UPDATE, 19/02/2018: Lamborghini has announced local pricing for the Huracan Performante Sypder. We've added details to the story. Lamborghini has used the Geneva motor show to launch its latest lightweight weapon, the Huracan Performante Spyder, almost exactly 12 months after the coupe version's debut.

The Jaguar I-Pace is preferable to the Tesla Model X, BMW is onto a winner with the M8 Gran Coupe and the challenging looks of the McLaren Senna haven't held it back – at least, that's what our latest poll results say.

Mitsubishi has unveiled the Blackline, a limited-edition version of its ever-popular Triton GLS dual-cab ute. The nameplate, which has also been used on Toyota and Nissan specials in the last few years, brings a black grille, black door mirrors, black door handles, dark sports bars and special graphics to the existing Triton GLS package.

Honda is on a performance charge with cars like the NSX and Civic Type R at the moment, but road cars and motorbikes aren't the only high-powered vehicles in its line-up. Meet the Mean Mower 2, successor to the first Mean Mower. Capable of over 134mph (216km/h), the Mean Mower 2 is powered by the same 1.0-litre engine as the CBR1000R superbike. That means it has 190hp (142kW) of power at 13,000rpm, good for a sub-3.0 second sprint to 100km/h.

Volvo has released details of its new T3 turbocharged petrol engine, which will launch with the new XC40 crossover in the coming months. It's the first three-cylinder engine in the Swedish manufacturer's 91-year history, and will likely rollout across the wider 40 Series range as the next generation of Volvo's smallest model family expands.
