The duo had apparently been dicing over track space at the Níƒá¼rburgring in Germany, where the two coup탩s are currently being developed. According to our eyewitness, both the Lexus LF-A and Nissan GT-R are extremely quick, and in the hands of the experienced engineers have been setting ever faster laps. As the pair headed for a corner, neither driver would settle for second place, and they nearly made contact. Both machines are tipped to appear at the Tokyo Motor Show in October.

Spied this week at a dealer launch in France, Renault"s next-generation Clio is out to give the number one-selling Corsa a tough fight - and it"s laying its hopes on a bold new face. With huge headlights and a smaller grille, the new three-door Clio is a stronger design than the current car. That visual strength is continued at the rear, with a chunky C-pillar and elliptical tail-lights. The whole effect is much sportier than the five-door, which will look more like a baby Scenic.

The new Ford Focus Coupe-Cabriolet is set to make its UK debut at the London International Motor Show this July.

The four-seater goes on sale officially in October, and was first seen in a Vignale concept car in Paris 2004. Like many of the latest "CC" class family cars, the Pininfarina-designed Focus features a folding, two-piece metal roof that is claimed to open or close in under 30 seconds.

The car will come with two petrol and one diesel engine options: the 1.6 petrol gets to 62mph in fairly unexciting 13.6 secs, but manages 39.8mpg. whereas the 2.0 litre gets to the same mark in a whisker over 10 seconds, for little fuel hit - 37.6mpg. It will also keep going up to 130mph. The oil-burner is obviously a different kettle of fish, and while we"re still not sure about open-top diesels, the 2.0 turbo diesel looks the pick of the options - it gets to 62mph in the same time as the bigger petrol engine - 10.3 seconds - but returns a massive 47.9mpg, and comes with a standard 6-speed manual gearbox.

Pricing and final specs will be announced at the show.
