The all new Jaguar XE has finally been revealed to the world during a star-studded event held at Earl's Court in London. The XE goes on sale in 2015, with the high-performance S model generating 250kW and 450Nm of torque at the top of the range. The high-revving engine is linked to an eight-speed automatic transmission with paddle shift controls, so it should hustle along nicely.

Auckland Mayor Len Brown has opted for a less fuel efficient official car, just weeks after launching a new strategy to cut the city's greenhouse gas emissions.
