The add-on lamps work...

The add-on lamps work in two modes: one for cornering and the other for driving in foggy conditions. The 90mm unit - which uses powerful H7 halogen bulbs normally found in headlights - is activated by a sensor while cornering at less than 20mph or when you operate the indicators at higher speeds. The lamp illuminates up to 70 degrees left or right. Unlike its predecessor, the new system is used only on dipped headlights - the original worked solely with full beam. The latest version also features swivelling rather than fixed bulbs, so the two lamps can also be employed as foglights. When the unit is in this mode, however, cornering vision is limited to 45 degrees rather than 70.

The car is the LF-C and the firm says it"s a luxury sports coup탩 which mixes concave and convex panels to create a sculptured look. It also has an innovative folding roof which can adopt four configurations - coup탩, targa, cabriolet or speedster - at the touch of a button. Power comes from a front-mounted V8 which feeds power to the rear wheels via a six-speed sequential auto gearbox.

One of the smallest...

One of the smallest cars on the road is about to make a big impact on the UK market. A new version of Smartò€™s ForTwo emits 88g/km of CO2 ò€“ the lowest output of any production model on sale.

The CDI diesel variant of the city runabout is already offered in showrooms in Europe, but the firm has announced that it will begin building it in right-hand drive from February.

The newcomer also promises 85.6mpg fuel economy, giving a range of 670 miles between fill-ups. Its 45bhp three-cylinder common-rail engine is mated to a five-speed automatic box with manual and auto modes.

Buyers get a choice of coupé or cabrio bodystyles, although prices have yet to be revealed.
