Test cars at the Nürburgring show RS 3 and Golf R are in line for power hike
THE iconic Audi five-cylinder engine is not long for this world, so to send it off in style the brand is planning a special edition of its RS 3. Spotted testing at the Nürburgring in Germany, the new car will get more power, chassis upgrades and some styling enhancements, and will arrive next year priced from around £80,000 to £90,000.
Audi will focus its updates under the bonnet, unlocking extra grunt. Power could increase from 394bhp to around 425bhp, but torque will likely stay at 420Nm, because the seven-speed dual-clutch transmission is already near its maximum rating.

TOYOTA PRUIS
ALTHOUGH I wouldn't yet say the honeymoon period is over, a couple of things about the Prius have started to irritate me of late, by far the most irksome of which is its overzealous ADAS package.
