Renault has unveiled the Renaultsport R.S. 01 racing car at the Moscow Motor Show. Based on a carbon fibre monocoque chassis built by Dallara, it'll be used in next year's inaugural Renaultsport Trophy championship.
Fittingly, the Moscow International Motor Show was the event chosen by Opel for the unveiling of its Mokka Moscow Edition. Although billed as a concept, the city-themed sub-compact SUV is really just a cosmetic exercise.
Last week's official reveal of the 2015 Å koda Fabia didn't include any interior shots. However, that situation has now been partly resolved with the publication of a single dashboard image.
Ram is claiming a best-in-class payload capability for its updated range of Heavy Duty pick-ups, as the 3500 model can now carry up to 3,352 kg (7,390 lbs).
Taking a lead from some of its premium rivals, Infiniti has created a long-wheelbase version of the Q50 sports saloon especially for China. The Q50L, which will be both built and marketed only in that country, gains a 48 mm (1.9”) wheelbase stretch for the benefit of rear seat passengers.
Last week National Electric Vehicle Sweden, the current owner of Saab, released a statement denying that the company is insolvent. The move was obviously a response to an earlier bankruptcy petition against NEVS by a supplier, which has since been withdrawn.
Seat is adding a special i-TECH trim grade to its Mii, Ibiza, Toledo, Altea and Alhambra ranges. The recipe is a familiar one: offer a useful specification upgrade which, when compared to ordering each item separately, represents a saving for customers.
UK prices for the third-generation Twingo are going to start from less than £9,500 when sales begin this September. How that compares to the new Smart forfour is still unknown, but it's an important benchmark because both models share the same underpinnings and they'll be built at the same factory in Slovenia.
Purchasing a P1 GTR won’t simply be a case of handing over some cash and getting a set of keys in return. The cars, which are intended purely for track use, are going to be run and maintained by McLaren’s Special Operations department. Perhaps just as importantly, owners will receive aftersales care too via a bespoke driver training programme.
