.

He said: “We want a package that

excels in every area. I don’t want to

make a dragster that’s only good for

doing 0-100km/h in 2.8sec. We need

more power, less weight, better aero and

different suspension, but the targets

should be the power-to-weight ratio,

driveability, lap time and tremendous

feel.” A GT3 car, in other words.

The target is to reduce the weight

of the GT by 80-100kg, and Moers

says it would be fair to speculate that

the 4.0-litre V8 engine would need

to produce about 550bhp. With work

proceeding apace to ready the racing

version of the GT for the 2016 season, it

would make sense for the two projects

to operate in tandem and for us to see

something of the new road car this year.

Bentley has already dipped its toes

into GT3 waters with last year’s

limited-edition GT3-R, but rumours

persist that it is considering taking a

proper plunge. Although the GT3-R

followed the standard GT3 formula and

was indeed lighter, more powerful and

more aerodynamically effective than

the standard Continental GT V8S upon

which it is based, the modifications were

relatively modest and, for instance, did

not feature the deletion of the four-

wheel drive hardware.

Last year Bentley chief Wolfgang

Dürheimer said the company could

“push more” with its GT3 road car

programme and was open to the idea

of a more tightly focused, rear-wheel-

drive road car. The success of its GT3

racing programme since then makes the

possibility of such a car more likely.

If Bentley is to build a proper road-

going, rear-wheel-drive GT3 car, its

engineers will want to get its weight as

close to and, if possible, below 2000kg.

The GT3-R already has 572bhp from

its 4.0-litre V8 engine, but 600bhp is

known to be easily achievable. L

Printmy ride

It is well known that paper is not the only printer-friendly material and that, thanks to modern computer technology, there is no need to stay in the rather limiting world offered by the first

two dimensions. You will recall, for instance, the plastic gun that was built, fired and said to be undetectable by conventional scanning machines. It was created by a 3D printer.

But what about cars? If you saw the most recent Bond movie, Skyfall, you might have cringed at the sight of an Aston Martin DB5 apparently being riddled with bullets. But you’d have relaxed rather more had you known that it was, in fact, not merely a scale model but a printed one at that.

But what about a real car – something you can get in and drive? You couldn’t print one of those, surely?

At the recent Detroit motor show, printed car pioneer Local Motors did just that, printing a car on its stand with the aim of driving it away

at the end of the show. And just to prove that they weren’t kidding, they showed one they’d made earlier…

The theory behind the 3D printed car is so compelling that it forces you, at least at first, to put to one side some of the thornier issues facing those wishing them to become a commercial reality.

“It’s all about the tooling,” says the positively evangelical Elle Shelley, Local Motors’ chief marketing officer. “Guess how many parts this car has,” she insists, pointing at the car they call the Strati. “Three hundred?” I hazard, somewhat hopelessly. “Forty-seven,” she replies. “A conventional car has 35,000.” Yikes.

If the Local Motors dream comes true, it will work like this: the world will become populated by so-called micro-factories, all printing cars that are not only crowd funded but also crowd designed. So people enter competitions locally, a winning design is selected and that’s what

Cutting-edge 3D printing can be used to create a car from scratch in 44 hours — as seen at last month’s Detroit show. Andrew Frankel finds out more

Strati is printed using carbonfibre-reinforced plastic and comprises just 47 parts


3D printing | Insight

gets printed. “You don’t need to make a million cars before returning a profit to your investors,” says Shelley. “You’ll turn a profit on 1000 cars.”

Moreover, while it might take five years or more for a conventional car manufacturer to design a new car, the Strati went from an idea to being driveable in just five months, albeit with a little help from the powertrain and running gear of a Renault Twizy. Then it takes 44 hours to print using carbonfibre-reinforced plastic, a couple of hours to mill the resulting rough surfaces into something smoother and then perhaps a day to clip all the panels together “like Lego”, as Shelley describes it.

Unlike owners of normal cars who can only either sell or keep the car they have bought, if you then get bored with your car’s design, you just take it back to the factory, where it will be melted down and turned into something else. They call it ‘upgradeable hardware’.

The Strati is not actually a production car, although Local Motors says something similar but with proper weather equipment will be in production before the end of year for “between $18,000 and $30,000”. It weighs less than 750kg, which doesn’t sound like much but is actually half as much again as the Twizy that lends its battery, electric motor and suspension. Then again, you can power it by pretty much anything that fits – up to and including, says Shelley, “the Porsche engine we’re working on”.

There are many issues with such an innovative approach to car manufacturing, of which the GCSE Design and Technology standard of finish of the show car is just one of the more obvious. Shelley confirms that there is a lengthy homologation process to be gone through. Also, while Local Motors plans to open more than 100 micro-factories around the world, right now there are just three, located in Las Vegas, Washington DC and Phoenix.

Even so, Local Motors is aware that even if the Strati and its future printed cars find the legislative going tough in the US, there are lots of other places around the world where the demand could be immense. “Think of sub-Saharan Africa,” says Shelley. “That’s a huge opportunity.”

And thinking of the potential demand for such an incredibly simple vehicle for which spare parts can be printed locally according to demand, I can see that she has a point.

It would be easy to titter at Local Motors and what it describes as “the car that will change the world”, but I feel inclined not to. They are clearly passionate about their creation and spectacularly brave in their attempts to bring it to market in a way that owes precisely nothing to the principles of car manufacturing laid out by Henry Ford over a century ago that live with us to this day.

