Audi SQ5 TDI

It's an Audi Q5 diesel...S. It's also a concept and the latest buzz that's come out from Inglostad. However, when we say “concept” we don't really mean something far fetched.

It's oily bits have been reinforced in way so that they can take the stress of 313 hp and 650 Nm of torque. Th

Renault Alpine A 110-50 Revealed

Completely out of the blue, it's the Renault Alpine A 110-50 – a tribute to the original 1962 Alpine A 110 Berlinetta. A nostalgic DNA strain is clearly visible on the concept's design cues. Don't be fooled though – it's as modern as a teenager's mobile phone. The base for it is a Renault Mégane Trophy with minor changes in detail that make the difference. The familiar bits can be seen on the bodywork – a slippery line, a reminiscence of the A 110 additional headlights (yellow LED arches),
