production" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Supersaloon concept now offered for the road, albeit with less power and exclusively for Australia to begin with <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/volvo" target="_blank">Volvo</a> is to make an <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volvo/s60" target="_blank">S60</a> Polestar based on the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volvo/s60/first-drives/volvo-s60-polestar" target="_blank">wild 501bhp concept</a> from last year.</p><p>Initially only available in limited numbers for the Australian market, it could be offered elsewhere if demand is sufficient.</p><p>The most significant change for the production S60 Polestar from the concept is the power; whilst still powered by a 3.0-litre turbocharged inline six, maximum output is down 150bhp to 350bhp.</p><p>However, it remains extensively modified over the standard <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volvo/s60/first-drives/volvo-s60-t6-4wd-se" target="_blank">S60 T6</a>, with a larger Borg Warner turbo, a new intercooler, an ECU remap and a stainless steel racing exhaust system.</p><p>The Polestar S60 offers more than 500Nm (369lb ft) of torque, a higher figure than both the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/m3" target="_blank">BMW M3</a> (295lb ft) and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/rs4-avant" target="_blank">Audi RS4</a> (317lb ft). Polestar claims a 0-62mph time of 4.9sec for the 4WD S60. Top speed is limited to 155mph.</p><p>The production version of the S60 Polestar has retained much of the concept's suspension upgrades. Along with adjustable Öhlins dampers and 80 per cent stiffer springs, Polestar has added new top mounts, upgraded toe links, improved stabilisers and a strut brace to boost handling performance.</p><p>The dynamic overhaul is completed by bespoke Polestar wheels wrapped in 235/40R19 Michelin Pilot Super Sport tyres. Ventilated discs all-round provide stopping power, with the fronts measuring 336x29mm and the rears 302x22mm. Jurid pads feature on the front with Brembos at the rear.</p><p>Polestar has revised the transmission of the S60 to provide more driver engagement. Whilst still a six-speed automatic, the software has been modified to allow for quicker shifts and a launch control feature is now standard. Tweaks to the 4WD system apportion more torque to the rear wheels than previously.</p><p>There are plenty of visual clues as to the latest S60's performance flagship status. A Polestar bodykit including a front bumper and rear diffuser gives the S60 more aggression, whilst the logo of the Swedish touring car outfit can be found on badges around the body.

The latter is capable of 0-62mph in 2.9sec and has a 218mph top speed.</p><p>The bright yellow paint of the Aventador Anniversario is 'Giallo Maggio', or 'Yellow May'. But perhaps more striking than the paint is the bodykit applied by Lamborghini to the limited-edition Aventador.</p><p>It appears to take inspiration from the recently unveiled <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/geneva-motor-show-lamborghini-veneno" target="_blank">Veneno</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/lamborghini/gallardo/first-drives/lamborghini-gallardo-lp560-4-first-drive" target="_blank">facelifted Gallardo</a>, with a deeply jutting front spoiler, more aggressive rear diffuser and deeper side skirts. The exterior also features '50' badges, indicating its special status, and black alloy wheels.</p><p>The interior matches the colour scheme outside, with yellow quilted leather adorning the seats and door cards. Yellow leather can also be found on the transmission tunnel, whilst the black leather on the dash features yellow piping.</p><p>Further details on the Aventador LP720-4 50 Anniversario Edition will be announced by Lamborghini when the doors to the Shanghai show open on Saturday.</p><p>Click here for more <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show">Shanghai motor show 2013 news</a>.</p><p><strong>Matt Bird</strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-benz-launch-production-version-concept-gla">Mercedes-Benz to launch production version of Concept GLA</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 18 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/mercedes-benz-launch-production-version-concept-gla" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/mercedes-benz-gla-15.jpg" alt="Mercedes-Benz to launch production version of Concept GLA " title="Mercedes-Benz to launch production version of Concept GLA " width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> New entry to the compact SUV segment designed to rival the likes of the Audi Q3 and Range Rover Evoque <p>A production version of the striking <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/mercedes-benz">Mercedes-Benz</a> Concept GLA is poised to enter the booming compact SUV segment.</p><p>The Concept GLA is one of the stars of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show">Shanghai motor show</a> that gets under way on Saturday, and is described by insiders as being as much as 90 per cent representative of the GLA production car that will go on sale early next year, priced from around £25,000.</p><p>It's also the latest model to be spun off Mercedes' latest front-drive MFA architecture, following the latest <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/a-class">A-class</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/b-class">B-class</a> models and the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/cla">CLA saloon</a>.</p><p>The concept is 4383mm long, 1978mm wide and 1579mm high — dimensions that are understood to be almost identical to those of the production car. The wheelbase of the concept has not been given, but it's believed to be the same 2699mm employed by its siblings.</p><p>These dimensions closely match the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/q3">Audi Q3</a>, <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/x1">BMW X1</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/range-rover-evoque">Range Rover Evoque</a> — the three chief rivals that the GLA will face when it reaches the UK market next year. We'll get to see the finished production car either at the tail end of this year or at the Detroit motor show early next year.</p><p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/mercedes-benz">Mercedes'</a> sales and marketing chief, Joachim Schmidt, describes the GLA's role in the compact SUV segment as "a sporty and more coupé-like evolution of this category of vehicle".</p><p>The front end features perhaps the most modern treatment yet of Mercedes' familiar core design, with just two horizontal bars used for the front grille, which places the marque's three-pointed star logo at its centre.</p><p>The front headlights are among the more outlandish concept car features. They feature laser beam projectors that act as headlights in the first instance, but can also project pictures or films controlled through Mercedes' interior Comand Online infotainment system, or work in real time to project sat-nav functions on to the road ahead.</p><p>This feature is not due to make production in the near future, let alone on the GLA, but the core exterior design of the car is tipped to make it over from concept to production relatively unchanged.</p><p>The five-door Concept GLA's gently sloping roofline flows into the tailgate to give a sleek and sporty silhouette. This profile is enhanced by a glasshouse that uses frameless doors and narrows towards the rear, a 'dropping line' that runs from the front headlights to the rear wheelarches and a beltline that rises towards the C-pillars.</p><p>The C-pillars wrap around to the rear over slim tail-lights to visually widen the rear of the car at the bottom, giving a sporty, squat stance. Only the large alloys and some of the detailing on the bumpers and lights will be toned down for production.</p><p>That's despite the fact that test mules of the GLA have hinted that it will have the look of a raised <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/a-class">A-class</a>. Insiders now insist there will be much more Concept GLA design than A-class in the production car.</p><p>At first glance, the car's four-seat cabin offers the outlandish look that you'd expect of a concept car, but look past some of the material and trim details and it's easy to spot the links that the production GLA will have to the A-class, B-class and CLA.</p><p>The layout on the centre console and the positioning of the round air vents, multimedia screen and instrument binnacle are recognisable from the other MFA models and will feature in the production GLA.</p><p>A turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine — also familiar from the other MFA cars — offers 208bhp in the Concept GLA. Drive is channelled to all four wheels through a seven-speed, dual-clutch, automatic transmission and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/mercedes-benz">Mercedes'</a> proprietary 4Matic system.</p><p>The engine line-up of the production car is not yet known, but it's likely Mercedes UK will cherry-pick units from the German market's wider line-up rather than taking all options, as it has done with the CLA.</p><p>If the exclusively four-cylinder engine line-up of the CLA is reflected in the GLA, a 120bhp 1.6-litre petrol will be used in the base GLA180, a 134bhp 1.8-litre diesel in the GLA200 CDI, a 168bhp 2.1-litre diesel in the GLA220 CDI and the concept's 208bhp 2.0-litre petrol in the GLA250.</p><p>The four-wheel drive system should be offered with the more potent engines, including the GLA250, with front-wheel drive supplied as standard.</p><p>Later next year the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/mercedes-benz">Mercedes-Benz</a> GLA range will be crowned by a GLA45 AMG version. The hot range-topper will use the same running gear as the A45 and CLA45 models, meaning power will be sent to all four wheels by a turbocharged 2.0-litre petrol engine with 335bhp.</p><p> </p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/mokka/first-drives/vauxhall-mokka-exclusiv-17-cdti-2wd-first-drive-review">Vauxhall Mokka Exclusiv 1.7 CDTi 2WD first drive review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 10:00 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/mokka/first-drives/vauxhall-mokka-exclusiv-17-cdti-2wd-first-drive-review" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/vauxhall-mokka-newer-4.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Mokka Exclusiv 1.7 CDTi 2WD first drive review" title="Vauxhall Mokka Exclusiv 1.7 CDTi 2WD first drive review" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Vauxhall Mokka, the rival to the likes of the Nissan Juke and Skoda Yeti, arrives in two-wheel-drive form We've driven four-wheel-drive variants of the Vauxhall Mokka before, but this is our first opportunity to try the baby SUV in the UK in a form that will, presumably, end up being more familiar to most Mokka customers: one with two-wheel drive.And that sounds like a sensible proposition to us. We can't imagine Mokka owners relying on the extra abilities of four-wheel drive very often.Aside from outright traction, AWD gives no advantage, so for most of the year – or away from the kind of mud that we suspect a Mokka will hardly ever see, the front-drive version makes more sense.Especially given that the front-wheel-drive Mokka, in the 1.7 CDTi form that you see here, comes in £1545 cheaper than the AWD variant in the same trim. With the 128bhp engine, the front-drive car also has CO2 emissions of 124g/km instead of 129g/km.And since it's lighter and has less drag from the drivetrain, it also shaves nearly half a second from the 4x4's 0-62mph time, at 10.0sec versus 10.4sec.Importantly, front-drive and four-wheel-drive versions look the same, too. That means there's a hint of pseudo-ruggedness about the Mokka's upright stance. Not a lot, granted, but just about enough to present itself to a Skoda Yeti or Nissan Juke with its head held high.The main objective benefit of the Mokka's height, one suspects, is that the seats are an easy height to slip into, or to slip a child seat into.</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="5" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/bmw-i3-go-sale-july">BMW i3 to go on sale in July</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/bmw-i3-go-sale-july" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/bmw-i3-sale-7.jpg" alt="BMW i3 to go on sale in July" title="BMW i3 to go on sale in July" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> New 'megacity' hatchback available to order in July, price tag of around £35,000 <p>Order books for the new <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/first-rides-bmw-i8-hybrid-sportscar-and-all-electric-i3">BMW i3</a> 'megacity' vehicle will open at the very end of July, according to a <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/bmw">BMW</a> source.</p><p>It's rumoured that the all-electric version will cost in the region of £35,000, while the range extender model will command a premium and be priced at around £38,000.</p><p>Due to arrive in showrooms at the tail end of October, the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/bmw-i-range-expand">new i3</a> will be offered with an all-electric or range extender powetrain. </p><p>This means that <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/bmw">BMW's</a> innovative new car will command a substantially higher price tag than alternatives like the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/nissan/leaf">Nissan Leaf</a>, <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/renault-zoe-dynamique-intens-first-drive-review">Renault Zoe</a> or <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/chevrolet/volt">Chevrolet Volt</a>.</p><p>The <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/first-rides-bmw-i8-hybrid-sportscar-and-all-electric-i3">hybrid i8 sports car</a>, the second model in BMW's new i range, is set to arrive in 2014 and will cost approximately £100,000.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-bmw-z4-m-coupe-e85-2006-2009">Used car buying guide: BMW Z4 M Coupe (E85) (2006-2009)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-bmw-z4-m-coupe-e85-2006-2009" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/bmw-z4mcoupe-2006-2008-used-buying-guide-2.jpg" alt="" title="Most Z4M Coupes are enthusiast-owned, so pick the best example" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Whilst the BMW Z4 M was objectively a slight disappointment, it's not without appeal. Used values are strong, so now's the time to enjoy one. <p>The <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/z4">BMW Z4</a> M coupe looked absolutely fantastic but when we drove it for the first time we were rather disappointed. Even more so when it took part in a handling day at Oulton Park. And if you rummage around in your loft and find your copy of Autocar in which we first drove the Z3 M Coupe you'll read very much the same verdict.</p><p>But that was when the cars were new. Actually, many of us fell in love with the Z3 coupe's wacky looks so wholeheartedly that we were able to ignore the car's dynamic failings. Today the M coupe is a cult car. The Z3 M Roadster, disappointing when new, now seems a steal and oddly desirable.</p><p>And so too is the Z4 M coupe. BMW didn't import vast numbers; only 200 per year which over a life lasting from 2006 until early 2009 means that there's a relatively small population. That the Z4 M coupe was a little disappointing to drive was partly due to the fact that within its swoopy and attractive shell it contained some of BMW's best equipment.</p><p>The straight-six engine is straight from the E46 M3 and has the same grey-iron crankcase that is super strong. 'It's a fantastic engine,' says George Aygeton from London BMW specialists Technosport. 'You do see the odd problem with the Vanos system but that's not down to any inherent fault. What can happen is that electronics can fail or the bolts in the system vibrate loose. It's pretty obvious if that's happened but I'd say you'd be unlucky to have any problems with the engine at all. It's a lump that should easily go to 200,000 miles without smoking or burning excessive amounts of oil.'</p><p>Aygeton also points out that the coupe is lighter than the M3 coupe and therefore puts even less of a strain on its components. 'You're talking normal wear and tear with most components,' he explains, 'clutches, for example, should last a long time if not abused.'</p><p>The rock solid engineering means that even the highest mileage coupe we found has still got 150,000 miles ahead of it. It's too early to tell whether the Z4 M coupe will join the Z3 M coupe as a cult car, but it's highly likely.</p><p>The earlier coupe's prices are temptingly cheap for average mileage examples and considerably more than that for pristine low mile cars. We'd expect prices to drop further as mileages add up and for prices to then hold steady. With rarity and captivating looks the Z4 M coupe will never be short of fans, even if it doesn't have the dynamic excellence of a Cayman S.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Check disc and pad wear because a new set will tear £1200 out of your wallet.</p><p>Check the carpets for damp. Fixing sunroof or windscreen leaks is simple, but drying the upholstery is less so.</p><p>On a car of this age there's no reason why there should not be full BMW service history. Ask about warranty remaining, too.</p><p>Take the car for a decent test drive. It should track straight and feel as tight as a new car. Include a section of motorway driving.</p><p><strong>To search for a used BMW Z4M Coupe for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/bmw/z4m-coupe" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="7" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-jeep-wrangler-1997-2006">Used car buying guide: Jeep Wrangler (1997-2006)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-jeep-wrangler-1997-2006" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/jeep-wrangler-1997-2006-used-buying-guide-4.jpg" alt="" title="Rear axle and diff are Wrangler's Achilles' heel. Check anti-roll bars also" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Having always lived in the shadow of the Land Rover Defender in Britain, the Jeep Wrangler is a shrewd second-hand 4x4 buy. <p>If you want to get the full Marlboro-smoking image without having to risk your health and don't like checked shirts then the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/jeep/wrangler">Jeep Wrangler</a> is the answer. Tracing its roots back to the original wartime Willys, the iconic Jeep has been in production in various forms ever since. We'll keep to the TJ series because as you'll read, it's not as if Chrysler has messed too much with the original concept.</p><p>The Jeep changed its name to Wrangler in 1987 when the CJ series was discontinued. First came the YJ Wrangler, which is easy to spot because it had rectangular headlamps. That styling change was considered heresy by Jeep fans and so for the TJ series the traditional round headlamps were restored.</p><p>Wranglers tend to have below average mileage because they're not the most practical vehicles on sale and are not ideal for pounding up motorways. According to James McManus from London Jeep Specialists in Enfield the majority of Wranglers are the soft top model and used mainly in the summer for fun. Go back to the 1997 Wranglers and you're dealing with some serious old tech.</p><p>Both the 2.5-litre four-cylinder and 4.0-litre six-cylinder in-line engines were pushrod motors, possibly the last vehicles on sale to have not embraced the overhead camshaft. Both engines are seriously thirsty, crude and strong. Neither should give trouble. In 2006 the 4.0-litre straight six was replaced by a much more modern and sophisticated 3.8-litre V6 that was also used in the Cherokee and Grand Cherokee. A year later the 2.8-litre diesel arrived and with it at last just about reasonable fuel economy.</p><p>Many fewer Wranglers than Defenders will actually go off road but that's not down to lack of toughness because off-road the Jeep is equally unstoppable. Ironically, McManus says that the weakest area of the otherwise bullet-proof Wrangler is the rear axle. These can get noisy and will require a rebuild costing around £500. If you're after a soft-top model then check for leaks around the door frames. The good news is that you can buy excellent aftermarket tops from the US in a variety of different styles – some with roll-up sides for example. A new top will cost around £600 by the time it arrives in the UK.</p><p>Gearboxes are very strong but if the car has an automatic gearbox and is taken off-road it can take in water and that can cause serious problems. Electrical systems are rugged with the only likely issue being with the '97 and '98 model year Wranglers' immobilisers. Later cars have chip-in-key immobilisers and don't give trouble.

