Aston Martin has offered the first glimpse at its upcoming Project 003 hypercar, set to hit the market late in 2021.

The all-new Ford Escape is due to be revealed soon, and new details have come to light regarding the powertrains that will be available.

Audi has launched a new 45 TDI variant of its Q8 in Europe this week, joining the 50 TDI and 55 TFSI in the overseas line-up.
The 45 TDI is essentially a de-tuned version of the 3.0-litre V6 turbo-diesel with the same 48V mild-hybrid technology offered in the 50 TDI, making 170kW and 500Nm in this application. Peak torque is available from 1370-4500rpm.
According to the four-ringed marque, the Q8 45 TDI will do 0-100km/h in 7.1 seconds, on its way to a top speed of 233km/h.
The updated Opel Insignia – known locally as the Holden Commodore – has been snapped by photographers this week in Europe, giving an early look as to what to expect from the mid-life refresh.
From what we can see in the images, the Commodore/Insignia has most of its changes focused around the front end, with minimal camouflage at the rear.
We're expecting the main revisions to be focused on the front bumper and grille, along with the headlights.
Ford Performance has unveiled the new-generation Focus ST this week, ahead of an Australian launch early next year.
