Sat-nav could soon save your life – that’s according to Nissan. The Japanese car maker has just revealed its fourth-generation Advanced Safety Vehicle (ASV). The firm has fitted the newcomer with a hi-tech development of its standard on-board navigation system. By communicating with similarly equipped vehicles, it can warn of other drivers who are about to pull out of unsighted roads. The company claims that serious accidents could be reduced by 60 per cent if the gadgets in the ASV make production.

While Auto Express"s spy snapper captured pictures of Bentley"s beautiful new Continental GTC testing with its roof down in southern France, Citroen has borrowed one of the British firm"s famous names and launched the C3 Pluriel Côte d"Azur.
Bentley"s four-seater Continental GTC has already been shown at the New York Motor Show, but this is the first time the newcomer has been seen on public roads with the roof down. The 190mph convertible will join the coupé version at the end of the year, priced from ÷£130,500.
If that is outside your budget, then Citroen"s ÷£11,245 special-edition Pluriel might be more realistic. A blue gearknob, multi-coloured seats and a leather-trimmed steering wheel set the new model apart inside, while aluminium rubbing strips and metallic paint come as standard outside. The Côte d"Azur is available only with a 1.4-litre petrol engine.
