Citroen Lacoste concept car first pics

This is the Citroen Lacoste concept, a playful tie-up between the quirky French marque and its equally French fashion partner. If you think you can find a hint of the next-gen C1 in here then good luck with that. After all, this car has no doors, no roof, an inflatable hood and a retractable rear bench which is literally that, ie, a bench.

Stratstone start selling Classic Jaguars

In what’s thought to be an industry first  Jaguar main dealer Stratstone is selling classic Jaguars supplied by specialists Classic Motor Cars of Bridgnorth. The world of classic cars is one that isn’t normally immediately accessible to buyers of new cars; the classic car world is thought of by many as a world of men with pipes and leather patches on their elbows inhabiting their own secret world of a bygone day. But with classic cars proving to be one of the soundest investments you can make – as long as you choose well – it’s a world buyers of new premium cars could to well to look at, especially with the tax breaks classic car investment brings, never mind the joy of owning a mobile work of art.

New 2014 VW Golf R gets 296bhp – first photos

The 2014 Volkswagen Golf R (pictured) revealed ahead of its Frankfurt debut We had expected the new Volkswagen Golf R to debut at Geneva this year, but that debut turned out to be the rather disappointing Mk 6 VW Golf R Cabrio, that not only sacrificed 4WD but came at a silly price (which VW subsequently dropped by more than £5k). But this time there’s no mistake, and the 2014 version of the VW Golf R – complete with 4WD, we’re pleased to say -will arrive next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show before going on sale in early 2014. Under the bonnet the 2.0 litre petrol turbo delivers a healthy 296bhp (300PS) and 280lb/ft of torque which is sent to all four wheels through VW’s latest Haldex 4Motion 4WD, with the ability to decouple the back axle drive under low load conditions and send almost all the power to the back wheels too when demanded.
