Autoesque

Model sharing between rival brands is rife in the van industry. The practice undoubtedly slashes development costs, meaning customers can (in theory at least) enjoy better value for money. Less genuine product choice is an inevitable side effect, though.

With its tenth birthday rapidly approaching, the R35 GT-R is virtually a pensioner in automotive terms. Nissan's super-coupé isn't ready for retirement just yet, though.

This year's British Touring Car Championship grid is set to consist of 32 drivers representing 11 different manufacturers.

Compared to its road-going counterpart, the new NSX GT3 features a very different powertrain in order to comply with FIA homologation rules.

Given the mediocrity of the other two finalists, it's hardly surprising that the Mazda MX-5 has been named 2016 World Car of the Year at the New York International Auto Show.

Q-cars (or sleepers, depending on your choice of terminology) mix plain looks with rapid performance. For a particular breed of driver who's more concerned with 'go' rather than 'show', they hold a special appeal.

SsangYong hails from South Korea, a country which has been separated from North Korea by the Demilitarized Zone since 1953. So naming a Korando Sports limited edition after that narrow strip of land is somewhat apt (but very odd).

For the first time, Mercedes-AMG has developed a high-performance mid-size SUV. The GLC 43 4Matic – which is set to arrive at dealers in June – will slot between the existing GLA 45 4Matic and GLE 63 S 4Matic in the brand's model line-up.

Given the imminent demise of Scion , the brand's presence at the upcoming New York International Auto Show seems like a pointless money-wasting exercise. However, it's being treated as a final farewell to the marque (and, no doubt, an opportunity to persuade fans to switch their allegiance to Toyota).

Chevrolet has confirmed that the 2017 Camaro ZL1 will feature an updated 6.2 litre LT4 V8 engine. Thanks to a supercharger and special intake and exhaust systems, it produces an estimated 640 bhp (477 kW / 648 PS) with 868 Nm (640 lb/ft) of peak torque.

California is currently the biggest market for mid-size pick-ups in the United States, so Chevrolet's latest Colorado special edition has been created with customers from that state in mind.

This season will see the 595 Omologata Turismo replace the 500 Assetto Corse in Abarth's single-make Selenia Trophy race series.

Mini is mainly targeting the fleet and corporate sectors with its One D Clubman. However, a decent mix of efficiency and equipment should mean that private buyers are also attracted to the new arrival.

In the absence of a V8-powered model (for now), the quickest member of the new W213 E-Class range is going to be the just-announced Mercedes-AMG E 43 4Matic.

Following the appearance of a concept last year, Volkswagen has unveiled the production version of its Multivan PanAmericana.

As this year sees the Morgan 4/4 celebrate its 80th birthday, a limited edition has been launched to honour the occasion.

Inspired by motorsport, the new Corvette Grand Sport combines a normally-aspirated engine with various chassis and bodywork enhancements.

Fiat has unveiled five-door hatchback and estate versions of its all-new Tipo at the Geneva International Motor Show. These two additional body styles join the four-door saloon , which was revealed last October.

Following the EV3 prototype's debut last June, Morgan has unveiled a pre-production version of its electric-powered three-wheeler at the Geneva International Motor Show.

As soon as the new Fiat 124 Spider was launched, speculation began about when a quicker Abarth-badged version would arrive. Well, it's here now.

Following a second round of voting, organisers of the 2016 World Car Awards have revealed the top three finalists in each category.

Lotus founder Colin Chapman resolutely took the “to add speed, add lightness” approach when designing his road and race cars. While that philosophy has never really left the company, it's currently being pursued with a renewed vigour.
