<a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-mercedes-benz-a45-amg-with-350hp.html"><img alt="" border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-eKauxfmeIUM/UJLBJiOHhCI/AAAAAAAJ2tg/RDMx8Aywnjo/s1600/2013-Mercedes-A45-AMG.jpg" style="border: 1px solid rgb(51, 51, 51); cursor: hand; cursor: pointer; display: block; height: 349px; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; width: 645px;" /></a> The most hotly anticipated small Mercedes-Benz model since the 190E 2.3 16v (at its time, it was considered a small car for the German brand), <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/06/mercedes-benz-reportedly-confirms-a45.html">the new A45 AMG</a>, has been exposed for the first time with scarcely any camouflage. In these fresh pictures, the final production model wears some black tape on the lower part of the front bumper, the grille wings, the Mercedes-Benz monikers, the center section of the rear diffuser and the side skirts, but other than that, it’s as naked as a newborn baby. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VNxucUeLkRs/UJLBSLW6aDI/AAAAAAAJ2ts/xbRfADFvvnM/s1600/2013-Mercedes-A45-AMG-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 10px; margin-left: 10px;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-VNxucUeLkRs/UJLBSLW6aDI/AAAAAAAJ2ts/xbRfADFvvnM/s200/2013-Mercedes-A45-AMG-1.jpg" width="115" /></a> Those of you paying close attention to the new A-Class will likely have noticed that the A45 AMG's aero kit is identical to the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/08/mercedes-benz-drops-another-sea-of.html">AMG Sport styling package</a> offered on the regular hatchback, with the only true differences between the two coming from the bigger, 18-inch multispoke alloy wheels, the honeycomb grille inserts, and the trapezoidal (instead of oval) tailpipes. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/11/new-mercedes-benz-a45-amg-with-350hp.html#more">Read more »</a>

Qoros Reveals its First Ever Production Model, the New GQ3 Compact Sedan

Spied: Maserati to Challenge BMW 5- and 6-Series Gran Coupe with New Ghibli Sports Sedan

It's name is Ghibli, and unlike other pompous plans from the Fiat Group (see Alfa Romeo), this one is for real and it will make its world premiere either at the Geneva Motor Show in March or at the Shanghai auto show in April. A heavily dressed prototype of the Ghibli sports sedan was nabbed undergoing winter testing in Europe. The camouflage hides the design details of the car, but it is clear that the Ghibli will be more compact than the 5,263mm (207.2 inches) long Quattroporte featuring shorter front and rear overhangs and wheelbase. <a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y-lGyxlKwl0/UNDXCD1jM1I/AAAAAAAKuwI/Wp8NUBw8hV0/s1600/2014-Maserati-Ghibli-Sedan2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-y-lGyxlKwl0/UNDXCD1jM1I/AAAAAAAKuwI/Wp8NUBw8hV0/s200/2014-Maserati-Ghibli-Sedan2.jpg" width="110"></a> Despite the difference in size, with the Ghibli measuring just under 5 meters (~196 inches) in length, it will ride on a modified version of the Quattroprote's platform, which itself, is loosely based on the Chrysler 300 chassis having received a number of updates. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/spied-maserati-to-challenge-bmw-5-and-6.html#more">Read more »</a>

The as-of-yet unnamed crossover model looks like a longer, taller, and beefier version of the fourth generation Clio, which might not be a bad thing, but it definitely leaves a lot to be desired when you compare it <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/02/renault-captur-juke-sized-crossover.html">with the original concept.</a> <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/new-renault-captur-reportedly-revealed.html#more">Read more »</a>

Skoda Officially Reveals All-New and Sleeker Looking 2013 Octavia III [Updated]

The 2013 Octavia is the first Skoda model to make use of the VW Group's new and lighter MQB platform that underpins several other compact cars, most notably the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/10/vw-extends-new-golf-mk7-range-with.html">VW Golf Mk7</a> and the <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/03/2013-audi-a3-is-newer-than-it-looks.html">latest Audi A3</a> hatchbacks. Compared to the model it replaces, the new Octavia is 90mm longer at 4,659mm, 45mm wider at 1,814mm, and more importantly, the wheelbase has been stretched by 108mm to 2,686mm, something that mainly benefits the interior and space on the rear seats. <a href="http://lh3.ggpht.com/-r7hzmaZ9P88/UMdQzPWbJHI/AAAAAAAKnjA/3XfLwBj9Dnw/s1600-h/2013-Skoda-Octavia-III-4%25255B2%25255D.jpg"><img align="right" alt="2013-Skoda-Octavia-III-4" border="0" height="79" src="http://lh6.ggpht.com/-EQdOFgRz2gE/UMdQz6rXYDI/AAAAAAAKnjI/9Z2iomjhQVk/2013-Skoda-Octavia-III-4_thumb.jpg?imgmax=800" style="background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-left: 0px; margin: 0px 0px 10px 10px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; display: inline; float: right; border-top: 0px; border-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px" title="2013-Skoda-Octavia-III-4" width="119"></a>As a result, front head room has increased by 8 mm, front elbow width by 39 mm and rear elbow width by 26 mm over the outgoing Octavia. According to Skoda, the Octavia offers a class-leading interior space in the compact segment with 1,782 mm of interior length and the largest boot with a volume of 590 liters. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/skoda-officially-reveals-all-new-and.html#more">Read more »</a>

With the RS6 Avant, it's mostly about the numbers, be that for performance or the sheer size of the car and especially, its humongous load area. We'll start with what will likely  pique your interest the most, and that's none other than the beast hiding behind the framed "quattro" logo on the front grille. Out goes the previous RS6's 571hp (579PS) and 650Nm (479 lbf·ft) 5.0-liter bi-turbo V10, in comes a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-litre V8 TFSI engine shared with other Audi's like <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2011/08/official-new-2013-audi-s8-gets-40-liter.html">the S8</a> as well as the Bentley Continental. <a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kpP4oQtHXFI/UL6ginJQD4I/AAAAAAAKg1U/SIkQmdFSvrk/s1600/2014-Audi-RS6-Avant-17.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear:right; float:right; margin-left:10px; margin-bottom:10px"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kpP4oQtHXFI/UL6ginJQD4I/AAAAAAAKg1U/SIkQmdFSvrk/s200/2014-Audi-RS6-Avant-17.jpg" width="135"></a> In this application, the V8 unit is said to produce 552hp (560PS) between 5,700 and 6,700 rpm and a constant 700 Nm (516 lb-ft) of torque available between 1,750 and 5,500 rpm, though, as one of readers pointed out in our previous posting, Audi may very well be a tad modest about these numbers… <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/audi-new-rs6-avant-brings-thunder-with.html#more">Read more »</a>

The Über station wagon is claimed to go from zero to 100km/h (62mph) in just 3.9 seconds and top out at 304km/h (189mph), all while being able to fit up to 1,680 liters of goods. <a href="http://carscoop.blogspot.com/2012/12/2014-Audi-RS6-Avant-New.html#more">Read more »</a>
