Now in its third year, the 2010 PistonHeads Show is already attracting attention, as sports car constructor SDR will be unveiling its new V-Storm car to the public at the NEC, Birmingham on 14-17 January 2010.

The culmination of a project that was first announced at the 2009 show, the new SDR V-Storm features a unique exposed chassis design, and is powered by a mid-mounted Subaru STI engine. Power output is expected to be 300bhp, and weighing only 750kg, it will deliver a 0-60mph time of just over three seconds, as well as a top speed close to 165mph.

In stark contrast to many of its trackday-market rivals, the V-Storm even has three seats, making it surprisingly practical, as well as fun to drive.

According to the TUC’s latest research, the five million people who regularly work unpaid overtime are working on average 57 days a year for nothing. The figure represents the highest number of unpaid extra hours worked since the late 1990s. read more