Never a truer word said, you might think. He's actually citing the hulking supercar's "mechanical-feeling environment" that includes a relatively sparse cabin and soundtrack to make your skin bristle. But he could equally be referring to the minimum buy-in price of eighty grand, the intimidating looks, or the plain exclusivity of a Lamborghini.</p><p>However, despite spending time on Maranello's payroll before his conversion from horse to bull, Higgins reckons the Murciélago is "what an Italian V12 is all about". "For the presence, history and sound, accept no substitute," he says.</p><p>Audi's first thorough contribution to Sant'Agata's alumnus may provide a less brutal driving experience and less plush cabin than the Diablo that came before, but it still yields authentic Lambo muscle, with healthy dashes of liveability and mechanical soundness thanks to its German parentage.</p><p>Order an Aventador and you'll be £242k poorer, with a long wait in store. But the hullabaloo caused by that car is bringing the Murciélago to light amongst new customers as well as regulars, and the early 6.2-litre cars are the (relative) bargains of the breed compared to the later 'LP'-badged 6.5s. Depreciation shouldn't detract, either – the very cheapest examples available are still worth half their original sticker price. Controlled supply by the factory and those improved mechanicals are to thank.</p><p>So, what of maintenance? Such is the specialist nature of the car that labour prices will accentuate that part of the bill, although the 6.2 is now mature enough to qualify for a discount from most official service centres and independent specialists alike. But in terms of engineering weaknesses, those Audi genes mean there shouldn't be too many surprises.</p><p>Clutch life is often a talking point amongst owners, though, and while longevity improved over the years, paddle-operated E-gear transmissions in particular must be treated with care. Higgins says you'll get a feel for how to treat the throttle during upshifts (sometimes coming off, sometimes pinning it), but it's left-foot braking and hill holding that cause most wear. At £3k plus fitting for a new unit, it's worthy of assessment.</p><p>Lamborghini is proud that its Luc Donckerwolke-era design purity has repelled many tweakers, so modded Murciélagos are much rarer than doctored Diablos. Matters of taste aside, such changes scupper residual value, and may, as in the case of oversize aftermarket wheels that overwork the diffs, cause damage.</p><p>One official upgrade that came late in the model's lifespan was carbon-ceramic brakes for 2006. A £7780 option, the uprated stoppers are significant enough to still affect values today. In terms of aesthetics, 'Ad Personam' factory-ratified customisation of paint, wheels or interior should be taken at face value.</p><p>The options list was short, with no must-haves, but there's a premium to pay for the ultra-rare 40th Anniversary edition model. Finished in metallic blue-green, that car also featured carbon trim, special wheels, an upgraded interior and a blueprinted engine built to smaller tolerances, unleashing a few extra bhp.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Two hours in a specialist workshop should reveal any weaknesses. Inspection costs around £300 at Lamborghini London; could prove a bargain...</p><p>Special attention should be paid to clutches. Diagnostics will report on E-gear clutch plates while eyeball inspection caters for manuals.</p><p>Test the front lift system. Bright red power steering fluid points to leaking seals.</p><p>Stone chips in the trailing edge of wheel arches and corrosion along the door base are the most common.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Lamborghini Murcielago for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/lamborghini/murcielago" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="9" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-land-rover-discovery-3-2004-2009">Used car buying guide: Land Rover Discovery 3 (2004-2009)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-land-rover-discovery-3-2004-2009" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/landrover-discovery3-2004-2009-used-buying-guide-2.jpg" alt="" title="'A' and 'B' services will cost about £450 and £550 respectively" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The Discovery 3 was a revelation when it appeared in 2004, and even the plushest of these off-roaders provides good value today. <p>While <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/land-rover">Land Rover</a> dealer forecourts are busier than ever with the stramash incited by the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/range-rover-evoque">Evoque</a>, a steady demand for the current <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/discovery">Discovery</a> 4 rolls on – a demand that outstrips supply sufficiently to keep the market for the older (but technically similar) Discovery 3 on the boil.</p><p>The Disco 3's combination of refinement, flexibility and off-roadprowess put it top of the class versus other big 4x4s of the day, and now even the more luxurious examples are second-hand prospects to tempt buyers from other sectors. </p><p>It's the auto-only, top-spec HSE TDV6 that Lovejoy recommends as best value. It cost a hefty £11,500 more than the cheapest seven-seat auto in 2004, but the leather, sat nav, premium sound system, and three-section sunroof that come as standard on HSEs can be yours for a tiny premium now.</p><p>While retained value is usually strong, there are two niche choices that don't tend to fare so well. The poverty-spec five-seat manual TDV6 relinquished three key features - two extra seats, air suspension and Terrain Response switchable traction/transmission/ride height – massively limiting its appeal.</p><p>The 295bhp 4.4-litre petrol V8 addressed the TDV6's lack of poke (sadly, the more powerful 3.0-litre diesel is the preserve of the Discovery 4), and is enjoyably refined, but 18.8mpg didn't court many suitors, so used prices are soft. If you don't cover many miles, though, it's good value, as service costs are similar to the diesel, and road tax is identical for cars registered before 23rd March 2006, or marginally more for newer examples .</p><p>A last-gasp facelift came in August 2008, a year before the Discovery 4 arrived, including colour-coded plastic exterior panels, improved Bluetooth and other minor tweaks. Clear side indicators confirm facelift status.</p><p>There are no big peaks in the TDV6 service schedule until seven years/105,000 miles when a timing belt change will result in a bill of about £1000 at Lookers. Independents will be cheaper of course, but stray from specialist care and you'll take a hit on residual value as well as missing out on software updates essential to keep the dash free from warning lights. Most owners are diligent, though, and well-tended cars will last – Lookers have a farming customer who's TDV6 auto has covered 197,000 miles without drama, save for an early transmission oil change.</p><p>Recalls and service actions include failing steering wheel clock springs that flag an airbag alert, height sensor malfunction, brake vacuum hose changes and high pressure fuel pump replacement. All will be executed at no charge, but call a dealer to check if any are pending.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Screeching sound from the rear probably means a sticky parking brake. If a two-hour clean up fails, replacements cost about £500.</p><p>Test all settings on the ride height switch. Lopsidedness means height sensor failure, buzzing means the air suspension compressor's damaged.</p><p>Feel the front carpets for dampness. Fixing sunroof or windscreen leaks is usually simple, but drying the upholstery less so.</p><p>Juddering or hesitancy from auto 'box could mean an early transmission oil change is required.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Land Rover Discovery 3 for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds?Category=used-cars&M=401&YearFrom=2004" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="10" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-ferrari-456-1992-2003">Used car buying guide: Ferrari 456 (1992-2003)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-ferrari-456-1992-2003" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/ferrari-456-1994-1997-used-buying-guide-4.jpg" alt="" title="V12 is very tough, but valve guides can fail" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The forgotten family-friendly Ferrari is a stunning car. Here's how to secure the best secondhand one. <p>If you want the appeal of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/ferrari">Ferrari</a> 456 in a nutshell, ask yourself what else you can buy for the money, is powered by a glorious V12 engine, will do 186mph, hit 60mph in little more than 5sec, is utterly gorgeous and carries one of the most coveted badges on earth on its carbon fibre bonnet.</p><p>Oh, and seats four in comfort. Exactly.</p><p>Launched back in 1992, the 456 has suffered the same fate as all two plus two Ferraris and failed entirely to cling to its value like its more glamorous two seat stablemates. Which means you can now buy a Ferrari 456 for the same money as a specced-up <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/ford/focus">Ford Focus</a>.</p><p>And don't think you'd be crazy to do so. Russell Smith works at Ferrari gurus Bob Houghton and explained that, certain well known issues aside, the 456 is an extremely strong and durable supercar, and one that stands up to the challenge of both very high and very low mileages remarkably well.</p><p>For instance, 'In all the years we've been looking after them, I've never had to do a bottom end engine rebuild.' Nor does it deserve to be tarred with the same brush as earlier multi-cylinder Ferraris like its 400 and 412 predecessor that really could reduce grown men to tears.</p><p>But first what, exactly, are you buying? The 456 returned Ferrari to 2+2 building in 1992 after a three year hiatus following the mercy killing of the 412 in 1989. In many ways it marked a new beginning for Maranello with a fresh design language for the exterior, a brand new cabin that didn't look like a repository for unwanted Fiat switchgear and, most importantly, a brand new 5.5-litre V12 motor.</p><p>And it was brilliant: fast, with excellent handling, remarkable ride quality and, for the first time in any mainstream Ferrari road car, a genuinely spacious interior. It was called a 2+2 but the rear seats were proper chairs for properly proportioned people.</p><p>UK sales started in 1993 and were joined three years later by an automatic GTA version. But this was no multi-speed flappy paddle miracle, but a determinedly old school, four-speed slusher. Unsurprisingly, it's the manuals that fetch more money today.</p><p>The only other big change was the introduction of the 456M (modificato) in 1998. It wasn't a transformation but with better aerodynamics, a cleaner interior, an even prettier exterior and a token six extra horsepower, it was a worthwhile update, good enough to keep sales ticking over until the 612 Scaglietti picked up the reins in 2003.</p><p>Why are they so cheap? As previously mentioned, four seat Ferraris never do as well as those with just two, but there are also quite reasonably quantities out there as Ferrari built over 3000 units in just over a decade. There's something else going on too: the 456 is of an age where it's too old to be considered relevant or interesting to a modern audience, but too young to have yet emerged as a classic.</p><p>True, this is no Daytona or F40 but, at the same time, it's hard to see values of nice, well maintained cars sinking much further than where they are now.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>The wheels are as prone to kerb damage as any supercar and indicative of at least one careless previous owner. Budget around £100 per corner to refurbish.</p><p>The clutches are quite strong and should last 25-30,000 miles, but many cars are well past that now. Replacement costs around £2500.</p><p>Exhausts. Stainless system means you won't blow holes in the pipes, but silencing units can fail and cost £2000 per side to replace</p><p>History. Has it been undersealed every three years as Ferrari recommends? If not, the car could have been neglected.</p><p>Centre console control panel. Rubberised cover can lift and bubble and is difficult to replace.</p><p>Service history. If it's not complete, walk. Houghton charges £750 for an annual, and only £1500 for cambelts, because engine stays in situ.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Ferrari 456 for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/ferrari/456" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="11" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/zafira-tourer/first-drives/vauxhall-zafira-tourer-16-cdti-first-drive-review">Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 1.6 CDTi first drive review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 02:34 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/zafira-tourer/first-drives/vauxhall-zafira-tourer-16-cdti-first-drive-review" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/Zafira.jpg" alt="Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 1.6 CDTi " title="Vauxhall Zafira Tourer 1.6 CDTi " width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The Zafira Tourer is the first Vauxhall to get the company's all-new 1.6-litre turbodiesel This is a late pre-production prototype of Vauxhall's big MPV, powered by the company's all-new 1.6-litre turbodiesel engine. At the recent technical seminar for the Vauxhall-Opel's new powertrains and transmissions, company engineers were very upfront about the failings of the current diesel engine range and the inadequacy of the manual transmissions.Until now, Vauxhall has mostly used diesel engines based on existing units from Fiat and Isuzu. Indeed, Vauxhall-Opel had a Powertrain Engineering centre in Turin, which was born out of its alliance with Fiat.GM Europe retained the facility, which now employs 1000 engineers, although project manager Gianmarco Boretto says that GM engineers from around the world were involved in development, which needed '90 million' Finite Element computer calculations.Boretto says the clean-sheet project to create a mid-size diesel engine family began in 2008. The primary aims were to achieve 'class-leading' power density and for the unit to become a benchmark for low 'noise, vibration and harshness'.The final production engine is based around an aluminium block and a single, water-cooled, variable geometry turbocharger. Twin balancer shafts - mounted in the block - will be optional, depending on which market the engines are aimed at, but it seems likely that they will be fitted the UK-spec Vauxhalls.The direct-injection system operates as high as 2000bar and it uses eight-hole injectors. These injectors can make as many as 10 'pre-injections' in each piston cycle, which is one of the ways of reducing the distinctive 'diesel rattle'.To help speed warm-up, the engine's water pump can be disabled via an electromagnetic clutch. Boretto also claims that the new unit has the lowest internal friction of any current engine (a calculation expressed by 'Friction Mean Effective Pressure') and develops 1kw of power per 1.49kg of weight, also a claimed best-in-class figure.In order to meet the super-stringent EU6 pollution regulations due in Sept 2014, the engine can be fitted with either Selective Catalyst or a Lean NoX Trap, depending on the size of the host vehicle. A 'close-coupled' Diesel Particulate Filter is fitted to all versions of the engine, its design and positioning make it easier to 'regenerate' and burn off the exhaust soot that it traps.</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="12" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/peugeot/208/first-drives/peugeot-208-gti-uk-first-drive">Peugeot 208 GTI UK first drive</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 07:29 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/peugeot/208/first-drives/peugeot-208-gti-uk-first-drive" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/Peugeot-208-GTi-UK-3.jpg" alt="Peugeot 208 GTi UK first drive" title="Peugeot 208 GTi UK first drive" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The Peugeot 208 GTI, the French firm's latest hot hatch contender, tested on British roads There's a moment, just as your throttle-prod lifts its engine revs above idle, when this Peugeot's exhaust issues a ghostly note from the past. That's when it sounds like a 205 GTI - and when those familiar with its ancestor might feel a faint anticipatory frisson.Peugeot goes out of its way to say that the 208 GTI is not, and cannot be, a 21st century replay of its '80s classic, while liberally referencing one of the greatest GTIs of them all. Instead, the unspoken message is that this is a much better Peugeot GTI than the 206 and 207 that have come in between, that the 208 GTI recaptures some of the spirit of the original while serving it with the sanitising shot of refinement, quality, convenience and safety that a car of today must provide.But at heart, the package remains the same – a potent engine in small body, subtly honed to maximise driver entertainment.

