It's been just a few days since Audi pulled the veils off the fourth-generation A6 premium sedan, and we already have a photoshop rendering of the future RS6 created from EDL.

Time has come for the 458 to taste the Maranello magic. The Ferrari 458 Challenge has been debuted at this year's 2010 Bologna Motor Show. This is the fifth model to get placed into a single-series racing program. The Challenge keeps the same 570 horsepower engine as the standard 458 Italia. Ferrari has focused on reducing the thickness of the body panels, as well as introducing materials such as carbon fiber and Lexan. All the upgrades found on the Ferrari 458 Challenge result in a potent, track-ready machine that is faster than the 458 Italia.

The headline news for the 2010-to-2011 changeover is that the WRX gained the STI model's widebody fenders and 1.3-inch wider track. High-performance tires certainly contributes to the stability of WRX. The tires are about 235/45R17, a centimeter wider than the 2010 edition.
The 265-horsepower turbocharged 2.5-liter flat-four sounds great. Unlike most cars, the WRX emits a unique exhaust note thrum that enthusiasts can ID without a pause in conversation, and the engine itself emits a muscular howl as it moves up and down the power band.

Audi will be introducing a new solar program for its eTron electric vehicles. Audi is also planning to expand its solar panel system so that electric vehicle's batteries may be charged using clean, renewable energy from the sun. It hopes to cover some 80,730 square feet of the plant's roof with new photovoltaic panels. By the end of the project, it will have nearly 205,000 square feet of its German manufacturing facility's roof covered with the solar cells and the new installation alone can produce enough electricity to power 180 homes.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Jaguar would be recalling 6,475 2010-11 XJ sedans due to the potentially defective windshield wipers.
The windshield wipers were not properly installed or synchronized in these affected vehicles. In few vehicles, the wipers would lose synchronization and eventually clash against each other, resulting in one or more wipers detaching from the vehicle.
Jaguar would begin notifying the owners by Dec. 13. Dealers will inspect the vehicle and repair the securing nut to correct the torque specification if necessary.
