HOT on the heels of the launch of its breathtaking XJ220, champagne corks are again popping at Jaguar as the company c e leb r a t e s its 70th


anniversary. It was in September 1922, in modest prem­


ises at Bloomfield Road, Blackpool, that W il­ liam Lyons formed the Swallow Sidecar Com­ pany — the firm that would, over the next seven decades, grow from being a lin y pro-


Sporty newcomer from Honda


H O N D A unveils its new sp o ils car, the C R X V T i. at the B ritish Motor Show at the N E C .


The new C R X sports convertible is a two-seater with a unique removable roof design, which gives open-top driving and a level of security and protection unavailable in any soft top model.


Honda decided from the outset that the C R X should he open-lopped, hut refused to accept a compromised design that was awkward in opera­ tion and usable onlv on simnv (lavs. So the C R X now boasts a rcvoliitinnnrv


detachable hardtop — a removable roof panel which stows safely in the hoot. The rear window is electrically operated, sliding down to disappear from view and further enhance the driving experience without buffeting.


Wind noise is muled thanks in part to sp e c ia lly designed door m ir ro rs , which deflect a ir around the cockpit.


According to Honda, the C R X is fast and fun to drive, with a choice of l.(>- hlre VTI5C engines giving it effort­ less performance with a handling package to match.

T H IS month sees the launch of BMW ’s new eight-cylinder engines for its 7-series range.


Producing more power


and torque, but lower emissions and fuel consumption, the new engines were designed to meet the wishes of 735i owners who expressed the desire for an eight-cyclinder car. This brace of eights will

A L SO debuting at this year’s Paris motor show is a new concept car from Renault — the electrically-powered Zoom.


Designed to take the strain out of parking in


town, the Zoom has a variable wheelbase. The two-seater car,


which has been developed in conjunction with Matra, aims to re-draw the parameters of car design for the 21st century, providing pointers to the future of tiie small city car.


The Zoom’s electric


engine will run for 95 miles at speeds of up to 75 mph on a single charge. It can then be fully recharged overnight, or get an 80% recharge in


jus t two hours. And as well as its zero pollution power source —

are only subtle clues that these are new cars. A t the front, the traditional BMW kidney grille and bonnet scallops are wider, as on the 12-cylinder 750i


and 750iL models. A t the rear, only the badging and


the different diameter exhaust pipes will reveal the car’s true identity. The range now starts


with the 188 blip' six-cylinder 730i and 730i S E , through the new 730i,


. 7J0i and 7'10iL, and is crowned by the 12-cylinder, 300 blip 750i and iL . Ju s t as more cylinders


make a smoother engine, the new car benefits from more gear ratios with a five-speed electro-hydraulic automatic gearbox. The


gearbox continuously “ talks” to the engine management system to . ensure smooth changes, and the extra gear gives a better spread of ratios for improved fuel economy and faster mid-range acceleration. The new engines are


designed to be as environmentally-friendly as possible. Emission levels are low enough to meet all expected regulations anywhere in the world and the unit is itse lf 97% recyclable.

To ease the [larking


problems associated with dense urban traffic, the Zoom’s wheelbase can be shortened by (iOcm, giving


it an overall length of just 2.1 metres. Other intriguing design


features include gull-wing doors, an in-car navigation system and a tyre-pressure warning system, while impact absorbing bumpers,twin crumple zones and three-point safety belts are evidence of the high

Aimed primarily at

journeys, shopping and leisure trips where [larking space is at a premium.
