Autocar April 1, 2020

AUTOCAR IS NOT alone in being affected by the government’s response to controlling the Covid-19 outbreak. Since the prime minister’s announcement on 23 March, we have ceased all travel and testing on the road in order to play what part we can in not transmitting the virus, and all of our team are now working remotely. Last week’s Autocar was the first in our 125-year history to be produced with our team all working from their homes. This week’s is the second, and I hope we’re continuing to entertain as well as inform you with no interruption in service in these challenging times. Please see our back cover for more on how to get our magazine across several media if you are struggling. We’re a weekly magazine, but we often…

“The 400Z is expected to be rear-wheel drive and capable of 0-62mph in less than 5.0sec” The long-awaited successor to the Nissan 370Z is finally becoming a reality – and the all-new sports car could be revealed to the world within the next 12 months. Tipped to be called the 400Z, it’s set to make use of a twin-turbocharged V6 offering greater levels of performance than its predecessor. With the 370Z having been on sale with only minimal changes since 2009, rumours of what will replace it have been circulating for years. Nissan recently filed a trademark application in Canada for a redesigned Z badge. It uses a retro font that harks back to the original Z car, the Datsun 240Z, and the later 260Z and 280Z. The badge won’t be the only element of…

Just over a week after the UK government effectively ordered the entire population to stay at home in a bid to contain the coronavirus pandemic, motorists are naturally unsure how to interpret the rules. Autocar has compiled this guide to help you understand what you can and can’t do until the restrictions are lifted. Can I still go for a drive during the lockdown? Although driving hasn’t been banned, you should take your car out only if you have no realistic alternative. For example, it’s safer to drive than take public transport to reduce human contact. The government has said trips to get essential goods from places such as supermarkets, pharmacies, fuel stations and pet stores are permitted, as is commuting for key workers, but simply driving for pleasure isn’t…
