LA Motor Show: Long-wheelbase Range Rover confirmed

A LONG-WHEELBASE Range Rover has been showcased at the Los Angeles Auto Show. Decked out in exclusive Autobiography Black specification, the LWB Range Rover has 7.3 inches more legroom for rear passengers, along with back seats that now recline by 17 degrees compared to the standard version’s eight degrees. It will be sold in the UK, but it’s expected that the main markets for the new ultra-high-end model will be the USA and China.

Jaguar XF Black Pack revealed

The Jaguar XF Black Pack can be added to the XFR and XF Diesel S The Jaguar XF has been a huge success for Jaguar, selling more recently in the UK than the comparable BMWs and Mercedes. And justifiably so, it’s a very good car. And not just as the Jaguar XFR either (which tends to be our default setting – the most powerful V8 you can squeeze under the bonnet) which offers more aggresive looks and enormous power, but in more lowly models too.

MINI John Cooper Works Range gets a new engine

MINI JCW range gets new engines MINI has had a play and a tweak with the 1.6 litre turbo engine in the MINI John Cooper Works Range to make it more appealing. The Geneva Motor Show this year saw the debut of the latest MINI JCW – the MINI Countryman John Cooper Works – and with it output figures we though might be arriving across the MINI JCW range. Those figures saw the output of the 1.6 litre lump in the JCW rise to 215bhp and, surprisingly, managed to come in with economy figures for the JCW Countryman that were much the same as the rest of the JCW range.
