You might think that with four cylinders less than the more powerful W12 model, the new Bentley Continental GT V8 would be inferior, but that's far from the truth.
The new 4.0-litre twin-turbo V8, co-developed with Audi, produces 500bhp and 660Nm of torque, which is enough to fire it all the way to 188mph. And as you'll see in our video, you'll have loads more fun in the process.
Not only does the lighter engine sharpen up the steering, but the Exhaust has been tuned for a genuine V8 growl which gives this car a sportier character. And the icing on the cake? It uses 40 per cent less fuel than the W12.
Porsche 911 Cabriolet video review - Auto Express
Watch our video review of the new Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
In the world of the 911, the Cabriolet has never been the traditionalist's choice. Not as good looking as the coupe, or quite as focused, Porsche enthusiasts have always dismissed the drop-top as a car for those who like to cruise rather than drive.
But that's all about to change with the new 2012 911 Cabriolet. Thanks to an extremely clever hood design, the new cabrio is as handsome as the coupe when the roof's up -- and with a stiffer, yet lighter chassis than the old car, it promises to be just as good to drive.

2013 Jaguar XF Sportbrake Fahrbericht
Zum Fahrbericht: http://motorzeitung.de/news.php?newsid=145003
In dem Segment des Jaguar XF stellt der Kombi in Deutschland mit knapp 60 Prozent Marktanteil die erfolgreichsten Modelle. Aber darf sich die britische Traditionsmarke für edle und schnelle Fahrzeuge erlauben, diesem Hang zum dicken Heck und Nützlichkeit nachzugeben? Die Frage beschäftigt besonders so manchen alten Freund, der schon den XF als Frevel verstanden hatte und doch lernen musste, dass die Käufer das anders sehen. Jaguar hat Erfolg mit seinen neuen Modellen. Wiederholt sich das beim XF Sportbrake, der in Deutschland ab 24. November 2012 beim Händler stehen wird?

Refined and refreshing, the XF Sportbrake is the newest addition to the Jaguar range.
The XF Sportbrake it's a great addition to the range. It keeps all of the usual refinements and dynamic ability of the XF while giving more options to the consumer. The XF is fantastic to drive; it's very sporty when it needs to be, yet very relaxed and comfortable when cruising along. The addition of the air suspension to the rear will really help with low capacities as well.
The Jaguar XF Sportbrake's profile is both attractive and distinctive, making a real presence on the road with the unmistakeable style that Jaguar is known for. The Sportbrake's streamlined body shape, which is elongated by the lengthened roof and accented with vented front wings, also includes a one-piece tailgate with integrated spoiler.
The emphasis of the XF Sportbrake's interior is on space and comfort, with all seats fully upholstered in soft and durable leather.
Despite delivering the kind of power you'd expect from a Jaguar, the XF Sportbrake doesn't compromise when it comes to the environment. It features the latest Start-Stop technology, which cuts the engine to save fuel while you're in traffic or waiting at the lights.

2012 Audi A7 vs Jaguar XFR mashup review
( http://www.TFLcar.com ) Anybody can race and review a Camaro vs. a Mustang in a straight line. It's been done tens of thousands of times over the years, but what about an 2012 Audi A7 vs a Jaguar XFR?
Jaguar SUV Crossover, XF Estate and X-Type Replacement
Jaguar Crossover:
Jaguar is considering adding an SUV model to its lineup, according to Autocar, and the model may soon get the green light for production.
"We need a crossover and we need to stop being a saloon-based [sedan] company," Jaguar's new global brand chief Adrian Hallmark told the British car magazine.
Hallmark also said that the company needed to develop all-wheel drive saloon/sedans in order to appeal to more consumers, particularly in the regions of the East Coast in America and parts of Europe.
The Jaguar boss added that the British automaker will be building lightweight vehicles, hinting at the use of aluminum in the construction of Jaguar models. Hallmark said that lighweight cars will be part of the company's "future DNA."
Jaguar X-Type:
Jaguar has given the green light to a replacement for the X-Type Jaguar is currently exposed in a global market where most analysts see consumers moving towards 'downsizing'.
Competing in the established BMW 3-series market sector is seen as essential for any premium carmaker.
Work is said to be well advanced on the X-Type replacement and "small sports car", though there's no news on the platform for either of the cars.
Xf Estate:
We make no secret of the fact that we think the Jaguar XF is an exceptional car. It combines all the qualities buyers desire in a luxury mid-size saloon in a more appealing way than any of the German competition. It's elegant, comfortable, quick and a very nice place to be. Whether you're in the new 3.0 litre diesel -- where the performance belies the car's economy -or in the 5.0 litre XFR which carries its speed in a way that will simply astonish, there is nothing better for the money.
But ever since the XF launched there has been talk of other variants. We are still certain we will see a Jaguar XF Coupe before too long, but one chestnut that has surfaced with monotonous regularity is the XF Estate. It's an appealing proposition, and surely a car that would sell in droves. The idea of an XFR Estate is an extremely appetising one -- it would show the RS6 Avant and the E63 Estate a thing or two -- but halo estates won't do much for Jaguar's bottom line, even if they did for its reputation.
So why hasn't Jaguar got on with an estate version of the XF? It's a good question, and one that Jaguar won't answer directly. We reported back in March that we thought the XF Esate would be shown at Frankfurt. When we asked Jaguar last month if they were planning to bring the XF Estate to Frankfurt they wouldn't comment. But we did talk to a well-placed source at Jaguar who said the reason there has been no XF Estate so far is the lack of a four wheel drive platform.
It appears that Jaguar feel a 4WD platform is essential to make the XF Estate viable -- especially in Europe. And it seems to be a route Jaguar are reluctant to go down. But surely, there would still be a big market for rear-wheel drive estates from Jaguar? After all, Audi, BMW and Mercedes make a pretty good job of selling RWD Estates. Yes, the RS6 Avant is 4WD, but the M5 Touring isn't. And nor are the majority of Estates. In fact, BMW doesn't even offer an xDrive option in the UK, even if it does in Europe and the US.
So will Jaguar make the XF Estate? Possibly -- 4WD platform or not. The XF 3.0 litre diesel Estate would be a big seller, and the XFR Estate would be a fabulous car.
