YouTube user Augustin Kuntz had the unfortunate experience of not only witnessing an accident take place right in front of his eyes while driving his 993 generation (the one built from 1993 to 1998) Porsche 911 at highway speeds, but also having to deal with and avoid being part of it.

You might have to rewind and watch the video again to see exactly what happened when an older Renault Clio somehow shot across the highway hitting another car that ended up in the bushes.

Given that the 993 isn't exactly the easiest car to handle in these sudden situations, we think Kuntz did pretty good in our books. What do you say?

Merci monsieur Benjamin V.!

In January 2011, it was the Mitsubishi CS study and in May this year, he shared his vision for the evolved Mitsubishi CS-21. Now, he has sent us a third version of the series, dubbed "Koruto", which Farkas says, "means Colt in Japanese".

The Koruto is a further and more complete development of the CS-21 with better artwork, an interior as well as modified aesthetics. However, to be completely frank, looking at all three of his proposals, I think that the first one with the less rounded shape and aggressive shark-nose design was the best looking one of the bunch – what do you think?

Below you will find Farka's thought process on his latest Colt concept car.

[From Gabor Farkas]

"Mitsubishi Koruto Concept is the third member of a series. Following the Concept CS (2011) and the CS-21 (2013) this car is a modern interpretation of the 90's Colt/Mirage CA.

The Koruto Concept gets the closest to the original. All the lines of the CA have been repeated on the concept car in a different way.

Though it uses many parts from it, the Koruto Concept is intended to be a high-end mutation of the Mirage/Space Star. The steering wheel, the interior door handles, the seat consoles may be the same but the entire exterior and interior all over shows much more than an entry level supermini can.

The external chromium mouldings that run around the lower part of the body and the waist-line or the interior finishes, upholstery and design elements were designed to meet high standards.

The cockpit can be familiar as well. The middle console with the typical lines used in the CA appears in a fresh, modern shape covered with high-gloss lacquer.

While designing this car, the main goal was to make it look as production-ready as can be. Not only the proportions are similar to those of the 2014 Mirage (Space Star in Europe), but the wheelbase, the front and track is identical with the production car. The exterior dimensions of the Koruto Concept are 3699 mm (length), 1655 mm (width) and 1410 mm (height). So it slightly shorter and wider which strengthens the sportier look."

The favored color choices of Ford Mustang owners have shifted dramatically in the past 50 years. As television went from black-and-white to color, Mustang reflected the incoming fashion trends with a palette of vibrant colors.

Currently, black is the best-selling Mustang exterior paint color, up 10 percent over the last decade to account for 28 percent of all 2013 Mustangs sold. Yet, between 1967 and 1973 only about 1.5 percent of customers ordered their Mustang black.

Mustang buyers don't always seem to care for trends. While white is the best-selling vehicle color in the U.S. today, only 10 percent of Mustangs sold now are painted in this color.

In the early years, though, blue was the most popular shade, reaching a peak of 30 percent of all cars in 1968 when six different finishes were offered for the exterior. In recent years, the availability of shades like Grabber Blue and Kona Blue have helped that primary color capture as much as 23 percent of sales in recent years.

Other early favorites like green, yellow and brown didn't have the same fate. Green and yellow have mostly been found on limited edition Mustangs like the Bullitt and Boss 302 while the last brown Mustangs were built in 1989.

In addition to typical colors, Mustang has been offered in various specialty shades ranging from Playboy Pink in 1967 and the color-shifting Mystichrome on the 2004 SVT Cobra to today's 'Gotta Have It Green'.

The following review comes from Germany's Ausfahrt.tv (don't worry, it's in English) and tackles many of the i3's features, including mundane stuff like storage spaces, interior room and practicality.

However, the i3 is still a BMW, so the driving experience is what interests most people. The blogger liked the way the i3 drives in the city and noted that it's very smooth and silent while being pretty quick as well.

Given that the BMW i3 rides on ultra-thin 19-inch wheels, it comes as a surprise that the suspension offers a good compromise between comfort and sportiness - always according to the reviewer. The car has many storage spaces and plenty of room inside, except in the back, where the two seats don't look like they're suitable for large people.

You can find out more about the i3 from the review posted below.

