For the very first time, we can take an unobstructed look at BMW’s new 2 Series Coupe, seen here as an M235i model (think of it as an M135i with a boot and a prettier face). As you know, BMW’s new naming strategy means that what was previously known as the 1 Series Coupe and [...]
A BMW i8 prototype goes to Dubai for some exotic testing. The folks over at crankandpiston spotted an i8 test mule at AGMC BMW showroom in Dubai. The lightweight i8 goes on sale in 2014 and weighs 1450 kilograms, thanks to extensive use of carbon fiber design elements and cockpit. The hybrid sportscar is powered [...]
The Mazda6 will soon give birth (figuratively speaking, of course, but you get our point) to the all-new 2014 Mazda3 Hatch, which could arrive on North American shores as early as this fall, according to a trio of talkative U.S.-based Mazda dealers, and in Europe, possibly early next year. If true, look for the new [...]
Hello, what’s this? While many of us were out enjoying the spring weather, @evleaks was busy posting photos of an unknown LG smartphone that, if real, represents a notable shift in the Korean company’s design language. The device shares the Nexus 4‘s slightly curvy outline and lack of front-facing hardware buttons, but appears to have [...]
Over the past years, the Nürburgring has become something of a Holy Grail for automakers that want to hone their upcoming cars, and in some instances, even brag about their lap times. In its most recent outing to the Nordschleife circuit, Aston Martin brought along the drop-top version of its new Vanquish, which, like all [...]
KGP PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MANUFACTURER What It Is: This camouflaged Subaru prototype is one of three things: a non-WRX, sporty Impreza variant; a thinly disguised and production-ready next-gen WRX or WRX STI; or a mule created to test the WRX’s powertrain and cooling. We think the final option is the most likely, as it combines [...]
KGP PHOTOGRAPHY AND THE MANUFACTURER What It Is: New spy shots of the BMW 2-series, which will replace the 1-series coupe and convertible. The 2-series lineup eventually will include both body styles, and they will look less like the current rear-drive 1-series hatchback than ever before, including a unique front-end treatment. The design scheme allows [...]
A BMW i8 prototype was spied in Munich this week during a testing session. BMW’s first hybrid sportscar will come to market in 2014, as the second vehicle to emerge from the new BMW i sub-brand. The sporty two-door model uses two different drive systems – an electric motor and an internal combustion engine. The [...]
We know it’s about a year away from being revealed, but the 2015 Ford Mustang probably is the debut to watch for next year. Tantalizingly, we’ve been fed a steady diet of spy photos showing smidgens of the next-gen car’s design and its possible independent rear suspension—and now along comes this photo, which clearly shows a heavily [...]
A production ready BMW 4 Series was spied at the Schiphol airpot in Amsterdam. It remains unknown where the 4 Series is heading but some people are already speculating that the car is heading to the Shanghai Auto Show. The 4 Series Coupe spied here sports very light camouflage and it’s already revealing some of [...]
The clock is ticking for the presentation of the first production model of BMW’s newly formed “i” sub-brand, the i3 supermini that will be followed by the more expensive and upscale i8 sports coupe. Sales of the i3 hatchback are scheduled to start in the first quarter next year with BMW to offer the car [...]
The upcoming BMW 4 Series Coupe has been spied once again. With just a few months before its debut, the new 4 Series enters the Final Evaluation Phase where prototypes are being driven around with less camouflage. Just a few days ago we saw the F32 435 with M Sport Package, a prototype we initially [...]
With just a few months left before its market debut, the new F32 BMW 4 Series is going through the final testing stages. FEP vehicles, short for Final Evaluation Program, have been spied in Germany and gives us a look at the M435i model with the M Sport Package and Estoril Blue color. In order [...]
How does a US carrier get around AT&T’s exclusivity of the Lumia 920? Why, it releases an exclusive of its own, of course. News of the Lumia 928 is probably familiar to many of you, which has been rumored (and spotted in inventory systems) as an upscale Windows Phone for Verizon. Now, things just got [...]
A production-ready BMW i3 test mule was spied near the Leipzig plant. By looking at the spy photos we can see the tank cover on the front right fender which indicates a prototype with the REx Range Extender, similar to the one we caught while refueling near Arjeplog. The small engine increases the range of [...]
