After BMW announced the i8, German magazine Autobild claims the M version will be seen by 2016. The magazine claims that it will carry a twin-turbo V-8 engine that develops around 600 horsepower. This should be enough to sprint the car from 0 to 60 mph in approximately 3 seconds and up to a top speed of 200 mph. The model will reportedly keep i8’s carbon-fiber passenger cell that will help keep its curb weight of about 1,500 kg (3,300 pounds).

Wearing heavy camouflage gear on its front and rear, the new Challenger is expected to sport new bumpers, revised lights and perhaps a new hood design. The rest of the car is likely to stay the same, although we may see Dodge introduce some new wheel patterns and colors. The interior is expected to receive a major update, with improved materials and more user-friendly controls likely to make the cut. An eight-speed automatic should be offered across the range, along with some new tech features such as the latest Uconnect interface, a reversing camera, and possibly even radar and camera monitoring systems.

After Nissan announced that it will rollout a self-driving car by 2020, Volvo has upped the ante and said it plans to have its “Drive Me” program runnning with 100 autonomous cars by 2017. The Volvos will be distributed in Sweden to specially selected drivers whose commentary and diagnostic info will be collected by the manufacturer. Volvo isn’t undertaking this program alone. It’s working with the Swedish government to make traveling “safer, smoother, and less polluted,” as well as revolutionizing infrastructure.

After impressive success during the 2013 season, Honda prepares to return to the 2014 World Touring Car Championship season with an updated Civic WTCC. The 2013 Civic WTCC gets a revised aerodynamic package, with subtle styling change to the wheel arch extensions, larger diameter wheels, a sleeker aero package and an extended rear spoiler. Under its hood, the 1.6-liter, four-cylinder engine was also tricked to deliver a little bit more power.
