Ford Fiesta Sport Special Edition launches

Ford Fiesta Sport Limited Edition Another day, another Fiesta limited edition, this time the Ford Fiesta Sport Special Edition. Must have taken forever to come up with that name. This is the follow on from the Fiesta 1600S – which other parts of Europe got as the Sport+ – but this time the name’s the same whether you’re in the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands or Switzerland.

Volvo S60 L plug-in petrol hybrid heading for Beijing Motor Show

The Volvo S60L Plug-in (pictured) heading for Beijing The Volvo V60 Plug-in is already doing good business for Volvo – despite a price tag of £50k – but the V60 plug-in is a diesel hybrid which doesn’t suit all markets. So Volvo are ploughing ahead with a petrol engine based plug-in hybrid with the debut at the Beijing Motor Show next week of the Volvo S60 L Plug-in, a petrol hybrid version of the long wheelbase S60. At first glance the S60 Plug-in looks just like its regular ICE sibling, but under the skin sits a 2.0 litre Drive-E petrol engine with 238bhp and 258lb/ft of torque – which drives the front wheels – and a 68bhp electric motor with 147lb/ft of torque that can drive the rear wheels, which can be recharged in 4.5 hours.

New Jaguar XJ – the Marketing

Elle Macpherson and Jay Leno - the very start of marketing for the new Jaguar XJ Marketing One thing you will see if you do any amount of air travel is the complete takeover by Jaguar of T5 at Heathrow. Huge billboards, touch-screen adverts, in-flight magazines – arrivals and departures all – will be barraged with the new Jaguar XJ for a whole month. And it’s a clever – and cost-effective – move by Jaguar.
