Fenix Automotive – the new supercar by Lee Noble

By Tim Pollard First Official Pictures 06 January 2010 00:01 Don't get confused with the new Noble M600, recently tested by CAR and others. This is the new Fenix supercar from the real Lee Noble, and his fledgling independent supercar outfit, Fenix Automotive. The two-seater supercar unveiled in these photos will go on sale in the latter half of 2010, probably around September time.

New Kia Rio (2011 / 2012) starts at £10,595

New Kia Rio - on sale 1st September Last week we had the reveal of the 3-door Kia Picanto, and today confirmation that the 2012 Kia Rio - revealed at the Geneva Motor Show in the Spring and first cousin to the Hyundai i20 – will be on sale in the UK on 1st September from just £10,595. Busy times for Kia. The new Kia Rio will launch as a five door, but we can expect to see a sportier three door version in the New Year.

Jaguar XJ & XF get 4WD

Jaguar has announced that four wheel drive versions of the Jaguar XJ and Jaguar XF will be available – but not in the UK. Jaguar has long bemoaned the lack of a 4WD platform for their cars, and even blamed such a lack of flexibility for the delay in launching the XF Sportbrake. We’ve been expecting Jaguar to reveal a 4WD version of the XJ for a while (especially as the new Range Rover utilises the same platform) but we didn’t expect a 4WD XF until the next generation XF launches in a couple of years.
