The Mercedes-AMG GT R Pro will debut at the 2018 Los Angeles motor show, alongside a revised mainstream range. The new GT R Pro will be a limited-edition model.

Porsche has issued a new teaser image for its upcoming 2019 911, revealing the car will maintain its familiar silhouette. Surprised? Us neither. Set for reveal at the Los Angeles motor show later this month, the '992' 911 has been spied a multitude of times in various states of undress. Based on those images, we know the car will get slimmer tail-lights with a clear cover, along with a diffuser and exhaust treatment in keeping with the Panamera, Macan and Cayenne.

Toyota USA has given a first look at the new Avalon TRD and Camry TRD on social media, ahead of a full reveal at the Los Angeles motor show later this month. Unveiled as part of a '#TRDtakeover' Facebook video series, the TRD-fettled sedans appear to be more or less styling and suspension packages, including body kits, wings, wheels, and sportier interior trims.

Toyota has hinted at the availability of all-wheel drive in its updated 2019 Prius, set to be unveiled later this month at the Los Angeles motor show.

Toyota has used the São Paulo motor show in Brazil to reveal the HiLux GR Sport, a sport-themed version of its top-selling ute featuring various enhancements from the company's Gazoo Racing performance division. Before you ask, it's not a Ranger Raptor rival. The HiLux GR Sport is more or less a visual and equipment package rather than a standalone performance variant – much like the dark-themed Rogue available locally.
