Renault Twin’Run gets 316bhp & pays homage to the Renault 5 Turbo

The Twin’Run is an extreme version of the next Twingo and manages to pay homage to the old Renault 5, with a thumping great V6 bolted in the middle and pumping out 316bhp and 280lb/ft of torque, enough to get to 62mph in 4.5 seconds and on to 155mph. The Nissan-sourced V6 gets mated to a SADEV six-speed sequential gearbox and comes with a limited slip diff to stop the tyres burning off when the going gets brisk. As well as endowing the Twin’Run with lots of power, Renault has also kept weight down to 950kg by using a tubular chassis, glass-polyester composite for the bodywork, lumps of carbon fibre and not a hugely laden interior.

New Lexus GS F Sport (2012) revealed

Lexus GS F Sport (2012) revealed ahead of SEMA debut Is middle age taking over or are Lexus cars getting better looking? Because the new Lexus GS F Sport, just revealed ahead of its SEMA debut, is really rather appealing. Already much sharper looking in its latest iteration, the Lexus GS almost turns back in to the LF-Gh Concept - which heralded the arrival of the 2012 Lexus GS – with the F Sport bits tagged on.

Ford C-Max & Grand-C-Max (2011) – UK prices

UK price and specs for the Ford C-Max & Grand C-Max Prices We never fail to be surprised by how long it can take from the reveal of a new car until that car starts to hit showrooms. In the case of the 2011 Ford C-Max and the 2011 Ford Grand C-Max it is almost exactly a year since Ford unwrapped what will be the first Ford to use the Global C-Segment platform – which will also underpin the 2011 Ford Focus and the next generation Ford Kuga – at the Frankfurt Motor Show. Having finally got the C-Max to the UK, we’re pleased to see that instead of foisting endless trim specifications levels on to buyers Ford has decied to keep it simple with just two options on the C-Max and the Grand C-Max – either Zetec or Titanium.
