2007 Renault Megane Coupe-Cabriolet RS


Over the last year alot of Renault's top secret cars have been caught on camera like their top secret SUV, Renault Modus RS and this. Huge alloys wheels, sports kit and huge front lower grille means that this isn't an ordinary Megane Coupe-Cabriolet. Despite the Megane having a recent facelift if it goes into production it will have the Megane Facelift face. The pricing range would be around £18,000 estimate.

FREEZE! (2007 Ford Focus RS)




As can be seen on these photos, Ford’s racing team is busy developing the hottest version of the Focus model range, the new RS. Almost on the last day of cold weather testing season, Ford came out with this prototype for a short test drive on a frozen lake in Sweden.
The test car has visibly big air intakes in the hood and stretched wheel arches to cover running gear from Volvo S60R saloon. As well as the four-wheel-drive transmission, the Focus RS also gets the S 60 R‘s turbocharged 5 cyl. engine, this one with a bigger turbo, estimated to deliver around 300 HP. However, Ford is expected to limit the performance car’s top speed to approximately 155 mph.
Not much has been said about the release of the new RS, rumours suggest a launch by the end of 2007 and a price tag of £25.000.

Hopefully this will be successful like the 5 door Focus Hatchback....

2008 Porsche Panamera



This is the first EVER glimpse of Porsche's supercar. Although it is a very early test mule what give it away is the bulging wheelarches and low ground clearence. This test mule was caught lapping around the Nurburgring circuit.

The supercar will be estimated at £90,000 and it will be a 4 door making it the first ever 4 door supercar put into production.

2006 BMW 3 Series (Coupe and Covertible)





I know I made a post about the 3/4 Series convertible but not the coupe. The coupe will be seprate from the convertible because it was a big hit alone.

The coupe was caught during a test drive on the roads of Munich. Disguise is slowly shedding away. More info will be posted so watch out!

2006 Volkswagen Eos Being Transported




This seems to be the first VW Eos in the UK. Going on sale in summer, a member gave us these exclusive pictures of the sports coupe-cabriolet on a transporter being transported to a dealer.

Starting from £18,995 going upto £32,000 which is very expensive as its rivals don't cost as much as this.

There are 4 VW Eos on the transporter all in the same coulor too.

We Caught You (2007 Peugeot 308)








This is the first ever glimpse of Peugeot's 307 replacement. The disguised 407 is infact a 4 door saloon. That was caught in Scandinavia cold-weather testing. The other two pictures show a hatchback version of the 308 undergoing testing in France.

In summer 2005 the French best seller Peugeot 307 underwent a restyling. Now the French car maker is about to develop an all new replacement for the 307, dubbed 308. Formerly the 308 was scheduled for release in 2008, but now Peugeot has decided to show the new model at the 2007 Frankfurt Motor show already.

The fastback version will be the first one to come on the market as four- and two door. Its overall length is said to grow by about 4 cm to 4.25 meters while its height is going to be slightly reduced.

Just like Volkswagen with the “Cross-Golf”, PSA is also hiding an SUV variant of the 308 up their sleeve, however, this one without four wheel drive. A convertible-coupe and a wagon version are expected to follow about a year later.
Power will come from a 2.2 four-cylinder turbo diesel engine delivering 170 HP as well as from the new 1.6 litre fuel injected engine generation delivering between 75 and 170 HP. It was developed in cooperation with BMW. A particularly sporty RC version producing 210 HP is to follow some time later.

First two photos are genuine prototype photos. Only the background and the license plates were altered by computer, not the car itself. The third photo is a computer image giving an artist’s impression of the new model to come. And photos four and five are of a prototype mule in recent cold weather testing in Scandinavia.
