Hmmm. I remain unconvinced about Tesla's long term plans. 2012 is very soon, are they that far ahead in the development of these ranges? They seem very quiet at the moment.

If Emperor Piech gets his squadrons of E-Trons deployed to Audi dealerships, I wonder how long Tesla has before its wealthy clients join the 4-ring circus for their electric sportscar thrills instead?  Have to share Batty's pessimism over their longterm prospects the longer they go before the Type S is released.  Mind you, has anyone in the motoring media driven a Fisker Karma yet?

I share your doubts. As much as I respect a lot of Mr Fisker's work, I just can't help but think "DeLorean!" whenever I come across his hybrid car venture. There's also a video showing the car on a test track (caution: better turn down the volume!) - hopefully that's just early stage suspension tweaking, though it's probably a very heavy car, which explains the very understeery handling.

Renault Sport are working on a more powerful version of the Megane RS, 275bhp to be precise...This car will probably be aim at track use,rear seats,air-con units etc will more than likely dissapear in the process to help bring the weight down...

Re: Spyshots thread

 I like the Megane Coupe but I think I'd be fine with a 'mere' 250hp.  Still, a trackday monster will keep the brand's profile high in the eyes of the motoring media and clubman/trackday crowd.

Oli, do you know what the first photo is of - a plastic moulding of some sort?

Re: Spyshots thread

The new Laguna 4! .....Nah,only joking,too early for that...But the following images were created by someone on the Renault-Fans forum page.Based on a Fisker Karma,they are basically his vision of what the future Laguna could look like with the new grill treatment taken straight from the recent Renault DeZir concept...You judge
