Skoda has launched Outdoor and Outdoor Plus versions of its new Skoda Superb. The standard car features new front and rear bumpers, side body mouldings and wheel arch extensions, while Outdoor Plus models add leather trim and sat-nav. Available with a 2.0-litre TDI engine in either 138bhp or 168bhp forms; the cars cost from £26,995 and £29,235 respectively.

Fashion designer Louis Vuitton has created a new set of luggage to sell alongside the BMW i8 plug-in hybrid. The luggage features carbonfibre, and will go on sale from April. The i8 sports car will be available later this year.
