Infiniti fast tracks small diesel engines

Infiniti is fast-tracking new small diesel engines in the wake of the Daimler-Renault-Nissan partnership signed today in Brussels.Nissan's upmarket division will take supply of Merc's smaller four-cylinder turbodiesels - at a stroke thrusting it into the heartland of the executive sector. At present, it struggles to compete with its 3.7-litre V6 petrol only range of G saloons and coupes, and large-engined SUV crossovers. Sooner than you might think.

Jaguar F-Type Coupe revealed early

Jaguar F-Type Coupe revealed early The new Jaguar F-Type Coupe will be officially revealed later today (well, the early hours of tomorrow in the UK) as Jaguar stage a Range Rover Sport style dynamic reveal in Los Angeles. But the new F-Type – teased to death by Jaguar in the last few weeks – has arrived a little early thanks to a scanned page from a German car magazine which had access to the details of the new F-Type ahead of its reveal to get their copy in place. It reveals an F-Type that looks very like the original C-X16 Concept the F-Type was heralded by, but with the glass roof we saw in an earlier tease, although the haunches and the transition in to the tail gate look a little rounder than they did on the C-X16 (but that could be an illusion in the images).

BMW M550d xDrive to get three stage turbo

BMW M550d xDrive gets three stage turbo Earlier this week we revealed that the long-expected BMW M550d xDrive was ready to rock and we could expect it to debut at the Geneva Motor Show in Spring 2012. The M550d xDrive is the so-called ‘Triple-Turbo’ diesel engine we’ve been expecting from BMW for the last couple of years. With 380bhp and a mountain of torque – 520lb/ft or more – we’d expected BMW to fit the engine to the X5 and X6 to create a diesel version of the M cars.
