We have been hearing much about the BMW M5F10 of late, and the latest is that a few spy pictures have been posted online.  The credit goes to WCF, who has caught hold of a series of pictures of the upcoming car from the BMW stables.

Up until now there have been meager speculations that the Audi RS3 might debut at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show, and today we might have reasons to think the rumor is true. If an Audi Dealer from Cape Town, South Africa, is to be believed, the unveiling of the new Audi RS3. 2.5L five-cylinder turbocharged engine with 4WD and 335bhp will be done on the floor in Frankfurt. Although Audi is still denying the whole deal by maintaining absolute silence about the future of the product, we tend to believe that September 17 is going to be the actual “release date” to the public.

One car that is bound to steal the show even at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show will be the Plug-in variant of the Toyota Prius. Prius which is currently the number one hybrid car sold in the world is set for more success with the addition of this variant.

This will debut with the Toyota Auris HSD Full Hybrid Concept so you surely need to be at the ‘Green’ Toyota Camp in Frankfurt. The difference between a regular Prius and the Toyota Prius Plug-In Hybrid is the ‘plug-in’ capability. Toyota now wants people to focus on the electric side of the Hybrid Drive Synergy by launching a commuter which is purely electric and can solely manage with electric power for daily, shot-distance, commuting. Following the Frankfurt debut, 150 fleet vehicles will be shipped to a select number of people whilst an extensive field trail will begin in Europe next year.

One of the most interesting releases to look out for at the upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show will be the Fiat Punto Evo — an ‘evolved’ version of the ever so popular Grande Punto. Comparing the two will make you realize that the Punto Evo has minor changes on the outside and that includes new front and rear bumpers.

Effectively, the serious changes are evident on the inside where there is an updated dash and improved seats. The storage compartments have also been puffed-up and plus there is better an instrument cluster. As far as finding your way through the street goes, you will be duly assisted by the “Blue&Me-TomTom “system that features both telephone, navigation and information functions. Nothing concrete about the engines, what we know is that the car will be up for sale in October. Not much longer to way for it …

At the Frankfurt Show BMW unveiled its first hatch-crossover-suv or as the Bavarian’s call it, “Sports Activity Coupe”. Whatever it’s called and although opinions about its appearance were split between journalists, we liked the X6 concept. The clip features BMW’s X6 bimmer’s designers Chris Bangle and Pierre Leclerc.
