ANY INVITATION TO lose yourself in the bound volumes of the Autocar archive is welcome, but this one was irresistible. “Look up some old tests,” they said, “and tell us what you can about the variety of testing equipment the Autocar road tester has used over what now amounts to 90 years of the job.” The search yielded results disappointingly readily (see page 44). But it amused me most to find out that, while our timing gear’s plainly a bit more sophisticated and a lot more reliable today than it was even as recently as the 1990s, two things remain utterly irreplaceable as parts of it. With a tape measure and a roll of gaffer tape, all will be well. We even broke out the gaffer for our history-making figures…

THE BMW i4 will go into production in 2021 as a Tesla Model 3 rival, the German firm confirmed at the Paris show. Previewed as a concept at last year’s Frankfurt motor show, the i4 will have a range of up to 435 miles and will “redefine what is possible today for 0-60mph times”, according to BMW chairman Harald Krüger. The car is set to be based on the 4 Series GT’s structure to enable it to have more space and sportier driving dynamics than the i3 and it will use BMW’s fifth-generation electric powertrain architecture. A variety of battery packs will be offered, offsetting cost against range. BMW’s head of design, Adrian van Hooydonk, confirmed that the production car will be extremely close to the concept in appearance and…

THE UK’S NEW car market fell by 20.5% in September year on year, according to data from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. The sharp decline is largely due to the ongoing impact of the WLTP emissions regulations that were introduced on 1 September. These regulatory changes mean that many manufacturers are struggling to test and homologate variants of cars and some have been taken off sale as a result. A total of 338,334 new cars were registered last month, about 87,000 fewer than in September 2017. Volkswagen, in particular, has struggled to get its cars through testing on time, with a 55% year-on-year fall in registrations last month. By comparison, there was a notable 23.1% year-on-year rise in registrations in August as manufacturers tried to shift as much…

Here’s an answer for those who think that the existing Challenger SRT Hellcat and its 697bhp 6.2-litre supercharged V8 are a little tame. This Redeye edition uses most of the same mechanical package fitted to the limited-run SRT Demon that was offered in the US last year for amateur drag racers, and which proved capable of turning in sub-10-second quarter miles. The Redeye has slightly less power – 786bhp against the Demon’s 829bhp. Both use the same upgraded supercharger and have engines with strengthened connecting rods, stronger pistons and an upgraded lubrication system. It is definitely not a lithe sports car, with both sides of the Redeye’s power-to-weight ratio being almost equally well stacked. By Dodge’s official numbers it weighs 2050kg, yet is still claimed to be capable of both…

With its 800 metric horsepower, 800Nm of torque and 800kg of downforce, Woking’s new track-day immortal must surely have been on course, at one point, to be called ‘800R’. Who was it who dared to suggest that it might be worthy of association with Senna? And how much drive and inspiration did that decision provide? It’s easy to believe that the Senna’s creators must have been in inspired mood to have come up with such a complicated yet supremely clever, singularly exhilarating driver’s car as this. A cynic might suggest this is precisely the sentimental reaction that McLaren had reckoned on receiving for the Senna. But put a helmet on that cynic’s head, give them 10 laps in this car on any circuit you like, and you’ll likely find them…

Perhaps the single most remarkable thing about The Autocar (as it was then) conducting and publishing the world’s first road test back in 1928 is that neither we, nor anyone else, didn’t do it a hell of a lot sooner than that. By 1928, the car as we know it was more than 40 years old, for goodness’ sake. The first cars were 19th-century horseless carriages built at colossal expense as amusing playthings for the rich and brave and fitted with solid tyres, tiller steering and total-loss lubrication where oil was essentially poured from tank to ground via the insides of the engine. Yet there was still enough interest in them that in 1895 Henry Sturmey deemed demand to be sufficient for “a journal published in the interests of the…

The science of ergonomics didn’t really exist in 1928. The cabin of a car from that era was a chaotic place: dashboards had dials sited wherever was convenient for the plumbing or cabling they required, switches were scattered with the same expedience and there was still no convention for pedal placement. Alvis’s FA 12/50, apart from its surprising feature of front-wheel drive, is typical of the time. Autocar’s then sports editor, Sammy Davis, raced one at Le Mans in 1928 and had to wrestle with an accelerator pedal placed between those for clutch and footbrake, while the steering wheel was so close to his chest that croissants had to stay right off the 24 Hours menu. I know; I’ve driven it. A semblance of planning started to appear in the…

