Posted: 28 Jul 2017 06:02 PM PDT


Remember the Aston Martin Virage? No, not the one from the '90s – the one Aston made in 2011-12.

It was closely related to the DB9 and DBS, but was phased out after just a year and a half of production. That leaves it as something of an oddity in the annals of Aston Martin history, but this one is rarer still.

Four New Audi Models Coming By Mid-2018, Compact EV Due In 2020

Posted: 28 Jul 2017 03:09 PM PDT


Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler has confirmed the company will launch at least four models by the middle of next year.

During the company's interim financial report, Stadler said "By the middle of 2018, we will present new generations of four more core model series. In addition, we will expand our product offering in the top segments next year with the Audi Q8 and the fully electric Audi e-tron."

The company was tight-lipped on specifics but confirmed the A6 and A7 Sportback will be launched early next year. The other two models remain unconfirmed but previous reports have suggested they could be the new A1 and Q3.

Stadler went on to reconfirm plans to launch the e-tron in 2018 and the e-tron Sportback in 2019. However, he also revealed the company will offer a "premium electric car in the compact segment" beginning in 2020. Little is known about the model but it could potentially be a Tesla Model 3 competitor.

Besides talking about the new models, Stadler confirmed the A8's Level 3 autonomous driving system will be activated early next year. As he explained, "As soon as the legal framework permits it, we will gradually bring the new piloted driving functions into series production beginning in 2018."
