Following spy photos of the near production-ready model revealed by TMR last month, Skoda has revealed the first official teaser image of [...]
MERCEDES-BENZ has been caught testing a convertible variant of its upcoming SLS AMG supercar in the United States, confirming recent rumours of an SLS Roadster.
The lightly-camouflaged test mules appear to be undergoing final stages of pre-production testing, with the black vinyl cladding hiding what appears to be a production-ready body.
The finished product could be [...]
A PROTOTYPE for the upcoming McLaren P11, expected to launch in 2011, has been spied testing at Germany’s famed Nurburgring circuit.
Despite the heavy camouflaging, it’s clear from the cab-forward wedge shape and air-intakes that the successor to the legendary McLaren F1 will feature a mid-engine layout.
The P11, unlike its F1 forebear, will be aimed [...]
THE 2011 AUDI RS5 has been spied recently in near-production guise, undergoing testing ahead of a likely Frankfurt Motor Show debut next month.
The powertrain for the new performance coupe has not yet been revealed, but like the S5 before it - which is scheduled to switch to a supercharged V6 next year - the [...]
A MASKED-UP Hyundai prototype has been spotted displaying an engine bay full of heavy-duty electrical hardware, confirming that development is well underway for the company’s first mid-sized hybrid.
Underneath the heavy camouflage lies the 2011 Hyundai Sonata, due to be unveiled at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2010.
Hyundai is expected to revitalise the Sonata with [...]
A BE-SPOILERED AUDI R8 5.2 FSI prototype has been spotted circuiting the Nurburgring Nordschliefe in Germany, sparking speculation that the automaker is preparing a stripped-out, performance focused variant of its mid-engined supercar.
The prototype sports a fixed rear wing, additional venting in the front bumper and a set of front canards. A pair of bonnet latches [...]
THE 2011 PORSCHE CAYENNE has been spied testing in final production guise at Germany’s famed Nurburgring circuit.
Smaller overall than the current model, the 2011 Cayenne will nonetheless share its platform with the larger Audi Q7 and Volkswagen Touareg. The wheelbase will be shortened 40mm in length, and height will drop by 20mm.
Power is expected to [...]
FOLLOWING LAST YEAR’S update to the the 3 Series sedan, BMW has begun work on a mid-life facelift for the 3 Series Coupe.
These new spy photos reveal that the Coupe’s visual changes will be minor. New front and rear bumpers, LED rear lights and updated headlights figure among the more obvious revisions.
The interior of the [...]
THE CURRENT generation of the Suzuki Swift - available in Australia since 2005 - is reaching the end of its run, and an all-new model is now on the way.
Styling is expected to remain similar to the hugely successful fifth generation Swift, and these new spy photos reveal that development is well underway.
The new [...]
BENTLEY’S UPCOMING replacement for the Arnage has been spotted undergoing testing, giving us our first proper look at the proportions of the stately all-new sedan.
But with every panel bar the roof covered by a thick layer of plastic cladding, the sheetmetal of the new “Grand Bentley” is almost entirely obscured.
What we can discern however, is [...]
A PORSCHE PROTOTYPE has been spotted undergoing testing with a mysterious bulge and an electrical warning label slapped onto its bonnet, sparking speculation that the German carmaker is accelerating development of a hybrid powertrain.
The photographer who snapped these images reported that the 911 Cabrio-based development car was unusually quiet for a Porsche, and when the [...]
DEVELOPMENT OF THE upcoming 2010 BMW X3 is well underway, as these new spy photos reveal.
Wearing BMW’s trademark disruptive camouflage, the new X3 is noticeably larger than the current model, confirming earlier suspicions that the 2010 model would benefit from a boost in overall dimensions.
The increased size of the next generation X3, which will [...]
FERRARI’S ROLLING “technological laboratory”, the 599XX, has been spotted lapping the supercar maker’s Fiorano test circuit in Italy.
Although based upon the flagship 599 GTB Fiorano, the 599XX won’t be available to your averaged cashed-up buyer. Instead, only a select few will be invited by Ferrari to purchase one of the high-tech supercars, which can only [...]
ACCORDING TO a trademark submission made by BMW, the company’s upcoming MINI crossover may wear the Countryman name.
The timing of the submission strongly supports speculation that the Countryman moniker will be used by the high-riding MINI CUV, which is expected to debut at the Frankfurt Auto Show in September.
The Countryman badge also has a history [...]
WITH CHRYSLER and Fiat’s alliance now official, speculation as to which of each company’s cars and platforms will appear in each other’s respective home markets will be a topic of discussion for a while to come.
Now, the 2010 Alfa Romeo Milano has been spied testing at the Nurburgring in Germany, ahead of its expected debut [...]
FIAT IS PREPARING a new face for its volume-selling Punto hatchback, as these recently-shot spy photos show.

