A new medium-sized model - codenamed RD60 - had already made prototype stage in the hands of MG Rover. The work started in Longbridge will be continued to form the 45 replacement. Aimed at the Ford Focus and VW Golf, it will blend the styling cues of the three cars pictured on the right, and the result will be an MPV-like hatch that rivals the all-new Honda Civic for visual drama.

Instead, the model, out later this year, will be called the Land Rover LR3. However, the number 3 will also grace UK cars - it will be known as Discovery 3. A spokesman said: "The Range Rover was the main product when we came to the States, so buyers think of it as a brand on its own, and regard Discovery as a Range Rover model name.

But despite its action...

But despite its action adventure appearance, the jaw-dropper, known as Nero, has nothing to do with the silver screen. Penned at Audi"s design centre in California, these official pictures reveal the firm"s vision of the future.

Up front, the stunning coup탩 wears Audi"s signature four-sided grille with pride. The four-ring badge also features prominently, while the vertical bars are similar to those on the firm"s TT Shooting Brake concept, revealed at last month"s Tokyo Motor Show.

Its long nose and small window area are emphasised by fully enclosed wheels, which also provide aerodynamic benefits. Inspired by the streamlined record-breaking cars built by the Auto Union race team of the Thirties, the show car has a teardrop shape which is dramatic from every angle.

The two-door Nero - Latin for black - features a translucent bonnet which gives a view of the engine bay. At this stage, no powerplant has been allocated to the model, but only the firm"s flagship W12 unit would suit its supercar style.

While the Nero is unlikely to make it off the drawing board, the presentation material for the machine features a quote from Audi founder August Horch, stating: "A dream worth having is a dream worth pursuing."

This hints at Audi"s intent to produce a coup탩 to rival BMW"s 6-Series. While the new TT will go on sale in the UK late next year, a two-door model based on the A6 platform is expected to appear in 2008. The Nero has been created as part of a competition to create a stunning showstopper for the Los Angeles expo, with the theme "An LA Adventure".
