Autoesque

The Brabus 850 6.0 Biturbo package, which is now available in estate form, is all about remarkable numbers.

Manufacturer initiatives such as BMW’s M Performance range of aftermarket parts could explain why certain segments of the modified car industry are struggling right now. The latest model to be added to the programme is the just-launched 2 Series Coupé.

Next year’s Dunlop MSA British Touring Car Championship is going to see a couple of estate cars on the grid.

To mark the arrival of its Corvette Stingray convertible, Chevrolet has unveiled a distinctive Premiere Edition.

BMW has introduced a special version of its V8-powered X6 M. Called the Design Edition, production is being limited to just 100 units.

Volvo’s steady nurturing of Polestar as a performance sub-brand continues. The latest model to receive the treatment is the V60 estate, which is instantly recognisable by its larger front splitter, 20” alloy wheels, tailgate spoiler and rear diffuser.

To celebrate the opening of DS World Paris later this month, Citroën has created an exclusive version of its DS3 hatchback.

Honda has revealed its fourth-generation City saloon, which will eventually be offered in 60 territories across Asia.

The Premier Limited Edition has been created by Nissan to support the launch of its brand new Qashqai .

Those people who were aghast when Porsche first entered the SUV segment with the Cayenne aren’t going to like the smaller Macan. However, the new arrival will probably fly out of showrooms, even if a planned production volume of 50,000 units per year could harm Porsche’s exclusivity.

The idiosyncratic Morgan 3 Wheeler is receiving a comprehensive upgrade package for 2014.

Honda has announced a few updates for its CB1100, including the introduction of an EX version. That news might come as a surprise to some, as the retro-styled naked bike was only launched in Europe earlier this year.

Some people might think Nürburgring lap times are becoming hackneyed as a performance benchmark, but the Nordschleife remains a harsh test of a car’s suspension, brakes and engine. That the GT-R Nismo (fitted with track options) can get around the circuit in 7:08.679 - a volume production car record according to Nissan - is strong testament to the new arrival’s abilities.
