The Re emerging of Nissan Z Proto

 

Nissan Zpro

Purity of form

The Nissan Z Proto combines classic sports car proportions of a long hood and a short rear deck. Combined with iconic Z styling elements, it creates a unique design that is completely modern, yet immediately identifiable as a Nissan Z.

Aston Martin DBX prototype drive

► New DBX unveiled on 17 Nov 2019, on sale in April
► First impressions of Urus rival
In March this year, Aston Martin will start deliveries of the DBX, its first SUV. The £158,000 off-roader represents a new market, an all-new platform, and a new production facility too; the DBX will be produced at St Athan in Wales, not Gaydon.
No Aston has ever had to achieve more: not only accelerate 2245kg (more than Lamborghini Urus, less than Bentayga) from 0-62mph in around 4.5 seconds and top 180mph, but corner enthusiastically, grip securely, ride smoothly, encourage easy conversation at high autobahn speeds,

New Toyota Supra: four-cylinder not coming to UK

► New A90 Toyota Supra coupe
► Straight-six and four-cyl versions
► Priced from £52,695 in the UK
Toyota has revealed a new engine for the Supra range in European markets. In selected countries a new 2.0-litre four-cylinder turbo will sit underneath the flagship 3.0-litre inline-six turbo, giving buyers a less powerful, but arguably nimbler choice. Production of Supras with the new engine will begin shortly, with sales expected to start in March 2020. However, CAR understands there are no plans for it to come ot the UK.
The new block uses a twin-scroll turbocharger coupled to an eight-speed, ZF 'box and isn't exactly feeble: it still puts out 251bhp and 195lb ft, with 0-62mph taking just 5.2 seconds.
Engineers have managed to achieve an equal weight balance between front and rear, and say a 100kg saving could mean the car is even better through the tricky stuff. There doesn't look to be any exterior differences though.

Porsche Cayenne GT spied: Urus slayer ahoy!

Last year we revealed exclusive pictures of a forthcoming, superheated Cayenne GT Coupe, and now we’ve got more pictures of Porsche’s performance SUV. But unlike last time, where we caught the car stationary, this time our spy photographers have snapped the Coupe in action. And because of the cold conditions, it’s even easier to pinpoint its unusual centre-mounted exhausts.

For more information on what could be the hottest Cayenne Coupe of them all, keep reading.

McLaren GT vs Ferrari Portofino vs Honda NSX triple comparison test (2020) review

If, in the '60s, you needed to drive far, fast and in style, you reached for your Ferrari Daytona, the definitive GT. But, now, the GT has many faces.
Pre-flight briefing: McLaren GT

Why is it here?
McLaren's first ever grand tourer, built on the same mid-engined foundations as any other McLaren. Can a convincingly luxury GT experience really be born of sports car ingredients?
Any clever stuff?
The familiar carbon tub evolves with an upper 'Touring' rear structure. Together with a slightly lower engine, it's key to the 420-litre rear load area. The 4.0-litre V8 gets new twin turbos, and there's Proactive damping from the 720S, which learns from previous scenarios. All-new nav with real-time traffic info too.
Which version is this?
Choose Standard, Pioneer or Luxe interior. Our £10k Luxe brings memory heated seats, power-adjusted steering column, softgrain aniline leather and SuperFabric luggage bay floor.

Porsche 718 GTS 4.0 ups the cylinder count to six

Praise be! Porsche’s 718 twins, in GTS format, now come with a 4.0-litre flat-six engine, with a Porsche spokesperson confirming they replace the four-cylinder GTS version in the process.

Is this Porsche doing a U-turn on its four-cylinder 718 engine? Probably not but, at the very least, it’s a welcome return for what made previous-generation Caymans and Boxsters so good. Regular and S 718 models will still use the flat-four.
Woohoo! The flat-six is back!

It was technically back with the Cayman GT4 and Boxster Spyder, but yes! For the new GTS 4.0, a 394bhp version of Porsche’s 4.0-litre flat six has been dropped in. That’s 20bhp less than the GT4 and Spyder, but 54bhp more than the now-defunct flat-four GTS this replaces.
