With a bright canopy...

With a bright canopy and matching tyres, it is the handiwork of Paris fashion house Maison de Courreges - famous for inventing the mini skirt in the Sixties and using electric vehicles in its shows. It claims the car"s success is down to its lithium polymer batteries, which are lighter, quicker to charge and less likely to overheat than standard cells.



Drivers who carry lots...

Drivers who carry lots of electrical kit in their car normally have to choose which gadget they charge up. But not any more – thanks to the new power plus 12v Multi Socket from CarPlan. It splits the cigar lighter input into three, so you can revive your phone, sat-nav and camera at the same time. All you need to worry about is not exceeding the seven amp maximum load.

The booming city car...

The booming city car market is about to get even more competitive, with Ford confirming the new Ka will undercut its main rival, the Fiat 500. Starting at ?7,995 for the entry-level 1.2-litre Studio, the city car costs ?105 less than the equivalent 500 and only ?350 more than the outgoing Ka.

There are three other trim levels available, which all come with the 1.2-litre 67bhp petrol engine. These comprise the ?8,495 Style, the ?8,995 Style + and the ?9,495 Zetec. The range-topper also comes with the option of a 74bhp 1.3-litre TDCi diesel, which hikes the price to ?10,195. Fuel economy is boosted to 67.3mpg from 45.6mpg for the oil-burner. The new Ka is set to arrive in showrooms in January.
