Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe (2011) first official pictures

This is the Mercedes C63 AMG Coupe. After years of competing admirably against the BMW M3 Coupe with four-door saloons, the recent launch of the C-class Coupe means Merc’s go-faster tuning arm AMG finally has a two-door on which to build a worthy rival. And this is it, the C63 AMG Coupe, which sports a big V8 capable of producing 480bhp.

Remember this twin-engine, AWD, home-brew Scirocco?

Obviously, the big problem with the VW Scirocco is that its rear wheels aren't driven. Around a decade ago, a guy named Anson decided to solve that problem by shoving a second VW motor in the rear end of his Scirocco. Sure, VW had done it before, but this enterprising do-it-yourselfer spent just $1,800 on the build.

Jaguar F-Type 3.0 litre V6 Supercharged engine trailered (video)

The Jaguar F-Type is to get a new 3.0 litre V6 Supercharged engine and Jaguar are trailing it in a new video ahead of launch. We finally learnt in April that the C-X16 Concept would come to life as the Jaguar F-Type and just a few days later that the F-Type would be getting a new V6 supercharged 3.0 litre engine (amongst others). But with the launch of the Jaguar F-Type Roadster still almost a year away (spring 2013), Jaguar are keeping up the marketing impetus with a trailer video of the new supercharged lump destined for the E-Type’s spiritual successor.
