Jethro Bovingdon, 17 March 2011 13:00

In the April 2011 issue of CAR – out now – we’ve joined Bentley on the hazardous frozen waters of the Baltic Sea to watch Juha Kankkunen set a new world speed record on ice. Kankkunen’s vehicle of choice was a Bentley Supersports Convertible: the twin-turbo 6.0-litre W12 boasts 621bhp to power it to a 205.48mph record, and the air ...

Now, what on earth, or for that matter not from earth have we got here? It's the Mercedes Biome concept supercar. It's a product of Merc's Los Angeles design studio, and they prefer to describe it as an 'Ultralight vehicle at one with nature.'

Volkswagen is launching what it believes is the world’s most eco-friendly one-make race series. But rather than a bunch of electric-powered Up! superminis, the grid will be made up of 220bhp natural gas-guzzling Sciroccos. And just how will these VW Scirocco Cups stake their claim as the most eco-friendly one-make championship in the world? The engine (of course) is key. The ...

Tim Pollard, 28 January 2009 00:01

Can Bentleys ever be green? Bentley today released this single photo of a biofuel-powered new model that is designed to convince us that Crewe’s cars can survive in these carbon-crunched times. Very few details have been released – not even a name for this shadow-shrouded first image – but the car appears to be based on the Continental family, judging ...

Do biofuels still have a place in 2009?

4.5

Sarah-Jayne Harrison, 07 January 2009 14:27

I recently spent time with Saab’s bioethanol experts – and it got me thinking. Are they heading down a dead-end with their E85-fuelled vehicles? Or are they right to persist with biofuels, even if public perception swung dramatically in 2008? They certainly don’t sell many in the UK. Since 2006, Saab Biopower cars make up less than half of one ...

Pininfarina B0 at the Paris motor show 2008

Guy bird, 08 October 2008 11:18

The Pininfarina B0 (that's ‘B-zero’, not body odour) was one of the hidden gems of the 2008 Paris motor show. The full electric vehicle is arguably the first EV you’d actually want to buy for its design. By late 2009 you will be able to – almost unchanged from this show car – for circa £18,000, with plans for mass ...

Saab at the Paris motor show 2008

4.5

Guy Bird, 02 October 2008 23:02

On one level, the Saab 9-X Air is a re-work of the Geneva show’s 9-X BioHybrid with its roof chopped off. But get up close and you’ll find it’s one hell of a smart hatchet job. Tell me more about the Saab 9-X Air We admire the packaging. If you’ve ever had a soft-top you’ll know that most have very ...