When mated to the automatic transmission, the new 2.8-liter Duramax 2 diesel engine develops 197 hp (200PS) and a maximum 500 Nm (369 lb-ft) of torque.

For the 2014 Colorado, Holden also introduces a new six-speed manual transmission that is standard across the Colorado truck range. When paired with the manual gearbox, the new diesel engine produces 197 hp (200 PS) and 440 Nm (324 lb-ft), available from 1,600 rpm to 2,800 rpm.

The 2014 Holden Colorado also introduces new chassis control systems such as Trailer Sway Control and Hill Start Assist across the entire Colorado and Colorado 7 range, as well as a Descent Control System on all models except the DX trim.

In terms of safety, both the SUV and the truck now come with front side impact airbags as standard for all LX, LT and LTZ models and Rear Park Assist and a rear camera for all Colorado 7 models and the Colorado LTZ.

Another new addition is the 7-inch color touchscreen, which is standard across Colorado LX, LT and LTZ models and Colorado 7 range. Holden's MyLink infotainment system allows drivers to connect to Bluetooth and access apps.

Holden also offers new genuine accessories for the two models, including an alloy SuperBar, steel bullbar, black nudge and sports bars.

This is not a new idea, and proof of this is the common Renegade Hybrids kit it uses that contains engine mounts and other necessary bits to make the swap operation more straightforward.

It's up on Craigslist, going for $25,000 in San Diego, California, and the seller says the main incentive for going to all the trouble of putting a new engine in it was reliability. The original six-pot the car came with, model M96, is apparently prone to suffering any number of failures, the most common of which is the intermediate shaft (bearing) failure, while the LS1 motor, which runs an LS6 oil pump, an LS3 water pump and LS2 timing chain, will have far fewer such worries and cheaper fixes.

According to the seller, there's no bad news associated with it as it's lighter (we can't vouch for that claim) and is said to make around 100 lb-ft / 135 Nm and 50 hp more than stock. Two notable downsides mentioned are the loss of the air-con and power steering.

Exterior modifications give this car a unique feel, in particular the wider body panels from the period Turbo, the lower stance and more pronounced camber (courtesy of a K-sport coilover kit) finished off by tasteful factory Turbo wheels. The owner rates the overall state as an eight out of ten "for its age," so it may possibly need some minor jobs done,

Whatever you think of this swap job, there's no denying it's a conversation starter, and if you explain the reasoning behind it, chances are that even those who might have opposed it at first will sway your way.

One of those strange happenings occurred on a Texas highway the other day when a…horse entered the road. YouTube user Blake Hannah caught the incident on film - once he turned the camera away from himself and his charming female passenger, that is.

"Pulled up behind this horse on I-35 and blocked traffic while the Ft Worth police did their thing," he said in the video's description box. And the cops did their job indeed, pulling the horse over (or so to speak) and away from danger's harm.

See how it happened in the videos below.

The publication said that during the two months that Chrysler started production of the cars, and while its engineers were working on the problems that popped up, it built around 23,000 Cherokees, which is double the number mentioned in another recent report.

Nevertheless, customers have been flocking Jeep stores asking for the new Cherokee, according to dealers like Josh Towbin, co-owner of Las Vegas-based Towbin Automotive, who said: "Demand has been good. We've been asked every single day when it's going to arrive, and we're going to take every one we can get."

From what we understand (since Chrysler hasn't really been open about it), the biggest problem that caused the delay in the 2014 Cherokee's launch was an issue with the new nine-speed automatic transmission's software.

In the randomly selected case of the 2014 Audi A8/S8, you can see the bone line running from low on the front bumper (lip), then continuing along the side through the middle of the fuel filler cap door, greatly emphasizing the slightly tapered profile, especially when viewed from the very common front three-quarter perspective.

This distinction was made clear(er) via examples in a new video on automotive design uploaded by Autoline Daily. It goes into when and how this design feature gained popularity, and which cars it was first used on. The idea was that it wasn't possible to get the effect on cars that had separate wheel pods (like on most 1930s and 1940s vehicles), so it was only from the late 40s onward that it began gaining ground.

