The Civic has finally...
The Civic has finally been set three! Ahead of its official unveiling at the British Motor Show later this month, Honda has released the first pictures of its sporty compact family hatchback.
But this wasn"t the...
But this wasn"t the case for Audi engineers putting their latest model through its paces in the US, exclusively caught by our spy photographers in this week"s magazine. They tried obscuring the exhaust instead! Bosses at the German maker haven"t confirmed that a sporty version of the A8 flagship saloon will be offered, but this is the first time it"s ever been seen featuring four pipes at the back, which is a trademark of the brand"s S models. The only other vehicles in the current line-up with the tell-tale design cue are S variants of the A4.
Nor could we help spotting the revised front bumper on the test vehicle caught on film by the mag"s spy photographer. It is much lower than the standard version, and incorporates three slots beneath the now trademark trapezoidal grille. Larger air intakes and a lower lip also distinguish the reprofiled design.
When it makes its public debut, the production S8 model is likely to be powered by a turbocharged version of the 4.2-litre engine. Bigger wheels than those on the car seen here are expected to be fitted, too.
