Audi A3 E-tron concept (2011) first official pictures

This is the Audi A3 E-tron concept, just unveiled alongside the new Q3 SUV at the 2011 Shanghai motor show.

Does this new Audi A3 E-tron concept still use the first concept's turbocharged 2.5-litre five-pot engine?

Team Lotus snaps up Caterham +video

Team Lotus buys Caterham Cars - and a Team Lotus Special Edition Seven to celebrate Team Lotus – that’s the ‘Lotus’ F1 run by Tony Fernandes, not the Hethel mob run by Dany Bahar – has bought Caterham Cars from Corven Ventures for an undisclosed sum.

This does not mean there is any invasion of personal space – far from it, as when passengers lie down their seat's consoles hide their heads.
