Automotive rarities roar by, taking visitors at the Nürburgring and Drive-It viewers back into motor sports history.

Test It! Dacia Sandero


The Romanian subsidiary of Renault tripled new registriations of its cars in Germany last year. Now the company aims to top that with its new Sandero. Designed to win-out in head-to-head competition with VW's Golf and similar economy cars, the philosophy behind the Sendero is as much as is needed for as little as possible. And customers are buying into it even though you still have to roll down Sandero's windows, and split rear seats are an extra, and ESP is unavailable. Imagine It! Sun Diesel


Whether you call it Sun Diesel, Bioliq or Sunfuel, the main issue is BTL or biomass to liquid or chemically-liquefied biomass diesel fuel. Still unavailable at the pump, Drive-It has already given the latest in fuel a try. Pure BTL burns more cleanly than diesel, with soot emissions that are 40 percent lower and nitrogen oxide emissions down 10 percent. And any diesel motor can burn the stuff, already. Drive-It went along for a ride in a VW Golf with a 1.9 liter diesel under the hood and Sunfuel in the tank to find out what the experience was like. Compare It! Crash Test Shows Safety Improvement
