The secret of this British...

The secret of this British performance success lies under the scooped bonnet, where a quad-turbo 6.0-litre V10 produces 1,175bhp. Acceleration promises to be devastating - a 0-60mph figure of 2.6 seconds is claimed, with power being driven through two huge rear wheels. Using special aluminium and composite construction, the two-seater weighs in at only 1,300kg - making it much lighter than most family cars. The bodywork and engine are the work of British engineer Al Melling, whose previous efforts include the AJPV8 and straight-six units used by struggling sports car maker TVR.

PHOTO-quality pictures are laid on top of standard sat-nav maps so drivers can compare the view through the windscreen with the display at a glance. A spokesman for developer Teleatlas said: "We will add them to maps of Berlin, Barcelona and Athens soon, and London before Christmas."

Capable on motorways and B-roads, while in the urban jungle there"s nothing better

Do not underestimate the importance of the Fiat Panda - it proved the Italian marque hadn"t forgotten how to build fantastic small models. The winner of our overall Car of the Year award in 2004, it still gives buyers exactly what they need.

This is one offering that"s small yet perfectly formed. Not only does the bodywork manage to look both cute and sturdy, but it"s well designed inside. Robust, attractive and cleverly laid out with the gearlever mounted high up, from the moment you step inside, you know this car will be fun to drive.

And it doesn"t disappoint, proving capable on motorways and B-roads, while in the urban jungle there"s nothing better. Great all-round visibility, light steering, a tight turning circle, snappy gearbox and torquey engines make this a big-hearted companion that loves to be in the thick of the action.
