With its suave front and compact rear, this is a nice looking car and while it’s eccessive to call them sisters, as per the Lamborghini Murcielago and Gallardo, this Seat Ibiza SportCoupé was also trusted to Luc Donckerwolke for a new design.

The dimensions are slightly reduced compared to the five door - 4.03 metres is two centimetres shorter than the five door. But it really shows off the style introduced by the Bocanegra even if the air intakes will be derived from the Cupra.

From the spy shots it seemed that this vehicle should have looked more like the CS. But sometimes in the world of restyling, the best choices don’t always come up. Prior to the July 7 official presentation, the embargo has, as usual, been brokent - here are the first shots of the Bmw Series 7.

The photos show a bulky front, nice lines down the sides and an evolved rear look compared to the current generation. So the promises have been maintained.

No compromises, including no roof and no windshield, extreme like the times of the 300 SLR Silberpfeil, driving by Stirling Moss around the bends of the Mille Miglia and the slopes of the Targa Florio in the 30’s. And so as not to dishonour the comparison, Mercedes makes use of the Amg experience to make its extreme version of the SLR 722.

All you’ll need to know is that the weight - thanks to the very visible changes and spartan interior, will fall by 200 kg, giving anyone with a weak constitution a heart attack. It’s combined with performance of 300 km at less than 26 seconds, and a maximum speed of 350.

Feast your eyes on the images below as when this thing gets moving, it won’t be more than a blur.

With the high temperatures in Italy and talk of indescribable supercars from Mercedes, things are getting a little delirious over here. Crowning the collaboration with McLaren on the development of the SLR, Mercedes Benza will present a super sports car without compromise of which only 75 units will be made, destined for the collectors market.

Internal sources at auto, motor und sport reveal that at the Mercedes Benz Aren of Stuttgart on July 30, the official presentation will take place of this leathal weapon: distinct from the SLR and inspired by the Silberpfeil 300 SLR from 1955, in that year winner of the Mille Miglia (with Stirling Moss) and then following the Targa Florio.

This supercar will see some radical changes in the roof and wind shield, but the figures will help us to better understand the project: at 450,000 euros this car does 0-300 km in less than 26 seconds, with a maximum speed at more than 350km.

The brand’s epiphany will take place from this model. During an interview with Auto Bild, Jerome Gallix, design manager for the Peugeot brand, reveals moves to revive company heritage with a new family. The first to debut will be a re-edition of the of 504 coupé, originally designed by Pininfarina in 1969. The rendering, supplied by the manager, confirms the news.

This top range two door, according to the first reconstructions, will have a similar length to the 407 coupé, while engines and technological (air suspension first up), will be inherited from the C5. We also remind you that Gallix has presided over the lines of the 308 RC-Z, a muscular guarantee.

Other news give some more substance to the romanticism of the idea, with the designer claiming “I’m an admirer of the old 204 and 205, and I don’t exclude the possibility of examining them, in such a way as to lower the average CO2 emissions of the Peugeot range.”

Volkswagon is ready to launch a new spicy version of the Scirocco, and after the news of the competition verison used on the Nurburgring, we see the first images of the Scirocco R. Bigger air intakes and some extra grunt gives this something more than the current 2.0 TFSI option, but we’re still waiting for official confirmation.

Rumours are still pushing the VR6 3.2 with all-wheel drive, while others dream of the 3.6 Passat R36 at 300hp with DSG transmission. The fact remains that the overall package could be explosive and even dangerous for the Audi TT-S and S3 cousins.

Read this news but take it easy while you do it as we get the feeling Autocar could just be stirring. But according to the British magazine, Alfa Romeo wants to replicate the 8C Competizione in 2010, just in time for its 100th anniversary.

It’s still not clear if such a version will be a simple GTA or a brand new limited series. Marketing director Sergio Cravero has added a new element as well, saying that Ferrari could make a contribution, perhaps conceding the same platform as the California.

After four years of important commercial success, Dacia is proposing a restyling of the Logan. The spoilers and lights are being changed, with particular attention being given to the rear and some significant design changes. The wheels have also been revamped, and on some versions we’ll see the appearance of chrome finishes, with new colours in basalt grey, electric blue and extreme blue.

The dash is completely new, having been taken from the Dacia Sandero, and is available in two colours which can be combined with the four possible options for the upholstery. The engine has been confirmed with four cylinder 1.4 and 1.6 petrol, and 1.5 Dci, all from Renault. News comes at the top-of-the-range with the 1.5 Dci seeing a step up in power at 105 hp.

A day from the publication of the video of the new Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution which leaves the Subaru Impreza WRX STi in its wake, some official photos from the Japanese company have arrived.

This rally car dressed in civilian clothes is really highlighted by this dynamic photo shoot, which we think is a great effort from Mitsubishi to give its car some mystique that could really appeal.

Car companies have got the taste for teaser campaigns with new models being anticipated through enigmatic snaps and tantalising partial shots. BMW is no exception to this fashion and has released the first official images of the new 7 Series, where it’s possible to make out only the form of the headlights.

The occasion is a golf tournament sponsored by BMW, who has hit the nail on the head with donating to the public a glimpse of what will be seen at the Paris show in October, where the 7 Series will have its debut. The renderings and spy shots have already given us some idea of the new car, and official photos are expected in about a week.
