New products to drive Porsche's sales goals

Porsche may add an entry-level sports car as part of a plan to double global sales to 200,000 units by 2018. The new four-cylinder sports car would be in addition to a small SUV and a plug-in hybrid supercar recently approved for production.

McLaren P1

McLaren has revealed the first interior images of the production-ready P1 ahead of its debut in Geneva next month.

He added they target "hard-pressed parents" dropping off their children on the school run.
