Audi A6 was spy photographed in California
Car enthusiasts are expecting Audi A6 to make its glorious debut sometime around late next year, but until then, spy photos of the car model are available.The car was spied on the California highways and although it was considerably camouflaged, some similarities with previous prototypes were obvious. So, its fans shouldn’t be surprised when they see A1-inspired headlights and LED taillights.Regarding the engine options, one can suppose that, as the A6 is A7 Sportback-based, a 2.8-liter FSI with 150 kW, or a 220 kW supercharged 3.0-liter TFSI, while a V8 remains a possibility, quite a strong one.

2011 BMW X3 causes a bomb scare in New York
A 2011 BMW X3 prototype was currently tested by BMW in the Big Apple and the car was briefly left running outside New York's American Museum of Natural History on Sunday.

Central Park was closed from 77th to 81st Streets for some 90 minutes, while the Museum was sealed. The rear window was smashed as police searched the vehicle for explosives, but, fortunately, found no ...
