It seems that in certain circumstances the ABS system gives too much kickback through the brake pedal. Drivers tend to think this means braking action is delayed. It isn't - if they don't lift their foot they'll find the brakes wohttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/caddy-cts-v-2010-02-09?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/caddy-cts-v-2010-02-09?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingHennessey tuning pack gives Cadillac’s CTS-V a 707bhp, 211mph kickTue, 09 Feb 2010 12:53:23 ZCadillac reckons its CTS-V is the fastest production V8 saloon in the world, but extreme car fettler Hennessey Performance clearly doesn't think this is enough. So, instead of making do with 556bhp, you can now have it turned up to 707, which means 0-60mph in 3.3 seconds and a top speed of 211mhttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/stig-superbowl-2010-0209?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/stig-superbowl-2010-0209?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingBut our tame racing driver does touch down during the half-time ad slot Tue, 09 Feb 2010 14:39:15 ZIt was Super Bowl time last weekend in the States, which usually results in some cool car adverts finding their way onto YouTube for us to laugh at. But not this year. Even Audi, with the beginnings of a reputation for good Bowl ads, disappointed with the slightly try-hard Green Police effort (http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/new-bmw-x5-2010-02-09?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/new-bmw-x5-2010-02-09?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingBMW’s facelifted SUV gets more power and lower emissionsTue, 09 Feb 2010 11:38:34 ZThere's some sorcery going on at BMW. In the usual realm of science, giving an engine more grunt results in higher MPG and industrial levels of C02. Not in Germany. This is the facelifted X5, which will be shown at Geneva. It gets three new engines, each of which is more powerful yet also more ehttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/porsche-911-turbo-s-2010-02-08?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/porsche-911-turbo-s-2010-02-08?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingNew über-flagship will debut at Geneva motor show next monthMon, 08 Feb 2010 12:51:28 ZAs run-out models go, this has to be the ultimate - Porsche's fastest 911 yet, the Turbo S. The 523bhp all-wheel-drive flagship will make its debut at Geneva and sit at the top of the 911 range for the last two years of 997 production. It's the first 911 to hook up steering wheel-mounted paddle shhttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/toyota-recall-2010-02-01?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/toyota-recall-2010-02-01?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingHow big is the human danger? And how much will Toyota's reputation suffer?Tue, 02 Feb 2010 13:20:50 ZToyota’s recall programme, for two separate issues that can possibly jam throttles open, has now gone pretty much global. It’s getting towards nine million vehicles. Two questions. Most important, how big is the human danger? Less important, but still a real biggie, is how much will Toyhttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mclaren-gtr-2010-02-03?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/mclaren-gtr-2010-02-03?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingDigital artist renders a race version of McLaren’s MP4 12C. We approveThu, 04 Feb 2010 11:31:07 ZPut Gulf Racing stripes on anything and it'll look cool (proven by a TopGear trip to Le Mans last year where one of the highlights was a hilarious blue and orange Rover Metro), but when it's a McLaren MP4 we're definitely talking sub-zero. These are the renderings of a digital artist called Jonhttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/renault-wind-2010-02-02?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoinghttp://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/renault-wind-2010-02-02?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=ongoingHardtop two-seater convertible unveiled ahead of Geneva debut. Get a lungful of that...Tue, 02 Feb 2010 10:50:16 ZWith a ceremonial parp, Renault will release Wind at the Geneva motor show in early March. It will be a welcome little emission: Wind is Renault's all-new two-seater coupe-roadster, based on the Twingo. See more Renault Wind pics  Looks kinda cute, doesn't it?

Oh God, not him again, etcMon, 01 Feb 2010 11:47:24 ZYes, we know that - having done no more than read the title of this story - some of you are already aiming a bolus of virtual phlegm at our comments boxes, no doubt accusing us of being obsessed with Ken ‘Gymkhana' Block and his powersliding exploits. You may have a point.

They were taken in Thailand, where shoddy biological transformations occur daily. And today is no different. Because under that Aston Martin bodywork lies.... an Opel Calibra. We reckon it's rather convincing. Of course, a grope around would reveal naff suspension a
