1 day ago | autocar.co.uk | Charlie Martin

BYD’s premium spin-off Denza has lifted the covers off a new concept previewing a Porsche 911 and Maserati Granturismo rival. Named the Denza Z, it is an electric car with a cab-forward design typical of midship sports cars.

Detailed specifications have yet to be revealed but its low-set, wide-hipped design and large rear wing clearly signal a performance-focused intent.

Meanwhile, the Mazda 6e gets a 254bhp motor and a battery pack of the same capacity, yielding 345 miles between charges. The EZ-60 also draws on the new design language introduced with the saloon, with thin LED daytime-running lights mounted high on the fascia above smaller main-beam headlights. The lower portion of the grille is outlined with LED lighting. It is notably more angular than the 6e, however, with a prominent chin spoiler on the front bumper and a pronounced shoulder line.

2 days ago | autocar.co.uk | Charlie Martin

Mercedes-Benz will launch its first car equipped with by-wire steering next year, a system which will also replace its traditional steering wheel with a yoke. The system replaces the mechanical connection between the steering and the front wheels with an electronic connection – the ‘wire’ – that is said to provide a greater bandwidth of feedback. For example, the steering quickens at low speeds to reduce the physical effort required for manoeuvres such as parking.
