Later in the year, Audi will revise the entire R8 line-up with subtle revisions across the board. The most significant change to the existing models is the addition of a seven-speed S Tiptronic automatic gearbox, which is optional on the V8-engined models and standard on the V10-powered versions. We have saved the biggest news for last; the expansion of the range with the R8 V10 plus. Compared to the 'standard' V10, the plus boasts more power at 550 hp and is also a little lighter. Along with the other revised R8 models, the first R8 V10 plus will roll off the line towards the end of the year with European customers getting first pick.
Mazda have chosen next month's Moscow Motor Show to reveal the next generation 6. This represents the second model using Skyactiv technology and the Kodo design language originally introduced with the Shinari Concept. The launch specification is targeted at the Russian market and consists of a direct injection four cylinder engine mated to a six-speed automatic gearbox.
At the Geneva Motor Show RUF showcased the Clubsport version of their range topping CTR 3 model. Compared to the original version, it features a revised body with additional carbon fibre trim parts. The Porsche-derived engine now produces 740 bhp and a staggering 960 Nm of torque. We recently captured the striking machine at speed during the Goodwood Festival of Speed.