Delving into some pretty straightforward top-speed data allows us to see how the rate of progress in road car performance has changed over the years. Or rather, how little that rate of progress has changed, because the statistics show a very stable rate of development. Plotting those points on a line chart shows a quite linear rate of progress, the biggest leap forward coming with the arrival of the seminal McLaren F1. To demonstrate just how linear it has been, consider this: in the four decades leading up to the 1970s, the top speed of the fastest car increased by 77mph; in the four decades since, it has increased by 75mph. Extrapolating that out over the next 40 years, is it really possible there will be a road-legal production car…

Grease points. Decokes. Carburettor dashpot top-ups. If you bought a new car at any point from 1928 right through to the 1970s, you would be taking on a maintenance programme to rival that of a fractious diva. And while spending almost as many hours maintaining your motor car as you would driving it – or paying a dealer to do it – the structural core of your investment would continuously be attempting to change its state from robustly solid steel to crumbling flakes of rust. The operation manual of a Morris Minor from the early 1950s provides a clue to the scale and relentlessness of maintenance required. At 500 miles, six steering gear grease nipples required three or four strokes of a gun. At 1000 miles, the gearbox and back…

While standing on the first floor of the London Stock Exchange (LSE) with CEO Andy Palmer and 100 Aston Martin faithful, watching the entrance hall clock count down to 8am to begin Aston’s life as a public company, I fell to wondering which of the miracles that have sustained this unique company was the most significant. Was it that this 105-year-old story began with two men in a London shed setting out to build a better racing car and naming it after their favourite hill climb? Was it that seven times in its history, this company has been flat broke, only to be repeatedly rescued (as others were not) by people who knew its value? Or was it that this company, worth less than £1 at times in its unprofitable…

“First impressions? As I’d hoped and expected: it’s instantly comfortable” FIRST REPORT WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To see if the XC40 has the substance in daily use to match its eye-catching style and if its showroom success is justified Reader, a disclaimer: I’m a Volvo fan. I love its cars for not being ostentatiously German yet still premium, I love them for having a bit of cool Swedishness about them and I love them for their comfort. I sold my 2009 C30 a few years ago, and still regret it. I’m not alone, though. Volvo has undergone a resurgence in recent years, with an incredibly fresh model line-up (the oldest model, the V40, is five years old and will be replaced next year). Testament to this is last year’s sales…

QUESTION My son wants a used EV but does a high mileage so is nervous about finding chargers when he needs them. He likes the idea of plug-in hybrids but they don’t go far before the engine cuts in. Are there any other ways? Mark Williams, via email ANSWER Your son could always consider a range-extender, such as the BMW i3 REx. In these cars, a small on-board petrol engine charges up the battery as and when it gets low. BMW is about to halt production of the i3 REx, but used ones can be had for about £18,000. MP QUESTION I have an automatic Nissan Qashqai that has let us down on occasion. We would like another small-ish used SUV and another automatic but we’re worried they’re all unreliable.…

LIFE BEGINS AT XJ40 Jaguar XJ40 £4600 This year marks 50 years since the Jaguar XJ6 first hit the streets, and it’s hard now to conceive the impact this low-slung, groundbreaking beauty had in 1968. If it was a visual delight, it was even more impressive to drive and to be in: no other car at the time was so hushed and no other rode so well. The Series 2 improved the breed subtly while the Series 3, with its ugly bumpers and raised rear roofline, improved the space but lacked the grace. Something new was needed to launch the XJ into the modern era, and the all-new XJ40, launched in 1986, was the answer. Its angular styling and modern interior with all that electronic wizardry didn’t initially meet with…

