| Volkswagen's new Golf ‘economy'
range, based on a new 1.6-litre common rail diesel engine and which includes a BlueMotion
variant, is now on sale. Three versions of the 1.6-litre TDI engine are available to order. The first is an entry-level 90 PS - offered in S trim only. The second has more power at 105 PS and is available in S and SE trim and the third is the 105 PS in BlueMotion guise. The 90ps models are £15,305 and £15,890 while 105ps versions begin at £16,050 and rise to £18,795. |  |
| To enhance the
performance of the already-impressive Civic Type R, MUGEN EURO will tune
Honda's 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine to
produce more power and torque, as well as developing the brakes, exhaust and
suspension. Externally, the Civic will take on an even more aggressive appearance, with a new aerodynamic package including a larger rear boot spoiler. No prices have yet been given but expect more at the German motor show this autumn. |  |
