While they look pretty close, they're actually renderings commissioned by MyAutomovil.com and not leaked press photos. Sorry folks, you'll have to endure through more of Ford's teasing strip show to continue before the official unveil of the 2010 Mustang next month at the LA Auto Show.

    First Lamborghini Estoque Concept Live Shots: A Four-Door For Profit!

    The long unveil process is finally over, and here’s the four-door Lamborghini Estoque Concept, live and in the flesh. We’d love to tell you more about Lambo’s second ever four-door, and their first ever "four-door sports car" but since they haven’t even made up their minds about which engine it’ll have (anything from a big TDI to the Gallardo LP 560-4’s V10), there’s just not much to say. Looks better live than in the press shots though. And just in case you were wondering: we totally would.

    2009 Audi S4 Sedan, Avant Revealed Ahead Of Paris

    We've been showered with photos and details of the new Audi S4 Sedan and Audi S4 Avant ahead of the official Paris unveiling and the numbers do look good. Using supercharging and direct injection, the folks in Ingolstadt have managed to squeeze 333 HP out of the 3.0-liter V6, good for a 5.1 second 0-to-62 run while still returning an average of 24 MPG. S4 buyers will also get a seven-speed S-Tronic gearbox, Quattro all-wheel drive and the standard-issue array of electronic nannies keeping everything in line. Still, if this S4 runs as well as the specs suggest, we can't wait to get some seat time. Full press release after the jump. More »

    2009 Volkswagen Golf VI, Reviewed

    While we’re were busy salivating over the 62 MPG VW Golf BlueMotion, our friends at Popular Mechanics were in Iceland putting the regular 2009 Volkswagen Golf VI through its paces. “We just improved the old car," VW’s board member for product development told them. And that’s exactly what PM found, reporting that it’s basically a Mark V with revised looks, a much better interior, new engines and better handling. Those engines are the most interesting thing. According to PM, the US market Golf VI (or the Rabbit, as it's called here) will definitely be getting the 2.0-liter TDI and maybe, just maybe, the 1.4-liter TSI turbocharged, supercharged gasoline engine that’s capable of both 0-60 in 8 seconds and returning 39.2 MPG.

    10 Strangest Cars Revealed At The 2008 Beijing Motor Show

    The Beijing Motor Show traditionally warrants nothing more than a collective "meh" from the mainstream automotive media, but it certainly caught our attention this year. Bigger and better than ever, automakers from China and abroad have done everything to bring attention to their cars but put a gigantic stuffed elephant in one. Oh, no, wait. They've done that, too. But why shouldn't they show off — as the Chinese market continues to mature into it's teenage years, we've watched it shed some of the awkwardness of puberty, but still manage to showcase that youthful wide-eyed optimism with some truly innovative, unique and beautiful concepts. Still, like pimples, a cracking voice and a random desire for adorning oneself with chrome bits n' pieces, this teen still shows off it's rebellious side with vehicles that are completely bizarre, ridiculous knock-offs of popular designs or in most instances, both. Follow us below the jump through as we watch the coming of age tale that is the 2008 Beijing Motor Show. More »

    VW Unveils Olympics Edition Beetles for Beijing Games

    The people's car will be playing an automotive role during the people's games of this summers Beijing Olympics. Volkswagen is the exclusive automotive sponsor of the upcoming smoggy games and New Beetles will be the official shuttle for all manner of Olympic official and Government overseer. What you have here are the winning submissions from Volkswagens Vmagination online Olympic art car design campaign, held in China. Adding these snazzy paint jobs to the long-in-the-tooth bug will make them a bit more visible to the spectators and cameras alike. We think this is a pretty savvy move for VW, since this will probably be the most watched Olympics in quite a while. More »

    Prodrive's 2008 F1 Car to Roll Out at Year's End

    It's no secret UK motorsports firm Prodrive will be throwing its rally-tested monkeywrench into the Formula One machine in 2008. Now, company boss Dave Richards says the company's F1 car will roll out in December 2007. Whether or not the car will be the basis for a Prodrive-supported B-team sponsored by McLaren — which has been reported widely since mid-2006 — remains to be seen. Richards is mum on that deal, though says the team's looking for a partner to supply an engine and chassis. Now, as Germany's Express newspaper reports, McLaren's Ron Dennis could use some of the cash raised from selling McLaren shares to purchase a stake in Prodrive. Those guys are totally BFFs. – Mike Spinelli More »

