Toyota reveals a little more of the Yaris Hybrid-R concept

Toyota confirms what we already knew. The special hybrid car that is going to be shown at the Frankfurt Motor Show is based on the Yaris. I am almost certain this car won't be produced, but the technology used in it might find its way into a production model, possibly the new Supra, but that is unknown for now.

Nissan Terrano returns. It's a clone of the Dacia Duster

Back in June, Nissan announced they were going to bring back the Terrano and that it was going to be based on the Renault/Dacia Duster. This is done thanks to the partnership between Renault and Nissan, allowing the Japanese company to save a lot of money in the development of such a car.

BMW creates a concept car for the Gran Turismo 6 video game

In early December, Sony will launch the sixth version of the popular game, Gran Turismo. BMW will take part in the launch with a virtual concept car exclusively made for this game that celebrates 15 years.

Ferrari reveals the 458 Speciale. Doesn't name it Stradale or Montecarlo

And what a machine this is. The 458 Speciale has the most powerful atmospheric engine ever produced by the Italian brand. The 4.5-liter V8 generates an impressive 605PS (445kW or 597bhp) @9000rpm and 540Nm (398lb/ft) @6000rpm, allowing the car to accelerate from 0 to 100km/h (62mph) in 3 seconds and will take 9.1 seconds to reach 200km/h (124mph) from standstill.

Official: Meet the facelifted Audi A8 and S8 [Video]

This small redesign greatly improved the appearance of the top of the range Audi. The front now features a squarer grille, a new hood, a redesigned bumper, and the innovative Matrix LED headlight technology that was heavily promoted over the past weeks. At the back, Audi changed the bumper that now includes two rhomboid tailpipes (except S8), and the LED tail lights have become flatter.

First official images of the Opel Monza Concept appear online [Updated]

Our good friends from Russia did it again. For the hundredth time they reveal the official images of a car before its official presentation. This time its the Opel (or if you prefer, Vauxhall) Monza that got to be leaked ahead of its official reveal which was scheduled for the Frankfurt Motor Show next month.

Lexus teases a new car. Could this be the RC?

The Lexus RC and RC-F have been caught testing on several occasions in recent weeks, indicating a presentation is getting nearer, and with this teaser i am sure we will see it next month at the Frankfurt Motor Show. For those who aren't aware of this, the RC is the coupe version of the Lexus IS.

And here it is, the 300PS Volkswagen Golf R

This didn't take long. One day after Volkswagen showed the first teaser, the new Golf R gets its official reveal. And it is a little bit disappointing. I know Volkswagen has a very conservative approach to their cars, but the new R is in the top of the range in the Golf lineup and deserved a more aggressive styling. But i will let you comment on the darkened LED headlamps and tail lights, redesigned bumpers, and the new 18-inch wheels (with optional 19-inch wheels).

A new supercar is born. Meet the Laraki Motors Epitome Concept

The Pebble Beach Concours d'Elegance had one last surprise for us. We all thought that Laraki Motors was dead, since the last time we heard anything from them was in 2008. But now the Moroccan based company, owned by Abdeslam Laraki who is engaged in the construction of yachts, revealed this beast.

Volkswagen teases the new Golf R, Will it have 300PS? [HQ Picture]

This was unexpected. With so many new cars having their official reveal scheduled for September at the Frankfurt Motor Show, it surprises me that Volkswagen is now starting to tease the Golf R. That is exactly why i believe it will be revealed in Frankfurt, supposedly with 300PS (296bhp or 221kW).
