Audi digs at Mercedes with the help of a pair of Spocks (video)

Audi likes nothing more than a bit of ‘celebrity’ kudos, which is why you’ll find endless celebs (and royalty) running round in Audis thanks to ‘enhanced’ lease deals and freebie cars. But it’s not just individual celebs that Audi loves, they also love a blockbuster film or two, which is why you’ll also see Tony Stark running around in a car with four rings in Iron Man 3 and, although there aren’t many Audis in space (or on the Enterprise), you’ll find Audi pitching in for a bit of PR on the back of the new Star Trek film – Star Trek Into Darkness. Audi has enlisted the services of Mr Spock in the guise of the original (Leonard Nimoy) and the new (Zachary Quinto) to highlight the benefits of driving an Audi, and getting a dig in at Mercedes in the process.

Peugeot 207 CC and 308 CC Roland Garros Special Editions

Peugeot 207 CC and 308 CC Roland Garros Peugeot – an official sponsor of the French Open – has revealed Roland Garros Special editions of the 308CC and 207CC. There’s nothing like a special edition to move a few cars – especially when they’re nearing the end of their shelf life – and even better if you can tie in a bit of Sponsorship goodness in the process. Which explains Peugeot’s decision to put together special editions of the 207CC and 308CC with a bit of ‘Tennis’ thrown in to the mix with ‘Roland Garros’ badges (Peugeot are sponsors of the French Open at Roland Garros) The Peugeot 207 CC Roland Garros comes in either Onyx Black or Bianca White with a choice of the 1.6 litre VTi or the 1.6 litre HD 112 diesel.

Volkswagen Beetle Dune Concept heading for Detroit

Volkswagen Beetle Dune Concept (pictured) heading for Detroit The original VW Beetle was a perfect candidate for a Dune Buggy, and many old VWs were converted to blast across sand dunes around the world. VW had a bash at their own Dune Buggy back in 2000, but now, ahead of a reveal at the Detroit Auto Show next week, we have what looks like a buggy from VW that could actually be heading for production – the Volkswagen Beetle Dune Concept. VW has revealed a single image of their Beetle Dune Concept (above) that shows a jacked-up Beetle with big wheels and tyres, a ski rack on the back and a bit of cosmetic titivation.