Meetings with reps from major notebook vendors are oftentimes an exercise in enthusiasm coupled with frustration; I usually like the direction a company is taking their designs (Toshiba in particular still never seems to get the attention they deserve when HP and Dell continue to languish, chasing their tails), and then when I ask for the speeds and feeds the display is invariably 1366x768. Cue the lecture.</p> <p> That's why Toshiba's KIRAbook was such a welcome surprise. It's a good looking ultrabook, employing a magnesium alloy shell and Corning Concore Glass, and if it's not exceptionally original in its aesthetic it's at least very well built and specced to please. I'll get into details about its fit and finish later, but for now, all you need to know is this:</p> <p> 13.3" IPS 2560x1440 display. <em>Standard.</em></p> <p> <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6905/toshibas-new-kirabook-brings-qhd-to-the-windows-pc"><img alt="" src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/6905/Toshiba%20KIRAbook%20Front%20Left%2045_575px.jpg" /></a></p> <p> It's true we're still essentially stuck with the 16:9 aspect ratio on the PC side while Apple's 13" Retina MacBook Pro offers a 2560x1600 panel, but this is still a <em>very</em> welcome change of pace.</p> <p> As for the rest of the KIRAbook, Toshiba's reps talked a heavy game about its design and for what it's worth, they raise excellent points. The port layout is smart, the keyboard was designed specifically to avoid backlight bleed from the individual keys, and they're using specially engineered Harmon Kardon speakers that are surprisingly loud for such a slim chassis. Impressively, the whole thing is just 2.6 pounds.</p> <p> <div>Gallery: <a href="/Gallery/Album/2740" target="_blank">Toshiba KIRAbook</a><div><a href="/Gallery/Album/2740#1" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2740/Toshiba KIRAbook Front Left 45_thumb.jpg" width="85" height="85" border="0"/></a><a href="/Gallery/Album/2740#2" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2740/Toshiba KIRAbook Front Open_thumb.jpg" width="85" height="85" border="0"/></a><a href="/Gallery/Album/2740#3" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2740/Toshiba KIRAbook Front Right 45_thumb.jpg" width="85" height="85" border="0"/></a><a href="/Gallery/Album/2740#4" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2740/Toshiba KIRAbook Front Straight with hand_thumb.jpg" width="85" height="85" border="0"/></a><a href="/Gallery/Album/2740#5" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2740/Toshiba KIRAbook Front Straight_thumb.jpg" width="85" height="85" border="0"/></a><a href="/Gallery/Album/2740#6" target="_blank"><img src="http://images.anandtech.com/galleries/2740/Toshiba KIRAbook Low Open Left 45 Mirrored_thumb.jpg" width="85" height="85" border="0"/></a></div></div></p> <p> Unfortunately it all comes at a price. The starting model is $1,599 and comes with an Intel Core i5 ULV processor; upgrading to the $1,799 model gets you 10-point multitouch on the display, and the $1,999 model adds an upgrade to a Core i7.</p> <p> <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6905/toshibas-new-kirabook-brings-qhd-to-the-windows-pc"><img alt="" src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/6905/Toshiba%20KIRAbook%20Low%20Open%20Left%2045%20Mirrored_575px.jpg" /></a></p> <p> You do get 8GB of DDR3-1600, the QHD IPS display, a 50Wh battery, and a 256GB SSD standard in all models, along with useful Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 and Premiere Elements 11 pack-in software and a standard two-year warranty with 24/7 phone support and basically a dedicated department specifically for handling and servicing KIRA models (it's safe to assume more are en route.) Examining the model, I also found that the bottom panel uses standard Phillips head screws, so theoretically you can swap out the SSD and wireless card, though the RAM is probably soldered to the motherboard.</p> <p> Either way, we're looking to have a KIRAbook in house for review in time for launch, so stay tuned. Pre-orders start May 3, and the KIRAbook becomes available for purchase on May 12.</p> </p></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6893/samsung-galaxy-note-80-review">Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 Review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 08:29 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <p> For the past couple of years Samsung, and many other Google partners, have been on the hunt to improve productivity on Android - particularly on tablets. We’ve seen hardware solutions (ASUS’ Transformer line) as well as software solutions (Samsung’s multi-window support) emerge. No one has really perfected the productivity story for Android tablets. I’m not entirely sure that long term even Google sees Android as the productivity platform of choice (perhaps Chrome OS will assume that role?), but there’s no shortage of attempts to solve this problem.</p> <p> While ASUS was at the forefront of addressing the productivity issue for a while with its Transformer tablets, Samsung has since picked up the torch with its Galaxy Note family of devices. What started as a giant smartphone has now evolved to encompass an entire lineup of tablets as well. The productivity aspect of the Note line is really tied to the integrated active digitizer and stylus (S Pen) that comes with the devices. There are software and other features that complete the picture (e.g. IR blaster), but it all stems from the S Pen. Last year Samsung introduced the Galaxy Note 10.1, its first 10-inch tablet with an integrated S Pen. This year, Samsung expanded the line with an 8-inch model, the aptly named Galaxy Note 8.0.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6722/plextor-m5m-256gb-msata-review">Plextor M5M (256GB) mSATA Review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 07:20 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <p> Plextor has been increasing their presence in the SSD market month by month. It's not a coincidence, we have been very pleased with all Plextor's drives that we have reviewed so far. At CES, Plextor showcased a variety of SSDs ranging from M.2 to TLC NAND based SSDs. While those two will not be available until later this year, Plextor sent us their M5M mSATA SSD.</p> <p> We have lately seen increasing traction in the mSATA SSD market. For long, there were only a few retail mSATA SSDs available but now we have competitive drives from manufacturers such as Intel and Crucial/Micron. Plextor's M5M is an interesting addition to the mix: It's not based on SadForce's SF-2281 controller like most of the mSATA SSD are, it uses the same Marvell 88SS9187 controller found in the 2.5" M5 Pro. That's currently Marvell's high-end SATA 6Gbps controller and it definitely has the potential to challenge the rest today's high-end SATA solutions. Read on to find out how Plextor's first mSATA SSD performs!</p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6722/plextor-m5m-256gb-msata-review"><img alt=""

Sprouting from rough-road estate to mid-sized SUV with the previous model's 110mm leap in height, the Forester now consolidates that stance with a gentler, horizontal swelling upon a platform shared with the XV crossover.Less upright than before thanks to swooping new lines, the Mk4 is still recognisably a Forester, albeit one with generous nods to the comparatively sporty XV including black mesh grille and rear spoiler. External gains in length (35mm), wheelbase (25mm) and width (15mm) are well employed inside, making the cabin even more spacious, with ample legroom and headroom all-round.Door openings are larger and new sill seals keep your gamekeeper's tweeds mud-free. The boot opening is bigger and squarer, and its lip sits flush with the floor. Capacity rises 55 litres to 505 litres, but stowed back seats (folded via switches just inside the tailgate on most models) yield a few litres less than before at 1592, countered by increased under-floor storage.There's a choice of 2.0-litre boxer fours: an improved 148bhp petrol, all-new 237bhp turbocharged petrol (a trademark formula missing from the Mk3), and our car's largely unaltered 145bhp turbodiesel that's expected to win half of sales. The diesel employs a six-speed manual gearbox of long-yet-accurate throw, shared with the atmospheric petrol. An economy-enhancing 'Lineartronic' CVT is optional on the latter but compulsory on the turbo petrol.</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="3" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show/shanghai-motor-show-preview">Shanghai motor show preview</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 17 Apr 2013 01:00 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show/shanghai-motor-show-preview" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/S3saloon1.jpg" alt="Shanghai motor show preview" title="Shanghai motor show preview" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The Shanghai auto show 2013 will feature several important reveals, so read our guide to find out about all the latest planned unveils <p>The importance of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show" target="_blank">Shanghai motor show</a> - which rotates with the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/beijing-motor-show-2012" target="_blank">Beijing</a> equivalent each year - shows no sign of dimming.

The pictures come just a few weeks after the debut of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/geneva-motor-show-toyota-ft-86-open-concept" target="_blank">FT86 Open </a>concept, previewing a GT86 cabriolet, at the Geneva motor show.</p><p>Whilst depicting a GT86-based car, the patent has been filed under Fuji Heavy Industries, the parent company of <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/subaru" target="_blank">Subaru</a>. This would imply a <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/subaru/brz/first-drives/subaru-brz" target="_blank">BRZ</a> cabriolet is also being planned.</p><p>The images show the GT86 with its canvas roof raised, where it appears little different to the coupé in its styling. The angle at which the boot lid meets the roof is very similar to the coupé, and the cabrio retains the GT86's low-slung appearance. Moreover, by opting for a canvas roof, the GT86 cabriolet should have a smaller weight increase and retain more boot volume than if a folding metal hard top was used.</p><p>The powertrain of the GT86 cabriolet is expected to be identical to the coupé's. This means it will be powered by a 2.0-litre boxer engine with 197bhp and 151lb ft of torque. In the coupé, this is enough for a 0-60mph sprint time of 7.4sec and a 140mph top speed. However, the transition from coupé to cabriolet is predicted to add just under 100kg to the GT86's 1235kg kerb weight, so expect these figures to take a small hit for the open car.</p><p>A launch date for the GT86 cabriolet has not been suggested but, given it has already been <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/toyota-gt86-convertible-first-picture" target="_blank">spied testing undisguised</a>, its production debut shouldn't be too far away.</p><p><strong>Matt Bird</strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="5" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/jaguar-f-type-v6-s-first-drive-review">Jaguar F-type V6 S first drive review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/jaguar-f-type-v6-s-first-drive-review" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/jaguar-f-type-v6s-1dsd.jpg" alt="Jaguar F-type V6 S first drive review" title="Jaguar F-type V6 S first drive review" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The mid-spec Jaguar F-type offers multi-dimensional talent to underpin its sizeable price tag This is the new Jaguar F-type sports car, here in its mid-range V6 S flavour. It's the launch of the year, this, the sportiest Jaguar since the XJ220. And the F really is a sports car, they've told me, at some length. It ain't like any other Jaguar, they say. You'll notice "within 50 metres, not 50 kilometres," says Ian Hoban, the F-type's line manager.What makes it so different to a 'normal' Jaguar, then? The F-type, like the XK, is built from aluminium alloys and both are front-engined, rear-driven roadsters with two seats (excusing the XK's token rears). But the F-type's shell is 30 per cent stiffer, torsionally, than an XK's. It's shorter by a foot, wider by a thumb-width and lower by 120mm as its driver sits. Among its rivals Jaguar counts not the Mercedes-Benz SL, but the Porsche 911 cabriolet, Audi R8 Spyder and Aston Martin V8 Vantage roadster. Only, Jaguar says, the F is about 25 per cent cheaper than those. It has a graph to prove it. A graph on which Porsche's Boxster, mind you, is notable by its absence at a lower price still, but that's a question for another time. It looks like Jaguar has indeed identified a little gap between the Boxster and 911 where you wouldn't have believed one existed. No F-type variant epitomises that identity more than our test car: a mid-table, 3.0-litre supercharged F-type V6 S, which brings with it 375bhp and 339lb ft. Like all F-types, the V6 S's motor is longitudinally mounted under the front and mated to an eight-speed ZF automatic transmission. Not a dual-clutch unit, mind, but a traditional auto, albeit one with a torque converter that locks up so early that it spends all its time above crawl speeds directly linked to the rear wheels, slush free. What is unlike other F-types is that the V6 S gets a conventional mechanical limited slip differential. The base V6 does without a locking diff, while the Jaguar F-type V8 S has an electronic locking one. The 15kg weight penalty the V8's 'e-diff' brings would spoil what Jaguar claims is the V6 S's 50 per cent front, 50 per cent rear weight distribution. It also claims 0-60mph in 4.8sec and a top speed of 171mph for this version, which sounds plenty quick enough to me. The price is £67,500, which sounds plenty too.All in all, though, it's a reassuringly heady, old-school, burly mechanical set-up whose promise is further enhanced by double wishbones all round and hydraulic, rather than electric, assistance for the power steering, and to hell with the economy and emissions (which, for the record, are claimed at 31.0mpg combined and 213g/km for the V6 S). The last time Jaguar launched a car like this, though, its steering was of course unassisted. Think E-type, or perhaps Austin Healey, Triumph TR6 – maybe even TVR. That's the kind of vibe that the F-type emanates.Except, of course, that it combines all that with a touch of 21st century luxury. This is a well appointed and well trimmed car, with an interesting cabin and some pleasing materials and neat touches. I could live without the rising centre air vents (they only pop out when there's more serious cooling or heating to be done) if it meant I could have a higher quality feel to the gearshift paddles on the steering wheel, but generally, you have to admit, it's a pretty well finished cockpit. It's not that sensible, though; Jaguar even calls the F-type a 1+1 because of the way the cockpit's feel is divided into two, with the driver getting the more 'technical' surfaces. The truth is that if you wanted to carry anything more than a couple of squashy bags, you'd end up using the passenger space, too. This isn't a terribly practical car. It might be cheaper than a 911, but the Porsche has +2 rear seats, and their benefit isn't negligible.</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-jaguar-xjr-x350-2003-2007">Used car buying guide: Jaguar XJR (X350) (2003-2007)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 03:50 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-jaguar-xjr-x350-2003-2007" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/jaguar-xjr-2003-2007-used-buying-guide-1.jpg" alt="" title="Suspension is a weak link.

