X-Tomi Design is taking a stab at rendering the already confirmed Audi Q8 expected to arrive within the next three years.
BMW invented the crossover "coupe" niche with the X6 (E71) which went on sale in 2008 and it was only recently when Mercedes-Benz responded with the GLE Coupe. Obviously, Audi wants a piece of the action which is why last month they reconfirmed plans to come out with an Q8 based on the second generation Q7 but "more emotional and more sporty."
Audi's chief designer March Lichte will be in charge of styling the range-topping Q model from Ingolstadt which will be more than five meters long. It could also spawn an e-tron plug-in hybrid derivative as well as a full electric version to tackle the Tesla Model X. There should also be a range-topping RS Q8 model featuring a twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8 gasoline engine but it's output is unknown at this moment.
Mitsubishi has unveiled the Lancer Evolution X Final Concept ahead of its debut scheduled for the Tokyo Auto Salon in January 2015.

Acura has announced the long-awaited 2016 NSX will finally debut in production guise next month at NAIAS in Detroit.
They also provided several teaser images with the vehicle which as you can see will stay true to the concept. Acura promises the second generation NSX is going to provide a "new sports experience" and will be the "ultimate expression of Acura performance that is fueling a reenergized brand." Without going too much into technical details, the company says it will have a three-motor, twin-turbocharged Sport Hybrid power unit mounted inside a "human-centered supercar."
The second-gen NSX was originally announced back in the summer of 2005 and was previewed at the 2012 NAIAS by a concept and then updated a year later for the same show. Now, Acura says the production-ready version will premiere on January 12 at NAIAS in Detroit before entering production at the new Performance Manufacturing Center in Marysville, Ohio.

Infiniti executive design director Alfonso Albaisa has revealed plans to introduce a Q60 Coupe concept at the North American International Auto Show.
Speaking to Motor Trend, Albaisa said the concept will be "very, very, very, very close to the next Q60." He declined to elaborate but Infiniti chief creative officer Shiro Nakamura has previously confirmed the production model will arrive next year and will be "a little bit bigger than a BMW 4-Series but not as big as a 6-Series."
Engine options will likely carryover from the Q50 but Nakamura hinted there could be an Eau Rouge variant - with a twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 engine that develops 560 bhp (417 kW) - if the Q50 Eau Rouge concept is approved for production.
The Volkswagen Golf R Variant (SportWagen in United States) has been introduced at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show.
Fans of hot wagons in the U.S. are probably pretty upset with Volkswagen since there's no word about stateside availability as VW says the model is set to go on sale only in Europe starting next spring. It looks essentially the same as the Golf R hatchback but obviously with the longer rear end which grants a 605-liter trunk capacity with the seats up and 1,620 liters if you fold them down.

It benefits from a generous 225mm ground clearance and 800mm water-wading capability while the towing capacity stands at 3,000 kg. Ford says it has a best-in-class 750 kg cargo payload (up to 100 kg roof payload) and a 29-degree approach angle and 25-degree departure angle.

Two official images depicting Toyota's C-HR concept have appeared online prior to the crossover's debut early next month at the Paris Motor Show.
At the beginning of the week Toyota published a darkened teaser image showing the concept's profile and now two fully revealing images have hit the web with the C-HR which according to the company "combines a powerful new design language with an engaging driving experience and a hybrid powertrain."
Little else is known about the concept but chances are it previews a compact crossover set to be positioned below the RAV4. Most likely the production version will have something to do with the prototypes spotted undergoing testing by our photographers in the last few months. The model could be a derivative of the Auris hatchback set to be sold with the "Auris Cross" moniker starting sometime next year.
British media has managed to obtain preliminary technical specification regarding the Mercedes-Benz C350 Plug-In Hybrid.

It will also feature an active shutter grille which improves aerodynamics whenever extra engine cooling is not necessary.
Renault has introduced at home in France the more luxurious "Initiale Paris" trim for the Clio supermini.
Back in May last year, Renault announced plans for an upper-spec Initiale Paris equipment level and now the first model to receive the more premium treatment is the Clio which in France kicks off at ?21,500. The configurator is now online and perhaps the most significant exterior change is the adoption of sleeker LED daytime running lights which have been moved from the center grille into the headlights.
Fiat has announced production of the Panda will be temporarily suspended between October 16 and 27.
