Toyota recently revealed the highly-anticipated FT-86 Concept that will be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show happening soon. Many excited about this new Toyota, but the Japanese auto maker only released a few images of the sports concept, up to now that is.

We now have a total of 44 new images of the FT-86 to share with you. However we still need wait until the concept makes its debut for juicier details, such as power figures and more. We do know that it has a Subaru-sourced 2,0-litre boxer engine under the hood and that Subaru will also produce its own version of the FT-86. Furthermore, Subaru is also like to roll out a high-performance STI version.

The 2010 Jaguar XJ has shed its retro skin to set a new course for the company’s flagship sedan. The future of the XJ will include a 375 kW supercharged V8, aluminum body, and virtual instruments.

Starting with the obvious, design director Ian Callum has managed to both underwhelm and surprise with this newest Jaguar. At first glance, it’s almost indistinguishable from the Jaguar XFR, taking much of the nose and sleek profile from the four-door coupe.

Upon further investigation the new XJ reveals a longer and more muscular profile, with a low roof line that slopes into an elongated and blacked-out C-pillar. The addition of a full panoramic glass roof adds another new dimension to the car. Whatever you’re feelings on the new design, it’s clear this is an almost complete departure from the previous XJ.

Mechanically, the Jaguar XJ isn’t quite as drastic a step forward. The platform is new, featuring a significant use of aluminum in the structure, but the first batch of engines will be a trio of the 5,0-litre Gen III direct-injection V8. The base XJ and XJL will include the naturally-aspirated version good for 283 kW and a 5.4-second zero to 100 km/h jaunt. The XJ Supercharged and XJL Supercharged models will be fitted with the same engine supercharged for 345 kW and a 5.2-second time.

The new high performance model, perhaps a stand-in for the XJR or merely a placeholder, is the XJ and XJL Supersport models. This will feature the XFR’s supercharged V8 good for 375 kW and a 4.7-second zero ro 100 km/h time. All of these will get Jaguar’s six-speed, shift-by-wire transmission with steering wheel-mounted paddles.

The biggest upgrade on the inside, which includes the usual mix of wood, chrome and piano black surfaces, is probably the ‘virtual instrument’ panel, which includes three round hi-def screens and no physical read-out at all. This allows the pods to adjust themselves to the driving conditions. For instance, if you switch into Dynamic mode the dials change to a red hue and bold the gear position indicator – which turns red as you approach the red line.

The new 2010 Jaguar XJ was unveiled earlier this month by celeb’s Elle Macpherson and Jay Leno at the Saatchi Gallery in Chelsea, London.

Either the developers of Gran Turismo, Polyphony Digital, are self-defeating perfectionists, or they’re outright lazy. Because in the gap between Gran Turismo 4 and the upcoming Gran Turismo 5, Forza Motorsport 2 and 3 will both have seen the light of an XBOX 360 disc drive.

Arriving on shelves in October with over 400 fully customisable cars, 100 tracks, a 60fps frame rate, and the ability to roll your car (how many races you’ll devote to that single goal…), Forza 3 promises to be the perfect holdover until GT5 arrives.

What am I saying: who needs GT5? Forza 3 looks more than mental enough for the most hardcore racing gamer, and that’s good enough for this casual gamer.

Now, Forza’s developers, Turn 10, have released a grab of 15 new images into the wild online.

Forza’s previous tracks are there, such as Suzuka and Nurburgring Nordschleife, and Forza Motorsport 3 adds a bunch of road courses such as the Montserrat region of Spain, the Amalfi Coast in Italy and the American Southwest. Time to run your own Gumball Rally 3000.

Forza 3 brings a range of new game modes as well, with the single-player season putting you through a personalised racing calendar featuring over 200 different events. The online multiplayer mode gets a new games rules editor, giving you new ways to play online.

The new Volkswagen Golf 6 GTD has been launched in Europe. With a top speed of 220 km/h and a zero to 100 km/h sprint of 8.1 seconds, it certainly puts the ‘GT’ into GTD. Enjoy the gallery of 30 hi-res pictures and decided for yourself if the new Golf GTD’s bark matches its bite.
