A recent screen grab from the Audi parts catalogue ‘ETKA’ lists a 184kW/250PS Audi A1 quattro. Let’s assume for a moment that the listing is 100% accurate; that’s quite a lot of power for a little A1. Best guesses would say that any such engine would be found wearing an S1 or RS1 badge. We [...]
The voice at the start of this official Porsche promo video states, “You’re going to like this.” The new 316kW Panamera GTS is designed to be a GT cruiser, able to eat up and spit out autobahn miles at a rate almost beyond comprehension.

Audi has released images and information for its five-door A1 Sportback, which will go on sale in Australia around the middle of next year. It’s pretty much the same as the three-door A1 we liked so much when drove it last year. The roofline is 16mm taller and there’s a fraction more rear leg room. [...]

Steve Sutcliffe from Autocar brings us one of the first video reviews of the new F30 3 Series. It’s arguably BMW’s most important model, one they can’t afford to mess up. Sutcliffe is at the wheel of a 180kW 2.0 litre turbocharged 328i Sport with optional 8-speed auto. He likes the handling and reckons the [...]
The photo above showing building progress at the Circuit of the Americas in Austin, Texas, was taken one week ago.
