The car is based on the range-topping Design, but adds a black leather interior, heated seats, cruise control and 11-spoke 18-inch alloys. "These options would normally cost ÷£1,200, but the price is actually ÷£470 less than the model on which it is based," said a spokesman.

The world"s first off-road race car will be on the Toyota stand at next week"s Geneva Motor Show. It"s called the Motor Triathlon, because it"s designed to compete on three different landscapes - in the mud, on city streets and round a traditional track. It"s powered by four in-wheel electric motors, which are in turn driven by a fuel cell. The MT, which was designed in Europe, is aimed at "young drivers who enjoy video games, the Internet and mobile phones", according to the firm. It features in the new computer game Gran Turismo 4.

Exclusive spy images in this week"s mag reaveal BMW"s new M3 Convertible. Due on sale early in 2008, it"s a drop-top version of the forthcoming M3 Coupé, and has a muscular look and searing pace from a 400bhp 4.0-litre V8.

The roof is divided into three sec÷­tions. That"s because the open-air M3 gets the same folding metal hood as the recently revealed 3-Series Convertible.

Not only does the newcomer feature a more coupé-like shape, but as the top is made from lightweight steel, it will also be a significant improvement over the previous canvas-roofed model, with greater refinement, security and rigidity.

A 0-60mph sprint time of less than five seconds is expected, with the top speed limited to 155mph. Six-ratio manual and SMG semi-automatic transmissions will be available, with a twin-clutch VW DSG-style sequential box likely to arrive later. The M3 Convertible will be priced at around ÷£42,000.
