Morgan Eva GT: Teaser sketch before launch at Pebble

The Morgan Eva GT Sketch - will debut at Pebble next week Back in June we reported that Morgan are planning a new car – the Morgan Eva GT – which is destined to be a limited edition, four seat coupe. And that it was due to launch at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance later this year. Well, it’s now ‘later this year’ and Pebble is almost upon us, Morgan has decided a further little tease to whet our appetites is called for before the real deal arrives next week.

Bentley & Audi to share new V8 – the end of the W12?

The Bentley Continental GT V8 will share an engine with Audi When we reported on the reveal of the new 2011 Bentley Continental GT, we noted that Bentley had plans to launch a V8 version  of the Conti sometime next year. What we didn’t get was too much information from Bentley on the new V8, except the little nugget that the V8 going in to the Bentley would be Audi sourced. Which makes sense.

BMW M6 Competition revealed

The Limited Edition BMW M6 Competition will be at Frankfurt (click image for bigger photo) It doesn’t look like the M6 Competition gets much fiddling with the oily bits, although the suspension is being tweaked and lowered – 10mm at the front and 12mm at the back. The M6 Competition sees a new colour option – Frozen Grey Matt – which does look pretty special on the M6.  The interior gets a ‘limited edition’ makeover, with buyers getting the choice between Merino full leather interior with either black or light grey two-tone contrast stitching. BMW are also throwing in a set of mats with ‘M6 Competition’ stitched in them in case you forget what you bought.
