Building on the success...

Building on the success of the last- generation S4, the new RS recreates the legend of past models and is powered by a hi-tech evolution of Audi"s 4.2-litre petrol V8. New pistons, cylinder heads and a special crank-shaft boost performance massively.



Exclusive spy shots...

Exclusive spy shots in this week"s mag reveal the new hatchback"s more radical rear end. The high tailgate and narrow light clusters on the edge of the boot give it a chunky look and an enormous luggage area. There will also be more room for passengers in the back compared to the outgoing Laguna.

If you need more space...

If you need more space for your holiday luggage, but donò€™t have room to store a roof box when itò€™s not in use, the HandiHoldall is the answer. It works with the HandiRack system to provide masses of capacity, yet folds into a package thatò€™s small enough to be kept in the boot.

Adding to the visual...

Adding to the visual fun are asymmetric doors - an electric clamshell on the passenger side and a tailgate with three openings to aid access at the rear

 This startling MPV is Ford"s Airstream - a crossover which is inspired by the silver trailer caravansof the same name, made famous by Hollywood road movies.

Unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show, it has been designed in partnership with Airstream - but although the fuselage-style looks are retro, the technology isn"t. Underneath the chrome body lies a new hydrogen hybrid fuel cell system which operates under electric power at all times, and costs and weighs half as much as current units.

The Airstream gives an idea of how a future Ford people carrier could look - and with orange-trimmed windows, it would certainly stand out. Adding to the visual fun are asymmetric doors - an electric clamshell on the passenger side and a tailgate with three openings to aid access at the rear.

Inside, it"s just as wacky, with a floating instrument panel featuring touch-sensitive controls. There are also swivelling pod-shaped chairs, plus a wrap-around red leather bench, allowing passengers to lie back and watch a 360-degree DVD screen.

Development of the fuel cell is progressing rapidly. Currently, the plug-in system is being tested on the road in a prototype Ford Edge - a US-only SUV.
