Mercedes C-class AMG DTM (2012) at Frankfurt motor show

Mercedes’ F125 concept might preview a hydrogen future for the automobile, but alongside this tech-laden show car Benz boss Dr Zetsche (with a little help from Michael Schumacher and Nico Rosberg) also unveiled a hardcore race car. It’s the Mercedes C-class Coupe AMG DTM, which will compete in next season’s Deutsche Tourenwagen Masters – think touring car, only with 4.0-litre V8s and rear-wheel drive chassis. Is the Mercedes C-class Coupe AMG DTM a C63 AMG Coupe under the skin?

It’s this high-tech brain activity monitor that has now been adapted to determine how hard a driver is concentrating on the road ahead.

2012 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 costs £62,285

2012 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 costs £62,285 The 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 comes as a single model with a 4.5-litre V8 turbodiesel and big spec and costs £62,285. We reported at the end of December that the 2012 Toyota Land Cruiser V8 was going to debut on 12th January at the Brussels Motor Show and, following that debut, we now learn Toyota will be wanting a not inconsiderable £62,285 for the Land Cruiser V8 in the UK. Which is a lot of money, even for for a big off-roader, but then the V8 Land Cruiser is a lot of vehicle and, in its new 2012 iteration, it offers a lot of value for money.