The XJR is no different, but a great super-saloon nonetheless. <p>Driving one of the last generation <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/jaguar">Jaguar</a> XJRs is like going to a party and discovering the fat bloke who was sat in the corner only a minute ago is now dancing everyone else off the floor. It doesn't seem possible that something so apparently portly, and unathletic can move the way it does. But appearances do not deceive…</p><p>Three things combine to give the XJR (X350) its unlikely speed and agility. First and perhaps most obviously, a 4.2-litre supercharged V8 giving 389bhp and, even more significantly, 400lb ft of torque made sure it would not be lacking in power. Next a revolutionary all aluminium body and monocoque dropped weight from the old (X308) XJR's reasonable 1837kg, to a snake-hipped 1665kg.</p><p>Then all that was needed was a sprinkle of Jaguar's customary chassis engineering excellence. The result: a staid, upright saloon that looks like it can't get out of its own way, that will hit 60mph in well under 6sec and handle better than many allegedly sporting car.</p><p>But it was not the success Jaguar hoped for. Customers didn't just want to go fast and have fun, they wanted to look the part too, and however replete with talent the XJR may have been at these first two disciplines, it was unable to fulfil the third and perhaps most important part of the contract.</p><p>Prices started to fall and have kept going ever since, to the point where the technical revolutionary can be yours for a lot less than a new <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/hyundai/i10">Hyundai i10</a>. But does that make it a good buy?</p><p>Clive Kirton of Peterborough-based Nene Jaguars has a refreshingly robust view of them. As someone who spends his life finding, fixing and moving these cars on, you might expect him to champion their cause. In fact he is entirely realistic: 'I don't feel that they're terribly unreliable but I'd not be being honest with you if I said they didn't have any issues…'</p><p>The good news is that the XJR (and its extremely scarce long-wheelbase Daimler Super V8 alter-ego) is no more tricky to look after or likely to go wrong than a standard XJ8. While the supercharged motor does put extra stresses through the system, it has all been designed to cope, so if you can afford the purchase price and, of course, the fuel, there's no reason to steer clear of the XJR on these grounds.</p><p>Deciding how much to pay is a tricky subject. Though you can find cheaper examples, Kirton is adamant that spending less than £7000 retail is a false economy. 'Cars below that level always need work, usually running into some thousands of pounds.' And regardless of where you jump onto the ladder, but particularly on the lower rungs, always have a couple of grand up your sleeve. 'So many people have a budget and spend it all on buying the car. But I see very few that don't need at least some work and if you've spent it all buying the car, this can blow your budget to bits.'</p><p>Is this code for avoid at all costs? Absolutely not: Kirton says a properly maintained XJR is not only a fast and friendly device, but also perfectly sensible proposition. The secret, as ever, is finding a car that is right and then setting aside enough money each year to keep it that way.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Kirton says a full service history is merely the first thing to ensure, not the be all and end all. Don't even consider a car without one.</p><p>The bearings of the rear lower wishbones break up and the only fix is the replace the entire assembly at the cost of about £500 per corner.</p><p>Parking sensors are known to fail and can be surprisingly pricey to replace – budget around £300.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Jaguar XJR for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/jaguar/xjr" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="7" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-lexus-f-2008">Used car buying guide: Lexus IS-F (2008-)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 03:50 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-lexus-f-2008" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/lexus-isf-2008--used-buying-guide-3.jpg" alt="" title="Expect 20k miles from front pads, and a £320 bill to renew them" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Quick, luxurious and reliable, the barnstorming Lexus IS-F saloon is great value second-hand, if you can stomach the running costs. <p>A three-and-a-half-star performance in Autocar's 2008 road test was commendable for a new entrant to the super-saloon market, and the verdict was delivered with constructive feedback suggesting the addition of a limited-slip differential and tackling of the slightly skittish ride would be good improvements to the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/lexus/is-f">Lexus IS-F</a>.</p><p>As we'll see, both were to be addressed later, but what of that original IS-F as a used bet? Were it not for the comprehensive all-round talents of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/m3">BMW M3</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/c63-amg">Mercedes C63 AMG</a>, the Lexus would have capitalised more on its brilliant V8 engine and sweet chassis setup. Nonetheless, we ranked it above the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/vxr8">Vauxhall VXR8</a> and Audi S6 – both praiseworthy scalps for a newbie.</p><p>At launch, the IS-F matched the C63 on price (the M3 was £1700 cheaper), and embarrassed Hamleys with standard toys including sat nav with Bluetooth, adaptive cruise, high-end stereo with six-disc changer, heated front seats, reversing camera and more. Tick the £800 sunroof box and the spec sheet was out of ideas.</p><p>Martin Ghost of Lexus Woodford in Essex acknowledges that depreciation is usually heavy for this breed of car, but says the IS-F is a particular bargain: "Pick an earlier example and you'll benefit from generous performance and equipment that's excellent value versus others in the sector".</p><p>Indeed, according to Ghost, a higher-mileage car that providing servicing schedules have been adhered to, should be a model of reliability: "I recently spotted a 70,000-mile IS-F, and would have happily snapped it up at the right price".</p><p>Choose a four-door M3 or C63 of similar vintage to a IS-F, and you'll spend about three and seven grand more respectively. Interestingly, you'll only find about as many E90 M3 saloons on the market as IS-Fs, which is testament to the Lexus's competitiveness as a performance four-door.</p><p>That diff we longed for was added in March 2010, claiming to shave 2sec off the car's lap time at Fuji (the circuit that put the 'F' in 'IS-F'), mostly by way of improved exit traction.</p><p>The accompanying price hike to £56k was also partially justified by an improved multimedia system with better sat nav, 10Gb music storage, digital radio, USB input and streaming Bluetooth, while white leather and split-spoke alloys became no-cost options. Although alternatives from Munich and Affalterbach were a massive five grand cheaper, a 2010 IS-F is already far less expensive today, not to mention winning economy that reaches 30mpg when cruising.</p><p>During our test of the LSD-shod car, we lamented that Lexus had failed to concurrently improve the IS-F's suspension. Six months later and we'd used up two of our wishes as the springs and shocks were revised, while the rear suspension geometry was tweaked, all to improve stability under load. Strips of LED running lights mark these cars out, along with interior tweaks.</p><p>There's little to worry about maintenance-wise, and warranty claims are a rarity. While servicing, consumables and road tax are pricey, at least they're known quantities, allowing you to plan accordingly.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Uneven tyre wear isn't uncommon – Lexus Woodford charges £150 to realign the wheels, or £100 during a major service.</p><p>A space-saver is standard but costs around £180 to replace if missing.</p><p>Lexus history is recommended, but if official parts are used, a VAT-registered independent won't spoil the warranty. 10k-mile service intervals essential, though.</p><p>Keen drivers can easily spot a car with LSD – the steering wheel base sports blue leather.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Lexus IS-F for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds?Category=used-cars&Keyword=F&KeywordCleanedValue=F&M=407" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="8" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-range-rover-sport-2005-2013">Used car buying guide: Range Rover Sport (2005-2013)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 03:50 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-range-rover-sport-2005-2013" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/landrover-rangeroversport-2005--used-buying-guide-1.jpg" alt="" title="Every engine strong but Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve can fail" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The Range Rover that took the fight to the BMW X5 and Porsche Cayenne needn't be as troublesome as you might expect <p>The <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/range-rover-sport">Range Rover Sport</a> is an odd beast. Most people not in the know would assume that it's a based on a Mk3 Range Rover, lowered and re-styled. Actually the Sport uses the Discovery 3 platform, which means a combined monocoque and ladder chassis for a mix of strength from the traditional frame and solidity from the monocoque.</p><p>The R-R Sport's wheelbase is 14cm shorter than the Disco's but it uses much the same running gear including the air-suspension that drops or raises the ride height by 10cm. Although it's unlikely that many Sports will be used off-road, Land Rover fitted the car with all its technology including a low-ratio transfer gearbox, hill descent control and the extremely canny Terrain Response control which gives a choice of five different settings for which the brain works out the best differential, ride height and engine configurations. It's very clever and very effective.</p><p>And quite complicated. And here we get to the nub of any discussion about used Land Rover products (and new ones, for that matter): will the thing be reliable? Land Rover has performed shockingly in customer satisfaction surveys appearing embarrassingly low down the JD Power index on many occasions. It's something Land-Rover is working full tilt to sort out.</p><p>The good news, according to independent Land Rover specialists James French, is that the Discovery 3 and R-R Sport marked a turning point for quality. 'Thanks to the unreliability of the old P38 Range Rovers and the Discovery 2 we've got a fantastic team of engineers and technicians working for us,' says James French, 'who had plenty of experience sorting out those cars. Our business was founded on those models needing plenty of attention.'</p><p>French isn't keen on 'blinged up' Sports not least because the catchment area for his Oxford business tends to be more 'pheasant shooting than drive-by shooting,' as French succinctly puts it. One clue for damage is from looking at the bolts that hold the bonnet and doors on. If the paint on them is cracked and broken it means that the panels have been off and there's usually only one reason for that.'</p><p>Diesel engines are also strong but will always need new EGR valves when they've gone past 40,000 miles. Surprisingly there are no horror stories about ECUs going phut. It can happen of course, but not with the worrying predictability of earlier Range Rover models.</p><p>The suspension is tough but bushes will wear out. 'Main dealers often steer clear of the job because it's heavy work,' explains French. 'A bit blacksmith engineering but we have a big lad who owns a heavy lump hammer who does the job for us.'</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Avoid heavily modified cars. The trade doesn't like them and parts such as 22in alloys cause problems.</p><p>Wheel alignment is almost always out.

Now it's on offer for less than £100,000. <p>Tick a few options boxes on a flagship <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/land-rover/range-rover">Range Rover</a> and you're tempting a £100,000 invoice. Point your readies at the used market, though, and you can attain similar elevation, a whole new level of luxe, and even more presence, for the same money buys a first-generation <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/rolls-royce/phantom">Rolls-Royce Phantom</a> – a 6.1m extended wheelbase one at that.</p><p>Unlike Maybachs, Phantoms have only dipped below the £100k mark relatively recently, says Tom Hartley Jnr of independent specialist Tom Hartley in Derbyshire. "From late 2008 to early 2011, depreciation was limited due to shortages caused by overseas demand," he comments, "but greater supply and less appetite for conspicuous consumption mean Phantoms are now better value than ever."</p><p>Against preconceptions, most buyers of the standard 5834mm car drive themselves – Hartley estimates only 1 in 15 are chauffeur-driven – and the average age of buyers is dropping: "We've sold lots to customers under 35, largely thanks to pop culture exposure – alternatives like the Bentley Arnage lack that appeal."</p><p>Most buyers of the EWB (from 2005) are passengers, but Hartley reckons the extra 250mm of legroom is redundant if the shorter car is equipped with individual rear seats. Rear access is better in the EWB via rear suicide doors that open to 90deg rather than 80deg, but the larger footprint and extra 75kg increase body roll. Nearly £50,000 separated the two versions when new, but used prices have converged since, so there's value in the stretched car if you insist on it.</p><p>Rolls-Royce's Bespoke programme offers you-name-it customisation, but initials embroidered onto leather or etched into wood obviously limit a car's secondhand appeal. Both can be switched for fresh trim, but re-spraying the exterior to hide a party-frock paint job is suicide for residuals. For such a finish-sensitive car (Hartley says black and darker silvers and blues are the only safe bets), bright colours significantly soften the price, including special editions, while more sober issues like 2006's Phantom Black (black inside and out with wine cooler and rear DVD screens) add value.</p><p>Sought after options include 21in alloys (which became standard with 2009's light bumper-smoothing, grille-shortening facelift), sunroof, rear DVD screens and mesmerising starlight headlining that was prohibitively pricey when new. A rear bench was standard-fit and is Hartley's recommended configuration, while the cost option of two individual rear seats actually sheds........</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>A high-pitched whistling from the manifold signals engine breather valve problems.</p><p>Test the retracting Spirit of Ecstasy.

There'll be no shortage of excitement, but not all of good.</p><p>Ferrari sorted Maserati out though, when Maranello took full control in 1999 and brought their production excellence to bear, first on cars like the GT Coupe and then the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/maserati/quattroporte">Maserati Quattroporte</a>. The fifth generation of which Maserati started making in 2004.</p><p>Although the Quattroporte needs regular attention – service intervals are every 6000 miles - very little bad news surrounds the cars in the trade. According to a JD Power audit carried out in 2009, Maserati is now achieving less than one reported fault per car produced, which is astonishing for cars of this complexity, especially given the company's former inconsistency.</p><p>Maserati marketed the Quattroporte as a sweetheart in town and stallion in the country, but a choppy ride and the electrically shifted DuoSelect semi-automatic gearbox lack absolute urban refinement, making the car hard work in fully automatic mode, regardless of trim level: base, Sport GT or Executive GT.</p><p>Flick to manual shift on faster country roads, and the Quattroporte's dry-sump Ferrari DNA is revealed. There few cars of any class that sound more inspiring than an a hard pressed Quattroporte, and certainly no four-door saloon. However the thrills aren't limited to aural delights. With the rear mounted transmission giving the chassis a 47:53 front-to-rear weight bias, the Quattroporte is one of the best handling saloons at any price.</p><p>But with no diesel option, you can forget Bavarian luxobarge comparisons. This is motoring con brio.</p><p>In 2007, Maserati relented to reviewers criticisms of the Duoselect gearbox and slid a ZF automatic onto the back of the V8, necessitating a redesign of the floorpan, and forcing the engineers to fit wet sump lubrication. "It made the drivetrain slightly more forgiving of the average driver", says Simon Harvey of specialist Greypauls, himself the owner of a much-enjoyed Ferrari 348, "but for outright driving pleasure, the DuoSelect is hard to beat, once you tune your inputs to its dynamic qualities."</p><p>Two years later came the Sport GTS version, which lifted power to 433bhp, the rev limit to 7200rpm and lowered the suspension. It also ditched the adjustable Skyhook dampers in favour of more sporting passive ones. Although the most expensive Quattroporte, and the least cosseting, the GTS is the most rewarding to drive. And that's in no small part down to the sports exhaust, which with it's active flaps open sounds truly wonderful. </p><p>So if you can add another zero to that three grand budget, you'll be getting a car with all the excitement of the Biturbo hooligan but with far fewer headaches. And that's a combination few could resist. Not just for taking the mother-in-law out, or glitzing up the school run, but for the joy of saying "what do I drive? Oh, I've got an old Maserati: the proper one with the Ferrari engine."</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Quattroportes need servicing every 6,000 miles so a full history is vital. Every 10k means one missed in every 20k miles. Ferrari engines don't like that.</p><p>The operation of the DuoSelect 'box can mean earlier clutch replacement: 40k miles is a suggested interval but depends on use. Check it!</p><p>The discs and calipers on a Quattroporte are slightly smaller than those fitted to lighter competition to they get worked hard. Check brake condition and only fit genuine replacements.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Maserati Quattroporte for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/maserati/quattroporte" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="11" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/vauxhall-opel-radically-updates-powertrain-technology">Vauxhall-Opel radically updates powertrain technology</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 02:51 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/vauxhall-opel-radically-updates-powertrain-technology" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/Vauxhall 1.6CDTi (2).jpg" alt="Vauxhall-Opel radically updates powertrain technology" title="Vauxhall-Opel radically updates powertrain technology" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> All-new petrol and diesel engines and new transmissions aim for class leadership <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/vauxhall">Vauxhall</a> is to launch three all-new engine families between now and 2016 which will see a total of 13 individual powerplants being launched and a full 80 percent of the company's engine portfolio replaced. Sources at the maker admitted that the company's current engine range was far from class-leading, especially in diesel engines, which is a vital market in Europe.</p><p>General Motor's European arm has also completely re-designed the company's five- and six-speed manual gearboxes for much slicker operation and is to introduce a new eight-speed torque converter automatic 'box. An automated manual 'box is also on the way for the Adam city car and a conventional double-clutch transmission is also 'under development' by the company.</p><p>Two of the new engines will be launched this year, a 1.6-litre, four cylinder, turbocharged petrol and 1.6-litre turbocharged diesel. Despite the headline similarities, the two engines share only minor components. Later in the year a new 'small displacement' engine family will arrive, which is expected to be three-cylinder versions of these new petrol and diesel units.</p><p>The new, aluminium, 1.6 SIDI turbo-petrol engine has direct injection, a single-scroll turbo, twin balancer shafts and comes in two flavours. The' Eco' version develops 168bhp at 4250rpm and, in boost mode, 206lb ft of torque from a diesel-like 1650rpm. The 'performance' version of the engine, which gets a slightly lower compression ratio and different pistons, develops 197bhp from 4700rpm (a specific output of 125bhp per litre) and 221lb ft of torque from just 1700rpm.</p><p>The eco version of the new 1.6-litre petrol engine is already available in the new 1700kg <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/cascada/first-drives/vauxhall-cascada-16-sidi-turbo-elite-first-drive-review">Vauxhall Cascada</a> convertible, where it delivers 45mpg and 148g/km of CO2. However, the engine's economy is expected to be noticeably better - possibly around 139g/km - in the much lighter Astra. In any case, Vauxhall is claiming 10 percent lower CO2 and an increase in torque of around 30 percent over the current 1.6-litre turbo engine.</p><p>Vauxhall-Opel engineers freely admit that the company is well behind the class-best when it comes to diesel technology, having previously used engines developed with Isuzu and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/fiat">Fiat</a>. However, GM Europe retained its Turin-based powertrain development centre when its partnership with Fiat ended in 2005 which was the centre for the diesel engine development. All told, 1000 GM engineers were globally involved in the diesel engine project, which aims to be 'class-leading' for power density and a 'benchmark' for refinement.</p><p>This new 1.6 CDTi unit has a single, variable geometry, water-cooled, turbo, an aluminium block and the option of twin balancer shafts. The injection system has a maximum pressure of 2000 bar and uses eight hole injectors. There are as many as a 10 individual fuel injections per cylinder cycle. The company is also claiming very low internal friction levels. Engineers say the engine will meet the super-stringent European EU6 emission regulations with the addition of Urea-injection or a Lean Nox Trap system, depending on the size of the vehicle.</p><p>The first version of this unit - which makes its debut in the Zafira Tourer - develops 134bhp between 3500-4000rpm and 236lb ft at 2000rpm. Officially, this new engine will drive the 1600kg <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/vauxhall/zafira-tourer">Zafira Tourer</a> from 0-62mph in 11.2sec but will also return 69mpg, or 104g/km of CO2.</p><p>Although these new engines and transmissions will be flowed into the wider Vauxhall range over the next year or so, the whole suite of petrol and diesel engines, the new manual and auto 'boxes should all be optional on the facelifted Insignia, which is expected this autumn.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="12" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/jaguar-f-type-video-review">Jaguar F-type video review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 11 Apr 2013 10:13 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-video/jaguar-f-type-video-review" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/autocar play button_6.jpg" alt="" title="" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> We put the highly anticipated Jaguar F-Type sports car through its paces <p>The new <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/jaguar/f-type">Jaguar F-Type</a> is finally upon us, after what feels like decades of speculation.

