Lotus goes Honda hybrid racing

Glen Waddington, 25 September 2008 15:46

No, it’s not a Norfolk-based competition to grow the tallest rose varieties. Lotus Engineering is developing a Honda Civic Hybrid for stage rallying and circuit racing. Yes, you read that right. Hold on! Lotus is racing a Honda hybrid? It turns out there’s a lot of untapped performance potential lurking within Honda’s petrol-electric commuter car, and Lotus has the key ...

Kia Ceed 1.4 ISG (2008) CAR review

Jesse Crosse, 24 September 2008 12:00

Kia will go electric, in a small way at least, when it introduces the Ceed with a stop-start system early in 2009. The Ceed ISG (Idle Stop and Go) will be the first of a series of new, green, technologies on the way from Kia which is also working on hybrids and fuel cell cars. How does this Kia Ceed ...

VW Golf Bluemotion 1.9 TDI 5dr CAR review

Dan Trent, 08 July 2008 11:30

Blue is the new green and Volkswagen's eco-friendly line-up continues to grow. Alongside the Polo and Passat, the Golf has now had the Bluemotion treatment – but at what price? If you want that silver sliver badge on the front, it'll cost you as much as £1290 over the price of a comparable regular TDI Golf. Order a five-door Golf ...

Fiat Bravo 1.6 16v Multijet Dynamic Eco CAR review

By Jesse Crosse, 29 May 2008 09:56

Establishing whether or not a car is fun to drive is entirely subjective and what some might find an absolute blast, others may think is dull as ditch water. So the boys and girls at Fiat Powertrain have come up with what they call the ‘fun to drive index.’ The idea is to turn drivers’ perceptions into numbers and so ...

Ford Focus Econetic driven

Glen Waddington, 30 April 2008 12:44

Ford’s gone green with the Focus Econetic, so you can put that order for a Toyota Prius on hold. Stick a pair of sill extensions and narrow tyres on a Focus, lower it, and you get a drag factor of 0.31 and a class-leading carbon output of 115g/km. It even comes with a natty little Econetic badge on the bootlid, ...

Lotus Low CO2 car: first ride

Ben Pulman, 18 March 2008 08:30

Lotus is a name you associate with sports cars from Norfolk. And in our eco-conscious times the light weight of the Elise et al makes Hethel's cars an increasingly environmentally friendly proposition for the sporting driver. But what about the rest of us who need to transport a family of four, or can’t afford a lithe little Elise? Lotus Engineering, ...

Honda Civic IMA

Anonymous, 27 June 2007 12:44

The poor man’s Prius? The Civic IMA is certainly cheaper than the better-known Prius, starting from £16,300 to the Toyota’s £17,765. Its propulsion principle is the same; IMA stands for Integrated Motor Assist. Both cars are petrol-electric hybrids and use batteries to store the energy that would otherwise be lost during braking. That energy is then sent to an electric ...
