CAR Most Wanted of 2014: Audi Sport Quattro

By the CAR editorial team First Official Pictures 06 January 2014 09:00 Like a moth to a flame, Audi remains bewitched by the prospect of reviving the Sport Quattro. Thirty years on from the Frankfurt show reveal of the Sport Quattro, the homologation model that spawned Audi’s dominant World Rally cars, VW’s premium brand is unveiling the Sport Quattro concept, take three. Three years ago, Audi showed the Quattro concept (take two), a beautiful, modernist update of the 1980s icon.

Rolls Roye Wraith – final tease ahead of Geneva debut

Rolls Royce has revealed the final tease photo of the new Wraith – the RR Ghost Coupe – ahead of its debut at the 2013 Geneva Motor Show. It started out with the reveal of the return of the Wraith name – and an ethereal image of the Spirit of Ecstasy - in the middle of January, followed by a shadowy tease photo a week later of the Wraith and finally a couple of detail photos of the interior. Now, for the final tease of the Wraith ahead of its Geneva debut, Rolls Royce seem to have gone back to the beginning, with a tease photo of the Wraith that’s just a series of a few lines.

Porsche makes £14k on every car it sells, Bentley makes £12.7k

Porsche made £14k on every car sold in 2013 If you need an illustration of how much more profitable high-end sports and luxury cars are than mainstream cars, VW Groups sales figures demonstrate it perfectly. At the extreme ends of the profit per car spectrum, Porsche made an enviable £13,931 for every car it sold in 2013 and VW made just £615 (although SEAT actually lost £330 on every car it sold) . In fact, although you might expect the higher-priced Bentley range to make more per car than a Porsche, Bentley only managed a creditable second place on VW Group’s profit per car table, turning in £12,700 profit for every car it turned out (11,000 of them in 2013).
