It's already looking quite promising. The development of electric vehicles at Volkswagen Group is going full steam ahead. This holds true not only for the core Volkswagen brand but also for the premium Audi marque. The Ingolstadt-based automaker recently unveiled the E-Tron GT and is now focussing on its high-riding zero-emission flotilla. A batch of spy photos from earlier this month confirmed the Q4 E-Tron and Q4 Sportback E-Tron are not the only electric SUVs Audi is currently working on. To the surprise of everyone here at Motor1.com , our spies caught a prototype of the Q5 E-Tron testing with its production body and with no fake camouflage panels. Future Electric Models From Audi: Audi Q4 E-Tron Sportback Interior Glimpsed In New Spy Shots Audi Q4 E-Tron Sportback Spied With Steelies With so little left to the imagination even at this early stage of development, someone had to render the next-generation Porsche Macan’s brother from … [Read more...] about Audi Q5 E-Tron Rendering Takes After The First Spy Photos

Porsche Taycan Sport Turismo, Coupe, Convertible Under Consideration
A base all-wheel-drive Taycan 4 sedan could also happen. Ever since the Mission E Cross Turismo debuted at the Geneva Motor Show three years ago, many people have been asking Porsche to do a low-slung Sport Turismo version as well. New intel suggests it might just happen as product boss Stefan Weckbach told Autocar additional Taycan derivatives are being considered to follow the sedan and high-riding wagon. While he stopped short of confirming a Taycan Sport Turismo, he admitted the J1 dedicated electric platform shared with the Audi E-Tron GT is "perfect for future additional product ideas, and we are thinking in different directions." Don't be too surprised if it will happen considering the transformation from Cross to Sport wouldn't be that hard. After all, Porsche would only have to take off the body cladding and lower the suspension back to the sedan's levels.

Big-Mouthed 2019 Porsche Cayenne Caught Grinning On The Street
My what a big grille you have. An all-new Porsche Cayenne is on the horizon. Now nearly six years old on its current platform, the company is looking to refresh and reintroduce the SUV to the market for the 2019 model year. Already our spy photographers have spotted the Porsche testing in snowy conditions near Germany, but now we can an even closer look at the SUV prior to its debut. Revealed: 2019 Porsche Cayenne Debuts Sleeker Look, Sheds Weight 2019 Porsche Cayenne: See The Changes Side-By-Side Scheduled to make its in-person appearance at the Frankfurt Motor Show this September, the Cayenne was recently spied again on public roads, this time showing off its new front grille that spans the length of the front fascia entirely, rather than chopped up into three separate pieces.

Bentley Flying Spur Can’t Keep Camo On For Much Longer [UPDATE]
The black tape is beginning to peel off from the stately sedan's body. Revealed: 2020 Bentley Flying Spur Debuts As W12 Luxobarge With 626 HP Escorted by a diesel-powered Bentley Bentayga , this is probably one of the last prototypes of the new Flying Spur you are going to see with the camouflage all over the majestic body. It was caught the other day conducting cold-weather testing in snowy Sweden and looking as if it were anxious to get out of that rather annoying double layered disguise. The test vehicle’s fenders were playing the striptease game as some of the black tape was missing to reveal the Flying Spur’s true beige color, but still not enough to give us the opportunity to better see what will essentially be a Continental GT sedan. Checking the prototype’s license plate with U.K.’s Driver & Vehicle Licensing Agency revealed a W12 6.0-liter biturbo engine was hiding underneath the long hood, but its output is not known for the time being.
