Mercedes design boss speaks out

By Tim Pollard Motor Industry 22 January 2007 09:40 We spoke to Mercedes design boss Peter Pfeiffer at the recent Detroit Motor Show – and asked him about the future strategy at the Stuttgart company.

Koenigsegg One:1 to debut at 2014 Geneva Motor Show

The extreme Koenigsegg One:1 (pictured) will debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor SHow At the end of 2012 we exclusively revealed the first details of the Koenigsegg One:1, an extreme take on the Agera R and being built in very small numbers. Then, in September last year, we were able to flesh out what the Koenigsegg One:1 would offer after Koenigsegg revealed more details – and it is impressive. The One:1 will come with 1,400 HP and weigh in at just 1400 KG, and that weight includes all fluids and even the weight of an average driver.

Wild Peugeot 308 R Concept set for Frankfurt debut

Peugeot has spiced up the launch of the all-new Peugeot 308 by teasing us with photos of the 308 R Concept to be launched at the Frankfurt Motor Show. And while we could suggest Peugeot has got the Golf GTI and Focus ST in its sights, we like to think of the 308 R Concept more as a grown-up version of the Peugeot RCZ R. And although the 308 R Concept is unlikely to become anything other than a limited-run special, it certainly raises the prospect of a super-hot performance 308.
