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. ...

Mini SUV: the proof

Stephen Dobie, 08 April 2008 06:36

Think the Mini 4x4 will be a Clubman in high heels? Think again. Here’s concrete evidence of the four-wheel drive system in the shape of rear driveshafts and a rear diff, caught on a prototype photographed by our man in Germany.Transmission specialist Getrag is rumoured to be helping BMW take the Mini on its latest adventure. Yet despite the off-road ...

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 ...

Mini Convertible latest

Stephen Dobie, 25 January 2008 11:50

The new Mini cabriolet isn’t due until 2009, but CAR has spotted it out on test again – and this time the disguise is much thinner. It’s not exactly a surprise new model, but Mini has still remained keen to shroud the drop-top's development in secrecy. With the cladding at a minimum, apart from some disguise at the rear, the Mini ...

BMW 3-series

Stephen Dobie, 18 January 2008 12:27

With Audi and Mercedes launching new family execs in the past 12 months, time has come for BMW to spruce up the 3-series. CAR has spotted the facelifted car testing around Munich, with a typically subtle BMW facelift. Judging by our pictures, the front end will receive a more sculptured bonnet and deeper grille, making the snout more aggressive, and ...

Dodge Challenger outed

Stephen Dobie, 18 January 2008 11:39

The production-ready Dodge Challenger is on the prowl, and CAR has caught it undisguised for the first time. The official launch is at next month’s Chicago Auto Show, and it’s almost a carbon copy of the concept we drove back in 2006. In fact, it’s not far off the 1970’s original and is a much more faithful rendition of its iconic ...

Volkswagen Touran

Stephen Dobie, 16 January 2008 18:58

Volkswagen’s facelifted Touran has barely been out a year, but CAR has already spied the replacement car testing in Germany. The new car is being rushed in because the current Touran - and the Mk5 Golf on which it's based - is expensive for VW to build. The Mk6 Golf and Mk2 Touran will solve that issue, with fewer variants and a design ...

Rolls-Royce Phantom Coupe

Stephen Dobie, 14 January 2008 17:14

Rolls-Royce might not sell millions of cars a year, but in its own way the company is a big success story. In 2007 Rolls shifted 1010 cars, up 25 percent compared to 2006, and way ahead of Maybach. The strong sales will increase further with the introduction of this, the Phantom Coupe. The Coupe is set to be unveiled at ...
