    It was only yesterday that Hyundai confirmed its upcoming Chevrolet Volt and Toyota Prius rival will be called an Ioniq, and now we have a new set of spy shots of the car. As we learned yesterday, the Ioniq will go on sale next year, and it will be the first car ever to offer electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. The Ioniq will be a sleek liftback sedan designed to carry five, and from these spy shots it’s quite clear the vehicle will feature a shape similar to its aforementioned rivals. That’s because the shape is largely dictated by aerodynamic efficiency. To help...

We’ve already reported on McLaren’s plans for a 675LT Spider and now we have the first spy shots of a test mule. An initial glance will lead one to think this is an ordinary 650S Spider but if you peer a little closer you’ll notice the makeshift dual-side vent design similar to the one used on the original 12C Spider. This is likely due to additional cooling required by the higher-rated...

    MINI’s second-generation Clubman goes on sale in January, priced from about $25k. However, at launch only the Cooper and Cooper S variants will be available. The one we’re most keen on is the high-performance John Cooper Works, which comes later in 2016. A prototype for the new John Cooper Works Clubman has just been spotted. We know this is the JCW variant because of the enlarged intakes up front, chunky roof-mounted spoiler, exhaust tips finished in chrome, and what appears to be a rear diffuser. Expect the same engine fitted to the latest JCW Hardtop to be nestled under the...
