A new generation of BMW's 8-Series is just around the corner, and a high-performance M8 variant is coming too. Here we see the latter flexing its muscles on the Nürburgring. Expect it to feature a twin-turbo V-8 very conservatively rated to just over 600 horsepower.

Another vehicle spied testing this week was a Jeep pickup truck based on the bones of the new JL Wrangler. Possibly called a Scrambler, the pickup goes on sale in 2019 and will compete with mid-sizers like the new Ford Ranger as well as the Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon twins.

Another electric car we saw this week comes from a firm out of the Czech Republic. MW Motors revealed the Luka EV, a cute little coupe that could easily be mistaken for a Karmann Ghia. It's thoroughly modern, though, as drive comes from four in-wheel electric motors.

And finally, this week we took a ride in pro driver David Higgins' Subaru rally car on a frozen lake. The experience gave us a glimpse into what rally drivers experience behind the wheel as they blast around a circuit. It's a barrel of fun but also downright scary.
