For the third year in a row, Mercedes-Benz has used the Motorclassica Exhibition in Melbourne to unveil a new car. In 2013 it was the S-Class saloon, and the S-Class coupe debuted in 2014. This year, Mercedes will not only reveal a new model, but a new nameplate for Australia.

The programme for Melbourne's 2015 Motorclassica is growing, with news this week that BMW will showcase the recent M4 GTS and 3.0 CSL Hommage R concepts, while Ferrari will celebrate its classic Dino. The M4 GTS has already been revealed in its limited-edition production form overseas, but it's the (largely identical) concept version we'll see in Melbourne.

Lexus will unveil a secret new styling concept at this month’s Tokyo motor show, hinting at the next stage in its evolving styling language. Production models in the growing Lexus range have revealed progressively polarising styling, introducing sharper lines and an ever-widening look to the brand’s ‘spindle grille’ design.

A lightly revised version of the Nissan Concept 2020 Vision Gran Turismo will be featured on the company's stage at the 2015 Tokyo motor show. An earlier version of the car had a grey paint job and made its debut at the 2014 Goodwood Festival of Speed. The updated vehicle is painted an eye-catching shade of red, dubbed "fire knight".

Honda has whipped the covers off the tentatively named FCV (fuel cell vehicle) – a production-ready, hydrogen-powered family sedan – ahead of its unveiling at this month’s Tokyo motor show. Revealed in this single image, the FCV (which will be renamed before it hits the market) takes plenty of design inspiration from the FCV concept that debuted late last year.
