BAC Mono for sale: The only brand new Mono for sale…in the World

That’s because the BAC Mono is not just a stunning car to drive with its 2.3 litre 4-cylinder Cosworth engine delivering 280bhp in a car that weighs so little it gets a power to weight ratio of 520bhp per tonne, and can get to 62mph in a scant 2.8 seconds, and comes with a great spec. The Mono is built using carbon fibre composite wrapped round a steel safety cell, an FIA compliant steel rollover structure, an F3-spec 6-speed sequential ‘box, pushrod suspension, racing damping, AP brakes and special tryes from Khumo. And it’s properly bolted together too, unlike many track-focused cars.

Audi Q3: new entry-level 1.4 TFSI & new S Line Plus trim option

The new Audi Q3 1.4 TFSI (pictured) offers a sensible petrol alternative Although we all now seem as obsessed in the UK by frugal diesel engines as Europe has been for many years, there’s a lot to be said for a petrol engine. So the launch of the Audi Q3 1.4 TFSI petrol as the new entry point for the Q3 range should make private buyers – and those who don’t do mega miles – sit up and take notice. The Q3 1.4 TFSI only comes with front wheel drive, but it does offer a sensible alternative to the 2.0 litre TDI 140 for many buyers, with 148bhp, a 0-62mph of 9.2 seconds (8.9s with the optional S tronic ‘box), official economy of 47.9mpg and emissions of 137g/km.

Future products: Kia seeks lively, upscale look

Kia's redesigned Optima sedan and the Cadenza replacement for the Amanti, both due next year, reflect an emphasis on creating a livelier and more upscale look for the once-bland brand. Indeed, styling has been a crucial element of Kia's new-product push in the past 18 months. The team at Kia Design Center America near Los Angeles--part of the automaker's global design network led by onetime Audi design chief Peter Schreyer--has helped set the new styling direction.