What I will say is that although I have no better idea than you whether Local Motors will succeed or not, you don’t need a PhD in engineering to see the sense of printing at least components for cars. Quick, less wasteful than conventional processes and able to be changed at the click of a mouse, it is, if not the future of car manufacturing, then certainly part of it.

And a whole car? Time was when people considered the car itself a passing fad. We may yet one day titter on the other side of our faces. L

When Peugeot drew attention last year to the 30th birthday of its seminal 205 GTi hot hatchback, performance car

fans all over Europe suddenly felt that little bit older. You needn’t have been a teenager in the early 1980s to know the sporting legend that this front-wheel-drive phenomenon created – or to have added your own ownership story to it. The 205’s superbly engaging handling, combined with typical hot hatch usability and value, have made it arguably the most affectionately remembered French performance car yet made.

After the impressive job that it made of last year’s RCZ R, Peugeot Sport’s attention was seconded from making Dakar Rally and European Rally Championship competition cars for this project. And its work started by updating the standard GTi’s 197bhp 1.6-litre turbo four-pot engine for greater potency to make it comply with Euro 6 emissions regulations.

WE DON’T LIKE Driving position is still flawed ■ Not a lot more fun to drive than the standard GTi ■ Pricey

The company’s latest inheritor of that legacy, the 208 GTi, was a more serious attempt than we’ve seen in a long time to return the Peugeot brand to the kind of reverence in which it began to be held two or three decades ago. But although it was a simpler and more willing entertainer than many a hot supermini, it had the misfortune of arriving at the same time as the very good Renault Clio RS 200 Turbo and outstanding Ford Fiesta ST.

Peugeot’s response – almost two years later and delivered with some celebratory largesse – would seem to be ‘upstage this’: the limited-

edition 208 GTi 30th. Departing from the usual paint-job-and-alloy-wheels recipe of special-edition hot hatchery, its engine, transmission, suspension, brakes and steering have all been uprated or retuned, and its

outward appearance and interior have been updated. The net result, says Peugeot, is a car of not just greater performance capability than the standard 208 GTi but also more radical character and “extra soul”. If true, such added flair will distinguish the car from its rivals better than a class-leading 0-60mph showing.

It doesn’t come cheap, though. Peugeot’s £21,995 asking price for the 208 GTi 30th makes it 10 per cent more expensive than a fully loaded, Mountune-kitted Fiesta ST, so it needs to be every bit as good as it’s cracked up to be.

MULTIMEDIA SYSTEM

Coming with plenty of kit

is a limited-edition model’s

prerogative, and the 30th doesn’t

buck the trend, earning the

satellite navigation system that

was previously only standard

on the GTi Prestige trim level.

Alongside it is a DAB tuner and the

Bluetooth connectivity that we

expect to find on any car north of

£20k. These function well enough,

even if the map display does

resemble a line drawing from an

early 1990s flight simulator.

The niggles lie deeper and

most notably in a general lack of

intuitiveness. There is rather too

much screen stabbing to be done

at a plethora of buttons and boxes

— a criticism easily levelled at half

a dozen such systems, but not any

less bothersome for that fact.

The lack of any real sense of

fluid usability is a shame, because

it means that the lofty positioning

of the screen never seems like

much of a virtue. It just feels like

you’re continually having to lift

your hand up very high to access

the feature you want, rather than

keeping your eye on the road.

HOW BIG IS IT?

∆ torque (up 18lb ft to 221lb ft) than power (up 7bhp to 205bhp), but it has also brought CO2 emissions down by 14g/km and two company car tax percentage points and boosted claimed combined fuel economy up beyond 50mpg. As crazy at it sounds, you now have to descend through the 208’s petrol engine range all the way to the 81bhp 1.2-litre three-cylinder version to find a more economical motor. That will probably be of more significance to buyers of the 2015-model-year regular 208 GTi (which is next in line for this engine) than for owners of the 30th anniversary special, but it’s a remarkable claim in any case.

Downstream of that engine, Peugeot Sport beefed up the GTi’s transmission by transplanting the six-speed, close-ratio manual gearbox and Torsen limited-slip differential directly from the RCZ R. Standard 18in alloy wheels with half an inch of extra rim width contribute to an improvement in the claimed 0-62mph acceleration to 6.5sec from the standard GTi’s 6.8sec.

You’d expect an equally thorough chassis makeover and, sure enough, you get one. The 208 GTi 30th’s

here. Huge C-pillars can be a hindrance at over-your-shoulder junctions.

spare wheel beneath it. Again, that’s largely all within expectations for the class.

suspension has been completely recommissioned compared with the normal GTi’s. Firmer springs, uprated dampers and new anti-roll bars feature, as well as wider tracks front (an extra 22mm) and rear (16mm), a 10mm reduction in ride height and more negative wheel camber. The front brake discs have been enlarged to 323mm and its electro-mechanical power steering, traction control and ESP systems have been recalibrated to derive maximum benefit from the mechanical locking diff.

FINISH


ON THE ROAD

∆ GTi as we currently know it. Which is to say decent enough, despite the showboating shiny plastic and mildly perplexing nature of the layout.

Characterised by the high-mounted touchscreen and now infamous floating dials, the layout is a familiar theme of the French manufacturer’s interior design language, although that has hardly altered the slightly discombobulated feel of sitting behind the wheel for the first time.

