Eagle Speedster in South of France

The Jaguar E-Type took the world by storm when it was first introduced back in March of 1961. And even to this day, it remains one of the most sought after cars in the entire world. A car so beautiful that current generation supercar owners shy away, parking their cars well out of eye-shot of the E-Type at any car show where one makes an appearance, for fear of being overshadowed by its shear presence. Sure, any E-Type owner will be the first to admit that the car, however magnificent it may look, does have it’s fair share of problems...

2012 Mercedes-Benz CL63 AMG

Let’s just cut straight to the chase. This deceptively demure execu-coupe weighs more than 4800 pounds and can sprint to 60 mph in four seconds. That would be four seconds flat. The CL63 AMG enters triple-digit speeds in 8.8 seconds, trips the quarter-mile lights in 12.3 at 121 mph, attains 150 mph in less than 20, and maxes out at 190 mph, whereupon its governor says “Das ist genug.” That’s one governor we’re inclined to agree with, particularly on U.S. highways. You may be able to find places where you deem 190 mph to be reasonable...

Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT

The Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT is 461bhp version of Jeep's famous off-roader, powered by a huge 6.4-litre V8. Performance is impressive for a car this size, with 0-62mph taking just 4.8 seconds and a top speed of 158mph. That puts the Jeep on a par with the £84,790 Porsche Cayenne Turbo. The SRT goes on sale across Europe early next year. Despite that kind of performance, fuel economy is better than you might expect thanks to a cylinder deactivation system that shuts down half the pistons under light engine loads. Only one trim...
