NABA - Nigel, Alan...

NABA - Nigel, Alan, Bob and Allard - might sound like a naff, boy band version of a Swedish pop group. But they"re just ordinary family blokes trying to get on with their lives. They"re law-abiding citizens who work hard and pay their taxes. Oh, nearly forgot: they also have a weakness for taxed and insured motor cars. Shame on them.



The Swedish wizards...

The Swedish wizards have created a world-first wheel made from the super-lightweight material, and put a set on the awesome new CCX, unveiled this week at the Geneva Motor Show. The 245mph, ÷£400,000 newcomer replaces the firm"s CCR. Keeping the same basic styling as the CC 8S model, the CCX has a redesigned body that"s 88mm longer.

Vibrating car components...

Vibrating car components will soon become standard, predicts Japanese parts firm Denso. Shaking steering wheels, pedals, seats, headrests and seatbelts can alert drivers to potential dangers faster than dash lights or warning signs, cutting reaction times by up to a fifth of a second, according to scientists. Auto Express tested a car with a vibrating pedal in Issue 753.
