Volvo XC60 concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 09 October 2007 09:27

Volvo already has a couple of off-roaders. What does it need another one for? The Swedes claim that people who want to do off-roady things like driving down dirt tracks and towing horseboxes will go for its XC70 and XC90 models. The XC60 is being aimed at design-conscious townies who want an on-road vehicle with a tiny bit of off-road ...

Mitsubishi i-EV CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 05 October 2007 09:50

Just another pie-in-the-sky electric concept car, right? Wrong, for two reasons. Firstly, we’ve driven it: CAR Online is the first to get behind the wheel of the Mitsubishi i-EV. Second, Mitsubishi reckons it can have it on sale in the UK as early as next year - though 2009 seem a safer bet – for under fifteen grand. That will ...

Chrysler Nassau concept CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Anonymous, 13 August 2007 05:52

So, is this the new Chrysler 300C then? In a way, yes. The 300C gets a refresh late this year – and it’s likely to be the last for the popular and increasingly genre-defining American executive car. Replacing it won’t be easy, but the Nassau is a clear statement of intent from Chrysler. It’s based on the current 300C’s 120-inch ...

Ford Interceptor concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 23 July 2007 03:38

This Interceptor looks the business, can I buy one? It’s Ford’s take on a super-saloon rival to the Chrysler 300C SRT-8 and BMW M5 and is called the Interceptor after one of the Blue Oval’s US police cars. This new model’s been based around the mechanicals of the latest generation Ford Mustang with a slightly stretched floorpan. It's a concept ...

Ford Airstream concept CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 17 July 2007 08:32

Airstream. Isn’t that an American caravan? Indeed it is. The sort that even people who hate caravans have to admit looks quite cool. Ford decided they represented the ultimate American journey so it designed a car version and this is it. In the metal – or rather fibreglass as this is a concept car – it’s stunning. That silver paintwork ...

Ford Focus FCV CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 25 June 2007 08:25

Why am I supposed to get excited about a last-generation Focus saloon? Partly because it has a spec-sheet that reads like a Porsche 911 GT3 RS – ultra-thin lightweight glass, bespoke parts in aluminium and magnesium, carbon fibre tank; in all, 150kgs of weight saving to compensate for the extra weight of the hydrogen fuel cell powering it, which Ford ...

Lotus Exige 265E CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 June 2007 02:36

It looks like a slightly more colourful Exige - what's the story? This is the Exige 265E - the fastest ever Exige and the first bio-ethanol Lotus. The digits 265 denote the 265PS power output, or 261bhp in old money – up 46bhp over the standard car. The 'E' informs people that this car runs on ethanol, alcohol made from ...

Mazda RX-8 Hydrogen RE CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 03 June 2007 02:36

How does a hydrogen-powered RX-8 work – and no technobabble please... It's simple. The RX-8's rotary engine can run on either petrol or hydrogen, which is stored in liquid form in a second fuel tank. The engine is fitted with a second set of hydrogen injectors that are situated above the intake chamber, and the driver has a switch in ...

Honda Civic Type R Rally CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

Anonymous, 26 April 2007 04:14

What’s this – I didn't know Honda was going rallying? It’s not, well, not just yet. Let me explain. In 2005, the FIA World Council decided to create a new cost-effective rally championship for 2007, called the Intercontinental Rally Challenge. The nine-round calendar for 2007 includes some classic stages like the Sanremo and Safari rallies, as well as some more ...
