Autocar's unique road test broadens it horizons

It's time for the Christmas Road Test. We've already covered Concorde, the Ark Royal, Eurostar, a Liebherr mining truck and a Volvo racing yacht. Each tested in extreme detail and put in the context of its competitors.

The subject of this year's Autocar Christmas Road Test is no less spectacular. It's 73m long, 25m high, weighs 277 tonnes and each of its four 6700kg engines produces 70,000lb of thrust. Yes, it's the Airbus A380.
