Frontline MG B LE60 review: V8 restomod heaven | PistonHeads
Переглядів 97 тис.7 місяців тому
Frontline has been working its magic on the MG B since 1991, but never before has it produced a limited edition restomod gem quite like this one. To celebrate 60 years of the beautiful B in 2023, the LE60 cranks the dial even further: more power from the Rover V8 (380hp), more attitude to the design, a more capable chassis than ever before and a more beautiful interior, too. This Frontline LE60...
Can a modded Mk5 Golf GTI beat a Mk8 Golf R? | PH Project Car Pt.6
Переглядів 86 тис.8 місяців тому
The moment of truth. Now brimming with engine and chassis upgrades, can we get anywhere near a £50,000 Golf R 20 Years edition around a circuit? After pitting the stock cars against each other in episode 2, and our GTI coming in 5.5 seconds slower, we head to Curborough Sprint Course to see if PH Project Car has closed the gap. It's now running semi-slick tyres, adjustable suspension, beefier b...
This is the best performance car of the last 25 years | PistonHeads
Переглядів 194 тис.9 місяців тому
The PH audience voted for the Toyota GR Yaris, Lotus Elise S1, BMW M5 E39, Caterham 620R and Porsche Carrera GT as the best performance cars since 1998 - but there can only be one winner. To do that, we needed to bring the winners of the best sports car, hot hatch, saloon, track car and supercar since 1998 together in an epic showdown, with Snowdonia serving as the stage for our series finale. ...
525hp Porsche 911 S/T (992) in-depth with Andreas Preuninger | PistonHeads

Join Porsche's Head of GT Cars, Andreas Preuninger, and Matt for an all-you-need-to-know look at the stunning new 911 S/T. Created to celebrate 60 years of the 911 and 75 years of Porsches, the S/T is designed as the ultimate 911 for road driving, combining the 525hp, 9,000rpm 4.0-litre engine of the GT3 RS with the Touring body and reduced track focus. Oh yes, plus a six-speed manual with ligh...
How much faster is our VW Golf GTI Mk5 with these mods? | PH Project Car Pt.5
Переглядів 77 тис.9 місяців тому
Our Golf GTI is as grippy as it gets in the corners, but needs more grunt on the straights to match the Golf R. Time to address that... The temptation at the start of any project is to jump straight into power mods, but doing so without at least looking into brake, tyre and suspension upgrades could be a recipe for, in the GTI’s case, armfuls of understeer. We’ve done all of that now, and have ...
Porsche Carrera GT: the best supercar of the last 25 years | PistonHeads

There have been many truly great supercars launched since 1998, but who could resist the one with both a naturally aspirated F1 engine and a clutch pedal? An amalgam of two aborted motorsport projects and essentially built in secret, the Carrera GT Type 980 was probably always destined for greatness. It was the first production car to feature a carbon fibre-reinforced plastic monocoque chassis,...

2023 BMW M2 vs M3 CSL (E46) | PistonHeads

The BMW M2 represents the end of an era - it's the final new M car to launch without any form of electrification. A pretty big deal, then, given BMW's legendary history when it comes to combustion engines. And speaking of legends... The E46 M3 CSL isn't an M2 alternative, but is another end of an era M car. Back in 2003, it was the most powerful atmospheric straight-six BMW, with 360hp - and no...

Our GTI gets treated to new coilovers, tyres and Audi S3 brakes. How much time is it worth on track? Resisting the urge to chuck more power at it, we turn our attention to giving PH Project Car's chassis a serious makeover using parts and accessories found on eBay. Sticking to our strict budget of £10,000 - including the car - we splash out on delicious new BC Racing coilovers, bag a full set o...
Caterham 620R & Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0 (997.2): the best track car of the last 25 years

The Caterham Seven 620R has been voted the best track car of the past 25 years by PHers. But there’s a little more to it than that… See, following very close behind in the voting was the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0. And if you could take both cars to Snowdonia for a couple of days - a place that seems custom-made to play host to them - then, of course, you're going to. So that’s exactly what we did....

Well, we say stock, but we've made some slight modifications to prevent our GTI from blowing up the moment it heads out on a hot lap. Our first port of call is a visit to PH expert Pip Simcoe at BRS Automotive to give the GTI a once over and prove that we ha...

Ultimately, nothing could deny the E39 M5 from its rightful place on the PH saloon throne - but one came mighty close... A lot has naturally changed over the last quarter of a century. But if the E39 represents the pinnacle of the performance saloon from PH's debut year in 1998, our runner-up - the Alfa Romeo Giulia Quadrifoglio - shows that the fast three-box model is still alive and kicking. ...

    Good to watch, my wife has a very well maintained mk5 GTI as a daily, sometimes I'm allowed to drive it. Its a standard 2006 5 door, her classic is for winter and farming use Golf mk2 Country Syncro. I love them both but she is VW golf mad. My daily is an Elise S2 1zz and my classic is a Lancia integrale evo2. The mk5 will never go, on the road it will out drag most cars, its incredibly comfortable, handles brilliantly and more than anyone could want. The GTI is the best all round every day car, before the integrale went to a stupid price this was the best everyday car. Not anymore. Buy a good mk5 GTI and you won't want for anything else.

    The lefthand version of the 206 RC is miles better than the 306 GTI. Better brakes, better steering feel, better engine, more revy, more power, much better Recaros, less weight. The UK righthand versions are horrid, but the lefthand version runs rings around the 306.

    The DTurbos were the 306 to have. Bosch pumps and the Garrett turbo. Turn the fuel up and disconnect the waste gate for a smoky riot. The suspension was it's downfall, the torsion beam rear axle would lose bearings on the arms and become slacks, likewise it would eat front ball joints giving it snap oversteer front and rear which was downright dangerous.

    stratos has been my dream car since i was a small boy. living out in the sticks in new york, we didnt have alot of knowledge on rally racing, closest thing was the dukes of hazard tv show. my father, being a poor single dad, had to do laundry on the weekends at a local laundry mat. he would buy my brother and i a small toy to keep us occupied while he washed clothes. i got a toy lancia stratos. we didnt think it was a real car, due to its futuristic style. i got to push it one time, and it got lost under tge wash machine. i never saw it again, until i got into rally racing video games, and was like, "thats my car!" every video i ever watched has brought a tear to my eye. no other car can do that. replica or not, theres something special about this car. ill never see one irl, nor ever drive one. im glad to atleast be able to see videos.

    I have the Mk1 and Mk2 Roadster. Both totally different characteristics yet extremely likeable. The design and build quality is way up there and I have no doubt the Mk1 will be a classic. I will be on the lookout for a Mk3 TTRS in the future to complete the collection. Fair and honest review overall.
