Cupra has been snapped testing a hotter version of the next-generation Seat Leon ST, likely with all-wheel drive and more than 220kW.
The most noticeable differences between the Seat Leon and the Cupra model come at the back, where there's quad exhaust pipes and a racy diffuser-style insert.
An Audi Q3 prototype believed to be a plug-in hybrid variant has been spied testing in sunny Europe this week, previewing the first electrified variant of the company's new-generation SUV.
Likely to be dubbed 'TFSI e', as is Audi's new name structure for its plug-in hybrid models, the Q3 PHEV is expected to pair a four-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with an electric motor and lithium-ion battery pack – good for around 50km of electric driving on the WLTP cycle.

The next-generation Skoda Octavia wagon has been spied with very little disguise this week, ahead of its debut in Frankfurt later this year.
Despite already straddling the small and medium segments, the Octavia looks set to grow even larger than the current model, most likely to give more space to the new Scala hatchback.
The Octavia will ride on a revised version of the Volkswagen Group's MQB platform, set to underpin the next-gen versions of the Audi A3 and Volkswagen Golf.
The hotly-anticipated 2020 Mk8 Volkswagen Golf has been snapped during testing, revealing its high-tech new interior design.
Set to launch later this year (or early next), the Golf will wade into battle with a variation of the dual-screen infotainment system debuted in the Touareg.
There's a fully digital instrument binnacle in front of the driver, flanked by a large touchscreen infotainment system – in the Touareg, the central screen measures 15 inches diagonally.
