Lotus has come over all horological, producing its first ever chronograph wristwatch. The Type 1 Lotus Watch is the work of Barney Hatt, one of the in-house design team, and costs £175. It's available from UK dealers.

Subaru's STi division has created yet another iteration of the Impreza in Japan. The STi S204 has 320bhp, a stiffer bodyshell and revised suspension that includes more sophisticated damper location. The good news is that Subaru is planning to bring it to the UK either in the late summer or early autumn, and may commission Prodrive to squeeze out a few more bhp.
