BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo is the world’s fastest diesel car

BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo (pictured) is the world’s fastest diesel car Alpina take BMW’s already very good cars and take them to another level. Just like the new BMW ALPINA D3 Bi-Turbo. The Alpina D3 is Alpina’s take on the BMW 3 Series and Touring, and is a distinct step up from the BMW 335d, with more performance, more luxury and yet some very good performance and BIK stats.

New VW Golf R Mk 7 costs from £29,900 in the UK

The new VW Golf R (pictured) costs from £29,900 The best of the MK 7 Golfs – the new Golf R – arrived back in August ahead of its debut at the Frankfurt Motor Show, with Volkswagen telling us it would go on sale in early 2014. But it’s actually on sale now, a few weeks early. At £29,900 (for the 3-door with 6-speed manual), the Golf R is a sensible price ( at least in comparison to VW’s truly silly price for the MK 6 Golf R Cabrio – which they subsequently dropped by more than £5k) and undercuts the similar Audi S3.

Classic style for road-ready Beetle Dune

A VERY special Volkswagen Beetle has hit the coastal roads of northern Germany, and it might just arrive in showrooms soon, too. The new Beetle Dune concept captures a little of the spirit of the classic version, with 50mm of extra ride height, big, bold wheels and a rear-mounted ski rack. It looks stunning on the move, where its broad-spoked 19-inch wheels look almost like solid discs of polished metal and the ski rack has the visual effect of an old-school Porsche 911-esque spoiler.
