Volkswagen Beetle Dune 'could be built'

IF YOU like your Beetles with a little more ‘dune buggy’ about them, Volkswagen’s latest concept is right up your street. And what’s more, it really could be right up your street if public reaction to the so-called Beetle Dune is strong enough. With a body raised by 50mm, 19-inch wheels and a special rear-mounted luggage rack reminiscent of early Beetles, the Dune plays on its dual heritage strands of its earliest predecessor and the fully off-road biased dune buggies built on Beetle chassis.

Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) first official pictures

This is the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe. After years of competing admirably against the BMW M3 Coupe with four-door saloons, the recent launch of the C-class Coupe means Merc’s go-faster tuning arm AMG finally has a two-door on which to build a worthy rival. And this is it, the C63 AMG Coupe, which sports a big V8 capable of producing 480bhp.

Executive touch for Volkswagen Passat

THE POPULAR Volkswagen Passat has been given two new generously equipped trim levels to mark its final months of production. It is due to be replaced by an all-new model within the next year, so in an effort to sell off as many as possible before that time, Volkswagen has introduced the Executive and Executive Style trim levels in place of the previous Highline. Both the saloon and the estate body styles can be ordered with the new specification.
