Revealed- Next Mercedes S Class

The next S-Class will be even safer than before. With up to five cutting-edge new safety systems, including a ‘Braking Bag’ that bursts under the front axle. There are also strong indications that the four-wheel-drive 4Matic model will at last become available in the UK.

There will be five models in the range: a four-door saloon, two extended-wheelbase cars, a short-wheelbase coupé and, for the first time, a soft-top convertible. Further up the range will be an S500 V8 petrol and an S600 V12, revised to pass 2015’s EU6 regulations. At the top will be successors to the V8-powered S63 and twin-turbo V12 S65 AMG.

Citroen DS range to expand

The Citroen DS range will grow to include six different models, including a luxury flagship for China and, potentially, a city car to rival the Fiat 500. Not all will make it to Europe. Citroën will also be using its Citroën Racing performance division in the future.

Reviewed- Ridge Racer 3D

The Ridge Racer series has been brought to the 3DS and this has resulted... Ridge Racer 3D. The game is good in carrer mode you start of with Class 4 and then move up to Classes 3,2 and finally the top class, Class 1. On some of the longer 3 lap races your thumbs start to hurt but the graphics are good with the 3D mode on. after a while, this can get boring though, so yu can race against your friends (who have the game) using Streetpass (a 3DS feature). Though in multiplayer mode you both have to have the same car but of course you can change the paintjob. To conclude...
VERDICT- Good game but sometimes can be boring
RATING- 6.5/10
