Rated 4 out of 54

Nissan has fallen behind domestic rivals like Honda and Toyota in the green stakes. Both have hybrids on sale in the UK but Nissan has nothing. To match the pair Nissan has decided to make a fully electric vehicle (EV) the main pillar of its eco strategy, with plans to have an EV in production by 2010. Luckily Nissan’s had its ...

Will Honda show a roadster version of its sleek CR-Z coupe at the 2008 London motor show? This design sketch issued today confirms that 'a low-emission Honda sports car' badged OSM will be unveiled on 22 July 2008 at the Excel show centre – and it looks mightily like the petite coupe concept that Honda revealed at October 2007's Tokyo ...

Mercedes F700 concept (2008) CAR review

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Andrew Noakes, 16 June 2008 17:16

Advanced engineering wrapped in ‘aquatic’ styling made the Mercedes F700 concept car one of the stars of the Frankfurt motor show in September 2007, and CAR has been itching to put its technologies to the test ever since. Flip-over, cork-faced seats and a navigation system run by a virtual assistant called Gloria are novel enough, but we’re really here to ...

The launch of the Chevy Volt plug-in hybrid could be delayed by at least a year, GM has hinted.  It showed the latest version of the radical E-flex plug-in hybrid technology that will underpin the Volt in the Cadillac Provoq (main image), a concept car that also hinted strongly at how Caddy’s new small SUV will look. But it also ...

I see that Chrysler hasn’t picked up on the 4x4 backlash yet… Indeed, but Chrysler is working hard to prove that it’s not dead yet, and its latest offerings are three electric concept cars that will debut in Detroit at the start of 2008. And like nearly every concept these days all three are supposedly eco-friendly, with each car featuring ...

Are, in the words of Mr Numan, our friends electric? Yes, Subaru has finally realised that nearly all of its range dishes out too much carbon and decided to save the flowers. Besides inventing the world's first production boxer diesel (due out 2008), it has lifted the lid on this electric concept, the G4e. In case you were wondering, G4e ...

It looks like an electric wheelchair… you cannot be serious! Toyota is serious. Deadly serious. As traffic gets worse, so personal mobility vehicles like the i-Real start to make sense. The three-wheel i-Real is Toyota’s new take on single-seat urban commuting – call it a Segway with a seat, or a motorised trike – and it’s the follow-up from Toyota’s ...

A Volvo hybrid? Let me guess, it appeases the greens but fails to deliver in the real-world The typical hybrid this is not. Instead of having an electric motor that only works at very low speeds before a regular engine cuts in, this C30 – dubbed ReCharge Concept – can be driven on electric-only power for 62 miles which is ...

Peugeot 308 RCZ: the lowdown The Peugeot stand at Frankfurt was a timely reminder just how much the market has fragmented these days. It was packed with 27 cars in rambling hall 8 – five of which were new concept cars, albeit mostly versions of existing production cars. But there was little doubt which was most eye-catching: the 308 coupe ...

Opel Flextreme: the lowdown Vauxhall’s European sister brand Opel showed off its surprise at Frankfurt today – the new Flextreme concept car. Under that voluminous monocab body lies GM’s E-Flex plug-in hybrid system. It’s the latest trend in hybrids, allowing up to 30 miles of zero-emissions electric operation, after which the diesel engine kicks in to recharge the battery. As ...