The new Land Rover Defender has been spied testing on public roads for the first time as development of the rugged 4x4 ramps up ahead of its official 2020 on-sale date. The pictures show the new Defender in camo livery on the roads near the Jaguar Land Rover factory in Gaydon. Speaking at the Paris motor show, Jaguar Land Rover marketing chief Felix Bräutigam admitted their authenticity, confirming they were of the first prototype to leave Gaydon. Behind the usual disguise, the Defender’s bodywork looks to be approaching that of the finished product and the trademark boxy profile remains intact. Hints of the previous-generation Land Rover Discovery can also be seen in the front end, although the Defender looks to be shorter, with a lower roofline. “The first four test…

MINI’S PLANT IN Cowley has received long-term backing from the chairman of parent firm BMW, Harald Krüger – but it could still lose production capacity as a consequence of Brexit, with cars for mainland European sale being built in the Netherlands instead. Krüger did not elaborate on how the Mini plant could remain viable while losing Mini volume, but speculation suggests the company is drawing up plans that could lead to the BMW 1 Series and 2 Series being built on the Cowley line for UK sale. Krüger said: “A hard Brexit is a lose-lose situation. We lose, the customers lose and the countries involved lose. My hope is that the solution can be pragmatic, but we must plan for every eventuality. So we could move some Mini production from…

BUGATTI IS CLOSER than ever to justifying a second model line, boss Stephan Winkelmann revealed at the Paris motor show. Citing the success of the £4.5 million Bugatti Divo — a limited-to-40-examples Chiron tuned for maximum track performance, which sold out immediately — Winkelmann said: “What’s becoming clearer is that the enthusiasm is there to grow the brand. “Bugatti has never focused a car so much around dynamics, but the response to the Divo has been tremendous. Each car has been sold to an existing Chiron customer and the allocation has gone immediately. That shows the passion for this brand. “That shows me that we are ready to do more. In terms of the amount of people we have who love the brand, I feel we have proved a lot.…

BMW’S NEW X6 M performance SUV-coupé will feature the M5’s 4.4-litre V8 with an anticipated output of more than 600bhp. M Performance M50d and M50i variants are also planned as BMW proliferates its M sub-brand, although the M50i petrol X6 might not be offered in Europe as it’s geared towards the US market. The M50d will be powered by a quad-turbo 3.0-litre six-cylinder diesel engine producing more than 400bhp. All engines will be shared with the mechanically similar new X5. The new X6, like the X5, is based on BMW’s CLAR platform, with double-wishbone front and five-link rear suspension. Air suspension will be an option. Compared with the previous X6, the roofline will be less coupé-like than before, with a more steeply angled tailgate. At the front, the car will…

There’s an incredibly strong chance that Mercedes-Benz might just be on to something big with its new C300de. You’ll be well aware of the battering diesel cars have been subjected to over the past 18 months or so. Both government and the mainstream media have increasingly been pushing the idea that oil-burners are bad news for the general public’s health – particularly in busy city centres – even though any automotive engineer worth their salt will tell you that the most moden diesels are cleaner, less polluting and more efficient than ever before. But – and I don’t think this is a particularly unreasonable but – what if your diesel car was capable of running on nothing more than electricity in these built-up areas? And what if, once you’ve left…

Faster, sharper and more exciting than the base-model Porsche Carrera it is derived from, the 911 Carrera T is an exceptional sports car. But like most cars, it has been engineered to slot into the middle of a model hierarchy, which means there’s untapped potential within it. At least, that’s the way Iain Litchfield, founder of performance car tuning specialist Litchfield Motors, views it. His upgrades for the Carrera T include slightly stiffer KW springs, revised geometry for the front axle and subtle wheel spacers all round. The engine upgrades aren’t quite so subtle. Actually, the upgrades amount only to new engine management software and a much freer-flowing exhaust system, but the results are emphatic: power is up from 365bhp to 480bhp, while torque climbs from 332lb ft to 450lb…

MODEL TESTED SENNA Price £750,000 • Power 789bhp • Torque 590lb ft • 0-60mph 3.1sec • 30-70mph in fourth 4.1sec • Fuel economy 16.4mpg • CO2 emissions 280g/km • 70-0mph 37.4m This week’s road test subject is nothing more or less than the most extreme road car McLaren Automotive has built. You may not think that’s such a huge claim since McLaren Automotive has had only eight years in which to make road cars at all. But considering that the firm has already managed to squeeze the P1, 675LT and 720S into its fairly short but decidedly punchy back catalogue, and with the memory of the uncompromising F1 still fresh and relevant for a great many, it’s an introduction that’s certainly powerful enough to get our attention. The McLaren Senna might…

