As the teams and their mechanics worked on getting the best out of their machines, there were a few cars that were present in the pits but were not officially part of the action. We would have loved to see this R3 Lotus Exige 300RR burn the track rather than be a static display.

Straight-up, you'll still be faced with the boxy looks. No swoopy rooflines and eye-pleasing curves - just the good 'ole 3 box design. Like the Range Rover we reviewed earlier, this fine example has been face-lifted with some snazzy LED daytime running lights and more LED business in the rear. Not quite our cup of tea for a vehicle which you can drive through a flood, but driving along a posh shopping belt means plenty of attention – may it be flooded or not.

MINI Coupe Launch | Burnpavement LIVE! Post Event Report

In an exclusive close-door event held by MINI and Burnpavement LIVE! at the MINI Habitat, 50 of our readers got to see, smell, and drive the fastest and best handling MINI, the all new MINI Coupe.


The slight increase in front axle load rating compared with the MINI increases traction at the front wheels and helps to ensure that the engine power is effortlessly translated into sporty acceleration. The rear gets extra bodyshell stiffening too, which translates to a higher overall torsional rigidity of the body than the standard MINI Cooper.

MINI Launches The New Coupé

Where do you think Porsche got its money from before this? 911 Turbos? Boxsters? Nah. Well, those did contribute to Porsche’s pay cheque, but the one model that turned its financial luck around was the (cue drum roll) Cayenne – the big, luxury SUV that thinks like a sports car. How was that achieved over two successful generations? Let’s just put it this way: Moneyed drivers always like their SUVs large, comfy and with a badge they can all brag about (“Yes George, my SUV is that new one from Porsche. Have you seen it yet? Sure beats your Lex”).

With only 74 bhp on tap, this car is no GTi. But the 180 Nm of torque it musters is not bad. You do have to spin the engine with a foot-full of revs though, but at least you know it WILL go if you really need it to.

It might look similar to the sedan, but the coupé’s roof is slightly lower. Like the sedan, it has B-pillars – though we would prefer not having it, like the more expensive E-Class coupé. Other than that little niggle, it is hard to fault the C-Class coupé in the looks department. Mercedes-Benz has pulled off a bold look that isn't brash and elegant without being overly swoopy. Plus, those 18-inch AMG wheels just looks perfect!

See that black bar perched atop the Xbox 360? That is the Kinect sensor which FM4 will be using for several features. It will allow you to “walk” around a car in a virtual showroom, crouch down to look at the details, or open the doors and hood by reaching out with your hand. It also features head-tracking, which pans the in-car camera view based on where your head is pointing. The Kinect sensor also allows you to navigate the game’s menu by voice control and even play the game without having to use a controller (we didn't get to test this out but it sure sounds funny).