Much has been written on the subject of the dashboard, which we won’t repeat here, but suffice it to say that short drivers who prefer to sit low will probably not be able to see the 208’s redline – and in a hot hatch, that seems like a shame. We’re not huge fans of the downsized steering wheel blocking the view, either, and the manual gearbox could do with its unnecessarily long throw being an inch or two shorter.

Getting comfortable isn’t a problem, thanks to the new, figure-hugging Peugeot Sport-branded seats, although the squidginess of the bolsters means they’re hardly vice-like in the support department.

The 30th gets a bit more lacquered black trim, Alcantara, leather, red piping and some very scarlet floor mats – plus a numbered plaque – to mark it out as special, but it’s unlikely that Peugeot’s customers will feel inclined to pay the model’s premium on account of the spec. That said, there’s enough standard kit thrown in, including a DAB tuner, dual-zone air-con and sat-nav, to make it a convincing enough range-topper.

PERFORMANCE

AAAAC

The current 208 GTi, although never road tested on these pages, was not

lacking in gusto – a good thing when you consider the marginal nature of the power increase enacted here.

Nevertheless, Peugeot claims a respectable 0.3sec reduction in 0-62mph time, and, two up, we corroborated it at Millbrook. The previous car’s problem was in the hooves rather than the horses, so it seems fair to credit the revised suspension geometry, new limited-slip differential and stickier tyres with the slightly better level of traction required to enable the 30th to cover the 0-60mph sprint in 6.5sec. That puts it in very good stead compared with the competition, making it almost a full second quicker than the spiritless Clio 200 and half a second up on the Fiesta ST.

However, it’s worth mentioning that the Fiesta ST, powered by Ford’s similar-sized Ecoboost engine, remains the more characterful and responsive unit from low revs.

Peugeot’s own turbocharged four-cylinder motor, although as thrusting as ever from shorter gear ratios, still suffers from a brief contemplative moment of lag that just isn’t as noticeable in the ST. It isn’t irksome enough to be a serious demerit, but it does make the 30th’s undoubted liveliness harder to get at than it might otherwise have been.

Once on stream, the engine’s willingness to rev is undeniably contagious, especially given the enthusiasm with which it careens into its 6500rpm limiter. It isn’t a particularly stirring experience, though, the classic hard-edged four-pot thrash being a strain on the ears compared with the bass-noted melody of the Fiesta’s symposer system.

Throw it all together – the peaky din, the throttle delay, the long-throw gearshift – and the 208’s performance can seem a

TRACK NOTES

The 30th works somewhat better on

the track than it does on the road.

Primarily, that’s because the point

of most of the upgrades — improved

characteristics at nine-tenths — comes

to the fore more consistently and

compellingly when the bends are

empty and mostly well sighted.

Drive with enough persistence and

the GTi 30th’s aptitude for tarmac rally

stage-style tenaciousness bubbles

quickly to the surface. It is capable

of carrying huge speed through fast

corners — more so even than the Ford

Fiesta ST, which, during informal

testing on Millbrook’s compact outer

handling circuit, was 1.5sec off the

pace set by the 208.

Even here, though, the Ford’s

superior adjustability makes it the

more compelling steer. Unlike the

diff-sharing RCZ R, which indulges in

exuberant lift-off oversteer, the 208’s

stability bias means that it requires a

dab of the brakes to do significantly

more than simply tighten its line.

little disjointed compared with better-rounded rivals. Nevertheless, the 208’s brio – that scurrying exuberance which makes a supermini seem convincingly hot – is never in question.

RIDE AND HANDLING

AAABC

Right out of the box, the 30th feels like a different prospect from the flawed but likeable 208 GTi. In standard fettle, the car complements its over-engined silliness with a benignly sprung, amenable attitude to ride comfort. The special-edition model jettisons the compromise, adopting instead the uncannily hard-bodied rebound of a much more single-minded product.

Keeping you stapled to the road surface is the old-fashioned name of the game here, no matter what rippling after-effects are felt in the cabin. There’s plenty of road noise to go with it, too. This is a car capable of making the Fiesta ST seem well isolated. Of course, Peugeot is reasoning that the enthusiast niche of

potential buyers won’t bristle at such treatment as long as the results tell.

That these hardy souls will find the car an improvement is testament enough to the diff and wider tracks that it probably should have had in the first place. Where the standard model is a primitive, unruly steer to be cajoled around the place like a stroppy toddler, the GTi 30th is more appreciably in command of its faculties. The diff itself (a looser affair than was applied to the RCZ R, as the ‘Track Notes’ section explains) doesn’t overawe the front end. It just competently permits the application of more power from much earlier in a corner. And given that there’s usually a surfeit of power, and now considerably more grip, it makes the 208 a plainly quicker prospect.

That’s as advertised, and as you might expect. However, unfiltered entertainment on the public road, of the kind meted out so effusively by the Ford, is in shorter supply than we’d hoped. There are a number of reasons for this, but the main one, and the most familiar, is the 208’s steering, which continues to be a bugbear. As with the standard car, the

rack’s electric assistance is a muddle. The overly light off-centre haziness introduced to make that small wheel manageable at low and medium speeds deprives the set-up of any linearity when it suddenly wants to be all viscous and reactive at a gallop. Too often you find yourself sawing away at it, discontentedly. The 30th’s purchase (in the dry) is appreciable enough to drive through the shortfall, but unquestionably some of the new-found perkiness and precision delivered by the chassis is needlessly frittered away.

