The RAC has been bought...

The RAC has been bought by Norwich Union owner Aviva for í‚á£1.1billion. And the new owner has already revealed plans to cut 900 head office jobs and lose 800 administration staff at the automotive breakdown giant. While some services will be moved outside the UK, front-line staff involved in such areas as patrol call centres will remain in Britain.



“I’m not...

“I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying here,” said the Englishman, who posted his first top 10 starting position of what’s been a troubled season, and then finished 11th.

The production-ready...

The production-ready model was shown at the firm’s research centre in South Korea, ahead of its public debut at the Detroit Motor Show in January. As well as Mercedes CLS-style headlamps, the newcomer wears a Bentley-inspired winged badge on the bonnet.

The Genesis comes with lots of standard kit, including adaptive cruise control, a start-stop button, xenon headlamps and Bluetooth phone connectivity.

Safety features such as electronic stability and traction control, eight airbags and active headrests are likely to be fitted. Power is from a choice of 3.3 and 3.8-litre V6 petrol units, plus an all-new 4.6-litre V8.

The eight-cylinder engine generates 375bhp and drives the rear wheels via a six-speed manual transmission. This should provide a 0-60mph sprint time of less than six seconds. When the petrol-only Genesis goes on sale in the US next year, it will start from ,000 (?15,000).

However, unless a diesel engine is added to the line-up, it’s unlikely the car will be sold in the UK.
