Ford teams up with Heinz for tomato car parts

Ford and Getty Images Forget carbonfibre, the new must-have material on your vehicle will soon be tomato fibre – or so Ford and food manufacturer Heinz are hoping. The American carmaker and the food giant have teamed up to "explore the use of tomato fibre to develop a sustainable bio-plastic material for vehicles," bringing environmentally friendly motoring to a whole new level. Ford and Heinz tomato car parts: how will they work?

Jaguar C-X75 reveal LIVE on Cars UK

The Jaguar C-X75 will get the family nose On Sunday we reported that Jaguar would be taking a surprise concept along to Paris – the Jaguar C-X75 Concept – which is said to point the way to the future of Jaguar design. But is that the future of Jaguar design per se, or is it the future of Jaguar design for ‘Sports’ cars? We tend to the latter view, and are expecting to see a sports car that loses the traditional E-Type oval grill and is instead treated to  a rhinoplasty which evokes the XJ nose.

Rolls Royce Ghost spotted at Dover

A virtually uncamouflaged Rolls Royce Ghost caught waiting for a ferry at Dover We’ve seen the Rolls Royce Ghost (formerly known as the RR4 or EX200) out testing in various states of camouflage over the last few months. Finally, at the Geneva Motor Show, we got a proper look at the Ghost, and then, in April, Rolls Royce decided to tell us what we already knew back in February, that it was to be known as the Rolls Royce Ghost, to make a brace of ethereal model names for Rolls Royce, along with the Phantom. So with Rolls Royce seemingly on target to launch the Rolls Royce Ghost as a production-ready car at the Frankfurt Motor Show in September, they are busy testing the Ghost in Europe, and our snappers caught this virtually uncamouflaged Ghost patiently waiting to catch a ferry at Dover to sail to Calais.
