2024 Audi SQ8 High-Performance SUV Spotted Testing with Camouflaged Fascias

The Audi Q8 is set to undergo a mid-cycle refresh, and recent spy photos taken by Motor1.com reader Tom Ryan from Colorado gives us a glimpse of the upcoming SQ8 variant being tested on public roads. Despite the camouflage covering its front and rear fascias, we can still see some of the updated design elements.

These new photos offer a close look at the styling changes on the SQ8. The revised headlights, new bumpers, upgraded grille, and tweaked side skirts will position the SQ8 between the regular Q8 and the hotter RS Q8, which Audi is also planning to update. The quad oval exhaust tips confirm that this model is the performance-focused S trim.

Singer Teases Porsche 911 With Bold Design Features

Singer Vehicle Design has given us a sneak peek at its latest reimagined Porsche 911, and it’s definitely catching attention. The vehicle is set to make its debut on Tuesday, June 27th.

The teaser image reveals the rear fender, which boasts a wide flare with a prominent front intake. And let’s not forget about the massive wing sitting on the rear deck. The bright orange color adds an extra touch of flair.

 

One of the most intriguing features of this Porsche 911 is its center-lock wheels. They have a captivating basketweave pattern with a deep dish design. The color transitions from bronze to dark green, complemented by a set of Michelin Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires.

Unfortunately, there are no further details available at this time. However, looking at Singer’s previous builds can give us an idea of what to expect. The company is currently focusing on turbocharged vehicles and has temporarily paused orders for the 911 Classic Study. As of early 2022, Singer had 70 reservations for turbocharged models, which are equipped with either a 450 horsepower or 510 horsepower twin-turbocharged 3.8-liter flat-six air-cooled engine. These vehicles offer a choice between rear- or all-wheel-drive layouts and come with a six-speed manual gearbox.

When it comes to customization, Singer allows buyers to tailor their car to their preferences. From suspension tunes to interior amenities, customers have a wide range of options. Whether you want a comfortable grand tourer for the road or a more aggressive track-focused setup, Singer can deliver.

Judging by the bold design elements like the fender flares and wing, it seems that this particular customer opted for a track-honed setup. However, it’s also possible that they desired a comfortable ride with a striking exterior appearance.

Singer previously caught our attention with the debut of its first reimagined 911 Cabriolet. This model featured a Cadiz Red body, a prominent whale-tail spoiler at the rear, and a cabin adorned with a combination of black leather and red plaid, accented by wood trim. Its turbocharged engine churned out 510 horsepower.

One notable addition is the inclusion of amber daytime running lights across all models of the SUV. In the X-Line and X-Pro trims, Kia has replaced the dark metallic trim on the bumpers, lower door garnish, grille surround, and headlight bezels with a sleek black gloss finish.

New spy shots of the Audi RS6 E-Tron electric performance sedan reveal the use of cameras on the A-pillars instead of traditional mirrors. The inclusion of these cameras on the test vehicle suggests that Audi may offer this technology on the production version of the car.

Aside from the addition of the camera stalks, the latest images resemble previous spy shots of the RS6 E-Tron. The front end showcases a trapezoidal opening in the lower fascia, along with vertical air curtains on the outer edges. The headlights are divided, with the running lights positioned at the tip of the hood. Overall, the car’s front end appears sleek and streamlined.

2024 Kia Sorento Facelift Rendered After Recent Spy Video

Development work on the updated Kia Sorento is still ongoing. A recent spy video showed the South Korean SUV undergoing pre-production tests in Michigan, with full-body camouflage and Michigan registration plates. The automaker seems to be taking its time with the development, so we shouldn’t expect to see the official debut until the end of this year. However, you don’t have to wait for the premiere to get a glimpse of what the 2024 Sorento will look like.

Gotcha Cars has kindly shared an exclusive gallery with us, featuring renderings of the revamped Sorento. While the earlier spy photos didn’t reveal much, the renderings clearly show a completely redesigned front end. It features a new radiator grille, vertical headlights, and a new arrangement of LED daytime running lights (DRLs). There are also noticeable changes to the lower section of the bumper and the lower grille.

Volkswagen Confirms the Beetle Will Not Make a Comeback

Speculations about the resurrection of the iconic Volkswagen Beetle in the form of an electric vehicle have been circulating for years. However, the German automaker has officially declared that there are no plans to revive the Beetle. In an interview with Autocar, Volkswagen CEO Thomas Schafer explained that the decision is primarily driven by marketing considerations.

During the pre-production test drives of the third-generation Tiguan, Schafer confirmed that an electric Beetle is not currently being considered. He clarified that it is not due to a lack of resources, finances, or time, but rather because it does not align with Volkswagen’s marketing strategy. When asked about the possibility of the Beetle returning for the modern era, Schafer stated:

“I don’t think so, because there are certain vehicles that have had their day. It wouldn’t make sense to bring it back. I wouldn’t say with 100 percent certainty. But from where I stand now, I wouldn’t consider it. It’s the same as Scirocco: it had its day, then there was a new model based on a reinterpretation. To do that again? I don’t think so. And going forward with balancing all these technologies and the cost that is associated with it, you’ve got to invest money in the best possible place.”
