BMW will show off the range of M Performance Parts available for the M2 – and some that aren't yet available – at the Goodwood Festival of Speed, with the grey-and-gold M Performance Parts Concept. The most noticeable changes to the base M2 come in the form of BMW M Performance carbon-fibre pieces, which help shave more than 60kg from its kerb weight.

The facelifted Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupe has been spied this week, ahead of an anticipated reveal either late this year or early next. Like the updated GLC wagon spotted a week ago, this prototype for the facelifted coupe version sports new headlights, tail-lights and bumpers, which will make up the majority of the cosmetic upgrades. It also appears the shape of the grille will be slightly revised, though the exact shape is difficult to see through the grey tape.

Kitted out with a new colourful disguise for the front and rear end, the Volkswagen T-Cross has been teased and detailed ahead of its debut in the not-too-distant future. Measuring just 4107mm long and 1558mm tall long, the T-Cross is shorter from bumper to bumper, but taller than the T-Roc, which is 4178mm long and 1501mm tall.

Kia has made the bold move of switching tyre allegiance for Stinger GT models in Australia, ditching Continental for Michelin. We first reported we were unimpressed with the longevity of the Continental ContiSport Contact 5 tyres fitted to the Stinger GT when we tested it against the Holden Commodore SS-V Redline last year. The tyres showed signs of excessive wear under hard driving, and we actually destroyed a (very young) set after shooting dynamic images.
