Autoesque

Suzuki has launched the GSX-S1000 Carbon Edition and GSX-S1000FA Tour Edition in the UK. In both cases, those names give a big clue regarding their extra specification.

As its name suggests, the new Elise Race 250 is intended purely for competition use.

BMW Motorsport is developing a racing version of the M4 Coupé for customer teams and its own Junior Programme. This new competition car will comply with GT4 regulations, but deliveries aren't due to begin until the second half of 2017.

Growing concerns about worsening city-centre air quality might eventually lead to severe restrictions for diesel-powered vehicles in municipal areas. Of course, such curbs would probably affect delivery trucks too, so manufacturers are starting to explore alternatives.

Next year will see the return of Toyota to the World Rally Championship. In preparation for that impending challenge, work on a new WRC-specification Yaris is progressing.

Following the Light Weight Super Sports Concept's debut at last year's Tokyo Motor Show, Honda has unveiled the production CBR250RR.

Only 200 examples of the M5 Competition Edition are going to be built, so it’s set to be a very rare sight.

Fly fishing usually involves lots of gear, which can end up getting wet, dirty and smelly. It's probably not the kind of cargo that a Bentley Bentayga owner would want to carry around in their vehicle without taking certain precautions.

Hatchbacks aren't very popular in China, so BMW has created a saloon version of the 1 Series especially for that market.

It remains to be seen what impact the current political unrest in Turkey will have on the country's motor industry. If there's disruption, the new Mégane Grand Coupé – which is being built at the Oyak-Renault plant in Bursa – is one model that could be affected.

Ford has created its ninth unique aviation-themed Mustang. This latest iteration is a tribute to a North American P-51D Mustang named 'Ole Yeller', which has been a regular sight at air shows and the Reno National Championship Air Races for many years.

Golf carts exist because some people are too lazy to walk a course's eighteen holes. Quite a few of them probably drive a Mercedes-Benz , so it seems appropriate that their favourite car brand has collaborated with Garia to develop a vehicle for the fairways.

Gulf Oil racing colours have never really been associated with Lotus, but that hasn't prevented the pale blue and orange scheme from winning a recent online poll that canvassed the marque's followers. In fact, it attracted almost a quarter of all votes cast, comfortably beating the second-placed JPS-inspired black and gold design.

Too often manufacturers go down the hackneyed route of producing black-themed special models when a few extra sales are needed. So kudos to Toyota for deciding to introduce the Yaris Orange Edition instead.

Kymco's UK dealers will soon have another scooter to sell. The People GT 300i ABS, which arrives next month, is being aimed primarily at commuters.

June saw 2,051 fewer new cars registered in the UK compared to the same month last year. Sensibly, that reduction is being described as 'market stabilisation' by the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.

Isuzu's latest pick-up should be ideal for anybody planning (or, probably more accurately, fantasising about) a trip across frozen tundra.

Only thirty examples of the new Grand Cherokee SRT Night are being offered in the UK, making it a proper limited edition. There aren't many exclusive features, though.

BMW Motorrad has announced some updates for its F 700 GS, F 800 GS and F 800 GS Adventure enduro bikes.

Hyundai is capitalising on its deal to supply Sir Bradley Wiggins' cycling team with support vehicles by launching a special Santa Fe.

(RED) is an organisation that tackles AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria through contributions to The Global Fund. Income is generated by selling (RED)-branded products, which are developed with partner companies. Piaggio Group, as the latest such collaborator, has just launched a special scooter.

Following the Alaskan Concept's appearance last September, Renault has revealed the production version of its new one-tonne truck.
