Here's what our man with the long lens told us: "We believe it's a Ford and it was driving together with a current Fiesta with German plates from Cologne (K- ) which indicates the European base test center. And the size is about the same as the current Fiesta, just slightly smaller."

Although Audi calls it the new A8, spy-photos have revealed a very similar silhouette to the current model, so it's a facelift instead of a new generation. The headlights shown in our opening picture really match those on the camouflaged prototypes, so we're guessing that's exactly what the refreshed A8's "eyes" will look like.

In fact, the values and differences presented in the study really shocked us, especially the most extreme ones like the Mercedes-Benz GL, which according to the information presented, should really only be bought as a diesel.

A shocking accident that took place at the 2013 Gran Turismo Polonia race in Poznan, western Poland, on Sunday, when the driver of Koenigsegg CCX supercar lost control and smashed into the crowd, left at least 17 people injured, according to reports from local news stations.

As expected, the Australians didn't return home empty handed, with their Ute setting a world record for a commercial and utility vehicle – a category that didn't exist before, it has to be said.

With that of out the way, let's see what we have here. Well, for starters, the spotter tells us it was purportedly photographed in the city of Neijiang in southeastern China and that it obviously apes the design of the V12-motivated Aventador.

The following onboard video of the stunning 8 minute and 13.878 second climb may help us understand how that was possible. Although when you combine one of rallying's most successful world champions ever and a car that boasts a power-to-weight ratio of 1hp/kg, it's not very difficult to imagine such an outcome.

On July 4, 2013, the Volvo Duett celebrates its 60th anniversary, as on the same day in 1953, Volvo produced its first 445 Duett. Based on the 445 chassis, the first Duett was bought by none other than Volvo's boss at the time, Assar Gabrielsson.

It was not the first time Cadillac was testing the public's reaction about a flagship model, as in 2003 the V16-powered Cadillac Sixteen wowed fans and journalists alike.

However, for me, the thing that made any Octavia cool was the fact that you could get it as an RS (vRS for those living in Britain). Even cooler was that from the very first generation onward, they also made it available as a hot estate, a real kudos-builder in Europe, where people just seem to like their kind.

However, looking at these two teaser shots, one could see a funky supermini, with clearly Micra roots, at least in terms of the overall proportions, and definitely very similar underpinnings. Currently unnamed, the project goes by the internal designation 'K2', and should sell well in the "emerging markets" of the world, but it is primarily aimed for the Indian market.

There were three cars spotted at the press-book photo session, two Cooper S models finished in light orange and gunmetal grey shades respectively, and a regular Cooper in red paint with a white roof, stripes and mirrors.

As we've mentioned many times in the past in our scoop posts, the 2014 Mini hatchback evolves the series' signature looks that were inspired by the original model penned by Greek-British car designer Sir Alec Isigonis.

The most visible changes concern the front end that is directly inspired from the 2011 Mini Rocketman, a concept for an even smaller Mini hatchback that never came into fruition, with bug-eye, LED-equipped headlamps and a new interpretation of the firm's grille. The front windshield also looks more raked while at the back, we see that Mini's designers used much larger and prominent taillights.

At a first (and second…) glance, it appears to be legit, though, a quick look at the galleries we've posted of the hatchback version of the Mazda3 reveals an identical image of the five-door model. So, what is it; real or fake?

For instance, this year, "newcomer" Sebastien Loeb managed to win by shaving more than a minute and a half off last year's 9:46.164 time, set by Rhys Millen!
