  The 1990 Lamborghini LM002 (€80,000–120,000) is an amazing car - built to cross deserts, and yet powered by a Countach engine, it's one of the wildest off-roaders ever made. With just 301 examples built, it is now highly sought after - although not recommended for short journeys or city-bound owners.

  Five Grand Friday: Skoda Octavia vRS 7 Aug 2015 (News)
  The TFSI engine isn't terribly thirsty - it will return 37.7mpg according to the official figures at least. With this kind of car you'll want to run it on a premium fuel like Shell V-Power Nitro+ which should help retain the vRS performance and aid fuel economy too. We think this generation Octavia still looks good, especially the more angular pre-facelift version that this is.

  Honest John's Motoring Agony Column 27-6-2015 27 Jun 2015 (News)
  Refusing your request is a criminal offence.   All torque I am looking for a powerful petrol car. Probably in the Golf/Focus size range, but without the usual big wheels, lowered suspension, GT badges, etc. that go with a larger engine. I will be using the extra engine power for easy, comfortable, relatively low speed driving in hill country, rather than winning the traffic lights grand prix.

When battery charge runs low, the car’s full hybrid system – which includes a highly efficient 1.8-litre petrol engine – takes over, so the driver doesn’t have to worry about whether the car has enough power to reach its destination.

  Michelin Launches Two New High Performance Winter Tyres 29 Feb 2012 (News)
  You could still flick it about a bit. But as soon as you got yourself into anything approaching trouble, the ESP cut the power and the car and its tyres sorted themselves out. In tests conducted by TÜV SÜD in 2012 on 245/40 R 18 V tyres the Michelin Pilot Alpin PA4 was rated highest overall in terms of braking, traction, handling and grip when cornering on wet, icy and snow-covered surfaces compared with its main competitors.
