Rated 4 out of 5

Simon Stiel, 25 November 2008 15:26

One of the major drawbacks of electric cars is the lack of national recharging networks.

Fiat Panda Aria and Grande Punto Abarth SS

Rated 0 out of 5

Guy Bird, 17 September 2007 02:50

Aria goes green, Abarth gets sporty, 500 goes large… Fiat’s signature white stand featured both ends of the car spectrum: From the eco Panda Aria concept to a new even sportier version of the Grande Punto, the Abarth SS prototype. It arguably had the best show stand gimmick at Frankfurt too – a giant Fiat 500 model the size of ...

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive

Rated 3 out of 5

Ben Barry, 12 September 2007 07:28

Seat Ibiza Ecomotive: the lowdown Even the Spanish went green at Frankfurt. Using the Polo BlueMotion’s 1.4-litre TDi engine, longer gear ratios and Dunlop tyres that generate less friction, the Ibiza Ecomotive will deliver 74.3mpg and emit just 99g/km CO2, meaning it is tax exempt and, should Ken Livingstone’s recent proposals be approved, get into London’s Congestion Charge zone for ...

Ben Pulman, 31 August 2007 10:55

The Concept-CX looks like a Lancer supermini? Close, but no cigar. This is Mitsubishi’s Concept-CX and it shares the frontal styling (which the company describes as ‘a tight and powerful wedge’) and twin-clutch gearbox with the forthcoming Lancer Evo X. What the hot Lancer won’t get will be the company’s new 1.8-litre diesel engine that's in the cX. Due to ...

Ferrari Mille Chili

Rated 3.5 out of 5

Ben Oliver, 21 June 2007 05:51

The Mille Chili? So this is Ferrari’s green supercar… Yes. Officially it has no name, but internally it’s called the Mille Chili (thousand kilos) and it’s arguably the most important concept car Ferrari has ever shown. Don’t be fooled by its shrunken-Enzo appearance. In revealing the car today at its Fiorano test track, Ferrari has lifted the lid on a ...

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi CAR review

Rated 3 out of 5

VW Polo Bluemotion 1.4 TDi CAR review, 03 June 2007 02:35

If 4Motion means four-wheel drive, what’s this Bluemotion all about? Nothing to do with four-wheel drive - or going fast. It’s Volkswagen’s ecological brand applied to the most efficient and economical models in each range, so probably should have been called Greenmotion. A Passat Bluemotion was unveiled at the Geneva show and other versions will follow. So how green, sorry, ...
