The new-generation 2019 Toyota Avalon has been teased this week, ahead of its global unveiling at the 2018 Detroit motor show in January. Just a single image showing part of the large sedan's front end has been released so far, highlighted by the new model's LED daytime-running light signature. There also appears to be a very aggressive front intake nestled in a bold bumper, flanked by upright slits.

Morgan Motor Company has teased a race-inspired version of the Aero, set to be fully unveiled at the Geneva motor show next year. Just eight examples of the "gloves off" Aero GT will be built, marking the end of Aero 8 production at Morgan's factory on Pickersleigh Road, Worcestershire. Perhaps unsurprisingly, all eight are already sold to existing customers. Each car will be developed in tandem with the owner, meaning no two will be the same.

Is your Ford Mustang GT a little boring? Maybe the Roush 729 concept can give you some inspiration. Created as a concept for this year's SEMA show, the Roush 729 is a supercharged, wide-body version of the iconic Ford pony car, finished in eye-catching Grabber Green - used on just 95 Mustang Boss 429s were painted in 1970.

The Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 convertible made its public debut overnight, under lights at the 2017 Los Angeles motor show. The first drop-top Corvette ZR1 since 1970, the latest ZR1 convertible weighs 27-kilograms more than its fixed roof relative. According to Chevrolet, most of this is down to the folding roof mechanism, which can be operated remotely and works at driving speeds up to 48km/h (30mph).

Mazda has taken the wraps off the 2018 Mazda 6 at the 2017 Los Angeles motor show, debuting revised styling and the addition of a turbocharged petrol engine. The push toward a more premium design has been driven by customer demand, with the brand confirming around 61 per cent of Mazda CX-9 vehicles sold in Australia are top-specification GT or Azami models.
