Porsche Cayenne GTS Design Edition 3

Porsche introduces the Cayenne GTS Design Edition 3 for £64,753. [ad#ad-1] Despite ‘The Economy’ and the general antipathy towards big SUVs, the Porsche Cayenne powers on and still sells in numbers that astonish those who don’t understand the car. The last model to be introduced (apart from the very limited Cayenne Transsyberia) was the GTS; a more road-focused version with a tweaked version of the normally aspirated 4.8 litre V8.

Volvo confirms big production increase for V60 Plug-in Hybrid

Volvo has been building around 150 V60 Plug-ins a week at its facility in Torslanda – alongside the regular V60, V70, S80 and XC90 – but that is now set to be upped to 282 cars a week for the rest of 2013, with plans to build at least 10,000 in 2014. The fact is that the V60 is a very appealing estate car already, and bolting a plug-in hybrid setup has turned it in to a big hit in showrooms because the barking mad official economy and emissions system bestows the V60 plug-in with emissions of just 48g/km, making it a real no-brainer in countries where governments blindly tax cars based on their official emissions. That means countries like Holland, where Volvo has received more than 3,000 orders for the V60 Plug-in, and the UK are lapping up the hybrid offering from Volvo as a way to escape big taxes and still have a swift (0-62mph in 6.1 seconds), appealing and stylish car.
