Porsche Panamera Diesel (2011) first official pictures

Like the Porsche 911 GT3 RS 4.0? Then this new Porsche Panamera Diesel probably isn't the car for you – it's the cheapest and most economical Panamera yet. The new Panamera Diesel is also Porsche's second-ever diesel model, joining the Cayenne in Porsche's oil-burning range.

Volvo XC60 R-design – more detail

Volvo has released more details of the XC60 R-Design Although the XC60 R-Design doesn’t get any sort of power boost, it does get some tweaks to the setup to provide a more sporty drive. Volvo has stiffened up the chassis and added more damping, and tweaked the steering ratios to give a quicker response.  But Volvo reckons this has virtually  no impact on ride quality (which begs the question ‘Why didn’t they do it to start with if there’s no trade-off’) and sensibly they have not gone down the lowered suspension route, so the XC60 still has good ground clearance. Volvo has added a rear seat entertainment package option to the XC60 On the cosmetic front, the R-Design gets body coloured lower section, matt silk metallic finish for the trim and chrome tailpipes.
