Mazda 3 MPS (2009): the spy photos

Tim Pollard, 22 October 2008 13:03

Next year is shaping up to be a golden year for hot hatch lovers. We've just scooped the new Mazda 3 MPS on test in Germany – and it'll face stiff competition from the likes of the new Ford Focus RS, Renaulsport Megane and sixth-generation VW Golf GTI. Could the timing be worse to launch these high-performance, high-consumption models of ...

Renaultsport Megane (2009) hot hatch: the spy photos

Tim Pollard, 07 October 2008 15:25

Renault is readying a high-performance version of the new Megane and we’ve caught the hot hatch testing just days after the regular hatchback and coupe’s debut at last week’s Paris motor show. The new Megane five-door rolls into dealerships in November 2008 and the three-door coupe in January 2009 – but we’ve scooped the Renaultsport version a full year before ...

VW Golf GTI and future models revealed

Ben Whitworth and Georg Kacher, 18 September 2008 14:00

These are the best pictures yet of Volkswagen’s iconic Golf GTI – we've caught the sixth-generation performance hotshoe undertaking final hot weather testing before its public debut at the 2008 Paris motor show on 2 October 2008. Peel away that black masking and the car’s chunky new lines, fat bumpers, lowered ride height and goatee grille can easily be seen. Perhaps ...

VW Golf GTI (2009): spy pictures

Ben Pulman, 26 August 2008 07:29

VW’s new Golf GTI is on the way. Caught hot-weather testing in the USA, these are the first scoop shots of the Mk6 Golf GTI. Power will come from an all-new, Audi-sourced 2.0-litre turbocharged engine, while the brakes, suspension and bodywork will be beefed-up versions of today's Golf GTI hardware. A motor show debut is expected in 2009 at Geneva ...

Subaru Impreza WRX STi Spec C (2010): spy photos

Ben Pulman, 25 July 2008 11:53

Prepare to feel perturbed, because this is a hot Subaru Impreza you’re going to struggle to get your hands on. CAR Online’s spies have spotted the new Spec C Impreza testing at the Nurburgring, and the bad news is it’s a Japanese-only model built to homologate the Scooby for Group N rallying. So I can’t get hold of the new ...

Seat turns up the heat on new Ibiza

Ben Whitworth, 26 June 2008 09:00

Seat has already started work on turning up the new Ibiza’s wick – our spy snapper caught this mule testing this week – less than a month after the new three-door SportCoupe’s debut. Expect both diesel and petrol FR models to arrive early next year, with the mad Cupra arriving mid-2009. This Seat Ibiza doesn't exactly look like a ripper… Good point ...

Ford Focus RS: the official 'scoop'

Tim Pollard, 12 June 2008 10:59

After yesterday's leak of internal photos revealing the Ford Focus RS, the Blue Oval has taken the unusual step of releasing its own 'official' spy photos. This pair of pictures shows the new RS testing at the Nurburgring in Germany ahead of its spring 2009 launch. Reacting against the leak, Ford today published a few nuggets of hard fact confirming ...

Alfa Romeo 149

Stephen Dobie, 10 April 2008 10:57

The new Alfa Romeo 149 has been spied on test, looking remarkably similar to the Fiat Bravo. That’s because this Alfa, like the new Mito hatch, will be based on Fiat parts. Scooped at the Nurburgring (it's manufacturer test season), the 149 is undergoing cooling checks, hence the production-spec front lights, grilles and air intakes that point to the final design. ...

Ford Focus RS scooped

Stephen Dobie, 07 April 2008 15:41

One of the year’s most anticipated hot hatches – the Ford Focus RS – has been spied testing at the Nurburgring. Bodywork changes are fairly limited on this prototype but underneath lie the Quaife diff and turbocharged engine that Ford hopes will allow the Focus RS to outpoint the Evo X and WRX STi. We'll see a concept of the Ford ...

Subaru Impreza STi spied

Tim Pollard, 03 July 2007 03:48

Subaru Impreza STi caught on camera We've already published our artist's impressions of the new Subaru Impreza STi - and now our man with the long lens in Germany has snared the first shots of the rabid hot hatch testing around a rain-lashed Nurburgring. It's still taking a little while for CAR's eyes to adjust to the Impreza's new five-door ...
