2010 Mercedes-Benz SLK spy pics

Matt Brogan — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 06:02:48 +0000

It might seem too soon to talk about the next generation of Mercedes-Benz SLK, but some rumours already suggest the car could appear in showrooms as soon as late next year. Looking at the rendering received today, the next-generation SLK looks a lot like a smaller version of Merc’s SL. From the technical side of things, the [...]

Earlier this month Ferrari CEO, Mr Amedeo Felisa, confirmed that the 612 Scaglietti will be replaced by 2012, and this morning, CarAdvice have these renderings as proof of what the revised model is likely to look like. The 612 Scaglietti has been on the market since 2004, and although very little is known about its successor, [...]

Matt Brogan — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 03:57:39 +0000

Renderings of a sedan variant of Volkswagen’s new Polo have today been shot across the CarAdvice news desk. The VW Polo sedan will share a more ‘family’ look, in line with Mark VI Golf and Tiuguan, and will be offered with the usual spread of diesel and petrol engines. No test mules have yet been caught by [...]

Matt Brogan — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 01:11:17 +0000

CarAdvice have today received a couple of spy pics of the upcoming 2011 Mercedes-Benz CLS. Already wearing less disguise than last time, these pics allow us to clearly see far more of the shape of this second generation Mercedes CLS. Power is expected to come from a wide range of sources among which are petrol, petrol-turbo and [...]

2010 Renault Megane CC spy pics

Matt Brogan — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:19:51 +0000

Though we don’t know a great deal about next year’s Renault Megane CC, these renderings, received this morning, point to a stylish newcomer set to challenge rivals such as VW’s Eos and BMW’s 1 Series. The Renault Megane CC will no doubt share many of the same driveline specifications of its sedan sibling which will mean [...]

2014 Jaguar XF Coupe spy pics

Matt Brogan — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 22:05:43 +0000

CarAdvice have this morning received the following renderings of what is believed to be the upcoming 2014 Jaguar XF Coupe. Although details are sketchy, pardon the pun, we can see hinted at the rear of the car’s profile tail lamps similar to that featured on Jag’s next full-size saloon, the XJ. The striking coupe is said to [...]

2010 BMW 5 Series spy pics

Matt Brogan — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:55:42 +0000

These spy-shots of the 2009 BMW 5 Series represent the clearest look yet at the future design direction of this class-leading luxury sedan. It is the first sight of the latest interpretation of the twin-kidney grille. Sources in Europe claim this BMW will move away from the polarising design of the current model. Already under development [...]

Mercedes-Benz ML-Class spy pics

Matt Brogan — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 21:21:25 +0000

Earlier today our spy photographers caught the all-new Mercedes M-class during a first test-drive close to the firm’s headquarters. The car won’t make it to the dealers before the second half of 2011 – and here we have shots of the new SUV in full glory! Judging from these exclusive spy-pictures, the new ML won’t get [...]

2011 Volkswagen Touareg spy pics

Matt Brogan — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 21:28:36 +0000

Today’s spy pics show an actual prototype of the 2011 Volkswagen Touareg. The 2011 Touareg will go on a crash diet and be some 300 kilograms lighter! This should certainly help the Touareg’s less-than-stellar fuel economy and improve handling. Along with its weight loss, we’re also hearing the chassis has in fact been lengthened by a [...]

BMW 3 Series coupe update spy pics

Matt Brogan — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:36:07 +0000

While 3-series saloon and estate received their mid-life facelifts yet a while ago, here’s now the first shots of the makeover BMW plans to give to the 3-series Coupé – and the Cabrio likewise. Tough not yet visible, the simple but effective disguise of the car’s front bumper hints to modifications underneath the plastic cover. However, we [...]

2011 Mercedes-Benz B-Class spy pics

Matt Brogan — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 20:30:36 +0000

Here are the first ever shots of the all-new Mercedes B-class, expected to hit showrooms in the third-quarter of 2011. It’s the car that fans of the current model won’t like: the new car will discontinue today’s B-class’ overall layout of a super-mini MPV in favour of a more hatchback-like design. Much more than a Sports-Tourer, [...]

Toyota FT-86 spied testing at Nurburgring

Matt Brogan — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:56:19 +0000

While the Toyota FT-86 concept is on display at Tokyo Motor Show this week, testing for the production model has already begun with a downright bizarre looking mule lapping the Nurburgring. Identified by our European spies as a FT-86 mule, this development car appears to be one car in the front and a totally different car [...]

Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG spy pics

Matt Brogan — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 02:11:19 +0000

The next-generation Mercedes-Benz CLS AMG has been spied testing out in the open. While the normal CLS has been caught a number of times, this is the first time that we see the high-performance AMG model strutting its stuff in public. Its side mirror indicators have the same design style as the E-Class sedan and [...]

Subaru STI RWD Coupe rendered speculation

George Skentzos — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 10:17:39 +0000

While Toyota’s FT-86 Concept has stolen the spotlight in the lead up to its debut at the Tokyo Motor Show, Japan’s Holiday Auto has had a go at sketching Subaru’s sibling to the AE86 successor. The rendering shows a potential flagship STI variant which should up the power stakes by employing Subaru’s 186kW normally aspirated EJ25 [...]

Mercedes-Benz E-Class Cabrio spy pics

Matt Brogan — Fri, 09 Oct 2009 02:12:21 +0000

Here’s prove Mercedes is hard working on the next generation E-Class Cabrio (so far called CLK) – and of the fact that the coupé’s beautiful sister will get a retractable hardtop. Clearly visible is the joint between the windshield frame and the front edge of the roof. The wider disguise of the c-post and the longer [...]

2012 Volkswagen Golf VII leaked and rendered

George Skentzos — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:51:40 +0000

In a recent promotional video to showcase their creative process, Volkswagen accidently included a full-sized clay model of the next generation Golf VII in the background of one of the shots. While the offending clip was quickly removed, naturally our friends at Scoopy have pounced on this opportunity by creating a very accurate depiction of the [...]

2010 Alfa Romeo 169 rendered

George Skentzos — Fri, 02 Oct 2009 14:12:45 +0000

Alfa Romeo is preparing to replace its aging 166 with the new 169, seen here for the first time in these artists impressions. The 169 will mark a complete departure from Alfa Romeo’s current styling direction and will set the tone for future large Alfa’s. Likely to draw its inspiration from the Visconti concept first shown [...]

2011 Mitsubishi Crossover spy pics

Matt Brogan — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 23:16:59 +0000

Here are the very first spy-shots of an all-new Mitsubishi Crossover, likely to hit showrooms early 2011. What our spies shot in Switzerland today looks very much like a shrunk Qashqai-like Crossover – a class of cars that’s very popular nowadays and might replace the thirsty SUVs within the coming few years. Nissan’s Qashqai is the makes [...]

George Skentzos — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 09:30:45 +0000

While the launch of a V10-powered Audi R8 may have sparked some sibling rivalry with Lamborghini, it seems the brand may now have the LP 550-2 in its sights with a Clubsport variant reportedly in the works. The Audi R8 Clubsport is rumoured to weigh 50 kilograms less than the standard model, coupled with an uprated [...]

2011 BMW X5 facelift spy pics

BMW has been spied testing a subtly revised version of its X5 SUV which is set to arrive for the 2011 model year. The redesign will consist of mainly minor cosmetic changes – basically and nip tuck here and there – and will incorporate new front and rear bumpers. Also an inside source has speculated that the [...]