There are still 10 minutes to go before the cameras and lighting are set up for our interview, but Stephen Crossley is already engrossed in telling us all about his love of engineering. It’s immediately clear why he was a frontrunner in last year’s contest and how, despite being in his fourth month of an extensive automotive industry tour, he’s still as excited as if it was day one. Following his placements at McLaren, Honda and Nissan, Stephen has nearly completed his month at Toyota GB’s headquarters in Epsom, Surrey, with some of his time also spent at the vast Toyota Motor Manufacturing UK plant in Burnaston, Derbyshire. So it’s a good time to reflect on what he’s learned. Stephen’s experience at Toyota has been exceptional in that he hasn’t…

A window of opportunity Young families must make up a big proportion of buyers of small SUVs, so it seems odd that, in the constant striving to provide distinctive styling, some manufacturers are severely reducing visibility out of the rear windows for younger passengers. Being able to see what’s going on outside helps the journey go by peacefully. For example, the heavy kick-up in the beltline on the Volvo XC40 must be a pain, especially for little ones in rear-facing seats. And the shark-fin side pillars on the new DS 3 Crossback will be awful for youngsters and irritating for anyone else in the back seat, although I do admit that they are very distinctive. Vauxhall presumably recognised the issue with its dropping beltline on the Meriva, but the current…

MILEAGE 2119 WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To see if this quirkiest of compact crossovers has more to offer than its head-turning styling In my few short weeks of Aircross ownership, I hadn’t really had much chance to spend any extended journey time behind the wheel. This week presented the perfect opportunity: a friend’s wedding in the south of France, where the funky Citroën should feel right at home. Our route took us from London at 3am, bleary-eyed, down to Bordeaux via the Eurotunnel and 600 miles of French motorway network. Unexciting (and expensive) perhaps, but purpose-built for this kind of long-distance motoring. My passenger declared our start time “brutally early” and proceeded to sleep soundly until we’d passed Paris, waking only to acknowledge the customs official at the tunnel, and…

Here you go – I went nuts. After mentioning it for what must be months, I knuckled down, got the wheel spanner out and just swapped one wheel nut for another of the locking variety. The important thing is to keep the spare nuts in a very safe place – that way, you’ll end up with a massive collection of random nuggets of metal which you’ll never pass onto the next owner. I found a bag of Triumph Dolomite ones, probably in better condition than the rest of the car is now, if it still lives.…

Interested in having a Ferrari 360 in your garage? Consider for a moment the owner of a Modena F1, who last April lavished £9000 on servicing it. With such cars, the ticket price (the dealer selling this one-owner 53-reg car with 39,000 miles is asking £67,000) is only part of the story. Not that we wish to put you off buying a 360. The model represented a new chapter in Maranello’s history, for the F360 – unlike Ferraris before it and in particular its immediate predecessor, the F355 – was a perfectly usable and reliable supercar, capable, even, of being a daily driver. It’s why so many have higher than usual mileages and why prices are less sensitive to the odometer reading than those of other Ferrari models. It was…

It’s not often you can snap up the same sort of car James Bond drove in one of the films for peanuts, but this 1997 BMW 750i recently went at auction for £1650. Okay, purists will note that this car is on the standard wheelbase, whereas the car 007 used in Tomorrow Never Dies was actually the long-wheelbase 750iL model, but who’s quibbling over a few inches? Anyway, his car was much shorter by the end of the movie. This one has all its bodywork intact, a creamy V12 under the bonnet and even a current MOT. You can’t drive it from the back seat, though.…

A new Jaguar XJ is under development, Jaguar Land Rover CEO Ralf Speth confirmed for the first time at the Paris motor show. The future of the car is believed to have been hotly debated by Jaguar, as it has struggled for sales alongside rivals such as the Mercedes-Benz S-Class, BMW 7 Series and Audi A8. However, executives are now understood to have signed off the car’s design, with sources continuing to imply that Autocar’s scoop earlier this month, which suggested it will be reinvented as a purely electric saloon, is accurate. “As far as XJ is concerned, a flagship is a flagship and you can be assured that our design and engineering teams are already at work on some unbelievable solutions for it. For now, all I can say…

