Killed young, the 919 Hybrid might never reach legend status alongside the likes of the 956, but that hasn't stopped Porsche rolling both cars out side-by-side. Last week, the company used the VLN 24 Hour race to show off its now-defunct hybrid racer at a 25.2-kilometre lap around the combined Grand Prix and Nordschleife circuit.

A development vehicle believed to be the new Porsche 911 Speedster has been spotted during hot-weather testing in Southern Europe. Spotted in convoy with several Porsche GT models including the 911 GT3 and GT3 RS, the prototype wears a similar body and wheel/tyre package to the hardtop GT variants, though with the absence of a fixed rear wing and, obviously, the retractable fabric roof.

The first all-electric, mass-produced Audi – the e-tron – has been snapped on the Nurburgring, continuing the long buildup to its full launch later this year. Here's what we know about the e-tron, which officially launches on August 30. In prototype form, it offers more than 500km of range on a full charge, and hits 100km/h in 4.6 seconds. Top speed is limited to 210km/h – all of which is similar to the Jaguar I-Pace, the car's most natural rival ahead of the Mercedes-Benz EQC and BMW iX3.

Cheryl Hall thought her late husband's prized Lamborghini Espada was still in the shed of their country New South Wales property, but it had been stolen and advertised at a ridiculously low price months before she even noticed it was missing.

The next-generation Audi RS Q3 has been spied again at the Nurburgring, ahead of an anticipated debut later this year. Few changes have been made to this prototype compared to the last one spotted at the 'Ring, though photographers noted that this vehicle was driving at a similar time to an RS3 and sounded the same – suggesting a five-cylinder powerplant will reside under the bonnet.
