Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Mark Hamilton, 28 June 2011 15:07

CAR's spy photographers have brought us the first images of the upcoming Bentley Continental GTC Speed. Err, Bentley have already released the Continental GTC, it's on their website... An understandable error, given how much the new Continental GT coupe resembles its forebears.

Rated 3.5 out of 53.5

Mark Hamilton, 15 June 2011 16:30

Last week we reported the specification levels of the 2011 Mini Coupe. BMW was kind enough to supply photos of the car, but decided to leave their signature camouflage tape covering the new car's reshaped roofline and bootlid. Thanks to CAR's spy photographers we can remedy that, with scoop photos of the Mini Coupe ahead of its official unveiling.   The Mini Coupe: caught with ...

Mark Hamilton, 09 June 2011 12:23

Jaguar's fasted series-production car, the XKR-S coupe, may well be joined by a convertible edition in the near future. That's the implication of these spy shots, taken at a confidential location. The photos show a red Jaguar convertible prototype, bearing the distinctive modified nose and big rear spoiler of the range-topping XKR-S.  Jaguar XKR-S: the 542bhp super-Jag Jaguar announced the XKR-S at the 2011 Geneva ...

Toyota FT-86 (2012) spied with new rear wing

Rated 4 out of 54

Mark Hamilton, 18 May 2011 16:30

Following our earlier FT-86 spy photo story, come this new set of spy pics showing a body-kitted example of the upcoming Toyota FT-86 sports car. That big rear wing on the FT-86 reminds me of a Supra... Heaven forbid I provoke any further criticism from readers by likening the compact FT-86 to Toyota's discontinued performance flagship. But, yes, the tall wing does ...

Rated 3 out of 53

Mark Hamilton, 04 May 2011 11:38

This is the F30 BMW 3-series saloon, caught cruising outside BMW's R&D centre. Modelling a form-fitting strapless BMW engineering original in 3M camouflage sheeting but showing plenty of glasshouse and leaving little to the imagination, our spy shots offer the clearest look at middle Britain's next default saloon. The 2011 F30 3-series saloon: evolution not revolution When you're the anchor of a car company's ...

Our footage shows the five-door edition of the F20 1-series testing at speed on the Nurburgring, and being tailed by our spy on roads near the famous circuit.

Toyota Yaris 3dr (2011) caught testing

Rated 2.5 out of 52.5

Mark Hamilton, 06 April 2011 13:30

Our spy photographers have caught Toyota's new Yaris on the test track in prototype form. Why disguise it? The new Toyota Yaris has already been released in Japan! Not quite. A five-door Toyota Yaris is for sale in Japan, wearing its domestic market Toyota Vitz nameplate. We've also seen the Yaris HSD concept hybrid at last month's 2011 Geneva motor show.  ...