When it comes to modern cars, the great majority have clearly defined bone and shoulder lines that set the tone for the proportions and the basic body shape. However, only ones that are truly designed to stand out tend to accentuate these two lines purely to attract attention by making the body look chiseled and aggressive (both desirable traits on the showroom floor).

Launched in 2010, the Honda CR-Z was criticized for its relatively low combined output of 122hp and average performance, although the Japanese carmaker billed it as a "sport hybrid coupe". The car combines a hybrid powertrain with a manual gearbox (a first for a series production hybrid). In 2012, Honda upped the car's combined output to 135 hp, but that didn't result in a sales boom.

The CR-Z seems to be missing the point, as it's neither fast (0-100 km/h takes 9.1 seconds in the Sport model) nor economical enough for a hybrid. Honda's claimed average fuel economy is 5 l/100 km (56.6 mpg UK/47 mpg US), which doesn't quite justify paying a premium for the hybrid technology.

The Honda Insight failed to impress Europeans as well, despite being much more frugal than the CR-Z, at 4.1 l/100 km (68.9 mpg UK/57.3 mpg US) and 96 g/km of CO2. That is still behind the segment's leader, the Toyota Prius, which claims 3.9 l/100 km (72.4 mpg UK/60.3 mpg US) and 89 g/km of CO2.

The good news is that Honda's new Jazz hybrid and the upcoming NSX hybrid supercar won't be affected by the move regarding the CR-Z and the Insight, as the carmaker says its decisions to axe models are strictly based on each car's sales performance.

From time to time, BMW shows off some of the more special creations made through its Individual program, like this new 760Li Sterling inspired by ROBBE & BERKING, which is a maker of silverware with a long tradition that spans back to the 19th century.

While at a first glance it may look like any other version of BMW's flagship sedan series, upon a closer inspection, the special edition 760Li Sterling sports many unique features starting with the bespoke exterior shade and continuing with the use of solid 925 sterling silver on the badges, exterior body trim, front grille, door sill finishers, door handles, and interior décor.

Furthermore, the interior trim surfaces of the 760Li Sterling bear the punch mark with the crescent moon, which is the international symbol for silver; the crown, the symbol for Germany, and finally the maker's mark. The seats are dressed in fine-grain Merino full-leather trim in Amaro Brown, which is the most exclusive leather option available for a BMW these days, with contrasting piping in Opal White. The Alcantara headliner and Robbe & Berking silver goblets and a silver carafe at the back, complete the custom job.

A YouTube user who goes by the nickname 'fastsportscardriver' filmed testers of both the Range Rover Sport and Evoque RS models driven on the Nürburgring racetrack.

The bigger Range Rover Sport RS is believed to utilize the Jaguar-Land Rover group's 550hp 5.0-liter supercharged V8 found in a number of cars, including the the Jaguar XFR-S, while the more petite Evoque RS is rumored to be fitted with a tweaked 300hp version of the brand's already available 2.0-liter turbocharged inline four.

However, being that domestic rivals Mercedes-Benz and Audi are already preparing their counter proposals in the segment, BMW isn't resting on its laurels; instead, it is preparing a second generation X6, which we spied testing on the Nürburgring.

Set for a world premiere in late 2014 or early 2015 (as a 2016MY in North America), the new X6 evolves the current model's familiar shape, while reminding us of a bigger X4 (evidently, Audi's one style fits all philosophy is catching up in Munich).

From what we see in these pictures, the front will have a sharper look with more edgy detailing than the rounded X6 Mk1, with the same applying more or less to the profile lines and the rear end.

The new X6 will ride on the latest X5's lighter running gear and is expected to share similar exterior dimensions to the current model, which measures 192 inches (4,877mm) long, 78.1 inches (1,984mm) wide and 66.5 inches (1,689mm) tall.

All powerplants will be common with the X5, and will include several diesel (chiefly for Europe) and gasoline units, such as a 300hp turbocharged 3.0-liter straight-six petrol, a 4.4-liter V8 gasoline engine delivering 445 hp and the M-branded 3.0-liter tri-turbocharged inline-six diesel with 375hp (380PS) for the X6 M50d.

Down the line, we will see a range-topping X6 M model with a turbocharged V8 and possibly, a hybrid version.