However, now that we've driven the F-type in all of its various guises and realised that it is more than just a little bit good, that asking price now makes if not perfect then reasonably decent sense.What Jaguar has produced, even in this basic model, is a not a car that sits beside the Porsche Boxster as an obvious rival. It sits above the mighty Porsche (but beneath the 911 in this instance), which is why its pricing strategy now just about adds up.What you get with the basic V6 model is not exactly a basic car. The supercharged V6 engine produces a rousing 336bhp at 6500rpm and 332lb ft between 3500-5000rpm, and the gearbox is the same eight-speed Quickshift from ZF that you get in both the more expensive F-types. All up, the largely aluminium F-type V6 weighs just 1597kg.You lose the diffs from the more expensive versions (mechanical in the F-type V6 S, electronically controlled in the V8 S), and the wheels and tyres shrink to mere 18s, but the V6 doesn't feel like it is missing much on the road.</div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="14" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/jaguar-f-type-v8-s-first-drive-review">Jaguar F-type V8 S first drive review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 11 Apr 2013 08:01 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/jaguar-f-type-v8-s-first-drive-review" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/jaguar-f-type-v8s-23dff.jpg" alt="Jaguar F-type V8 S first drive review" title="Jaguar F-type V8 S first drive review" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Sledgehammer performance makes the Jaguar F-type V8 S more like an old-school hotrod The fastest, most powerful, most expensive model within the new Jaguar F-type range, and although it costs a whopping £79,950 and looks all but identical to the lesser versions, it's a proper old-school hotrod and no mistake.Like all the other F-types, the V8 S sits on a rear-wheel-drive aluminium chassis that features all-round double wishbone suspension, plus the same basic cabin architecture from which to survey the world. It has the same electric hood as the lesser models (12sec up or down), the same driving position, the same decently sized boot (200 litres) and even the same multi-function steering wheel (available with either a flat bottom in Alcantara or rounded and in leather, which is nice).But in most respects, that's where the similarities between the V8 S F-type and the V6s end. For although there's the same eight-speed Quickshift gearbox through which to deploy the V8's thunderous extra power and torque (489bhp and 364lb ft), it feels like a completely different animal on the road.Partly this is because that's the way Jaguar wants it to feel, hence the reason there's an electronic diff (rather than a mechanical limited slip diff as in the Jaguar F-type V6 S) in order to manage the V8's extra flow of power.But at the same time there are also bigger brakes, 20in wheels, quad exhausts and a yet more sophisticated Dynamic Drive system that allows you to fine-tune the steering weight, throttle response, gearchange speeds and even the exhaust noise.

Their latest bundle, replacing their recently expired $150 <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6736/nvidias-new-f2p-bundle-the-first-hit-is-free">February free-to-play bundle</a>, will see 4A Games’ upcoming post-apocalyptic first person shooter <a href="http://enterthemetro.com/">Metro: Last Light</a> bundled with the GeForce GTX 660 and above. Last Light is the sequel to 4A Games’ 2010 FPS, Metro: 2033, which was also co-marketed with NVIDIA under their The Way It’s Meant to be Played program.</p> <p> The Last Light bundle is launching today with the participation of the usual e-tailers and retailers, with participating vendors including coupons with qualifying purchases. Last Light will be released next month – May 14<sup>th</sup> for North America and May 17<sup>th</sup> for Europe – so GeForce video card buyers will have to sit tight for about a month before they can get the game. Note that as this offer is only for the GTX 660 and above, it will not be replacing NVIDIA’s $75 free-to-play bundle for the GTX 650 series cards, which remains in effect and runs until the end of the month.</p> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="401"> <tbody> <tr class="tgrey"> <td align="center" colspan="5"> Current NVIDIA Game Bundles</td> </tr> <tr class="tlblue"> <td align="center" valign="middle" width="270"> Video Card</td> <td align="center" valign="middle" width="128"> Bundle</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle">GeForce GTX Titan</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Metro: Last Light</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> GeForce GTX 690</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Metro: Last Light</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> GeForce GTX 680</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Metro: Last Light</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> GeForce GTX 670</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Metro: Last Light</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> GeForce GTX 660 Series</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Metro: Last Light</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> GeForce GTX 650 Series</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> $75 Free-To-Play</td> </tr> <tr> <td align="center" valign="middle"> GeForce GT 640 (& Below)</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> None</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </p></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6900/corsair-obsidian-900d-case-review-think-big-thats-only-half-as-large">Corsair Obsidian 900D Case Review: Think Big, That's Only HALF as Large</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 08:00 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <p> An enclosure built from the ground up for custom liquid cooling loops is actually a fairly rarefied thing.

This prototype was spotted with minimal disguise at the Nürburgring.</p><p>The Golf R is expected to be last of the so-far confirmed new Golf models to appear in the showroom. An on-sale date of early 2014 has been mooted after a launch at the Frankfurt motor show in September.</p><p>The Golf R will crown the new Golf range, following closely behind the new<a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/new-york-motor-show-volkswagen-golf-gti" target="_self"> VW Golf GTI</a>. Closely related to the new <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/s3" target="_self">Audi S3</a>, the Golf R's 2.0 TSI engine produces 286bhp and 280lb ft, according to well-placed insiders.</p><p>When equipped with the six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox, the Golf R will be able to crack 0-62mph in just 5.0sec and reach a limited top speed of 155mph.</p><p>VW has also extensively tuned the sound of the Golf R's exhaust note to be louder and sportier than before.</p><p>The Golf R will again be all-wheel drive, using the new Haldex 5 system featured on the new<a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/volkswagen/golf/first-drives/volkswagen-golf-4motion-20-tdi-first-drive-review" target="_self"> VW Golf 4Motion</a>.

So what does this mean for electric vehicles? Are they really that clean after all? <p>Conventional wisdom is that if you want to generate enough power for a city, you need a big power station. Cities do not generally rely on banks of internal combustion engines to keep the lights on. The reason? You can throw a lot of technology at a single power source to maximise the economies of scale in a way that is not viable for lots of small engines.</p><p>So it may come as a surprise that a modern diesel engine is more efficient than a traditional coal-fired power station. The British government's figures say 38 per cent of the energy put into a coal-fired power station comes out as useful work, whereas a good modern diesel engine is about 40 per cent efficient (at least when running steadily at its optimum speed). The latest Mercedes-Benz 2.2-litre diesel hits 42 per cent. Even the website of the Energy Saving Trust advocates the domestic use of Stirling engines and diesels to generate energy rather than relying on conventional utilities.</p><p>That throws new light on the whole electric vehicle debate. Burning coal (as some British power stations still do), turning it into electricity, sending it through the grid and then recharging a battery seems a rather complex solution when burning diesel fuel directly in the car will give almost the same efficiency.</p><p>This explains why the CO2 figure for an EV like the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/nissan/leaf" target="_blank">Nissan Leaf</a> or <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/renault/fluence" target="_blank">Renault Fluence</a> is 75-80g/km, given the overall energy mix of the UK, even though they produce zero tailpipe emissions. That is not so different from a Ford Focus 1.6 TDCi Econetic, which emits 88g/km from the tailpipe or about 100g/km when the CO2 from refining and transporting its fuel is included.</p><p>So how can a relatively cheap diesel engine run as efficiently as a multi-million-pound power station? The answer, according to Roelant de Waard, Ford of Europe's marketing sales and service boss, is electronic controls. He says: "The microchip has made it possible to control a car engine as precisely as the most complex power source."</p><p>Certainly, the figures support him. In 1980 the typical petrol engine was 23 per cent efficient and a diesel 28 per cent efficient. Now, those figures have improved by approximately half.</p><p>At this point the French could well be feeling smug, because most of their electricity comes from nuclear power. This source of power is not automatically more efficient than others, but it is very low in carbon emissions. A Fluence in France is reckoned to produce 12g/km of CO2, which is a worthwhile saving.</p><p>Thus, the current concentration on the range and cost of electric cars may be looking at the problem from the wrong end. The fundamental problem is about electricity generation, not about batteries. Until UK power comes from low-carbon sources, there is little overall gain in producing CO2 in a power station rather than from the exhaust pipe of a car.</p><p>To compound the problem, the UK may not have enough electricity of any sort. With a lot of old power stations due to be decommissioned in the next few years, energy regulator OFGEM recently warned that the UK could run out of electricity capacity in the winter of 2015-2016.</p><p>This may not be the best time to try to add more load to the electricity grid. The irony is that reducing CO2 emissions from cars and developing EVs are far more difficult problems than building new power stations. The first two problems are the responsibility of car companies and are being addressed, but the third issue is in the hands of the government ― and the recent announcement of planning permission for one new nuclear power station to open in 2023 is hardly the solution.</p><p><strong>Jay Nagley</strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show/bmw-and-brilliance-alliance-create-zinoro-ev-models-china">BMW and Brilliance alliance to create Zinoro EV models in China</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 16 Apr 2013 02:07 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show/bmw-and-brilliance-alliance-create-zinoro-ev-models-china" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/bmw-x1-1_0_0.jpg" alt="BMW-Brilliance alliance to create 'Zinoro' EV models in China" title="BMW-Brilliance alliance to create 'Zinoro' EV models in China" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> New brand will debut an EV crossover later this year, with Chinese sales to begin in 2014 <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/bmw" target="_blank">BMW</a> will launch a new 'Zinoro' brand later this year as part of its partnership with Chinese firm Brilliance. The Zinoro cars will all be EVs and initially only available in China, owing to the advanced EV infrastructure in place there.</p><p>The first Zinoro product will make its debut at the Guangzhou motor show this November and is rumoured to be a crossover based on the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/x1" target="_blank">BMW X1</a>. It will go on sale early in 2014.</p><p>The overall aims for the first Zinoro project are to deliver comfort and practicality, distancing them from more dynamic BMW offerings.</p><p>Moreover, all Zinoro cars will be sold through unique distribution channels, with no links to BMW. This is crucial for the German firm since it seeks to bring its <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-york-motor-show/new-york-motor-show-bmw-i3" target="_blank">i3</a> EV and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/first-rides-bmw-i8-hybrid-sportscar-and-all-electric-i3" target="_blank">i8</a> hybrid to market, with prices higher than any Zinoro product.</p><p>The Zinoro brand will compete with Denza, a tie-up between Mercedes and BYD, and Venucia, <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/nissan" target="_blank">Nissan</a> and Dongfeng's collaborative effort.