BUYING AND OWNING

AAABC

Peugeot’s pricing for the 208 GTi 30th may be ambitious, but it isn’t exorbitant for a big-hitting supermini in 2015. The Fiesta ST, which is on offer for less than £18k, continues to make every rival look expensive as things stand, but that kind of value is the exception, not the rule.

Nissan’s new Juke Nismo RS is barely any cheaper than this 208, for example. Both the Audi S1 and the

upcoming Mini JCW are considerably more expensive. And although they’re premium-brand offerings, neither the Audi nor the Mini has the advantage of limited-run supply to bolster residual values. Just 300 examples of the 30th anniversary 208 GTi will be made, 100 of which are coming to the UK and a decent number of which have already been sold. Our market sources are understandably conservative about the car’s likely residual values. If it becomes collectable, the GTi 30th could retain its financial worth better than anyone expects – although there’s no sign yet of the kind of demand that would be required to make that happen.

Otherwise, costs of ownership on the 208 GTi 30th promise to be quite low. Rated in group 30 for insurance, it’s in the same classification as the normal 208 GTi and the equivalent Ford Fiesta ST. A Clio RS 200 is only one group lower.

On fuel economy, the car’s performance is laudable. Our True MPG recorded 41.2mpg as a test average, more than 10 per cent better than the Fiesta ST returned. ◊

GTi 30th’s tight body control comes at the expense of comfort

Predictably, the 30th’s few trick items are mostly confetti tipped on a very conventional supermini. The new limited-slip differential stands out as a mechanical addition, but otherwise this is a hefty tweak of the 208 GTi’s blueprint. Thus, it retains front MacPherson struts and a rear torsion bar, electric power steering and disc brakes all round.

Peugeot 208 GTi 30th AUTOCAR VERDICT AAABC Fast and full-on, but lacks delicacy and easily accessed thrills

MATT

SAUNDERS

The two-tone colour scheme appealed

to me mainly because I liked the idea of peeling the wrap off to reveal a pristine red front end after a few years of use. Then I realised the black portion is paint, not sticker. Ho hum.

NIC

CACKETT

One word: glovebox. If you’re not

going to respect the right-hand drive market enough to give us a proper-sized one, just take it away, Peugeot. Insufficient space for a large birthday card is unacceptable.

SPEC ADVICE

Standard paint job is Rioja Red; avoid the £800 two-tone alternative. You get DAB radio and sat-nav as standard, so there’s no need to add much.

JOBS FOR

THE FACELIFT

l Correct the driving position. The diddy wheel and raised instruments still frustrate more drivers than they please.l Sharpen up the engine response.l Shorten the gearshift.

This is a quicker, more capable and more exciting 208 GTi than the one that first emerged a couple of years ago. Its improvements are bullishly obvious. Which is appropriate, because to get the best out of them, you must continually and unmercifully examine its limits. So it’s apparent just how much of a committed enthusiast you’d have to be to live with this 208

in the long term. Its faults notwithstanding, we were modestly fond of the standard car’s bed-ruffled way of doing things, and it’s inevitably that easy-going edge which has had to go.

Making the 208 GTi ostensibly better hasn’t necessarily made it any more likeable. This 30th birthday version has become a better hot hatch than its competition from Renaultsport, sure – but we’ll take a more communicative hot hatch over a brutish one most of the time. That explains the Fiesta ST’s monopoly of the hot supermini top spot, and the 30th’s distance from it.

The cover of Autocar’s 28 January issue read: ‘Shock: New Mondeo

beats every rival… and even BMW’. Why shouldn’t it? Today’s

preoccupation with ‘premium’ brands overlooks the simple fact that

Ford, in all probability, has engineering and manufacturing resources

quite equal to those of the established premium manufacturers.

Cost considerations may occasionally get in the way of, say,

dashboards of the most elegant construction, but it would appear no

expense has been spared on the most important, but hidden, technical

bits where the new Mondeo is concerned.

Indeed, a company capable of designing and engineering the recently

launched GT supercar can’t be all bad.

Mondeo? No shock

A TRIP DOWN MEMORY LANEYour archive story in the 21 January issue (‘Talbot Horizon road test’) struck a chord with me, because my late father ran a Talbot dealership in Croydon. His company cars in my formative years were often top-of the-range Solaras and Alpines, which in SX trim also had the first trip computers.

Funny how, all those years ago, this feature was considered the height of luxury — along with velour trim, a radio and the choice of a steel sliding sunroof or a vinyl roof. Electric windows (front only) were a source of wonder to school friends, and the mpg readout from the trip computer was notoriously optimistic.

On one demonstrator Alpine, we found that the mpg increased the longer you drove without resetting it. It finally reached, I seem to recall, 10,000mpg…Peter Vaughan

SLOGAN’S RUNThere was only one ad slogan that outshone Jaguar’s ‘Grace, space, pace’, and that was the same company’s other masterpiece: ‘A special kind of motoring that no other car in the world can offer’. Never bettered and as true today as ever.Clive Redfern

via email

BETWEEN THE LINESMost executives in the auto industry would be better employed as politicians. There were amusing and all too common examples of obtuse comments from them in the 28 January issue. Here are a couple of examples, with my interpretation of what they really meant.

Ralf Speth on JLR comparisons with BMW. Quote: “At the end of the day, we are not looking to be a volume player.” Meaning: “We’d love to be a volume player but don’t have the customers.”

