2018 BMW 8-series coupe The luxurious new two-plus-two coupe is planned to return to the BMW line-up in 2018 after an almost two decade hiatus as part of what company bosses describe as the biggest model offensive in the company’s history. The Concept 8 Series is being displayed this weekend at the Concorso d’Eleganza on the shores of Lake Como in Italy, and is the first in a series of ultra-premium cars from BMW.

2019 Audi e-tron Audi is bringing another full-electric e-tron model, the Audi e-tron Sportback, to production in 2019 at its Brussels factory following the launch of the Audi e-tron electric SUV in 2018, the automaker announced in a press release Wednesday, and an electric supercar could also be on the way. Audi is looking to continue its innovation efforts with new e-tron electric models. Though the automaker has toyed with them in the past, contemporary technology has proved for some setbacks that indicated a viable high-performance EV for the brand would be a few years out. Now though, we know that there are two new EVs—the 320-kilowatt e-tron Sportback and the e-tron electric SUV that are fresh and ready to come to market. Both cars will be built at the automaker's Brussels facility. The move is said to echo the launch of the Audi Quattro in 1980. Although based on the contempora

Volvo Concept Coupe This is the Volvo Concept Coupe. The concept was penned by the brand’s new vice president of design, Thomas Ingenlath of Volkswagen fame, and its interior was laid out by Robin Page, formerly of Bentley. Considering the upbringing of the two men behind the Concept Coupe, looking to the past for inspiration might very well have led to a modern-day PV544. However, the Swedish brand had another classic gem in mind to inspire its all-new design direction that will merge “contemporary Scandinavian lifestyle and design with iconic elements from Volvo’s 1960s era”: the P1800. Porsche E-Performance. Direction: Future. Volvo may as well be describing the vintage coupe’s proportions when it explains how the distance between the concept’s dashboard and front axle has been extended and the greenhouse positioned rearward. The CC’s grille mimics the s

Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid Platinum Edition The 2017 Porsche Cayenne S E-Hybrid Platinum Edition plug-in hybrid thumped up onto Car and Driver’s California scales and punished them to the tune of 5373 pounds. That’s 54 pounds less than we recorded for the slightly less lavish non–Platinum Edition version during testing in Michigan. Hey, California gravity is groovier than Michigan gravity. Or maybe it was the nearly $10,000 in extra options on the Michigan car that added mass. The vehicle with the longest name in Porsche’s lineup is plug-in hybrid gasoline-electric crossover. It is technically a second-generation hybrid version, surpassing its predecessor with new plug-in capabilities that allow it to recharge using a standard household 110-volt outlet (in about 11 hours) or a dedicated 240-volt outlet (in less than three hours). Opening the hood only reveals a portion of the powertrain, which l
