Pagani got the world hacking up phlegm with the release of its impossible-to-pronounce Huayra V12 hypercar. Volkswagen tantalised eco-fans with the remarkably production ready XL1 plug-in diesel hybrid. Toyota teased, again, the universe’s most teased car, their FT-86 coupe – but said very little about it. And Ferrari released a few more pictures of their four seat chest-wig express, the FF.
Ferrari revealed their first four wheel drive car, the ‘FF’ – it’s got four seats, a 450 litre boot, a 650bhp V12 and looks nothing like a Z3 M Coupe. Caterham unveiled their SP/300.R race car, which goes on sale in 2012. The SMMT announced UK car production rose by 27.1% in 2010. And Murray’s T.27 passed its EU crash test.
Pagani released teaser videos for their unpronounceable Huayra hypercar. Vauxhall tried to distract us from their ASA TV ad wrist slapping by announcing that their Lifetime Warranty applies to used cars as well as new ones. Ford unveiled a 3-4 hour charge, 100-mile range, 84mph electric Focus, on sale in 2013. And three Renault bosses were accused of industrial espionage.
