CAR SPY SHOTS

The brand new luxury limousine from Mercedes-Benz is expected to show up during the second half of this 2020. Recently, Gorden Wagener (Daimler's Chief of Design) showed this teaser in his Instagram page, even ahead of the official Mercedes account. Original Post

The Ferrari F40 is an icon. One could even argue that the V8-powered coupe is one of the best supercars ever produced. But the F40’s discontinuation in 1992 marked the end of an era; Ferrari quickly replaced it with the F50 in 1995, and the Enzo later down the line in 2002. But one rendering artist wants to bring the iconic F40 back in the form of a modern supercar. Dubbed the Ferrari F42, artist @paulbreshke took seven months to create his virtual Ferrari F40 descendant, and the end result is a stunning "what if." Drawing inspiration not only from the iconic F40, but also multiple Ferrari models, the concept has a sleek front fascia highlighted by slim LED headlights, multiple vents and carbon fibre trim pieces, and a lower diffuser with body-coloured accents. Note: This is an independent design by @paulbreshke and in no way related or endorsed by Ferrari. Original Post

The Ford Mustang is one of the planet’s most iconic performance names and essentially, a brand within a brand, but what if the Blue Oval decided to drastically overhaul the Mustang as we know it and launch an all-electric hypercar with that famous nameplate? That’s what these illustrations from Ankit Ukil, an automotive design student at the College For Creative Studies in Detroit, try to depict. The front end of the Ford Mustang Vision 001 is exceptionally striking and includes a low-slung nose with sharp LED headlights and a massive splitter to stick the front wheels to the pavement. Additionally, there are a set of bulging arches housing the wheels as well as a glass cockpit that’s barely any higher than these arches. Such a design would give the driver a unique view of the road and help them place the car perfectly when cornering. If you thought the front was bold, the rear takes things to another level. Immediately standing out are the Mustang-inspired LED taillights as wel...

The #Audi Q4 e-tron will be the first Audi to use Volkswagen’s MEB electric platform. Power will come from an electric motor on each axle paired with a 82kWh lithium-ion battery. The Q4 e-tron should start at around €45.000 and arrive sometime next year. Original Post

Dutch coachbuilder RemetzCar took the wraps off its version of the Tesla Model S Shooting Brake on Tuesday, unveiling a stunning gold-green, modified all-electric wagon in London. The design of the custom-built Tesla came from the studio of 33-year-old car designer Niels van Roij, who led the team that worked on converting the Model S into a shooting brake. In an interview with Autocar UK, van Roij, who now runs his own design studio, spoke about the Model S’ conversion, its journey from concept to reality, and his thoughts about Qwest Norfolk’s Model S Shooting Brake, which was unveiled earlier this year.

@j.b.cars has edited what we consider the best render available of the new Mercedes S-Class (internal code W223). If you visit his page you will find a YouTube timelapse video showing how it was made. Unfortunately, following the market trend imposed by the highly restrictive EU emission and noise regulations, the S63 will be much likely discontinued as it is today. The gap will most probably be filled by a 6 cylinder turbocharged S53, and an 8 cylinder turbocharged hybrid S73 with around 750-800hp (same engine as the expected for the new AMG GT 73S 4-door).

Our much admired design artist @ugur_sahin_design recently released a new new model that, in our opinion, should reach production. An extraordinary alternative to the acclaimed Ferrari Monza SP2, Aston Martin V12 Speedster or McLaren Elva. Original Post

Mercedes previously hinted at the styling of its first electric saloon with the EQS Vision concept at last year's Frankfurt motor show.  The EQS will compete with the new Porsche Taycan and Audi's E-Tron GT in the flourishing electric premium saloon segment. Test mules have featured a low, swooping roofline, with a slim headlight design among the more obvious visible features. It's described as being roughly the size of the current CLS. Original Post