    Foosin' Camaro: Tag-Team '69 Ready for Closeup

    Got $124,000 burning a hole in your Tommy Bahamas, pops? Time to grab up one of these Foose-Designed Camaros from Unique Performance. With the team shooting for a piece of the turnkey pro-touring market (that's the group making over old cars with modern tech), the six-figure'd '69s are likely fine cars, if not quite one-of-a-kind specimens. Buyers get a choice of 350 hp ZZ4 V8, 390 hp 6.0 Gen IV LS2 V8 or 572 cid /620 hp big block V8, hooked to a Tremec TKO five-speed manual and 18" wheels. Inside, the 'maros are appointed with Foose-designed seats and leather Interior, four-point roll cage and five-point harness Old Air Hurricane A/C System, nav system and more such toys. Better than new, sure. But we're holding out for a $200,000 Olds Vista Cruiser. – Mike Spinelli More »

    Clubman Waiting in the Sky: More on Mini's Wagon

    AutoExpress is adding its two quid to the Mini Clubman debate. AE pluralizes the coming model's half-sized rear door(s), which insiders have said will be in singular — that is, passenger side (US) only. (Of course, that could be a typo.) They also say the rear window is split down the middle, while the license plate will fall to the bumper. They also say the Mini will take the Traveller name, though we've already heard trademark issues will press the Clubman into service blowing our minds. Let all the children boogie. More »

    Lutz on New Camaro: 100,000 or Bust

    GM's Chairman of Vice (or something like that) Bob Lutz says the company's thinking of a number from one to a million. That number (ok, it's 100,000) will be the number of Camaros Chevrolet has to sell to make a production version of the company's new, high-profile concept viable. The new Camaro hasn't been approved yet, according to Lutz — who's fast becoming the king of expectations management — but considering Ford sold about 160,000 models Mustangs last year, we'd imagine it's an achievable goal.

    General Sensible?: GM to Slowpedal Saturn Sky Marketing Until Production Ramp-up

    New GM Rule #12: Don't market the hell out of a new car two years before the first deliveries arrive. (We have no idea what rules one through 11 are, but we're almost sure they exist.) With Pontiac Solstice buyers still wondering what space-time tear their cars have fallen into, GM is vowing not to make the same mistake with Saturn Sky prospects. That means it'll roll out advertising of the Sky slowly, until it has supply enough to meet the demand. The General learning from its mistakes? Woo! Only six more signs of the apocalypse to go.

    Healey Marque Even Closer to Rebirth

    The Anglo-American consortium that owns Healey Automobile Consultants Ltd. announced it's moving forward with new models inspired by the Healey 3000, in convertible and coupe versions. The company, HFI released a sketch and a partial image of the coupe, which shows a badge reminicent of the original Austin-Healey logo. The company will badge the cars as Healey, not Austin-Healey, which is a separate legal trademark owned by the Healey group and Nanjing Auto, the new owner of MG Rover. The company said it's taking deposits on the cars, of which 203 are scheduled to be built. At some point. More »

    First Shots of 2007 Toyota RAV4

    The buon' homies over at Autoblog.it directed us to a shot of Toyota's newly redesigned third-generation RAV4, which are official, but reportedly under press embargo until Monday. The new Ravvie will have more space than the can of kippers (do they come in a can?) on which the current RAV's legroom is modeled, though we've yet to hear confirmation of a V6. The RAV4 goes on sale in the UK in spring 2006. (For those who follow European-bound minicars, there's also a shot of the new Yaris, which means "everybody inhale" in Latin.) More »

    Fiat Group Goes on Product Rampage

    Fiat is reportedly spending its f-you billionz from GM, and several billionz more of its own money, on 20 product redesigns, 23 facelifts and five entirely new model lines, in an attempt to reinvigorate the company and reverse its sagging fortunes. Among new product lines include a new 500 (Cinquecento), which will likely be a throwback to the famously cute 500s of yore, and a new, upmarket Alfa Romeo model more costly than its current range-topping 166 sedan. The speculation play of the year is Alfa Romeo's return to the US, on the back of its new Fiat Group sibling, Maserati, which is soon to be unhinged from Ferrari. Fear not, Alfaheads, it'll all be clear soon. More »
