Hyundai Grand Santa Fe for Europe at Geneva – but the UK doesn’t get it

The Hyundai Grand Santa Fe – a stretched version of the new Hyundai Santa Fe – is to go on sale in Europe and debut at Geneva 2013. But not for the UK. It’s nearly a year since the new Hyundai Santa Fe launched, and a good, proper size SUV it is.

New car emissions lowest ever

THE AVERAGE CAR in the UK now emits an average of 128.3g/km, the lowest ever and almost 30% less than in 2000. This means the UK has exceeded the target set by the European Union for average CO2 emissions of 130g/km by 2015. The next target is 95g/km that is set for 2020.

BAC Mono for sale: The only brand new Mono for sale…in the World

That’s because the BAC Mono is not just a stunning car to drive with its 2.3 litre 4-cylinder Cosworth engine delivering 280bhp in a car that weighs so little it gets a power to weight ratio of 520bhp per tonne, and can get to 62mph in a scant 2.8 seconds, and comes with a great spec. The Mono is built using carbon fibre composite wrapped round a steel safety cell, an FIA compliant steel rollover structure, an F3-spec 6-speed sequential ‘box, pushrod suspension, racing damping, AP brakes and special tryes from Khumo. And it’s properly bolted together too, unlike many track-focused cars.
