Jaguar XJ facelift (2007) first news and photos

By Ben Barry First Official Pictures 08 March 2007 12:31 The supercharged XKR might have only recently pounced from the starting blocks, but Jaguar has already announced a special edition at Geneva - the XKR Portfolio. While mechanical specifications are almost entirely as per the original model, the Portfolio boasts unique Celestial Black paint, upgraded interior trim and a Bowers and Wilkins stereo system. Power remains unchanged at 420bhp.

World’s fastest motorbike is electric

THE FASTEST motorcycle in the world that you can ride on the road is now a battery-powered machine from Lightning. Built in the USA, the Lightning LS-218 has a top speed of 218mph and is based on the company’s racing motorbike. An electric motor that produces 200bhp powers the LS-218 and offers maximum power from almost tickover all the way to the motor’s 10,500rpm limit.

Porsche Macan caught on video

The Porsche Macan – a Porsche Cayenne on a boil wash – has been spied out testing and caught on video. We’ve seen spy photos of the Porsche Macan before – Porsche’s take on the Audi Q5 – and they look more like a cut down Cayenne being used as a mule for the Macan’s underpinnings than an actual Macan. But it seems that the shots so far are actually the Macan as it’s heading for production, which means Porsche has, perhaps unsurprisingly, chosen the 911 school of car design as its inspiration for the Macan and just stuck a Cayenne on a boil wash.