Here's a few more original takes on the summer car <p>I think it is fairly safe to say that spring has finally sprung. So with that in mind, I think we can go and shop for some fun cars. They don't even have to be <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-categories/sports-roadsters" target="_blank">convertibles</a>, just cars that burn as brightly as the midday sun by making a noise and turning heads. I'm going to allocate a thoroughly reasonable £2999 and see what the classified ads throw up. Oh yes, and we have to tease them a bit with some well aimed mods.</p><p>Anything with a V8 engine is great for turning heads. You can pick up Rover 3500s in reasonable condition from the mid-1970s. I would be loathe to do anything drastic to one of those, save some lovely period Wolfrace slot mag alloys.</p><p>Otherwise, I'd look at a Land Rover Discovery or now quite late-model Range Rover that has not been converted to LPG. You could even cut the top off the Range Rover if you were feeling handy with the toolkit.</p><p>Seeing the sky also really appeals to me. So what about a 2004 Daihatsu Copen? It's a teeny, tiny TT with a proper buzzy little engine. I'd put some proper alloys on that. The wheels are at each corner and that's why they should be unmissable. I reckon some quite wide steel rims would beef it up no end.</p><p>A 1999 BMW Z3 would be pretty special, and although it still looks pretty ugly, I feel sure I could make it a lot more interesting. I would be inclined to take the windscreen off and make it into something rather more like a speedster. Sure, I'd have to wear headgear, but what a sense of occasion you'd enjoy every time you went for a drive.</p><p>So that's my list of bonkers ideas. But I reckon you could do better.</p><p>So you've got £2999 and a toolkit; what would you do?</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/concept-cars/600bhp-jaguar-f-type-road-racer-planned">600bhp Jaguar F-type road racer planned</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 10:00 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/concept-cars/600bhp-jaguar-f-type-road-racer-planned" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/Jaguar f-type-gt-BSY_final.jpg" alt="Jaguar plans 600bhp F-type road racer" title="Jaguar plans 600bhp F-type road racer" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Extreme supercharged V8-engined Jaguar F-type, in the spirit of the XKR-S GT, is under consideration <p>An ultra-high-performance <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/jaguar-f-type" target="_blank">Jaguar F-type</a> is being considered by the company's specialist engineers, with the range-topping model potentially being powered by a supercharged V8 with as much as 600bhp.</p><p>The car is believed to be at the planning stage but would become the most powerful Jaguar on sale, cementing its status at the heart of the brand's sporting values. Although it would probably be powered by the 5.0-litre supercharged V8 found in models such as the recently launched Jaguar <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-york-motor-show/new-york-motor-show-jaguar-xjr" target="_blank">XJR</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/first-drives/jaguar-xkr-s" target="_blank">XKR-S</a>, the power output would stretched beyond the 542bhp found in those cars.</p><p>Jaguar boss Adrian Hallmark didn't confirm the project. But he conceded that more limited-series vehicles in the spirit of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-york-motor-show/new-york-motor-show-jaguar-xkr-s-gt" target="_blank">XKR-S GT</a>, revealed at the New York motor show last month and set to be built in a run of no more than 50 units, were likely to happen because of their marketing value as halo cars. And, more important, Jaguar sees them as test beds for future technology that can used in more mainstream cars.</p><p>"Clearly, building a run of 30 to 50 exclusive GTs isn't going to have any impact on the fortunes of the company in sales terms, but the importance of these projects lies in the knowledge they give us," he said.</p><p>"Jaguar is already well known for its ability to create sporty, dynamic cars, but the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-york-motor-show/new-york-motor-show-jaguar-xkr-s-gt" target="_blank">XKR-S GT</a> project has shown us that we can learn more by pushing the envelope. Lessons learned from the dynamics, aero and braking work on that car will enter the mainstream."</p><p>Hallmark also confirmed that, during testing for the XKR-S GT, engineers had experimented with higher-output versions of the supercharged V8.</p><p>"There's a lot you can do with supercharging," he said, "but the lesson we learned was that driveability must always come before brute force. For most people, 542bhp is enough anyway, and whatever power you have, the trick is in being able to get it down on the road. You can have all the power in the world if you want it, but getting the traction to use it is the key."</p><p>The hot F-type is unlikely to reach production until at least 2016, but rumours suggest that a one-off concept could appear as early this year's Goodwood Festival of Speed, where Jaguar has traditionally shown innovative projects ahead of schedule. Last year, for instance, an F-type prototype was driven on the hill by Jaguar chassis guru Mike Cross.</p><p>This year's festival celebrates the 50th anniversary of the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/porsche/911" target="_blank">Porsche 911</a>, a key sales rival to the F-type, giving added appeal to such a project. Hallmark confirmed only that Jaguar would do something "special" at the event.</p><p>Although high-performance models have long been a part of Jaguar's heritage, the company is believed to have firmed up a definitive business case for pushing even further with the new GT brand.</p><p>Developing low-volume halo models allows Jaguar to push its credentials as a manufacturer of sporting premium cars harder, and higher price points give the company room to develop its product range.</p><p>Jaguar's plans to enter the hypercar field with the C-X75 were abandoned earlier this year, and although it hasn't ruled out returning to that sector, Hallmark describes projects based on existing cars as "much more marketable in the short term".</p><p>Cars bearing the GT badge will be developed by Jaguar Land Rover's Engineered To Order (ETO) division. ETO is set to take on a bigger role in the company as it expands to develop more bespoke styling and performance projects for <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/jaguar" target="_blank">Jaguar</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/land-rover" target="_blank">Land Rover</a>.</p><p>Pete Simkin, director of ETO, told Autocar: "We judge each project on its merits, but we hope the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-york-motor-show/new-york-motor-show-jaguar-xkr-s-gt" target="_blank">XK GT</a> is just the start. We would definitely look at the business case for an F-type GT. The ETO division is about extending customer choice by offering a bespoke package. That might mean developing low-run option packs or doing one-offs.</p><p>"Many customers are demanding more in terms of individuality and exclusivity, and we are well placed to deliver that. Our performance heritage is well known, and we have designers within the division who are there to work on customer-led projects. Our role is to consider anything that stays within the values of the brands we represent."</p><p>As well as an F-type GT, Jaguar is expected to develop more moderate (but still hard-edged) versions of the F-type. Insiders have confirmed to Autocar that sporting Jaguars will henceforth be developed under the R, R-S and GT brands. R models will be sporting versions of mainstream cars, R-S versions more extreme performance models and GT cars limited-run, track-focused specials.</p><p>Although the higher-performance F-type models are likely to be the most eagerly anticipated, it is not certain that the sports car will be the next model to get the GT treatment. Instead, an XFR-S GT is thought to be likely.</p><p>Meanwhile, potential rival Audi is already believed to have noted Jaguar's plans, lodging a complaint at the British firm's early use of 'R-S' in a rectangular badge. As a result, Jaguar's logo has been changed.</p><p><strong>Jim Holder/Alistair Weaver</strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="7" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-skoda-fabia-vrs-mk1-2003-2007">Used car buying guide: Skoda Fabia vRS Mk1 (2003-2007)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-skoda-fabia-vrs-mk1-2003-2007" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/skoda-fabiavrs-2003-2007-used-buying-guide-5.jpg" alt="" title="High torque output of vRS makes good tyre choice vital; budget aroud £80 a corner" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The same virtues of pace, value and efficiency that made the Skoda Fabia vRS so appealing new are just as applicable on the used market <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/skoda">Skoda</a> was well ahead of the curve with the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/skoda/fabia">Fabia</a> vRS. It wasn't the first small performance diesel, but it was the first diesel-only hot hatch, sold without a petrol equivalent. And as such it soon built up an appreciative following among those looking for speed combined with economy.</p><p>The vRS is powered by VW's once ubiquitous 1.9-litre PD130 TDI engine – which was charged with motivating everything up to the Audi A6 – and has no difficulty with the lightweight Fabia. Out of the box, the vRS managed both a 9-second 0-60 time and genuine 50mpg-plus economy – and that was before the tuning that so many owners were tempted into.</p><p>No fewer than 12,000 vRSs were registered in the UK during its four year lifespan, and although values have fallen they are still very popular on the used market. "Hot diesels are definitely in at the moment," confirms Mark Bolwell of sports car specialist Evo Motors in Wiltshire, "the Fabia looks like really good value compared to cars like the GT TDI. From a trader's point of view the big problem is finding standard, unmolested ones."</p><p>Because for many owners, the vRS's power and torque figures were just where the bidding started, with a high percentage having been chipped to deliver a higher output. The Fabia can be inexpensively boosted to deliver 150-160bhp (the same output Seat managed with the production-spec Ibiza Cupra TDI which used the same engine.) But for the hardcore fans, that wasn't enough, and there are cars out there which have been pushed towards 200bhp – raising some fairly substantial questions about mechanical longevity.</p><p>The good news is that standard (and mildly tweaked) Fabias have proved themselves tough and reliable, with proof found in the stellar mileages some have run up. Providing it gets treated to regular oil changes, and has its timing belt swapped on the recommended 60,000-mile or four year interval – the engine is reckoned to be pretty much bombproof.</p><p>Later cars, which were tuned to meet Euro IV emissions, can suffer from mid-range hesitancy, but this is inexpensively cured by replacing a gasket in the Exhaust Gas Recirculation valve.</p><p>Other than that, the vRS only suffers from the same issues that effect lesser Fabias, with the most common being leaks, normally past the rear door seals, which can result in waterlogged carpets. The high degree of commonality means that any VW specialist can work on the car and running costs are low. Branded tyres cost around £80 a corner - £50 for budgets. and OE quality replacement front brake discs are just £70 a set. </p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Timing belts are the most expensive regular service item. It needs to be changed regularly budget on at least £350 having it done by a specialist</p><p>Damp carpets – or a musty smell mean leaks.

Less inclined to sing for their supper, most are happy to pay a premium for dealer assurances, then plump for the ease and convenience of trading-in for a newer example later.</p><p>"Yaris buyers tend to be loyal," says Nahide Crisp from Hills of Woodford Toyota in Essex. "And since even older, high-mileage cars fetch good money, it makes sense to stay within the trade."</p><p>That most can be turned around for resale within a day is testament to the car's durability. The only fly in the ointment is the MMT automated manual gearbox which, on pre-facelift cars in particular, can suffer various failures between the ECU, clutch and shift actuator. Remedial bills are unlikely to be less than £650, including labour, and could accumulate to more than £1000.</p><p>However, according to Crisp's colleague Ben Rose, the MMT is a niche choice anyway. "While fuel economy is on a par with manuals, which is impressive for a self-shifter, the MMT doesn't drive like a conventional auto," he says. It's almost mandatory to back off the throttle between upshifts, and owners find the manual more intuitive.</p><p>Indeed, the new Yaris auto uses a slicker CVT gearbox. If you insist on a Mk2 with MMT, though, go for the improved six-speeder that came with the light visual facelift in 2009 (when all models gained a sixth cog apart from the manual-only 1.0-litre petrol). Rose also recommends the 1.4 D4-D as the MMT's most appropriate drivetrain partner.</p><p>Although we found the oil burner noisy and its handling hampered by its weight penalty, it returns the Yaris's best economy figures: low 60s mpg and cheap road tax for five-speed cars, and high 60s with slightly lower tax bills for six-speeders. Band C road tax status is also achieved by the impressively responsive 1.33 petrol engine that replaced the original 1.3 at facelift, adding 14bhp and a smooth-working stop-start system. By then, the underpowered (if charming) 68bhp 1.0 three-pot had lost its efficiency advantage over the larger petrol option, largely limiting its appeal to young drivers seeking cheaper insurance.</p><p>In terms of body shape, Crisp says, the five-door is more desirable. "It tends to maintain its premium, while three-door cars compromise on practicality and need more space to open their longer doors."</p><p>So the expert's pick is the 1.33 five-door manual. A dark horse in the ranks, however, is the rare 131bhp, 1.8 VVT-i that was sold between 2007 and 2008. Quicker than a Fiesta Zetec S, but lacking the Ford's visual impact, the manual-only 1.8 reached 60mph from rest in 9.0sec, yet its discreet body kit and understated 17in alloys meant it had more bite than bark. Significantly higher insurance costs ― plus steep road tax and official returns of 39mpg ― don't sit well with the rest of the Yaris range, but we commended the 1.8's grip, steering feel, refinement and generous SR spec. Its narrow appeal also means the price ― our initial complaint ― is less of an issue.</p><p>TR spec is the recommended equipment choice. Runout bargains were the T Spirit featuring TomTom sat-nav with Bluetooth and USB port, alloys, climate control and rear parking sensors (the only really popular extra), and the final SR with 16in Toyota Motorsport alloys, subtle sports addenda, rear privacy glass, TomTom sat-nav and climate control.</p><p>Services are required every 10,000 miles or annually, alternating between minor and major visits. Most Toyota dealers have signed up for fixed-price tariffs, which means independents aren't always cheaper. Ad hoc labour at a main dealer will typically cost around £125 per hour.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Power loss and/or rough running on diesels probably means the EGR valve is coking up. A clean usually does the job and should involve no more than an hour's labour.</p><p>Recall relating to claimed throttle-pedal return lethargy affects examples built between February 2009 and January 2010. Check this, and other recalls and updates, by entering your car's registration number in the online tool at toyota.co.uk</p><p>Erratic gearshifts on pre-facelift MMT cars take their toll on the clutch and could mean the ECU needs replacing at around £500. A new actuator costs at least £1000 to have fitted. Slippage signals clutch decline.</p><p>Toyota majors on customer service, which is easier to exploit with a dealer-stamped history in hand.

Cheap prices, emissions of 121g/km of CO2, combined fuel economy of 55.4mpg, reasonable servicing costs and a compact footprint tick the sensible boxes, while the quirky, sleek looks, fun powerplant and outright rarity provide the endorphin dose.</p><p>Indeed, as the market's stars have aligned towards the car, prices for the plusher, perkier and more sonorous 101bhp Brabus variant have actually risen of late. And with no evolutionary change in shape, you can't buy one that looks dated. As Anthony Clutterbuck of Surrey Smart Centre (SSC) says, "The market for Roadsters is good, but for Brabuses, it's very good".</p><p>Choose a Roadster and storage is limited to 59 litres in the nose and 103 in the boot, but go for the Roadster-Coupé and the latter almost doubles. Tiny figures, yes, but not tiny enough to render either totally impractical, which is part of the reason Clutterbuck's seen Nissan 350Zs and Porsche Boxsters traded for the sporty little Smart.</p><p>Routine maintenance isn't expensive, largely in line with the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/smart/fortwo">Smart ForTwo</a> from which the Roadster sprang. But a few weaknesses emerged early on, and were poorly handled, much to Clutterbuck's frustration: "Smart was slow to address known problems, and in some cases, never did".</p><p>The major flaw was water ingress due to poor seal design. While improved wing mirrors (identified by the absence of visible interior-side screws) stopped leaks onto the door cards, new seals around the doors and roof were less successful, and the flow of water via the heater box went unattended. The latter leaves the electronic control SAM unit dunked in water like a forgotten Hobnob in your tea, with disastrous effects on the car's circuits. SAMs can't be refurbished, and must be programmed to the exact spec of each car, incurring nearly a grand of expense.</p><p>"We treat the seals to reduce the chance of leaks, but it could still happen to any car," says Clutterbuck. The layer of silicon SSC applies to the heater box seals should save the SAM, though, and sodden carpets can simply be removed, dried, and re-fitted.</p><p>When it comes to specs, Clutterbuck recommends the Sport pack that includes steering-wheel paddles and 16in wheels, and leather seats, which are usually (but not always) heated. Air-con was standard on all Roadster-Coupés, but optional on Roadsters. He says engine remapping can open a can of worms, especially on Brabus cars, and aftermarket exhausts can permanently illuminate the engine warning light.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Grinding from roof mechanism requires a new cable kit at about £80, plus four hours' fitting</p><p>Three lines on the info display signal demise of clutch or clutch actuator</p><p>Slide a hand under the carpet seam towards the back of the cabin to check for moisture.

