The Latest News, Announcements And Rumours From The World Of Cars
What do you get if you take a Yaris sized supermini, make it lighter, then power it using a smaller version of the powertrain from the Prius? This…the world’s saddest looking car. But apart from that, it’s the Toyota FT-Bh (short for “Future Toyota B-segment hybrid”) concept which made its debut at the 2012 Geneva [...]
Faster than a Porsche 911, cleaner than a Toyota Prius – That’s the Infiniti Emerg-E concept revealed at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It boasts an electric motor in each rear wheel for a total power output of 402bhp, 60 mph in 4.0 seconds, an EV range of 30 miles rising to 300 miles using [...]
Captains of industry rejoice, there’s a newly updated Rolls Royce Phantom waiting for you at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. However, the Phantom is no ordinary car. While most cars are updated after four years and replaced after seven, the Phantom has just received its first major update aged nine. And unlike most manufacturers, they’ve [...]
You wait all that time for a premium convertible SUV and two come along all at once. Well, three if you count the Land Rover DC100 Sport. First, the 2012 Geneva Motor Show welcomed the Range Rover Evoque convertible concept and now this, the Ssangyong XIV-2 concept. Following on from the XIV-1 concept, the XIV-2 [...]
This is the Giugiaro Brivido coupe, the latest concept to grace the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. Created by Italian design house ItalDesign, the stunning GT Coupe has gullwing doors and is unlikely to reach production…ever. And if we’re not mistaken, Brivido is the Italian word for thrill. So I suppose you could call it an [...]
This is the newly revealed Nissan Hi-Cross concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It previews the possible design language for the Nissan Crossover portfolio. And we all know that Nissan rarely does a concept just for fun. So you could be looking at the new Juke, Qashqai, Murano or even the next-generation X-Trail SUV. [...]
The Hyundai Veloster is a car of contrasts which defy expectations. It looks like a coupe, but it’s not. It looks like it should be able to shift quickly, but doesn’t. They went to the trouble of making a quirky yet good-looking coupe-hatch and then ruined it with a weedy little diesel. But they’ve been [...]
Despite what you might imagine, the Tata Megapixel is not a digital camera. It’s a small four-seat electric city car and the follow up to the Pixel concept from last year. Unveiled at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, the range-extended EV is capable of up to 282 mpg (in theory) and CO2 emissions as low [...]
After a protracted teaser campaign and eventual leak, this is the Pininfarina Cambiano concept at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. With looks straight from the past and the future the luxury sports saloon-coupe takes inspiration from the 1957 Lancia Florida II. It’s also electric, so that should please the world’s polar bears…and Al Gore. And [...]
This is the new Volkswagen Polo BlueGT which has just appeared from beneath a silk cover at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show. It’s also the second most powerful Polo you can buy. With 138bhp from the turbocharged 1.4-litre petrol engine the warm hatch slots into the range between the 104bhp 1.2 TSI Polo and the [...]
