Infiniti M30d Diesel UK Price & Specs

The Infiniti M30d gets priced and specced for the UK It took Infiniti a while to get a diesel lump together for their European models – without which they didn’t have much hope of making any impact in Europe at all – but they got there and we’ve already seen the Infiniti 3.0 litre diesel lump in the SUV Crossovers – the Infiniti EX30d and the Infiniti FX30d – where we got UK prices and specs back in May. Now it’s the turn of the Infiniti M to get priced and specced with full details being released for the Infiniti M30d. There may just be one diesel engine, but Infiniti has managed to come up with a total of five trim options – M30d, M30d GT, M30d S, M30d GT Premium and M30d S Premium – with prices starting out at £36,750 for the entry level and rising to £46,600 for the M30d S Premium.

McLaren P1 production starts in Woking

McLaren P1 production starts in Woking The Geneva Motor Show in March saw the arrival of the first production version of the new McLaren P1 (and its arch-rival, the LaFerrari). But it’s taken until now – seven months later – for McLaren to finish final testing of the P1 before pressing the button on their clinical assembly line to start customer P1s rolling out. In between the reveal at Geneva and production starting, McLaren have been having a bash at the Nurburgring (with mixed results) and doing some final hot weather testing on the P1, but now – apart from a few inevitable tweaks once the P1 gets out in to the real world – the P1 is ready for its customers.
