Jaguar at Goodwood Festival of Speed. Will we see the Jaguar F-Type R?

Will Jaguar show off the Jaguar F-Type R (pictured) at Goodwood? With the 2013 Goodwood Festival of Speed arriving at the end of the week, car makers are revealing what they’ll be taking to the petrolhead party, and it looks like Jaguar are taking something new too. As well as a chunk of the quickest Jaguars in existence, there’s going to be a new Jaguar F-Type Roadster Design Study.

Vauxhall Zafira Tourer concept (2011) at 2011 Geneva motor show

Vauxhall has put away the hologram projector and sent us proper photos of the Zafira Tourer concept, prior to its debut at the 2011 Geneva motor show Vauxhall has sought to create a comfortable, relaxing lounge ambience with the interior of the new Zafira, shown here in concept car form.  Vauxhall's trademark Flex7 seating now allows the middle row of seats to fold flat into the floor. The Zafira Tourer also boasts a 'lounge seat' middle row. Similar to the Vauxhall Meriva and other MPVs on the market, this allows the centre chair to drop down, liberating extra space for two middle-row passengers.  The interior is richly trimmed in caramel-coloured leather, with contrasting dark brown trim on the doors, and deep-pile carpets. This is not your usual toddler-resistant troop-carrier fare.
