Aston Martin is developing an electric version of the controversial Cygnet city car – which is expected to make a splash as the first Aston Martin EV in history. Why is Aston launching an electric Cygnet? The e-Cygnet will glide silently on the coat tails of a proposed electric Toyota iQ, the Japanese city car that provides the foundation for ...

Rated 4 out of 54

Georg Kacher, 14 April 2011 10:55

This is the new BMW 3-series Gran Turismo. Or for short – and because Porsche probably wouldn’t take too kindly to it being called the GT3 – it’s the 3GT. Think of it as BMW’s rival to the Audi A5 Sportback. Our spies have photographed the new BMW 3GT on test in Europe. Browse our spy shots in our scoop ...

Mercedes S-class (2012): it's the W222!

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 03 February 2011 17:27

Without China, North America and the Middle East, the Mercedes S-class would towards the end of its career be almost dead in the water. In Europe, for instance, sales of the ageing S-class limo fell behind the new Audi A8 and the BMW 7-series. A regional phenomenon or a major headache in the making? To stop the slide, Daimler is ...

Mercedes-Benz SL (2012): the new spyshots

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 29 December 2010 16:04

At Mercedes, the SL used to be most popular high-end two-seater, but this role has long been adopted by the lighter and less expensive SLK. Time then, to give the upmarket Merc SL a shot in the arm with this 2012 newcomer. Although America and China are supporting the SL, crumbling residuals and cut-throat lease schemes are underming its image. ...

Mercedes CLK becomes C-class Coupe (2011): spy photos

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 05 November 2010 09:10

Despite such image-building spin-offs as the DTM AMG edition and the Black Series bahnstormer, the previous-generation Mercedes CLK was aimed primarily at well to do best-agers, not at amateur racers. The replacement due in March 2011 is a much sharper piece of kit which targets a more dynamic clientele. Renamed the Mercedes C-class Coupe, this relatively straightforward C-class derivative is ...

Audi reinvents the A2: the A2 e-tron (2013)

Rated 2 out of 52

Georg Kacher, 25 October 2010 10:23

Audi is reviving the A2 supermini in its quest to become the world’s number one premium car maker. Although not a commercial success, the original A2 was a car ahead of its time, with pioneering packaging and lightweight technology – and the new 2013 A2 will tread a similar path. Why the original Audi A2 wasn’t the success story we ...

VW Passat Estate (2011) the new spy photos

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 04 August 2010 12:10

How new is the new 2011 VW Passat, caught in our new spy photos in estate guise? While the Passat Mk8 we’ll see at the 2010 Paris motor show gets fresh sheet metal and a restyled cabin, the DNA beneath the crisper skin remains by and large unchanged. The brief given to the designers called for a sleeker and more ...

Audi RS3 coming in 2010, plus 2011 A3 range revealed

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Georg Kacher, 06 May 2010 09:11

This is Audi's new 2010 RS3, a mad hot hatch that will be a final hurrah for the current A3 range before an all-new model is launched in 2011. CAR's spies at the Nurburgring have captured this prototype sporting engorged air intakes, bigger brakes and a lowered ride height, while under the bonnet is the same turbocharged 2.5-litre five-pot that's found in ...

Mercedes A-class and B-class (2011 and 2012) scooped

Rated 2 out of 52

Georg Kacher, 17 March 2010 12:49

brightcove.createExperiences(); The countdown is on to the new Mercedes A- and B-class family rolling out of Stuttgart from 2011-2013. It’ll usher in plenty of change and, controversially, ushers in an entirely conventional platform called Mercedes Front-Wheel Drive Architecture (MFA) with none of the clever-clogs sandwich flooring that made the first two iterations technically stand out.
