Hot turbo engines for BMW's 3-Series

By Angus Fitton Motor Industry 11 August 2006 10:36 Three new six-cylinder engines are joining the BMW 3-Series range. Top of the pile – until the V8 M3 arrives – is the 335d, which runs the twin-turbo 3.0-litre diesel engine offered in the 5-series. An explosive 428lb ft of torque (that's more than the V10 M5) and 286bhp means it can surge to 62mph in only 6.2sec.

Smart ForTwo Edition Urbanstyle arrives

The Smart Fortwo Edition Urbanstyle - the cabriolet shown is a 'Special Order'. We can’t be 100% certain, but we think it’s highly likely that there is no such thing as a ‘Regular’ Smart. Whenever we come across a Smart car it’s always a ‘Special Edition’ or a ‘Limited Edition’ or an ‘Edition’ of some description.

SsangYong releases new Rodius sketches

SsangYong has released the first images of its new Rodius MPV, soon to be unveiled at next month's Geneva motor show. Based on SsangYong's ‘Robust, Premium, Specialty' design philosophy the carmaker says the new Rodius is "styled to be fit for outdoor, off-road driving as well as on-road driving". The front three-quarter sketch shows that the exaggerated, streamlined front grille has been retained – albeit it with a slight modification – while it also features angular headlamps.