Mazda has confirmed that it will launch its first two electrified cars in 2020: a fully electric model and a rotary-engined hybrid range-extender. It will be the first time that a rotary engine has featured in any production car since 2012, when the Mazda RX-8 went off sale. The new motor will be able to run on liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), significantly reducing the cost of ownership, and the firm’s engine boss, Mitsuo Hitomi, previously told Autocar it would be “much, much quieter” than other range-extending hybrids. Mazda believes that the engine’s small size and comparatively high output make it easier to include multiple “electrification solutions”, suggesting it could run alongside a series of electric motors.…

European Union law makers have voted for car manufacturers to cut existing CO2 emission levels by 40% by 2030, and by 20% by 2025. EU leaders previously legislated that from 2015 a 30% reduction must be achieved by 2021. The targets are for a manufacturer’s fleet average, calculated across all the models they sell. The stringent targets will effectively require them to put a major emphasis on zero-emission cars such as electric vehicles. The EU said these targets can be met through an accelerated pick-up of EVs and that new cars with CO2 emissions of 50g/km or less must make up 20% of sales by 2025 and 35% by 2030. A previous fleet average target of 66g/km by 2030 was widely criticised by the car industry and described by the…

THE NEW SUZUKI Jimny has been designed to remain on sale for up to 20 years, according to the car’s engineering chief. The new version of the tiny 4x4 replaces the outgoing Jimny, which has been on sale virtually unchanged since its arrival in 1998. Toshinobu Nuimura, Suzuki’s vice chief engineer, said the long lifespan is necessary to offset the costs of developing the Jimny’s bespoke platform. Nuimura said: “This is a unique car, and sales are not so huge, so from a business point of view, we have to keep stable sales over a long period.” Nuimura said the firm would monitor industry trends, citing electrification as an area that Suzuki is “studying” in order to develop the car “in line with the market” and sustain its appeal and…

ALTHOUGH MERCEDES CURRENTLY has no plans to sell the GLC F-Cell in the UK, it isn’t any less worthy of your attention. Cars that use hydrogen fuel cells are a rare sight and, having driven the latest of the breed, we still struggle to see why there isn’t more will at government level to change this. Well, cost is probably a huge factor, but surely you can’t put too high a price on slowing the effect tailpipe emissions have on climate change? Anyway, the GLC F-Cell makes use of a totally new fuel cell system that’s compact enough to be housed entirely within the engine compartment. Fuelled by liquid hydrogen, it acts as an energy source for the 208bhp electric motor, which also draws power from 13.5kWh battery for a…

An expert racing driver might take a few hours to get to the edge of the Senna’s enormous performance envelope on a track day. For a keen amateur, it’d be a process of several visits and attempts, and of many quiet words with yourself in a darkened room. But the Senna makes the process of getting on terms with it so exciting, and instils such confidence, that its greatness as a track car is beyond question. We tested the car on different circuits, spending a little over an hour in all lapping at pace, and were still finding big chunks of pace and performance in the car when time forced us to stop. It’s plainly at its best on wider and more open circuits, where it can corner at really…

The four-valve cylinder head was seen as a powerful marketing tool in the 1980s, when a ‘16v’ badge on the back of a Mk2 Volkswagen Golf GTI added sexiness to the car. Yet multi-valve heads were old hat by the time Autocar started testing cars in 1928. The Stutz Bearcat used a multi-valve head in 1916 and both Bentley and Bugatti had four-valve heads. Fuel injection is another technology that gained glamour status at the hands of marketeers in the 1980s, but it had been around for decades. Like many advances, fuel injection was pioneered in aviation, where mixture control is more complicated due to extreme altitude changes. The first petrol injection system appeared on a Léon Levavasseur-designed aero engine – the first V8, no less – in 1902. Bit…