The C6's new-found measure of sophistication, its smaller footprint, the decision to relaunch the Chevrolet brand in Europe and a favourable exchange rate meant that GM treated us to its Kentucky-built V8 legend.</p><p>The European connection is still important to the used market, since all C6s are left-hand drive and gained the same certificate of conformity (CoC) on arrival from the US. </p><p>A limited supply of UK cars may tempt buyers to look across the Channel for choice, but installing appropriate headlights is no cheap task at about £3500. Personal imports from the US hold limited appeal for the same reason, plus the cost of shipping, duty, VAT and IVA, and the possibility of a chequered history. </p><p>Most examples on our roads are official imports (for which CoCs are required reading) from 2006 to 2008, when two dollars to the pound wasn't unusual, before the original importer's decline in 2009. Indeed, retail prices for the C6 troughed at just under £40k when the revised model appeared in 2008, introducing the larger 6.2-litre LS3 V8 (30bhp more than the 6.0 LS2, 0.5sec quicker to 60mph), tighter and more feelsome steering, a smoother Tremec T6060 manual gearbox and better cabin materials.</p><p>Of all standard C6s, Millett's choice is a coupé of that vintage with a manual gearbox. Four-speed autos were the preserve of 2005 models, and the later six-speed shuffler with rudimentary override paddles is best suited to the softer convertible. Adaptive ride is a rare but worthwhile option, and although the sat-nav is basic, that's almost to be expected.</p><p>As Millett sums it up: "The C6 offers 190mph performance at a reasonable price, a unique look, the practicality of good boot space and turn-key reliability." But there are even beefier options in the form of the 505bhp 7.0-litre Z06 (from 2006) and the Nürburgring-munching 638bhp ZR1 that screamed on to the scene in 2009 with its supercharged 6.2 V8 and crushing 604lb ft of torque. A fixed roof, aluminium chassis and suspension and some carbonfibre bodywork unite the two (and make the Z06 33kg lighter than the C6), but the hen's-teeth ZR1 costs at least twice as much as the Z06, adding standard adaptive ride, huge carbon-ceramic brakes, bigger wheels and a bonnet window, among other madcap goodies.</p><p>The late-model Grand Sport variant, available in targa-style coupé and convertible body styles, sticks with the LS3 powertrain but gets wider tracks, by 30mm up front and 38mm aft. Firmer dampers, springs and anti-roll bars are similar to the Z06's, and manual examples are equipped with a dry sump, revised ratios, differential cooler and rear-mounted battery that are aimed at track use but bring an uncomfortably firm ride on the road.</p><p>Services are due every 10,000 miles, and Bauer Millett charges around £450 for all models, including an oil and filter change, brake check, chassis lubrication and general once-over. You'll need another £90-or-so for a brake fluid change every second visit. Pricey air filters are changed only when an inspection dictates it, which is usually every third or fourth service. </p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Properly maintained clutch fluid should show yellow in the under-bonnet reservoir; black means harmful dust contamination. Slippage is terminal. Reckon on £2000 to fit a new clutch and flywheel to a C6 or Z06.</p><p>Grinding or notching from the rear diff when turning at half lock or more means that an oil change is needed at best. Pay particular attention on Z06s.</p><p>Vauxhall dealers have the necessary kit for servicing, but a history that has been stamped by one of the few UK specialists is preferable, because only they carry full diagnostic software.</p><p>Mind the gap. Anything but a tiny, consistent gap between the nose and front wings usually tells tales. A composite C6 front bumper costs just shy of £1000, and almost the same again paint and fit.</p><p>Tappet-like sounds from a Z06 mean rocker arm needles are being shed; they tend to collect on the sump plug. It costs around £750 to fix, including 16 complete rocker arm assemblies.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Corvette for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://classifieds.pistonheads.com/classifieds/used-cars/chevrolet/corvette" target="_blank">click here </a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="11" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-seat-leon-cupra-r-mk1-2002-2005">Used car buying guide: Seat Leon Cupra R Mk1 (2002-2005)</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 04:01 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/used-car-buying-guides/used-car-buying-guide-seat-leon-cupra-r-mk1-2002-2005" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/seat-leoncuprar-2002-2005-used-buying-guide-2.jpg" alt="" title="Every Cupra R is powerful, so budget tyres won't cope" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> The Leon Cupra R was based on a Golf GTI but a much better hot hatch. It's now a favourite with enthusiasts, and attracts affordable prices <p>Read any online user review of a <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/seat/leon">Seat Leon</a> Cupra R and it'll likely be half about the car, and half about the cars outrun with it. Traffic light grand prix, many with lashings of tyre smoke, feature heavily in the history of many Cupra Rs; it takes legwork to find a nice one.</p><p>The ad may say, "Never thrashed, raced or rallied," but, if that's true, why buy the Cupra R in the first place? Why not stick with the regular Cupra, or the lively Leon TDI? Don't be fooled; the Cupra R's raison d'etre is to be in front away from the lights. Prospective buyers should factor this knowledge in to every car they view.</p><p>Launched in 2002, the original Leon Cupra R was of the VW Group's main draws for hardcore hatch fans. Well equipped from the word go, the Catalan insurgent came lowered into a bespoke bodykit, and on 18in OZ rims over 4-pot Brembos. Inside was climate control, four airbags and a gearknob that went up to '6'. With 207bhp and 199lb ft of torque on tap for its £16,995 price tag, the Cupra R was cheap as fritas.</p><p>The Giugiaro-designed Leon was built on Volkswagen's 'A4' platform (otherwise known as PQ34), which also underpinned the Audi A3 and Mk 1 TT, the Mk 4 Golf and others. The Cupra R used the same 1800cc turbocharged 20-valve engine with forged crank, rods and pistons found in all of these cars.</p><p>This engine has proved reliable in Formula Palmer Audi and even Formula 2 racing, where uprated builds produce 300- and 400bhp respectively. Impressive numbers for a sub-2.0-litre motor, so the road-going versions will take a decent remap if you're into that sort of thing.</p><p>As can be deduced from online research, many owners are definitely into that sort of thing. A dyno-verified 260bhp is not unheard of on a tweaked Cupra Rs, with up to 300bhp available on the later 221bhp examples. All interference carries a price, however: nothing comes free in remap land. Modified cars will deter buyers who prize well-maintained originality above all else, so a breathed-on Leon is not the easiest sell.</p><p>Standard cars in top condition appeal to the widest audience, and solid demand means solid residuals. Spice up the manufacturer's recipe at your peril.</p><p>Cooking versions of the Leon always drove that little bit more crisply than their Volkswagen relatives, so the Cupra R's involving dynamics will come as no surprise. Brembo brakes impress, and the suspension is not as stiff as those big rims would have you believe. The driving position is sound, with the interior only marred by budget trim issues: a loose glovebox lid here, a rattly door panel there. Such is the nature of a performance bargain, but keen drivers are unlikely to complain once the first traffic light scalp has been claimed.</p><p><strong>What to look out for:</strong></p><p>Door internals rattle, catches can be flimsy, bits of seat trim drop off and so on. CD changers can raunchy and engine covers rattle too. Don't let it put you off.</p><p>Exhaust system has some convoluted pipework; check thoroughly for leaks and blows, or even blocked cats. Blue smoke at cold start, tickover or overrun is oil leaking through the turbo seals. Not a good sign.</p><p>Dashboard lights shouldn't remain illuminated once the engine is running, so approach any such cars with caution.</p><p><strong>To search for a used Seat Leon Cupra R for sale on PistonHeads, <a href="http://www.pistonheads.com/classifieds?Category=used-cars&M=567&YearFrom=2002&YearTo=2005" target="_blank">click here</a></strong></p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="12" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anything-goes/leyland-motors-maggie-and-me">Leyland Motors, Maggie and me</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 10:50 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/blogs/anything-goes/leyland-motors-maggie-and-me" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/BL-shareMod.jpg" alt="Leyland Motors, Maggie and me" title="Leyland Motors, Maggie and me" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Growing up in the middle of the British Leyland horror show, I took advice from Lord Tebbit and Mrs T and "got on my bike" <p>It was weirdly appropriate that I should have learnt of Mrs Thatcher's demise, while scanning Twitter, sitting in the bath at my parents' house. It was the very same place where I had been plotting the escape from my home town 30 years earlier – a task made immensely easier by Mrs Thatcher's arrival as PM in 1979.</p><p>I grew up in a small industrial town in a Lancastrian industrial area that was dominated by what politicians call the '1945 national settlement'. In the 1970s, the local Royal Ordinance Factory, British Aerospace and British Nuclear Fuels were all owned by the government. As, of course, was British Leyland. The giant Leyland truck and bus factory, which gave its name to the great British industrial disaster, was only a few hundred yards away from home and dominated the local economy.</p><p>In fact, I now wonder whether I grew up under technical communism, such was the overwhelming reliance on state-owned industry. Even my parents' second house had been built to be affordable on the union-negotiated wages at the Leyland plant. British Leyland affected virtually all of my childhood. Especially when the plant was on strike.</p><p>I can remember a famously long-running dispute at the end of the 1970s when BL boss Sir Michael Edwardes threatened to close the plant if the strikers didn't return to work. The whole town came to a standstill waiting for the traditional 'show of hands'. They did back down, but we all wondered what would have happened to Leyland itself if the 'workers' had tried to call Edwardes' bluff.</p><p>The plan for people from my background was to try and get an apprenticeship with 'the Motors' or one of the supplier companies. I had other ideas and thought university might be a plan. Even though I was brought up in a small, insular town, I could see the writing on the wall. Leaving school at 16 and heading for the heavy industry and the smoke stacks was not a good bet long term.</p><p>Sure, in its heyday of the 1960s, Leyland was the largest commercial vehicle company in the free world, shifting 150,000 units annually. By 1983, the year I left school, it had declined to just 11,000 units. The reasons were numerous, but Leyland trucks had failed to keep up with the motorway age and could not produce the kind of reliable machinery that could pound autobahns year after year. Leyland's home-grown engines left much to be desired.</p><p>One of Leyland's big markets by 1983 was west Africa. There were desperate pleas in the House of Commons to keep open satellite Leyland factories in Scotland and Yorkshire, with one Labour MP suggesting the international aid budget should be used to buy Leyland products and then give them to African countries.</p><p>If you weren't around in those circumstances, it's hard to imagine the impact Mrs Thatcher had our nationalised economy. Even as a 16-year-old, you got a strong sense that the end of four decades of strikes, government money and failed promised were over and it was time to move on and upwards. I did, sneaking into sixth form and then taking off for six years of art college.</p><p>But Mrs Thatcher was surprisingly pragmatic about the BL I turned my back on. She allowed the technical collaboration with Honda and even wrote out a cheque for more than £1 billion in the middle of the 1980s recession to keep BL upright. Lord Tebbitt even convinced her to cough up for the Rover K-series engine development, while the Tories were trying to slowly dismantle and sell off the various loss-making BL brands.</p><p>After all, attempts to fix BL started back on 24 April 1975, when PM Harold Wilson <a href="http://hansard.millbanksystems.com/commons/1975/apr/24/british-leyland-motor-corporation-limited" target="_blank">stood up parliament</a> and suggested that letting a bankrupt BL go to the wall could cost a total of one million jobs and that it needed at least £13bn of investment in today's money. Too big to fail, indeed.</p><p>So here's the irony. The day after Mrs T died, Paccar, owner of the (much shrunken) Leyland Truck plant, announced a new range of DAF trucks, designed and built at Leyland. Paccar's boss admitted that, while it seems unlikely, the Leyland plant is the best of Paccar's global manufacturing network.</p><p>Three decades on, my fellow Leylandians have also proved that they can be as good as anyone in the world. But Maggie was right: throwing good money after bad was a dead end and there was no need to accept managed decline.

The nine-time WRC champion will race in the 'Unlimited' class at this year's event, which takes place on 30 June.</p><p>This year's contender, though familiar in silhouette to the roadgoing 208, is far more extreme to exploit the minimal restrictions of the Unlimited class in which it will compete. According to Michael Trouve, head of silhouette design at Peugeot's Styling Centre, the bodywork alterations give the 208 "an almost beast-like appearance". Within a set of technical constraints, Trove said they worked to produce "an extreme take on the 208".</p><p>His sentiment is borne out by the reality of the 208 T16. The huge front and rear wings and wildly flared wheel arches, to house larger wheels and brakes, are all in the pursuit of victory at the iconic event.</p><p>This year's Pikes Peak is just the second time the event has been run on a completely paved course, following its completion last year. This allowed a new course record of 9min 46sec to be set by victor Rhys Millen in a Hyundai Genesis, a target Loeb will aim to beat this year over the 156 corners and 1500m altitude rise of the Pikes Peak course.</p><p>Peugeot has history with the American event, having won the hillclimb in 1988 and 1989 with a 405 T16. Ari Vatenen's 1988 victory was commemorated in the film 'Climb Dance'. Peugeot had also previously campaigned a 205 T16 at Pikes Peak earlier in the 1980s.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="15" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/week-autocar/autocar-magazine-17-april-preview">Autocar magazine 17 April preview</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 07:05 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/week-autocar/autocar-magazine-17-april-preview" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/cover_20.jpg" alt="Autocar magazine 17 April preview " title="Autocar magazine 17 April preview " width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Fast Jaguar special: Every Jaguar F-type driven; F-type vs 911 vs Boxster; £600k Eagle Speedster driven; Secret Jaguar concept revealed; How to buy a V12 Jag for £2k <p>This week we finally get to deliver the drive verdict on the new <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/jaguar/f-type">Jaguar F-type</a> – and while we can't give anything away just yet, we can reveal our eight-page first drive delivers the all-important verdicts on the V6, V6 S and V8 models.</p><p>That's not the end of our Jaguar coverage, either, as this special issue features 27 pages of news and features on fast Jaguars as we celebrate the launch of what promises to be a pivotal car for the brand.

The model is likely to take the name DSX7 Hybrid-4 into showrooms.</p><p>Details pertaining to the new Citroën are scarce ahead of its world debut in Shanghai on April 21. The car is 4.7m in length, 1.95m in width, 1.59m in height and boasts a 2.9m wheelbase. Autocar sources confirm the Wild Rubis sits on a modified version of the DS5's platform. It is planned to showcase a new petrol-electric hybrid drivetrain to be offered as part of a range of driveline options on the production version that will likely make its premiere at next year's Beijing auto show.</p><p>The new drivetrain uses a transversely mounted gasoline engine to power the front wheels and an electric motor to drive the rear wheels to provide it with four-wheel drive capability.</p><p>Nothing is official just yet, but indications are the four-cylinder gasoline engine will boast a capacity of 1.6-litres. In combination with the electric motor, the direct-injection unit is expected to provide an overall system output of around 240bhp.</p><p>With a length of around 4700mm, the new Citroën SUV is similar in size to the Volkswagen Touareg – just one of a number of established luxury SUV offerings Citroën development Pierre Monferrini counts among the rivals for the production version of the Wild Rubis, which is planned to be produced in co-operation with Citroën's Chinese-based joint-venture partner, Dongfeng.</p><p>Plans are to initially offer the production version of the Wild Rubis exclusively in China. However, Citroën suggests it may also be added to its European line-up as part of plans to position the company's DS brand against the likes of Audi, BMW and Volkswagen.</p><p>Citroën's focus on the Chinese market was first brought to light with the unveiling of the Metropolis concept car at the World Expo in Shanghai in 2010. In similar fashion to the Wild Rubus, the 5300mm-long saloon was billed as a preview to a future Chinese market only model for the DS line-up. But despite Citroën's assurances that it would be produced as a spiritual successor to the original DS, the petrol-electric hybrid powered Metropolis is yet to see production.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="21" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show/shanghai-motor-show-2013-qoros-make-chinese-debut-shanghai">Shanghai motor show 2013: Qoros to make Chinese debut at Shanghai</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 10 Apr 2013 02:19 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show/shanghai-motor-show-2013-qoros-make-chinese-debut-shanghai" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/STU_4995A_0.jpg" alt="Qoros to make Chinese debut at Shanghai" title="Qoros to make Chinese debut at Shanghai" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Latest Chinese manufacturer prepares for its first domestic motor show <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/qoros-unveils-new-models-geneva-motor-show" target="_blank">Qoros</a> will make its Chinese debut at the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show">Shanghai motor show</a> later this month.

