Sat-nav could soon save your life – that’s according to Nissan. The Japanese car maker has just revealed its fourth-generation Advanced Safety Vehicle (ASV). The firm has fitted the newcomer with a hi-tech development of its standard on-board navigation system. By communicating with similarly equipped vehicles, it can warn of other drivers who are about to pull out of unsighted roads. The company claims that serious accidents could be reduced by 60 per cent if the gadgets in the ASV make production.

It"s not only the MiTo thatò€™s been hotting up ò€“ the GT is, too.
Alfa Romeo has resurrected the famous Cloverleaf badge, which is traditionally associated with the companyò€™s racing heritage, for the coupé.
The badge will appear on a range of models, including the 1.9-litre JTD turbodiesel. This is uprated from 150bhp to 170bhp, and gets the brandò€™s Q2 limited slip differential. It sprints from 0-62mph in 8.2 seconds and goes on to a 134mph top speed.
All Cloverleaf models feature 18-inch alloys and red brake calipers, plus a satin-effect front grille and door mirrors. There are three colour choices: Carbonio Black, Alfa Red and Atlantico Blue.
Inside, standard equipment includes leather sports seats, aluminium pedals and sports dials with a red background. The range is on sale now, with prices rising from Ò£18,980 for the 1.8 TS to Ò£21,890 for the 170bhp JTD.
