Here"s a smart idea... the DVLA is to try out a new way of preventing motorists from illegally sitting learners’ tests. It’s planning a trial of ‘smart’ provisional driving licences.

Billed as a replacement for the more conservative Almera, it"s been penned at Nissan"s European design HQ in Paddington. The model has unusual glass sections of the roof, which should guarantee an airy cabin - although buyers will have to wait until 2007 to find out. The Tone"s radical look coincides with a Tokyo exhibition marking 50 years of Nissan design.

Making its debut at...

Making its debut at next March"s Geneva Motor Show, the roadster will have a fully automatic folding fabric roof - unlike the drop-top Murci탩lago. The newcomer"s electro-hydraulic hood retracts neatly at the touch of a button, and sits beneath a flush-fitting cover on the Spyder"s slightly redesigned rear end. The car will go on sale here next summer, priced from around í‚á£130,000. It will be powered by the same 500bhp 5.0-litre V10 as is found in the coup탩.

However, engineers at Lamborghini are preparing a more powerful 5.2 V10 for the hard-topped model, to put it on a level footing with the new Ferrari F430. The uprated engine will produce a hefty 550bhp, and debut in the facelifted Gallardo, which is expected to arrive later in 2006. This car will borrow styling cues from the Concept S, which was unveiled at the Swiss event in March.