Tyrone Johnson on the possibility of a Ford Fiesta RS. Quote: “Theoretically, yes.” Meaning: “It’s not practical.”

On a positive note, Anand Mahindra of Ssangyong gave clear answers to the questions put to him.Paul Levio

FREE FUELI read the excellent article by Lewis Kingston about driving to Amsterdam

and back in a Tesla (‘Home on the range’, 28 January) — a journey full of interest, concern, panic and, finally, relief. And the fuel added nothing to the costs!

Last year, I also left London at 9am on a two-day drive to the Netherlands. We got further than Amsterdam, making it to the Apeldoorn Het Loo Classic Car event in time for a 5pm beer or two.

We also had an interesting car — a Ferrari 250 GTE — and although not as quick as a Tesla, the V12 wail as we dropped a couple of cogs through some underpasses more than compensated.

People smiled and waved at us along the journey. And we only stopped for 10 minutes to take on fuel the whole trip. And really, the fuel cost us nothing! How was that? Because in the 48 hours we were away, the value of the car had increased by over £500.Geoff Moir

BANGING KETTLE’S DRUMReading Nigel Donnelly’s used choices in the 21 January issue (‘Rock-bottom roadsters for £1500’), I was amazed to see his recommendation for what is probably one of the most unreliable and poorly made cars to be sold in Britain in the past 20 years.

The MG F, or ‘kettle’ as we used to call them in the trade, should be recommended for use only as a cheap alternative to skip hire. I’ve yet to see one that was still in one piece or not in need of open heart surgery, made all the more complicated and expensive by its mid-engined configuration.

Personally, I’d replace that entire list with just two cars: the Mazda MX-5 and the Toyota MR2.Andrew Sloan

Andrew’s opinion? — MB

TOO MUCH CHOICEFollowing the Detroit motor show, with the release of the super-looking Ford GT together with the Honda NSX, surely this premium sports car/junior supercar market will be saturated in choice.

Add the new Audi R8 V10 due this year and Mercedes-AMG GT, plus the latest Lamborghini Huracán, the replacement for the Ferrari 458 and the soon-to-be-launched McLaren 650S. Oh, and not forgetting the new Porsche baby supercar being developed.

In a market still not recovered from the recession, it seems like oversupply could meet under-demand in a catastrophic collision.Alan Day

Citroën C4 Cactus

most notably the black leather and cloth pack, the panoramic sunroof and the colour reversing camera and parking sensors — add a not insignificant £1770 to the price of our car, so the whole thing comes in at £19,060. That’s a little excessive for a compact crossover with a three-cylinder engine, perhaps, but more on that in due course.

We’ve opted to test the small, efficient turbocharged 1.2-litre three-cylinder petrol engine. It seems only right to do so, given the prevalence of force-fed triples and the falling

price of petrol. Why opt for a diesel, after all, when you can have a quieter, more aurally gratifying engine that’s potentially as efficient and likely to be more rewarding in daily use?

The engine may be a cylinder short of a full picnic and small in capacity, but forced induction grants it the ability to produce 109bhp and 187lb ft, that torque peak being delivered at just 1500rpm and sent to the front wheels via a five-speed manual gearbox.

Citroën’s turbocharged triple has to pull only a svelte 1190kg, though,

For £12,990, you can get a Cactus — and net yourself something that has shades of the 2CV in its design and its mentality

The launch of the C4 Cactus marks the return of the more distinctive Citroën to the mainstream. If you want a car that encapsulates some

of the French brand’s hallmark outlandishness and need something that can seat four with ease, no longer do you have to opt for the relatively costly £17,855 DS4. Instead, for £12,990, you can get the Cactus — and net yourself something that has shades of the 2CV in its design and its mentality.

There are more reasons for choosing a Cactus than its original features, such as the supermarket trolley-cushioning Air Bumps on the side, though. It’s a new, different contender in the burgeoning crossover market and offers a fresh alternative to the likes of the Nissan Juke and Renault Captur. It’s offered with a range of economical

small petrol and diesel engines, a host of equipment choices and a selection of personalisation options — and it shouldn’t cost much to run.

Even in its most basic Touch trim, the Cactus comes with a DAB radio, cruise control, a speed limiter, a 7.0in display screen, an auxiliary port and other niceties such as electrically adjusted mirrors. That’s not bad for an inexpensive, rugged and relatively practical small crossover.

Step up to mid-range Feel and you get cosmetic upgrades, Bluetooth and air-con. Cars in flagship Flair specification, like ours, extend that equipment roster further with upgrades that include sat-nav, a better stereo, climate control, automatic wipers and lights, tinted rear windows, LED interior lighting and heated door mirrors. A few options —

so the C4 Cactus should perform acceptably in a straight line, as its relatively swift 0-62mph time of 9.3sec suggests. Top speed is 117mph.

It’s also a frugal engine, which should prove useful, given that our mileage tends to be quite high. Citroën claims an average of 60.1mpg, which, in conjunction with a 50-litre tank, should give a potential range of 660 miles. Of course, it’s unlikely that I’ll ever manage to attain such heady heights, but time will tell. Our car arrived with an indicated 37.1mpg average on the trip computer, so there’s some way to go. A CO2 output of 107g/km incurs an annual road tax bill of just £20, though, helping to keep running costs down.

