Parent company DaimlerChrysler has found that a locking ring within the steering system has not been attached properly, which could result in it failing. Only 1,650 of the 12,000 cars sold since May have been affected – and while the ForTwo isn’t in UK dealers until September, some left-hand-drive models have already found their way into Britain.

The car uses the same 256bhp 2.3-litre four-cylinder engine found in the larger 6 MPS, and will also feature that model"s sporty six-speed manual gearbox. As well as a Subaru Impreza-style bonnet scoop, the 3 MPS will get a beefy bodykit to set it apart from lesser models.

The lid has been lifted on of the most rapid Ferrari ever. This grainy image of the 430 Scuderia Spider ò€“ a drop-top version of the stripped out coupé - was spied hanging on a company execò€™s office wall during a recent interview. Boasting the same 510bhp 4.3-litre V8 engine, the open-top model will offer near-identical performance but with an even better soundtrack. Expect a Ò£200,000 price tag when it goes on sale next year.

Here"s a toy that might drive you up the wall! The Air Hogs Zero Gravity remote control micro car can suck on to just about any angle of surface, defying gravity and travelling virtually anywhere.

As you might expect, itò€™s very light, which is essential for a piece of kit thatò€™s capable of crossing walls and ceilings. As long as the surface is flat, there is no stopping the micro car.

Aim it towards an obstacle such as a light switch, though, and the toy will fall off. While the Air Hog doesnò€™t shift all that quickly in a straight line, itò€™s very agile, rotating within its own footprint so you can guide it around any objects in its way. And although the detailing could be better, itò€™s not meant to be a collectorò€™s scale model. This remote control machine isnò€™t about intricate design, top speeds or drifting round corners. It can travel up vertical surfaces and along ceilings ò€“ and this alone is enough to make it genuinely different and thoroughly entertaining.
