MWerks has published these photos of a thinly disguised BMW 1-Series coupe. The car was recently spotted during testing at the Nurburgring. It looks a little pretty cool to us, although we’ve never been massive fans of the headlights (which look slightly different to the regular 1-Series items.)
The guys over at MWerks reckon this could be the hot 135i model, using the same 3.0L twin-turbocharged powerplant as its big brother - the 335i.

Thanks to Dan for sending us these photos of the forthcoming Audi RS6, at rest in Spain.
We can expect at least 550bhp from the monster twin-turbocharged 5.0L V10 powerplant. The car will initially be offered with an automatic ‘box, with a DSG transmission available in the future.
The grilles at the front and that diffuser at the rear are subtle giveaways to what lies in the engine bay. Expect slightly swollen arches once that cladding’s been removed.
