    Ferrari is working on a more extreme version of its F12 Berlinetta, a prototype for which has just been spotted. It’s thought this particular variant won’t be a direct replacement for the current F12 Berlinetta but rather a more extreme option for buyers, similar to how Ferrari offered the 458 Speciale alongside the 458 Italia. Completely undisguised versions of the car, which is rumored to be called a Speciale or perhaps even a GTO, have already been spotted. But our latest spy shots give us a look at the car from most angles. Crucially, we can spot the trio of vents on the rear...

  • 2017 Porsche 718 Boxster spy shots - Image via S. Baldauf/SB-Medien

    The current Boxster was all-new for the 2013 model year so in Porsche tradition we should see the car receive a mid-cycle facelift for the 2017 model year. Today we have new spy shots of a prototype for the facelifted car plus a video from YouTube user BridgeToGantry. The Boxster is one of our favorite cars here at Motor Authority, and it even took out our Best Car To Buy award for 2013. Hopefully there won't be too many changes with this facelift, and it looks like that will be the case, visually at least, judging from the spy shots. At the front, the headlights have been revised and look to...