You’re certainly not going to miss this aptly titled ‘Hello Yellow’ Cactus when it comes rolling down the road

towards you, either. Throw on a couple of silver stripes and you’ve got the ideal counterpart for a high-visibility jacket. That’s not to say the colour does it any disservice, mind. It’s a breath of fresh air in streets saturated with myriad silver and white cars. However, the shy would do better to opt for a more subtle shade, because our Citroën’s vivid hue is already proving to be a talking point among colleagues and passers-by. Fortunately, a selection of calmer shades is offered if you feel so inclined.

A standard three-year, 60,000-mile warranty wraps up the Cactus’s outwardly appealing package neatly. It’s not an exceptional warranty by any stretch, but it’s similar to that offered by rivals such as the Nissan Juke.

Regardless, the C4 Cactus, at a glance, appears to have much going for

The Mazda 3 is approaching the end of its tenure with us, and I have to say I’m going to miss it. although I had some misgivings about its

usefulness as a camera car when it first arrived, it has proven itself a flawless performer when it comes to the tricky business of providing a steady platform for taking photos.

This was demonstrated again at blyton Park circuit a few weeks ago, when it was used as a tracking car during the Lexus rC F group test (4 February issue). There’s plenty of room in the boot for a fully grown man and his camera gear, and the suspension dealt with lumpy surfaces, helping to keep the shots sharp. On larger jobs, I’ll often bring a lot of gear with me, so it’s really handy that the car has no problem swallowing a decent-sized step ladder, a rig and quite a few camera bags.

at the end of the day, I even took the Mazda out for a few laps around the track to explore the car’s limits. The

3 is relatively light, with a kerb weight of 1347kg, which is pretty decent compared with rivals in its class. The

suspension is fairly taut, helping the 3 to get around the corners without lurching over the outside wheels. It’s well balanced, too, and will wag its tail if you turn in with too much speed and lift off.

The steering wheel has plenty of adjustment to get it where you need it (often an irritating problem in other cars without reach adjustment), but I find the steering itself a little light for spirited driving.

Steady as he goes: 3’s smooth ride suits Luc’s needs

…but the spacing of the pedals is ideal

The Mazda proved remarkably adept around Blyton Park

Steering and clutch are a little too light…

The clutch is also on the light side, but the brake and throttle pedals are perfectly positioned for heel-and-toe downshifts — a useful attribute in a car that needs to be kept in a high rev band to exploit the engine’s power.

The 3’s daintiness and practicality are likely to be useful attributes during its final weeks with us. That’s because I’m going to take the car down to a round of the andros Trophy in Saint Dié des Vosges, France. I’m also going to take it snowboarding, extending the trip out to Ischgl, austria. I’ve worked out the total mileage of the journey to be around 1563 miles and, if my maths is correct, with the combination of the Mazda’s 51-litre tank and the 37mpg I’ve been

averaging, that should equate to around four full tanks of fuel.

To help me tackle the mountains of austria and keep the car pointing in the right direction, Michelin will supply us with a set of winter tyres that I’ll be fitting to the car just before leaving. If the car manages to get me to the alps and back with the capability with which it has handled everything else, it will be a fond farewell indeed. [email protected]

Generally I don’t use mechanical car washes, because they tend to do half a job and there’s no substitute for elbow grease.

However, the other day I was weak. It was late, I was in a rush and the GT86 was dirty, in the way only a car that visits a horse yard every day can be dirty. I was at a filling station with a mechanical wash, so I used it.

After it did its shabby, disconcerting, rag-twisting thing, I drove out, folded out the door mirrors and reattached the aerial. Then I spotted a problem.

Now, if you leave things protruding from a car, you get what you deserve, but a bent numberplate? I can barely comprehend how agricultural the machine must be.

Thankfully, the plate is aluminium, not plastic, so it bent rather than

snapping. The garage said they might foot the cost, but Toyota GB keep the V5C and thought it easier and cheaper to just make a new plate rather than posting me the relevant documentation.

So the GT86’s nose is now pristine again — as are the front tyres. It was actually the rear tyres that needed to be replaced (while making for amusing handling, they had all but expired), but we decided to put the two new Michelin Primacys (£120 each) on the front this time, while the existing front wheels were moved to the rear axle.

I was confident that I knew what had caused the front (now rear) offside tyre’s slow puncture, too. It started after someone borrowed the car to capture a drift photo, but I suspect some clumsy understeer eased the seal around the rim loose, allowing a tiny amount of air to escape.

No loss could be spotted in a water bath (at about 0.5psi per day, I’m not surprised), so I momentarily overinflated the tyre in the hope that the high pressure would coax it to reseal, then the tyre fitter tightened the valve. One of those things seems to have worked, so I can carry on wearing this pair down to the legal [email protected]

Mileage 7080It’s that time of year again — when the gritters come along seemingly every night and you feel the need to then clean your car seemingly every day.

However, I genuinely enjoy cleaning the D3, despite the fact that it’s freezing cold outside and it would

cost me only a few quid to get the job done by my local hand wash squad. Its gleaming metallic black paintwork and those lovely jet turbine silver alloy wheels come right back to life in front of my eyes when the winter grime is washed away.

I swear that the D3 feels sweeter

Alpina D3 Biturbo

to drive once all the dirt has been replaced by a shiny new hotwax finish, too. It’s a bit like the feeling you experience when you drive away from a service. Everything feels that little bit crisper and better, somehow, even though it probably isn’t.

In every other way, the D3 continues to be pretty much the perfect car for me. Its cabin still looks and feels brand new, even after six months and 7000 miles. Its twin-turbo diesel engine continues to loosen up and feels more potent than ever today, which is saying something. And its ride, handling, steering, brakes and general dynamic personality continue to blow me away. As does its 40-45mpg economy, allied to a real-world range of 450 miles.

