Kia Ray Concept at Chicago Motor Show

Kia wil preview the Kia Ray Concept plug-in hybrid at the Chicago Motor Show next month Yes, the Detroit Motor Show is only just about done, but waiting in the wings is the rather less fancy Chicago Motor Show (although they probably won’t thank us for describing it as such). But despite Chicago being a lower key affair than Detroit they will still get their share of new stuff. Well, not necessarily new (we reported that North America gets the BMW Alpina B7 which will debut at Chicago) but certainly new to the US.

Range Rover Westminster & upgraded Autobiography run-out models arrive

The Range Rover Westminster & upgraded Autobiography models arrive Land Rover has revealed the Range Rover Westminster to replace the Vogue and upgraded Autobiography models, marking the end of the current Range Rover. Back in 2001, when the last Range Rover was coming to the end of its life, Land Rover delivered the Range Rover Westminster as a run-out model. And here we are, ten years after the launch of the current Range Rover, and Land Rover has dusted off the Westminster moniker to signal the end of the current Range Rover.

VW Beetle GSR: Price from £24,900

The Beetle GSR is a homage to the Yellow-Black Racer Beetle from the 1970s (GSR stands for Gelb Schwarzer Renner – which means Yellow-Black Racer) which featured a similar paint job, boosted power (a whole 49bhp) and was also limited to 3,500 units. But the 2013 version of the Beetle GSR does at least offer much more get up and go than the 1970s GSR managed. That means the GSR comes with VW’s 2.0 litre turbo with 207bhp which is enough to get the yellow Bug to 62mph in 7.3 seconds on its way top 142mph, and is the same power output all Beetles with the 2.0 litre TSI will get from May 1st (up from 197bhp).
