Prototypes for an updated version of the BMW 3-Series have been spotted in Europe. In addition to revised styling and some new interior details, the updated 3-Series should also feature new engines and a plug-in hybrid option.

Mercedes-Benz has celebrated its titles in the 2014 Formula One World Championship at its headquarters in Stuttgart, Germany. The event saw over 50,000 visitors attend and it was where the new F1 champ Lewis Hamilton and his teammate Nico Rosberg presented a pair of special SL63 AMG convertibles.

Following last week’s McLaren P1 crash in Dallas, Texas, some new details surrounding the circumstances of the crash have surfaced. Incredibly, the car had been in its owner’s hands for less than 24 hours before meeting its demise.
