Test Issue

“Mercedes-Benz plans to unveil its all-new next- generation S-Class flagship sedan in the middle of next month. Truth be told, we’ve already seen the final production car caught completely disguised by our spy photographers while it was likely doing some promotional photo shoots. But today we bring you what are likely the last spy images of a prototype caught testing before its big debut. Aside from the slight bits of camouflage here and there, the car’s sleeker design over its predecessor is quite evident.”-CarBuzz.com

“We last spied the next-generation BMW X5 M testing on the Nurburgring clad in full camouflage. These latest spy shots show the high-performance SUV teasing a lot more sheetmetal, giving us a better look at what BMW has in store for the redesigned model. Compared to the new X5, codenamed F15, the M variant sports a more aggressive front end with bigger air intakes, quad exhaust tips, large wheels with signature blue brake calipers gripping cross-drilled rotors, sportier rocker panels, and a lower stance. As per the latest 3 Series, the headlights connect visually to the kidney grilles, while the X5 M will incorporate the same weight-saving technologies set to feature on the 5 Series platform that loosely underpins the new X5. Power will come from the twin-turbo 4.4-liter V8 found in the M5 and M6 with output expected at around the 560-horsepower mark. The new X5 will enter production later this year with the M variant to hit showrooms towards the end of 2014.” -Carbuzz.com

After our poll between the BMW 4 coupe, Mercedes C63 AMG, and the Audi RS5, the Audi came up victo-rious. “the RS5 is the result of a full working over by Quattro GmbH, Au-di’s equivalent to BMW’s M division or Mercedes-Benz’s AMG outfit. It’s an in-house engineering skunkworks and is responsible for the R8, the TT RS, the RS4 Avant, and the RS6. Com-pared with “S”-badged Audis such as the S4, S6, and S8, RS models are more powerful, rarer, and more track ready.”- Caranddrive.com
