VW Passat Bluemotion 2 (2008) unveiled

By Ben Whitworth First Official Pictures 03 November 2008 10:50 Volkswagen has opened up its order books on its new Passat Bluemotion 2, it’s cleanest and greenest Passat yet. Replacing the current Bluemotion model, the Mk2 Bluemotion is powered by a 110bhp 2.0-litre common rail diesel that’s been recalibrated with a lower idle rate and fitted with a switchable start/stop system to cut emissions and boost economy. When it arrives here in January, the Passat will post a combined economy figure of 57.6mpg and a CO2 rating of 128 g/km - useful savings compared to the outgoing 1.9-litre 105bhp BlueMotion model (55.4mpg and 136 g/km).

Range Rover Evoque 5 Door: The Video

The Range Rover Evoque 5 Door Video Although it’s good to see Land Rover being proactive with releasing information in response to web activity (the single image of the 5 door Evoque they released after it got papped at Paris, for example) we wonder if they’re in danger of having no dry powder left for the offical reveal of the 5 door Evoque at the LA Motor Show next month. Yesterday we had a decent gallery of photos of the 5 door Evoque and a press release to go with it. True, the press release didn’t tell us a lot more than we already knew, but it did give us information about the extra room in the 5 door and the MagneRide suspension.

Land Rover and Bowler formalise Brand partnership – but no Land Rover stake in Bowler

Land Rover has formalised a brand partnership with Bowler Motorsport, makers of extreme off-road vehicles. Bowler has been making off-road rockets powered by Land Rover for over twenty years and has, during that time, enjoyed a fair bit of support from Land Rover. But now that less formal arrangement has been properly formalised with a brand partnership.
