Nissan Leaf gets the NISMO treatment

We're big fans of the Nissan Leaf here at Autoblog UK, but even we're willing to admit that, alternative powerplant aside, it isn't the most exciting car in the world.

However, the version Nissan will reveal at the New York auto show this week couldn't be more appealing if it was coated in Haribo and pushed into a primary school.

First UK drive: Audi A6 3.0 TDi Quattro SE

The seventh generation A6 has to be Audi's most serious contender in the executive car stakes when compared to BMW and Mercedes rivals.

David got to drive the 2.0-litre TDi diesel and 3.0-litre TFSi petrol versions at the international launch earlier this year and came back impressed with the new cars abilities. So I was keen to drive both of these and another of the key engines – the 3.0-litre TDi at the A6's UK launch.

Pit box blunder: Button looked up too late

It was undoubtedly the most bizarre moment of the Chinese Grand Prix: Jenson Button was in the lead as he entered the pit lane ahead of Sebastian Vettel for his first stop of the race. But rather than homing in on his own McLaren crew, the Englishman turned in prematurely and found himself surrounded by Red Bull mechanics. They quickly shooed the illegal parker on his way, as reigning world champion Vettel was bearing down on them.

[疑惑]偶爾拉高轉速就可以清除積碳問題？

▲上圖是直列四缸8V引擎的汽缸頭，可以看得出燃燒室、汽門頂部都是黑色的積碳形成。

先前我們曾經對於汽油引擎清除燃燒室積碳、請Saab（紳寶）原廠做了示範，而在我們Facebook快車報修廠的粉絲頁裡，也有朋友對於傳說｢偶爾拉拉轉速｣就能清積碳的方式感到質疑。這個說法其實已經流傳很久了，但是｢拉拉轉速｣真能對清積碳幫上什麼忙嗎？

美式肌肉車大對決 - Camaro LT vs. Mustang

左邊黃車是2010 Chevrolet（雪佛蘭）的Camaro LT，右邊是2011 Ford（福特）經典的野馬Mustang，美國汽車媒體Inside Line針對這兩部美式經典肌肉車做了詳細的性能評比。雖然在國內美國車已經被歐系、日系車打趴，但是...肌肉車就是有它的魅力。就像如果叫馮迪索在玩命關頭裡開著BMW（寶馬）橫衝直撞，是不是會少了一點什麼味道呢？

什麼！把立體停車場搬到客廳？

看過驚天動地60秒的朋友，一定還記得安潔麗娜裘莉跟尼可拉斯凱吉在一棟豪宅的門外，等著車主熟睡後準備偷他的Lamborghini（藍寶堅尼）...這個橋段在台灣應該不太可能發生，因為超跑的車主應該都有車庫可以停他的愛車吧。不過日本的一位一級建築士「土田拓也」就蓋了這麼一棟有如陳列館的豪宅，不僅不會讓愛車被幹走，還可以在客廳隨時欣賞它。
