SEMA 2008 show report: Volkswagen Passat CC

By Ben Whitworth Motor Shows 07 November 2008 09:00 Volkswagen’s sobriety took a back seat at the SEMA show in Las Vegas this week – it pulled the covers off a pair of muscle-bound Passat CCs, a racy 295bhp Tiguan and a grunty diesel Jetta aimed at cajoling the American market into turning its back on gasoline. The unambiguously named Performance CC – designed by Volkswagen’s California-based design centre – gets a shot in the arm from a three-stage turbo boost to its 2.0-litre TSI engine. In Eco mode you get a modest 222bhp and 236 lb ft of torque, GT mode hikes those outputs to 252bhp and 268 lbs ft, while the Full Power stage unleashes 311bhp and 313 lb ft.

Win a ride in the Honda FCX Clarity fuel cell

CAR has a rather special eco treat to offer to one lucky reader – a chance to ride in Honda’s FCX Clarity. Not heard of the FCX Clarity? Well you should have because it’s the world’s first serious hydrogen-powered car (only water is emitted from the exhaust) and a few lucky Californians and Japanese currently get to lease one as part of Honda’s research, even though they’re worth about £1m each.

Lexus CT 200h by Fox Marketing gets 300bhp

Lexus CT 200h by Fox Marketing gets a Supercharger and 300bhp You may recall, at the end of last month, we reported on the Lexus CT 200h by Fox Marketing, a pimped and tarted Lexus CT 200h which was going to feature a supercharger bolted to its HSD. At the time we had precious little detail beyond a photo of a CT 200h being endowed with go-faster body and primed for a paint job. But now, with the reveal at the New York Motor Show, we have a little more.