The only aspect that irks me about running the car at the moment has nothing to do with the car itself but, instead, the price of diesel compared with the price of petrol. It still costs more than £60 to fill the D3’s tank from empty, whereas petrol-driving friends and colleagues are all boasting about

how much less it costs them to fill their cars now than it did a year ago.

Beyond this, however, I really do love the Alpina to bits. Which is why I keep recommending it to anyone serious who’s prepared to listen. When people then come back to me and say: “I tried it, I loved it, I bought one”, it makes me very happy [email protected]

Manufacturer-backed used car

schemes: I love them. In theory,

they mean that you just can’t go

wrong when it comes to buying

a used car. The dealer and ultimately

the manufacturer are obliged to look

after you, and if they don’t, they should

be thoroughly ashamed. Well, I am

delighted to report that Caterham Cars

has launched a new scheme designed

to offer buyers the finest pre-owned

Sevens in the country.

It is called Caterham Selected and

it means that enthusiasts looking for

a modern or even vintage Caterham

can now purchase a pre-owned model

benefiting from the same peace of mind

as buyers of a brand-new vehicle.

Owners of a Caterham Selected car

will enjoy several benefits: an 81-point

check (as defined by Caterham’s own

engineering team), 12 months’ parts

and labour warranty, a year’s aa

breakdown cover (including Home

Start), free MOT tests throughout their

ownership of the car and a Caterham

HPI certificate. all very reassuring.

There isn’t really an awful lot to go

wrong with Caterhams, and because you

can pretty much see all the innards from

the pavement, it doesn’t take long to

see if something is awry. The only issue

I ever have is working out exactly what

the specification is, because there is no

such thing as a standard Seven. but hey,

Caterham can tell you exactly how it left

the factory, either as a complete car or

a kit. That’s the beauty of Sevens: they

may look slightly similar but, like their

owners, they are brilliantly individual.

according to Caterham, all vehicles

covered by the scheme are chosen for

their superior condition, specification

and provenance. So let’s take a closer

look at some. The bargain basement

ones start at £15,995, which will bag

you a roadsport with either a K-series

or ford Sigma engine. There are also

some academy racers at this money Caterham says it picks only quality cars

three years ago for £6000, which included a year’s tax

and full service history. The mileage is currently 58,800.

The original battery was replaced under warranty, and the

only other problem has been a split breather pipe, which

was sorted for 50 quid. The fuel economy isn’t brilliant, but

Steve loves the V6 engine. He relishes the fact that he gets

to drive what is now such a rare and capable car. So far, he

has never seen another one going the other way.

The E39 generation of the BMW 5 Series saloon has a timeless design, a superb ride and decent handling. There’s also a fine range of strong engines, and the 3.5-litre V8-powered 535i is capable of topping out at 152mph.

The 535i isn’t the most common of E39s on the market, but we found a tidy 2003 model with an automatic gearbox

and respectable 112,000 miles under its belt for £1950. The engines themselves are strong, but look out for worn rear suspension bushes and electrical niggles with the ECu.For Elegant looker and a fabulous

There’s a good reason why many police constabularies across the uK have employed the Volvo V70 T5 as a motorway chariot: because they’re highly durable, practical and a genuinely fast estate car.

Powered by a turbocharged 2.3-litre five-cylinder engine kicking out 250bhp, it’s capable of 0-62mph in 6.8sec and will keep on accelerating to 155mph. Being

a Volvo, the V70 T5 possesses thick, comfortable seats and a high safety rating. There are some leggy examples in the classifieds, but look hard and you can bag a 2003 V70 T5 with a decent mileage for £1800.For Spacious cabin, good interior

One of the most well-equipped luxury saloons of the 1990s, the Lexus LS400 was arguably ahead of its time when it was launched. The company spent six years developing the LS400, racking up $1 billion in development costs.

It paid off, though. Six-figure mileages are a regular sight with these luxury barges, and there’s even one example

on record in america that has 902,000 miles on the clock and is still going strong. Opt for a post-1997 example and the 4.0-litre V8 engine pumps out 290bhp, helping the car to hit 155mph. For Superbly built luxury saloon with

The first generation of the Mercedes-Benz CLK430 is a rare machine, but a persistent scan of the classified ads will usually turn up this genuine four-seat coupé with all the toys and a thunderous 275bhp 4.3-litre V8 engine.

It’s good for 0-62mph in 6.4sec and a governed top speed of 155mph. Back in 2001, a brand-new CLK430 avantgarde would have set you back £56,000.

Today, the same car can be had for a fiver under two grand with less than 100,000 miles on the clock. However, Mercedes from this era are renowned for corrosion, so inspect any potential purchase carefully. For Powerful V8 engine, loads of

Designed by Chris Bangle, the Fiat Coupé was one of the controversial designer’s better-looking efforts. Based on the Fiat Tipo platform, this sharp-handling coupé was one of the fastest front-wheel-drive cars of its era.