It could be expressed in a thousand different ways just how much faster cars have become since 1928. Rather than compare the top speed of the Austin Seven, subject of Autocar’s very first road test, with that of its modern-day equivalent, for instance, let me instead offer you this: early in 1928, the land speed record stood at 207mph. In 300,000 years of human history, it was the fastest any person had travelled while still in contact with the surface of the earth. It took Blue Bird III, a 24-litre aviation engine, the flat sliver of land that is Daytona Beach in Florida and the skill and bravery of that totem of human endeavour, Malcolm Campbell, to achieve it. In 2018, any one of us who can afford to do…

So what will the cars tested by Autocar 90 years from now be like? One thing seems certain: despite all the talk, they won’t be fully autonomous. There may be fully autonomous devices on the road but they won’t be cars. If you’ve ever parked in Heathrow’s business car park and got one of those funny little bubbles to take you to the terminal, you don’t think you’re stepping into a car when you climb aboard, you think you’re stepping into a driverless pod, because that is precisely what it is. Cars that don’t need drivers aren’t cars, and that’s the end of it. But do they need wheels? The wheel is pretty old tech – about 6000 years old, in fact. So will it really be replaced within the…

Over the years, when Stephen has not been too busy tinkering with disruptive vehicle technology, he and some friends decided to build a robot to compete in Robot Wars before the television show was axed by the BBC earlier this year. He still plans to work on the robot, though, and talked us through some of the engineering inspiration he’d found while observing vehicle development. “Quite a lot of the equipment to help with [vehicle production] is built with a space frame; a box section, welded up quickly. The reason we decided to do that with our robot was simplicity and it’s the reason why car makers employ it too. So it’s quite interesting to see that kind of thing done. But the combat robot is a very different thing…

MILEAGE 10,861 WHY WE’RE RUNNING IT To discover if Vauxhall’s flagship offers an unbeatable mix of practicality, value and executive comfort in estate form Diesel ain’t that bad, right? That’s what we keep shouting, anyway, along with various industry bigwigs denouncing its demonisation. Well, the following episode has undermined my confidence somewhat. Our fleet Vauxhall Insignia Sports Tourer was unable to regenerate its diesel particulate filter (DPF). DPFs are designed to capture the black soot traditionally associated with diesel exhausts in order to help keep emissions down. The idea is they then clean themselves, or ‘regenerate’, during sustained periods of higher-rev driving by burning this soot out of the filter. DPFs normally clog up, therefore, if you only do short, staccato runs. But I do loads of motorway driving. You’ll…

S is for Kia Sedona Large, spacious and versatile – or is it just a big lump of a van? In value for money terms, the Kia Sedona has always been a no-brainer. This much space and equipment has never been cheaper, and you get a full-size car for the cost of something much smaller. There’s a choice of large but smooth petrol V6 and a frugal diesel, which is probably the better buy. Inside, there’s no shortage of space and seats for seven, with a useful runway between the middle seats for easy all-round access and removable rear seats to let you create a massive amount of room for extra luggage. Just £700 buys a 2.9 CRDi with 115,000 miles.…

An expert’s view SCOTT CHIVERS, SELF-TAUGHT FERRARI MECHANIC “A 360 Modena F1 has been my daily driver for almost nine years. Using salvaged parts, I converted it to a Challenge Stradale: carbonfibre brakes, extra power, 100kg weight reduction, the lot. I bought the car with 21,000 miles and now it’s done 70,000 and never put a foot wrong. It’s even on the same clutch. I’ve got 355s but the 360 is a huge step forward in terms of usability and reliability. You have to drop the engine on the 355 to change the belts, but on the 360 you just remove a panel behind the seats. Some parts are expensive, though. For example, the wheel bearings are sealed in the hub, so you need new hubs – at £800 a…

Mazda 6 Price new £25,795. Price now £14,690 Anyone looking for a competent family saloon that’s both well-equipped and good to drive could do a lot worse than rock up at their local Mazda dealer and get themselves inside a 6. This year, Mazda took the step of facelifting the car, with minor mods to the styling, suspension tweaks and a new engine option. However, buy a 2017 pre-facelift version of our favourite 2.2d SE L Nav model and you could save more than £11,000, enough for a long family holiday to the Cayman Islands.…
