2016 Paris motor show

With the Mercedes-AMG hypercar announcement at the 2016 Paris Motor Show came plenty of subjective thought about how much Mercedes would leverage their Formula One technology into a road car. But the facts were much simpler, and when CarAdvice spoke with Tobias Moers, Chief Executive of Mercedes-AMG, he summed it up very succinctly. “We're not talking about 'inspired'.”

That's it, another big motor show wrapped up - well, the press days, at least. If you happen to be heading for the city of love, you've got until October 16 to drop in and get a look at the best the 2016 Paris motor show has to offer.

The updated 2017 Maserati Ghibli and Quattroporte sedans have been detailed, bringing new infotainment, updated engines and driver assistance technologies. While the facelifted 2017 Quattroporte was revealed in June, the updated Ghibli has been detailed here for the first time. However, unlike its bigger brother, the smaller Maserati sedan doesn't feature any sheetmetal changes for the new model year.

Your car's connectivity, and how you drive, could impact on your insurance premiums in the future - according to senior Renault connectivity guru, Benoit Joly. With modern cars increasingly connected to the outside world and sending and receiving live updates to and from any number of sources, Joly believes insurance companies could offer lower premiums to those drivers who agree to share their driving data with them.

The Renault Nissan Alliance’s takeover of Mitsubishi should be completed by the end of the year, according to the alliance’s CEO, Carlos Ghosn. Ghosn revealed at the Paris motor show this week that the Alliance was in the due diligence phase and that he expected the deal to be finalised by the end of the year.
