Porsche contests TfL CO2 claims

Rated 5 out of 55

Transport for London has been quick to deny reports that the new £25 congestion charge will actually increase CO2 emissions. Porsche had unearthed a report for the Mayor and TfL that showed a projected 182,000 tonne increase in CO2 in Greater London as a result of extra miles driven outside of the c-charge zone because of the increased toll. The ...

Mazda Taiki: the lowdown Is it just us, or has Mazda gone a bit concept car crazy in recent months? Its current design mantra of 'nagare' - or flow - has spawned the Nagare, Ryuga and Hakaze show-offs at recent motor shows. And, true to form, there will be another car in the series at the Tokyo Motor Show later ...

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 ...

So, another big lumbering Mercedes saloon then? Not a bit of it. Although the F700 might be 5.17m long – somewhere between the S-class and long-wheelbase S-class – the F700 is supposedly cleaner and more frugal than any current S-class. This is thanks to its innovative ‘Diesotto’ engine. The F700 also features a hybrid drive and suspension that reads the ...

Lotus Exige 265E (2006) CAR review

Rated 5 out of 55

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 ...

A green Koenigsegg? Surely some mistake? For those who find themselves a little underwhelmed by the 806bhp power output of the Koenigsegg CCX, check out the new CCXR. Unveiled to a stunned Geneva audience, the CCXR packs a barely believable 1018bhp and - get this - it runs on environmentally friendly E85 biofuel. 'Our engineers couldn't quite believe the figures ...

BMW Hydrogen 7 (2006) CAR review

Rated 5 out of 55

Ben Oliver, 16 November 2006 09:42

That’s not a green car. It’s a dirty great limo… Yes, it’s a long-wheelbase BMW 7-series with a 6-litre V12 engine. But it runs on liquid hydrogen as well as petrol, emitting virtually no CO2 when it’s burning H2. As hydrogen is one of nature’s most abundant elements, we’re not about to run out. And it’s a proper car: 0-60mph ...