THE FACE OF The 2010 Hyundai Santa Fe was unveiled to the South Korean press back in June, but so far only the one image has been offered by Hyundai.

DUE TO REPLACE the current and ageing SLK in 2011, the next generation Mercedes-Benz SLK has been spotted testing in heavy camouflage at Germany’s famed Nurburgring.
The slab-like camouflage adorning every panel gives us little idea of what to expect from the next SLK’s styling, but a longer bonnet and a cab-back seating position stand [...]
WITH THE 2010 Mercedes-Benz E-Class unveiled at the Detroit Motor Show earlier this year, ‘three-pointed-star’ enthusiasts have since diverted their eager attention to news of the upcoming E-Class Cabriolet and Estate models.
It’s been a rollercoaster affair, with talk that the German luxury carmaker had delayed the convertible and wagon as a result of the global [...]
THE NEXT GENERATION Volkswagen Touareg, expected to land late next year as a 2011 model, has been spied testing in the hot and arid conditions of California, in the United States.

FACING STIFF COMPETITION in the new E-class, BMW is running the final testing of its new 5 Series range in preparation for release later this year as a 2010 model.
Gone is the heavy all-over drapery of previous engineering evaluation vehicles. Instead our spy shots reveal bodysides and front and rear styling which follow closely in [...]
AUDI HAS BEGUN testing the next-generation A3 in Germany, transplanting the new hatchback’s mechanical package into the body of the closely-related Golf VI in an attempt to keep prying eyes away.
But despite the unassuming facade of the Golf, our spy photographers weren’t fooled by the prominent wheel arch flares that have been grafted onto the [...]
THE UNVEILING of the 2010 Saab 9-5 at September’s Frankfurt Motor Show is drawing nearer, and these new photos of the company’s next-generation flagship reveal that the big sedan is well on course for the event.
While heavily camouflaged, the car seen here bears more than a few similarities to the allegedly genuine 2010 Saab 9-5 [...]
IMAGES OF A completely camouflage-free 2010 Alfa Romeo Milano have hit the web, not long after a covered-up protype was spotted lapping the Nurburgring Nordschleife.
The images, apparently taken by an Alfa Romeo enthusiast and uploaded onto Facebook, show the 147 replacement sitting in some kind of storage facility (alongside it are other early production models).
These [...]
MERCEDES-BENZ is expected to issue some light cosmetic refinements to its volume-selling C-Class sometime next year, with the most visible changes limited to bumper, wheel and lamp-cluster designs.
Interior trim changes will likely feature in the MY 2011 update as well, while the C-Class’s mechanical package will also undergo some subtle refinements.
Mercedes has already started to [...]
COUPE ENTHUSIASTS with a little more to spend and a taste for something even more high-end than the stylish C-Class And E-Class Coupes, will be closely watching the progress of the upcoming 2011 Mercedes-Benz S-Class Coupe. This model will replace the CL moniker in the company’s model name shake-up.
The rendering (above), along with new [...]
LESS THAN A DAY after we first saw leaked pictures of what many are saying is the highly-anticipated RWD Lamborghini Gallardo LP550-2, a mysterious Gallardo prototype has been spotted undergoing trials at the Nurburgring.
Sporting the front bumper and rear-end styling of the old Gallardo instead of the LP560-based nose we saw in the leaked photos, [...]
WITH ITS SHOWROOM debut expected to fall around the middle of 2011, a heavily camouflaged prototype of the 2012 Mercedes-Benz ML-Class has been spied testing on the roads of Germany.
While the wheelbase appears more or less unchanged from the current model, shorter overhangs front and back point to a slightly more compact body than the [...]
PEUGEOT’S SLEEK 308 RC-Z has been spotted out and about in prototype form, undergoing fine-tuning for what many believe will be a Frankfurt Auto Show debut later this year.
Since first breaking cover at the 2007 Frankfurt show, the 308 RC-Z has become a favourite among Peugeot fans and, when it eventually makes it to the [...]
