Toyota condemns the Electric Car

Electric cars - like the Reva NXG - are not a viable mass-market option. Toyota’s head of R&D in Europe – Masato Katsumata – said in a speech that the electric vehicle won’t be a mass-market phenomenon, and that the future – at least in the coming decades – will be petrol engine hybrids. “We don’t see any short-term breakthrough in battery technology” he said.

Kia Pro_Cee’d GT Turbo teased

The Kia Pro Cee’d GT – complete with the 1.6 litre petrol turbo from the Veloster with 200bhp – is being teased by Kia. We reported last month that Kia are planning to put the 200bhp, 1.6 litre Turbo from the Hyundai Veloster in to the new Pro_cee’d three door to create a hot little coupe, and now Kia has caught up with that news with the first tease for the Pro_cee’d GT. It’s probably best to take the teaser photo of the Pro_cee’d GT with a pinch of salt – it’s a typically extreme rendering of the car we’ll actually get – but it does demonstrate that Kia want to differentiate the Pro_cee’d GT from the more prosaic models.

2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo facelift revealed

2015 Nissan 370Z Nismo facelift revealed It’s only a year or so since the new Nissan 370Z Nismo arrived in the UK, but Nissan is already rolling out a new and improved version. The cosmetic tweaks are the usual fodder of a new front bumper – which takes its cues from the GT-R – new LED running lights, red highlights for the vents, new side sills and door mirrors and a smaller spoiler than before. On the inside, the changes amount to red and black leather, Alcantara and a new set of Recaros.