First up are some high level specifications which posted in an FAQ document. There's still no word about SoC or platform beyond the rumors we've heard in the past that Glass is like a WiFi-only Galaxy Nexus. This is the first time we've seen official disclosure of some level of specifications however. From the <a href="http://support.google.com/glass/answer/3064128?hl=en&ref_topic=3063354">spec page</a> we get the following, which I've put in a table. </p> <div align="center"> <table align="center" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="1" width="650"> <tbody> <tr class="contentwhite"> <td align="center" colspan="5"> Google Glass Specs</td> </tr> <tr class="tlblue"> <td width="120"> </td> <td align="center" valign="middle" width="85"> Google Glass</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> SoC</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Unknown</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Display</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> 640x360 "Equivalent of a 25 inch high definition screen from eight feet away"</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Camera</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> 5 MP forward facing, with 720p video</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Audio</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Bone Conduction Transducer</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Connectivity</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> 802.11b/g WiFi, Bluetooth</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Storage</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> 16 GB NAND total, 12 GB free</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Battery</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Unknown mAh, "1 full day of typical use"</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> I/O</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> microUSB</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="tlgrey"> Requirements</td> <td align="center" valign="middle"> Android 4.0.3 or Higher with <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.glass.companion">My Glass</a> app</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> </div> <p> Google is very light on detail here, and doesn't give resolution directly although it's obvious looking at the <a href="https://developers.google.com/glass/ui-guidelines?hl=en#delivering_photos_and_video">UI Guidelines</a> from the SDK that 640x360 is the native resolution of the projection system. There's no explicit callout of what SoC is inside (although OMAP4 continues to be a persistent rumor) or battery size in milliamp hours or watt-hours. In addition we see the inclusion of 802.11b/g and no 802.11n, which is a bit curious, although I suspect most of the time Google Glass will be tethered to a smartphone over Bluetooth for connectivity with the companion application. Google also released the <a href="https://developers.google.com/glass/">Mirror API </a>documentation and a few sample applications alongside.</p> <p align="center"> <a href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6901/google-announces-glass-specs-developer-sdk-shipment-to-glass-explorers-in-waves"><img alt="" src="http://images.anandtech.com/doci/6901/Screen Shot 2013-04-15 at 4.21.30 PM_575px.png" style="height: 617px; width: 450px;" /></a></p> <p> The other news is the first official communication of something along the lines of a delivery date for Glass Explorers. In an email sent out today, Google announced that the first Google Glass Explorer models are rolling off production lines and will begin shipping to explorers in waves. I committed myself to getting a Google Glass Explorer at Google I/O 2012 and eagerly await getting hands on time with the $1,500 wearable device.</p> <p> Source: <a href="https://developers.google.com/glass/">Google Mirror API</a>, <a href="https://developers.google.com/glass/ui-guidelines?hl=en#delivering_photos_and_video">Glass UI Guidelines</a>, <a href="http://support.google.com/glass/answer/3064128?hl=en&ref_topic=3063354">Glass Tech Specs</a></p> </p></div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.anandtech.com/show/6890/dell-u3014-lcd-review">Dell U3014 LCD Review</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 11:00 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"> <p> In the last year, 27” 1440p displays went from being really high end in the monitor food chain to becoming close to commodity items that you buy off EBay for cheap from random vendors. It seems that there is a bit of a shift in the high-end display market, where previously resolution was dictating the upper echelon but now as we wait for 4K displays, or retina-style PPI displays on the desktop, it’s other features that are dictating what costs more.</p> <p> The newest reference display from Dell is the U3014, which takes the place of the U3011. It retains the same 2560x1600 resolution of a 30” display, but adds a few more notable features including DisplayPort chaining, USB 3.0 support, uniformity correction, and most notably is one of the first LED-backlit displays with an AdobeRGB gamut. Looking only at the specs, this looks like a monitor aiming for the NEC and Eizo users out there, but does it reach those standards?</p> </div> </td> </tr> </table> <table style="border-top:1px solid

saloon model at the Shanghai motor show <p>This is the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/mitsubishi">Mitsubishi</a> Concept G4, shown ahead of its debut at the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/shanghai-auto-show">Shanghai motor show</a> next week. The new compact saloon is planned to be sold globally.</p><p>The Concept G4 is based around Mitsubishi's lightweight Reinforced Impact Safety Evolution (RISE) body. Mitsubishi says the high-tensile body contributes to best-in-class fuel efficiency. It is powered by a 1.2-litre petrol engine mated to a CVT gearbox.</p><p>Mitsubishi says its light weight contributes to "agile and pleasing" dynamics and a comfortable ride. </p><p>The Concept G4's styling will influence Mitsubishi's future saloons. Key design concepts include a short nose, new swage lines and a "high-clarity" diamond motif. Large door openings, a high hip point and "generous" rear seat space are claimed.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="2" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/michael-schumacher-announced-mercedes-brand-ambassador">Michael Schumacher announced as Mercedes brand ambassador</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 01:21 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/industry/michael-schumacher-announced-mercedes-brand-ambassador" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/schumacher-mercedes.jpg" alt="Michael Schumacher announced as brand ambassador for Mercedes" title="Michael Schumacher announced as brand ambassador for Mercedes" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> F1 legend rejoins Mercedes to assist with the development of its road cars <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/mercedes-benz" target="_blank">Mercedes-Benz</a> has announced Michael Schumacher will become its new brand ambassador.

But Formula 1's dominance in global motorsport means new championships always face a struggle to be noticed <p>Dropped in to Silverstone last Friday evening to get an update on Formula E, the new FIA-approved electric racing category that's due to launch next year.</p><p>The series will pit up to 20 battery-powered single-seaters against each other on temporary circuits laid out in city centres around the globe. A race in London is on the draft calendar, along with Miami, Los Angeles, Putrajaya, Beijing, Buenos Aires and Rio de Janeiro, with more venues to be announced at the end of 2013.</p><p>Usually, my default reaction to any new motor sport championship is a cynical one. It all comes down to money; setting up and running a global series requires a huge amount of capital. But Formula 1 hoovers up so much of the sponsorship cash and media interest that most other forms of automotive competition are left in the shadow cast by Bernie's empire, unable to get enough financial nourishment to take root and thrive.</p><p>Recent history is littered with the junk of valiant concepts – A1 GP, Superleague Formula, ASCAR – that failed to get the traction to survive for more than a couple of seasons.</p><p>There's too much motorsport anyway. In my opinion, racing is already an over-saturated and under-regulated hotchpotch where the keen spirit of skill and technical competition is dulled by a proliferation of soulless single-make championships that are little more than vanity projects for manufacturers.</p><p>Having said all that, I'm not dismissing Formula E in the same way (not yet). For a new championship to survive and gain credibility, it needs a truly unique selling point, and in my view the electric single-seater formula certainly has that.</p><p>On the technical side, Michelin is on board as tyre supplier, while McLaren and Dallara are both involved too. As for the financial aspect, the organisers have pledged to put their money where their mouths are. They have bought 42 cars and will lease them to competing teams for free during the first season. Teams will be encouraged to run the stock chassis in year one and then develop their own cars for the future.</p><p>At Friday's event I chatted to Lord Drayson, former Science Minister turned passionate race team owner and keen supporter of alternatively fuelled propulsion. He was quick to sign up to Formula E, and is now mulling his driver selection. He'd love to get racers with recent Formula 1 experience into his team, both to bring plenty of attention to the category and because he reckons the Formula E single-seater will be a great machine to drive.</p><p>The event on Friday was attended by the likes of Bruno Senna and Jaime Alguersuari, and the presence of such drivers on the Formula E grid next season would boost the championship's profile and give EVs a decent PR boost.</p><p>But Formula E's most significant impact could be in terms of advanced research and development for electric vehicles. During this preparatory year, Drayson's team is testing Qualcomm wireless charging technology that could be incorporated into Formula E in the future, and might one day become commonplace on our streets. And when the racing gets underway next year, the 20 cars on the grid will provide masses of data about battery life in performance vehicles in high-stress situations.</p><p>Formula E seems timely and interesting, and will appear in a year when F1 is radically changing its technical rules to ensure it too remains relevant to what's going on in road cars. Can't wait to see how electric racing stacks up.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="4" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/alfa-4c-key-alpine-sports-car-success">Alfa 4C key to Alpine sports car success</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 15 Apr 2013 12:58 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/alfa-4c-key-alpine-sports-car-success" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/alpine-berlinette_0.jpg" alt="Boost for 2016 Alpine if Alfa 4C succeeds " title="Boost for 2016 Alpine if Alfa 4C succeeds " width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Renault boss sees a sub-supercar class of driver's cars emerging with the Alpine-Caterham project and Alfa Romeo 4C <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/renault" target="_blank">Renault</a> is looking to <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/alfa-romeo" target="_blank">Alfa Romeo</a>'s forthcoming <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013/geneva-motor-show-alfa-romeo-4c" target="_blank">4C</a> to help boost prospects for its forthcoming two-seat Alpine coupé, due to hit the market in 2016 at around £50,000.</p><p>Renault boss Carlos Tavares says the Dieppe-manufactured Alpine and the Alfa (plus the car being designed on the same chassis by its 50/50 partner <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/caterham" target="_blank">Caterham</a>) will together create a new, big-name, sub-supercar class of driver's cars intended to appeal both to well heeled traditionalists and younger driving enthusiasts.</p><p>Styling is "about 70 per cent done", Tavares says. The shape will combine cues from the much-loved A110 (four round headlights, arrowhead nose, low roofline, side scoops, wide rear deck) with proportions and elements that emphasise its modernity. Striking the right balance is one of the major challenges, he says.</p><p>Tavares is tight-lipped about the mechanical details of the car, but just before the new Alpine endurance race car took to the track for the first time at Silverstone, he told Autocar that it would be a two-seat coupé weighing about 1000kg, costing around £50,000 and with about 280bhp on tap. Volume would be "a few thousand" per year.</p><p>The chassis is understood to be a spaceframe mainly of steel, but with weight-saving aluminium and composite components. French reports say the Alpine coupé has all-independent suspension and locates the engine – a four-cylinder turbo petrol unit likely to be of 2.0-litre capacity – transversely behind the occupants. Engineers are still deciding whether it will use the six-speed dual-clutch automatic gearbox recently adopted for the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/renault/clio-renaultsport/first-drives/renault-clio-renaultsport-200-turbo-first-drive-re" target="_blank">Renault Clio Renaultsport</a>, or a conventional stick shift. Caterham's car will use the same chassis and running gear as the Alpine but is understood to be powered by a <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/toyota" target="_blank">Toyota</a> engine.</p><p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/renault" target="_blank">Renault</a> insiders are already discussing the name – notably with its recently appointed advisory board of former Alpine drivers and experts "who created the Alpine story" – but have not yet reached any conclusions about whether to pursue a sequence of letters and numbers (A110, A310, A610) or come up with a name.</p><p>"We have time to discuss and decide," says Tavares. "The production car is about three years away, but about a year before that we will probably show a concept. In the meantime, we will find other ways to feed the brand."</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="5" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/baby-jaguar-saloon-must-be-extraordinary-succeed">Baby Jaguar saloon 'must be extraordinary' to succeed</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 14 Apr 2013 10:00 PM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/new-cars/baby-jaguar-saloon-must-be-extraordinary-succeed" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/jaguar-xe.jpg" alt="Baby Jaguar saloon 'must be extraordinary' to succeed" title="Baby Jaguar saloon 'must be extraordinary' to succeed" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Jaguar is setting the bar high for their BMW 3-series rival; promising innovative technology, the most desirable design and a car that "feels more alive" than rivals <p>Jaguar's <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/bmw/3-series">BMW 3-series</a> rival must be "extraordinary" if it is to have any chance of sales success, according to Jaguar Land Rover CEO Ralf Speth.</p><p>Test mules for the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/scoop/jaguars-bmw-3-series-rival-–-latest-pics">junior saloon</a> have already been spied testing and the car is expected to go on sale in 2015. </p><p>"If we do such a car, it is clear that our rivals have incredible design, incredible cars to drive and incredible strength," said Speth. "We must create something that can rival that, which means our product must be extraordinary, but I also want our cars to deliver a human quality that sets them apart. <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/jaguar">Jaguar's</a> strength is its people, and our products must reflect that."</p><p>Jaguar boss Adrian Hallmark added that the key attributes of the 3-series rival must be that it is better to drive, feature more advanced technology and have a more alluring design than any of its rivals.</p><p>Although he acknowledged that the likes of the 3-series, <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/audi/a4">Audi A4</a> and <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/mercedes-benz/c-class">Mercedes-Benz C-class</a> represent formidable opposition, and that their makers can fall back on larger economies of scale to drive costs down, he denied that the compact executive saloon market was unconquerable.</p><p>"The key has been getting the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/jaguar-f-type">F-type</a> at the heart of our range," said Hallmark. "It stands for everything Jaguar is about and is utterly distinctive. It is the purest expression of what all our cars should be about. Now we must apply that strategy to forthcoming cars, including the baby saloon. The headlines of that car must be innovative technology, the most desirable design and a driving sensation that makes the car feel more alive than anything the opposition has to offer."</p><p>The small <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/jaguar">Jaguar</a> saloon is expected to sit on JLR's highly scalable Premium Lightweight Architecture (PLA) aluminium platform and be built at the firm's Castle Bromwich plant, which would then be able to run at full capacity. By combining the lightweight platform with latest-generation four-cylinder engines, Jaguar hopes to outscore the dynamics and efficiency of its rivals.</p><p>"Selling cars is competitive, and it's no good expecting to walk in and steal your opposition's lunch," said Hallmark. "But we have a view on how we can differentiate ourselves from them, and we believe that at the end of the scale Jaguar will sell in, which is traditionally the higher price point of the market, we can win customers by being distinctive, by avoiding being aloof and by standing for something that is just a little bit different."</p><p>The <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/scoop/jaguars-bmw-3-series-rival-–-latest-pics">baby Jaguar</a> is expected to evolve into a full line-up of body styles, including an estate, coupé and convertible. Jaguar is also tipped to be developing a crossover in tandem with the baby saloon, with the styling and capability focused more around on-road dynamics than any serious off-road capability. It is likely to be launched in 2016 or 2017.</p> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td style="margin-bottom:0;line-height:1.4em;"> <p style="margin:1em 0 3px 0;"> <a name="6" style="font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:18px;" href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motorsport/aston-martin-rapide-s-race-n%C3%BCrburgring-24-hours">Aston Martin Rapide S to race in Nürburgring 24 Hours</a> </p> <p style="font-size:13px;color:#555;margin:9px 0 3px 0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;"> <span>Posted:</span> 12 Apr 2013 06:37 AM PDT</p> <div style="margin:0;font-family:Georgia,Helvetica,Arial,Sans-Serif;line-height:140%;font-size:13px;color:#000000;"><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/motorsport/aston-martin-rapide-s-race-n%C3%BCrburgring-24-hours" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190 imagecache-linked imagecache-car_review_image_190_linked"><img src="http://images.cdn.autocar.co.uk/sites/autocar.co.uk/files/imagecache/car_review_image_190/aston-martin-rapide-s-hydrogen.jpg" alt="Aston Martin Rapide S to race in Nürburgring 24 Hours" title="Aston Martin Rapide S to race in Nürburgring 24 Hours" width="190" height="125" class="imagecache imagecache-car_review_image_190"/></a> Twin-turbo Aston Martin Rapide V12 racer will be the first car to compete in an international event using hydrogen <p><a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-reviews/aston-martin">Aston Martin</a> will campaign a hydrogen-powered <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/aston-martin/rapide-s">Rapide S</a> at the Nürburgring 24 Hours, the first time such a powertrain has been used for an international race.

Aston hopes that using the car in 24-hour endurance event will highlight the reliability of modern hydrogen technology.</p><p>The hydrogen system in the Rapide S is comprised of fuel rails, storage tanks and an ECU. The latter is used to manage the combustion process as the car's intake of petrol and hydrogen varies; it can run on pure hydrogen, gasoline or a blend of both, to ensure optimum power, acceleration and CO2 reduction.</p><p>Four storage tanks hold a total of 3.5kg of hydrogen, contained at 350bar.

The 950bhp hypercar, recently unveiled at the <a href="http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show-2013">Geneva motor show</a>, was undergoing the last stages of pre-production testing before it reaches customers in the autumn.</p><p>Despite the car's camouflage, many of the LaFerrari's styling features can be seen in the shots taken by Autocar reader, Jordan Griffith. The F1-style rear foglight, for example, can be seen under the numberplate. The huge rear intakes are free from disguise.</p><p>The latest Ferrari flagship is powered by a 6.3-litre V12 and a HY-KERS hybrid system. The combustion engine provides 789bhp, with the hybrid assistance contributing the remaining 161bhp to the 950bhp total. Torque is rated at 715lb ft.