220bhp. Buy a post-1998 Coupé with the six-speed manual gearbox and it will crack 0-62mph in 6.5sec and peak at 155mph. Clean, well-maintained examples can be had for £1800.For Dramatic styling, easily exploited

City carsaUTOcar TOP FIVes

volkswagen up From £8000VW’s city car is no revolution — just a trademark effort to beat its rivals on finish, refinement and economy. AAAAC1

hyundai i10 From £8000The latest i10 prioritises maturity over its former liveliness, but the refined result is still a first-rate city car. AAAAC

2

fiat Panda From £9000While the Panda may not have quite kept pace with its rivals, it still sells robust, practical charm better than any. AAAAC

3

renault twingo From £8000Cleverly packaged, rear-engined Twingo makes for a cute and quirky steer. Lacks its rivals’ sophistication. AAABC

4

citroën c1 From £8000Responsive enough and rides okay — but the C1 is noisy and a wee bit cramped compared with its betters. AAACC

Large crossovers

aUTOcar TOP FIVes

ford kuga From £21,000Although bigger outside and bolder in, it’s Ford’s unmatched dynamic that puts the Kuga top again. AAAAC1

Hyundai santa fe From £27,000Close to top here. Styling, quality and usability all exemplary. Available with seven seats, too. Pricey, though. AAAAC

2

Mazda cX-5 From £21,000Bigger than you’d think; probably better, too. Skyactiv diesel engine is one of the best; interior less compelling. AAABC

3

Honda cr-v From £21,000Decent, but incredibly sensitive to spec. Get it right and it’ll measure up. Get it wrong and it probably won’t. AAABC

4

Mitsubishi Outlander PHev From £32,000Ignore the initial outlay; what you’re buying here is an SUV with plug-in hybrid running costs, if used considerately.AAABC

ford fiesta st From £17,000Given the long wait, this could have been a huge anti-climax. It isn’t. Firm ride aside, it’s brilliant. And cheap. AAAAB1

Mini cooper s From £18,000Came a hair’s breadth from toppling the ST. Arguably the better-rounded option, but not quite as much fun. AAAAC

2

audi s1 From £25,000Outright speed ensures the S1 grades highly; huge expense keeps it third. Dependably good rather than great. AAAAC

3

renault clio rs 200 turbo From £19,000The Clio falls from grace thanks to its fussy EDC ’box and high price. But the chassis dazzles when pressed. AAAAC

4

Peugeot 208 Gti From £18,000Easy to live with, easy to enjoy and quick in a straight line, the 208 is the best GTi Peugeot has built in a decade. AAABC

No one produces as thorough a judgement on a new car as autocar. as well as acceleration, braking, fuel economy and noise tests, we carry out benchmark limit-handling tests, setting lap times if appropriate. but we don’t just drive at the track, essential as it is for finding the limits of performance; we also drive on a wide range of roads. We aim to produce the most complete, objective verdict in the business, so you can be sure how good a car is. Where we have tested more than one model in a range, the rating is for the range overall; where a model within the range meets our coveted five-star standard, it is highlighted in yellow.

FOR IMMEDIATE OUTRIGHT PURCHASE


An Arctic freeze gripped the UK during early 1982, laying the icy ground for an Autocar comparison test with a difference. A glut of

imported 4x4s threatened the Land Rover’s position as the best utilitarian go-anywhere vehicle, so the pretenders were gathered for a six-car test.

The vehicles were the Daihatsu F20 LX, Jeep Laredo, Subaru MV, Suzuki LJ80 V, Toyota Hi Lux and, er, Portaro Pampas 260 DL. A disparate group, as Autocar’s testers admitted: “Their only real common denominator is that each wheel can be driven at the flick of a lever, but how do they fare down on the farm?”

The farm? Yes, for this test, Autocar headed to Wye Agricultural College’s 2000-acre farm for a series of challenges to assess farm-worthiness. First up was the load test: how many calves, sheep or straw bales could each vehicle carry?

“The shape of the load space is as important as its cubic capacity; vehicles with intruding wheel arches, for instance, can take more tall, spindly calves than normally smaller but shorter and rounder sheep,” reckoned our testers, going on to declare the Hi Lux,

which could accommodate 12 animals or 22 bales, a clear winner.

Dynamic tests comprised towing and a drive across a snow-laden ploughed field. The Daihatsu “plodded through our test field in a no-nonsense manner” but “the lack of a tow-hitch precluded an assessment of its towing ability”.

The test hinted at the divide between utilitarian 4x4s and the more stylish luxury SUVs that predominate today. The Jeep, for example, “appears in the form of a King’s Road cruiser, kitted out in cloth seats, carpets and BF Goodrich-shod alloy wheels”. Even so, it “traversed our test field with scornful ease”.

The Romanian-designed, Portuguese-built Portaro “was the only vehicle on

test that actually looked like a Land Rover”. The car’s “load space and torquey engine gave it the thumbs-up from our experts as a real workhorse”.

Subaru’s MV pick-up was derided for “looking decidedly flashy and potentially incapable with its road tyres and low ground clearance”, but after waltzing through most of the tests, it “silenced its critics with an excellent performance and capacity”.

The diminutive Suzuki was “hardly worth considering as a load carrier; we got only three sheep into the back”. However, it “did not baulk at the ploughed field”.

Finally, the Hi Lux “topped all of the others in its ability to carry sheep, calves and hay”, and massive ground clearance “should ensure that the Toyota never gets hung up on the deepest of rutted tracks”.

Autocar ended with a note of caution: “When the Toyota was parked with one side on ice, the other on snow, the wheels on ice simply spun. This would have happened to any of the vehicles in our farmyard because they lack one feature: the locking differential, as offered by the Audi Quattro and Mercedes G-Wagen.”
