Suzuki Grand Vitara SZ Range extended

Suzuki has extended the Grand Vitara SZ Range with new engines and a minor restyle When the SZ range launched it did so with a 2.4 litre engine.

Peugeot 2008: First photos arrive

The first photos of the Peugeot 2008 – an SUV / Crossover version of the new 208 – have arrived ahead of an official reveal next week.

But what’s also interesting is that Ron did his Top Gear lap on the P1′s road tyres, specially developed for McLaren by Pirelli, and not on hand-cut slicks like the Pagani Huayra.