As the name suggests, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG Concept runs on compressed natural gas (CNG). The prototype features a dual fuel system than runs on both gasoline and CNG. Mazda says its Skyactiv-G gasoline engine needs minor modifications to run on CNG as well, since it burns fuel at a high pressure and it has a high compression ration, just like a CNG engine.

According to the company, the Mazda3 Skyactiv-CNG responds to market trends and that vehicles with CNG engines reduce emissions by about 20 percent compared to those with gasoline engines of the same displacement. The Japanese carmaker didn't say whether the study will spawn a production model but that is likely to happen, since in European markets like Germany and Italy CNG vehicles are popular.

Skyactiv-CNG study aside, the Mazda booth will also include Skyactiv-Hybrid models, which are on sale only in Japan, where the Mazda3 is called Axela. The hybrid pairs an electric motor with a 2.0-liter Skyactiv-G gasoline engine.

Mazda will also present in Tokyo the Atenza (Mazda6) ASV-5, which is equipped with next generation safety systems. One of these systems enables automobiles with an in-car autonomous sensor to communicate with streetcars, helping to prevent collisions and make traffic smoother and safer.

It is a most unfortunate happening, with the blast caught on dash-cam in full gory detail, from a few car lengths behind – we usually end up only seeing the aftermath in situations such as this, never the actual moment.

The footage presented here is shocking, especially when one knows what the outcome ultimately was and that it incurred loss of life.

Sources from Russia have suggested it was an act of terror possibly carried out by Islamist militants from the North Caucasus, who do not approve of Russia's hosting of the 2014 Winter Olympics, in February of next year, in the popular Sochi resort.

The video lies below, followed by a local news report, in English, via RT.

In fact, according to local media reports, the Fiat Viaggio Hatchback will break cover at the 2013 Guangzhou International Auto Show held in late November.

The pictures, along with the fairly accurate renderings posted below reveal a sleek looking body for the hatch with a sloped rear window. Like the sedan, the five-door version will be manufactured in China from the Italian automaker's joint venture with the Guangzhou Automobile Group.

In China, the hatch should be offered with a similar range of engines as the sedan, including Fiat's 1.4-liter turbocharged petrol unit. There are no current plans to offer the hatch in other markets.

Now, you have the chance to get into the whole Marcos mindset by buying one of their Mantis M70 models, of which only 32 were ever built in 1972. It kept the Mantis name, but it had no connection to the sole Mantis XP racing car that participated in the 1968 1,000 km Spa Francochamps venue – this production model is a four-seater coupe, with… unique lines.

The eBay seller says that number has been watered down to just 12 examples today, and his seems to be in excellent condition. The entire history of the car is detailed in the sales ad, and having had only 2 owners since new (the current one from 1978) who drove it for around 4,000 miles (6,400 km) after having put it through a full rebuild in the 1980s, it sounds enticing – total mileage is 44,000 (70,000 km).

If you're a curious George, though, learn that this matte orange-red chrome wrap from Germany's Print Tech, starts at €10,000 (approximately US$13,800 at today's currency rates) for the body plus the use of a black brushed look wrap for certain other elements on the car.

This particular client also ticked the boxes for privacy windows (€200 or US$275), glossy black powder coated rims (€1,200 or US$1,650) and a Capristo exhaust system (€1,500 or US$2,100), lifting the total cost of the tune to a paltry €12,900 or US$17,800.

From what we understand, the story originated from YouTube author 'swsthebest1994' who filmed the car and stated the following: "Today I recorded this McLaren P1 on the Nürburgring. Today the P1 did a record time on the Nürburgring of 6:47 minutes [Not official yet]!"

Given the lack of any information whatsoever to support the claim, we're just going to leave it at what it is: a rumor, until we hear more, and let you watch the video of the P1 right past the break.

Before you do that, we'll remind you that Porsche recently announced an official 'Ring time of 6:57 for its hybrid supercar, the 918 Spyder.

The Transit Connect Taxi has been unveiled in Hong Kong, where it comes equipped with a liquefied petroleum gas fuel system designed to run on the city's developed LPG infrastructure. 

Based on the current Ford Transit Connect, the taxi version is longer than the previous model, offering seating for five and increased cargo capacity. The car features a new engine, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder unit paired to a new six-speed automatic that can run on gasoline or liquefied petroleum gas.

