Even with the launch of the next-generation Civic Type-R many months away, some Honda dealers are apparently talking up a 'Type-RR' derivative.

Honda Super Civic - the 'Type-RR' ?

Mk5 Golf GTI-owning trackday fiends might be interested in a front brake upgrade kit from AP Racing. It comprises 330mm grooved and vented discs, four-piston callipers, braided hoses, Ferodo DS2500 pads and high-performance brake fluid. The kit costs £1641 and an extra 23 quid if you want red paint on your callipers. Call 0247 663 9595 for more details.

Brooke Cars is now taking orders for the all-new Double R (above) and expect deliveries to start this summer. Priced at £23,995 and powered by a 260bhp, 2.3-litre Cosworth Duratec engine, it could prove to be something of a performance bargain as it's claimed to hit 60mph in just 3.1sec.

They're just sooo common... Lamborghini recently produced the 2000th Murci�lago. Over its five years in production to date, the UK has accounted for 10 per cent of sales.
