The coupe version of the sixth-generation F30 BMW 3-Series sedan has been spotted once again in prototype form at the Nürburgring, and we have a new spy video of it running some hot laps around the German race track. The new two-door, code-named the F32, is due for a reveal late this year ahead of a sales launch in the summer of 2013. To help further differentiate its two-door models from its four-door lineup, as well as allow for the introduction of a range of new models and bodystyles, BMW will be adopting a new naming nomenclature where its sedan models stick with the odd-numbered...

The MINI Paceman Concept, first displayed at the 2011 Detroit Auto Show, came off as a bit of an oddball, even compared to its four-door Countryman inspiration, but even so, something about it piqued our interest. Now we have new spy shots of the production version, likely to be called the Countryman Coupe, and our interest is even deeper. While the debut of the production version of the Paceman/Countryman Coupe isn't expected until the Paris Auto Show this September, with arrivals in early 2013, these images show MINI isn't far off from a finished product. The prototype also very closely...

To most, the 550-horsepower Jaguar XKR-S is about as hardcore as you’d ever want a Jaguar to be. However, for buyers that like to take their cars to the track, race them, and then drive them home again, even the XKR-S may not be focused enough. This has led management at Jaguar to develop a new track-focused version, which would compete against the likes of the BMW M3 GTS, Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe Black Series and the Porsche 911 GT3 RS. Essentially race cars converted for road-use, these track-focused models are stripped of any amenities that may make life more comfortable. They are then...