The 2014 Transit Connect Taxi has a lower ride height, providing improved clearance for taxicab companies to place advertising on the cabin roof. Ford has also added an interior hood release, allowing drivers easy access to check fluid levels prior to starting a shift.

The floor of the Transit Connect Taxi has been lowered for improved access to the cabin and can be modified for wheelchair accessibility through Ford's Qualified Vehicle Modifier program.

Turns out that they must be there somewhere as Frederic Duvernier, the Cactus concept's external designer, told Autonews Europe that the feature will appear on next year's production model.

"The material used for the Airbumps is very resistant and durable. It is similar to what you find in the sole of a Nike Air shoe," he told the publication. "The Airbumps will protect the bodywork from small impacts, such as a shopping trolley hitting it in a supermarket parking lot."

He added that the Airbump feature will allow customers to personalize the look of their car by ordering then in different colors.

Another surprise feature of the concept that will make it into production is the sofa-style front bench seating. "Putting in a sofa instead of two standard front seats is more expensive but it will create a feeling of comfort," said Mark Lloyd, Citroen's design program director.

Lloyd pointed out to Autonews Europe that Citroen's new C-line cars will sport simpler shapes and more plain surfaces instead of aggressive styling as other modern cars. "People's lives are complex and overloaded nowadays. Most of our customers are looking for simplicity. We have taken out anything unnecessary to concentrate on comfort and well-being," he said.

The same philosophy will apply to the next C1 city car which is being co-developed with Toyota, as well as the successors to the C3 supermini and the mid-size C5. "Every car will have its own design, but the philosophy of simplicity will be common to all the line," he added.

The reporter called in for help and soon enough, a Georgia Department of Transportation HERO unit came to assist. The man tried to wake up the driver and remove the keys from the Ram's ignition, but the driver brushed him away and took off.

Seconds later, he crashed into two cars in traffic ahead, creating a chain reaction that ended in a five-car accident. Before the Atlanta Police arrived, the man took off on foot climbing a tree and jumping over a barbed wire fence! According to WSB-TV, the police have still not found the man.

We could be wrong, but if you ask us, he looked as high as a kite in the video…

Thanks to Adam B. for the heads up!

Both come with a frugal 2.2-liter turbo diesel that produces 168bhp (170PS) and 400Nm of peak torque for a zero to sixty (96km/h) in 8.5 seconds and a combined cycle fuel economy of 64.2mpg UK (53.5 mpg US or 4.4l/100km) for the manual model and 58.9mpg UK (49.0 mpg US or 4.8l/100km) for the automatic.

Pricing starts from £29,870 with a monthly contract hire leasing rate of £299.99 plus VAT (3+35 rentals, non maintenance, 10,000 miles a year), with the higher specified Premium Executive that includes satellite navigation, heated and powered leather seats with memory and I-Key, beginning from £33,470 or with contract hire at £336.99 per month.

According to Infiniti, "The Q50's 114g/km CO2 rating (manual transmission) also delivers highly competitive benefit-in-kind tax bills for drivers. A 20 per cent taxpayer in 2013/14 will face a benefit-in-kind tax bill of just £83.45 a month (40 per cent taxpayer: £166.90) for the manual. Even in year three (2015/16) this rises to only £99.56 (£199.13)."

More than a decade has passed, and the E46 M3 has remained a sought-after car, but now with the added advantage of depreciation. Prices are acceptable now, and the offer is varied, but as some who have tried know, really really good cars are quite elusive.

Regardless, if you needed any more incentive to covet one of these M3s, and re-spark you desire to own one, scroll down and watch the video posted after the jump, courtesy of CarThrottle.

It presents seven subjective reasons for the argument, some more serious than others, but we'll let you tell us if they're the ones that would get you fired up over one of these – feel free to add others in the comments section below.

Recently, the tuner completed the only Lamborghini Aventador LP700-4 in Roadster guise in the world to feature the SV package and shared the pictures with us.

The car comes with the aggressive looking and protruding on both ends aerodynamic kit with all parts made from visible carbon fiber, while the owner of the car also opted for Dione alloy wheels (20-inch at the front and 21-inch at the rear) covering orange brake calipers.

You can take a better look at the car in the gallery that follows.
