GM’s new Cadillac marketing chief, Uwe Ellinghaus, believes it could take as long as a decade to build its reputation as a global luxury brand.

A twin-turbocharged, 6.0-litre V12 developing 630bhp is at the heart of the new Mercedes-Benz S 65 AMG, which goes on sale in the UK next year after making its global debut this month at the Los Angeles and Tokyo motor shows.

Citroen DS and Porsche 911 are both iconic cars. During the “Car of the Century” awards in 1999, the DS took the 3rd spot and Porsche 911 fifth.

Italy’s car market shows no signs yet of recovery, unlike other key countries in Europe, Fiat’s Europe chief, Alfredo Altavilla, said.
