Abarth has revealed yet another hot Fiat 500 derivative - the new 595 Pista. It’s a better-value, better-equipped version of the 595 Turismo automatic, introducing a range of previously optional performance and cosmetic upgrades as standard. Prices start from £19,135, representing a £1,060 saving over the equivalent Turismo.

Tesla is currently developing a hotter, three-motor electric drivetrain for the Model S, in a bid to keep its saloon competitive with the recently launched Porsche Taycan. The firm’s CEO, Elon Musk, announced on Twitter that the new powertrain will go on sale next year, priced “less than its competitors.”

It'd be somewhat crass to suggest the only reason Mercedes has added a trio of plug-in hybrid versions to its small car range is to help it meet upcoming and ever-stringent emissions legislation. 

This is no ordinary mid-life facelift. Instead of sticking to the usual visual enhancements, Land Rover has gone back to the drawing board and given its five-year-old Discovery Sport a completely new platform, new engines and new fuel saving tech.

Jaguar looks set to launch a revised version of its mid-size F-Pace SUV, with a minor cosmetic overhaul, a new hybrid engine and a substantial interior technology update. The new model will go on sale in the UK next year, with prices starting from around £38,000.

This is the new Porsche 911 Carrera 4: an entry-level version of the four-wheel drive 911, which mates the Carrera 4S’s drivetrain with the Carrera’s flat-six engine. Prices start from £88,101 for the Coupe and £97,746 for the Cabriolet.
