And the Porsche Cayenne...

And the Porsche Cayenne had better watch out, because the snappily named Spyker C12 Peking to Paris is set to become a production reality. As our exclusive picture shows, the off-road model retains the firm"s distinctive gaping grille. Also note the double air intakes on each flank, confirming the rear-engine format. Discreet back doors provide access to the second row of chairs, making this a proper four-seater. The C12 bears a strong resemblance to the C8 Spyder, which marked the 100-year-old company"s car-building comeback in 2000.

The people carrier line-up...

The people carrier line-up now starts with the Team model, powered by a 138bhp 2.0-litre petrol engine, which is priced at чЈ18,595 - that"s чЈ1,200 less than the Authenч­tique version it replaces. The base model comes with dual-zone air-conditioning, a CD radio and heated door mirrors as standard.
