New Ford Mondeo to get new 1.5 litre EcoBoost engine

The new EcoBoost engine will also be turning up in the Ford Fusion for North America, but the UK and Europe are going to have to wait until at least the end of 2014 – when we get the new Mondeo - before the new engine is on offer. The 1.5 litre EcoBoost offers improved economy and emissions compared to the 1.6 litre currently available  - with similar power, performance and torque compared –  but one of the main reasons for offering it is that many countries offer tax breaks for engines under 1.5 litres. The new engine will be built by Ford In Romania initially (although it will get churned out elsewhere too in due course) and offers turbocharging, direct fuel injection and variable valve timing.

Citroën Lacoste Concept at Paris

You would be entirely forgiven for taking one look at the photo at the top and deciding it was a another over the top Golf Buggy for golfers with more money than taste (no, I’m not going there). But if it’s not a mad golf buggy there’s only on other thing it could be – a daft concept from Citroen; a speciality of the French maker, especially at their home Motor Show.

£10 million of cars in a Shed

The very rare Mercedes 600 Pullman Landaulet It seems a bit odd, walking in to a unit which looks from the outside as if it should be turning out plastic widgets or some other industrial estate fodder, to be confronted by a sea of glorious cars. Walk through the door and there sits the pair of RHD Mercedes CLK-GTRs we reported on recently. Stunning to look at, they look better in the flesh than in the pictures.
