Design your own Caterham

Caterham Cars will soon be creating its next new vehicle, but it won't be designed by its design team. The new car will instead have the design conceived online by the public. The manufacturer of the Seven is offering every car enthusiast, irrespective of engineering skill, design experience or mechanical ability, a dream opportunity to design an all-new sports car in collaboration with Project Splitwheel.

Hyundai arrives in Piccadilly Circus

Hyundai arrives in Piccadilly Circus If you want a clear sign of how mainstream Hyundai has become, the news that it’s taken over the iconic billboard display in Piccadilly Circus from Sanyo is as much evidence as you need. Piccadilly Circus is the UK version of Times Square, and the neon signs have been a splash of international colour washing over Eros for a century, during which time there have been just fifty brands showcasing their wares to the 50 million or more passing Londoners – and visitors – every year, not counting the millions more who see the signs on Piccadilly Circus postcards that still wing their way round the world. The new Hyundai spot – which has been the Sanyo space for the last 33 years – is the last of the spaces to rely on neon lights to get its message across.

BMW's N20 engine--four cylinders, more power

More power, greater torque, reduced fuel consumption, lower tailpipe emissions and less weight--but better?
