Ferrari joins the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee Pageant

Ferrari joins the Queen's Diamond Jubilee Pageant Ferrari joins the Diamond Jubilee Pageant at Windsor castle and are bringing the 4th Mounted Carabinieri Regiment with them. With all things Diamond Jubilee filling the social scene (at least this side of London 2012) for the summer, even car makers are getting in on the act. We’ve already had Bentley deliver a Diamond jubilee Mulsanne as their version of a commemorative tea towel, and now Ferrari is chucking its hat in the Diamond Jubilee ring.

New Peugeot 208 engine options confirmed

2012 Peugeot 208 Engines Confirmed The engine line-up for the new 2012 Peugeot 208 has been confirmed for the UK with a choice of five diesel and five petrol engines. It’s been a couple of months since the 2012 Peugeot 208 was revealed, but Peugeot has finally confirmed the extensive engine line-up for the 2012 208, and unsurprisingly the focus is on economy and emissions, with four of the diesel engines available hitting the increasingly uncredible 99g/km, and the smallest petrol engine managing the same feat. The 68bhp 1.4 litre diesel manages to be very frugal when it comes to emissions – especially with stop-start fitted – with emissions of just 87g/km and an average of 83.1mpg.

The UK's Department for Transport today claimed that hundreds of lives could be saved every year if all new cars had stability control fitted - totalling 4000 lives across Europe. A campaign to raise awareness of the potential benefits of ESC was launched last month in Rome by European commissioners and FIA president Max Mosley.
