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.

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.
