According to USA Today’s auto blog Porsche has begun the search for the United States’ oldest Porsche in 12 different model classes. The search, called the My Classic Porsche Search, is part of Porsche’s celebration of 60 years in the United States.

Winning entries, likely to come from owners with plenty of documentation, will receive special recognition and will also be eligible for other awards from Porsche including an exclusive badge from the Porsche Museum in Stuttgart.

Porsche aficionados who don’t happen to own some of the oldest in America can enter into another contest being held by the automaker, the national My Porsche Passion Contest. The contest will be unveiled on August 24th and will give people a chance to write a a story, in 500 words or fewer, that exemplifies their unique passion for a specific Porsche car, an experience or the brand as a whole. The essay contest will be open to entries until Nov. 1.

Porsche released some very exciting news today. It’s official – that super sexy, super efficient electric supercar that we first drooled over earlier this year, the Porsche 918 Spyder, will be put into limited production! We first told you about the 918 Spyder Hybrid back in March. It started out as just a concept car, but then interest in the engineering marvel accelerated almost as fast as the car itself (which, by the way, is 0 from 60 mph in 3.2 seconds).

The 918 Spyder gets an astounding 94 miles per gallon and has four different driving modes ranging from all electric, called E-Drive, to the performance tuned Race Hybrid mode. It’s 3.4 liter mid-mounted V8 engine produces 500 horsepower while 2 other electric motors give it an extra 218 horsepower.

While Porsche has yet to say how many of the dream machine will bill produced, it’s likely that the number will be about the same as the Carrera GT – somewhere around 1,500. The 918 Spyder will also be Porsche’s most expensive car, set to carry a price tag of $630,000.

The news of the 918 Spyder wasn’t the only big announcement by Porsche today. Buried under the excitement about the supercar we learned that Porsche also has confirmed that they will launch a Panamera S Hybrid in 2011. It will share the same hybrid parts as the Cayenne S Hybrid. It will be powered by a 329 horsepower 3 liter V6 engine along with a 46 hp electric motor. It will also be able to drive at low speeds on electric power alone.

It’s really remarkable that Porsche is becoming a leader in fuel efficient vehicles, all while keeping their image as a performance-first manufacturer.

The designers and engineers at Audi have come up with yet another sleek and sexy vehicle to tempt auto enthusiasts. Audi Chairman Rupert Stadler introduced the manufacturer’s new 2011 Audi A7 Sportback in Munich, beautifully designed with long curved lines, a low profile, and a tapered rear which Audi says resembles Italian cars of the 1960′s, but could easily be compared to that of the Porsche Panamera.

The A7 Sportback has a lightweight body with many aluminum components. Audi’s Quattro permanent all-wheel drive system will be standard on the car in the United States. A 7 speed automatic transmission and adaptive air suspension (which can be set for sportyness or for comfort) are some of the other high-tech mechanical features the new Audi model has. A new electromechanical steering system helps the Audi save fuel by not needing to rely on an engine-driven pump for power assist, and also works hand-in-hand with the active lane-assist system.

Under the hood Americans will get a powerful supercharged 3 liter V6, while in Europe 3 different V6 options will be available as well as two TDI diesel engines.

On the inside, the A7 Sportback has a wide variety of standard and optional features including a Multimedia interface system with an 8 inch touch display to control audio, telephone, and other components. The front seats have air ventilation and massage, and the entire cabin is nicely decorated with layered wood inlays. A Bang & Olufsen sound system and internet service make the A7 even more irresistible.

The Audi A7 Sportback will be available in the United States sometime in 2011.

BMW is working on an all-new electric vehicle, called the Megacity, that will be one of the first entirely electric cars to hit the market. BMW has said they are designing and building the car from the ground up in order to optimize the electric vehicle platform. They also want to make sure the car is more sleek and sporty than current fuel efficient cars like the Prius and Leaf.

The Megacity, which BMW has scheduled to release sometime in 2013, will be made of much more lightweight carbon fiber materials to maximize the driving range. It will be the first mass produced vehicle with a passenger cell made entirely of high-strength and light-weight Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic, or CFRP. The new architecture will also allow for a new, more flexible and more efficient production process.

More details about the car, such as how far it will travel on one charge, have not yet been released. Still, we’re very excited for the future knowing that BMW has this one in the works.

This is the start of an exciting new journey for all of us!

This evening, the business will celebrate 40 years of this remarkable motoring icon and the world’s most complete luxury vehicle at the 40th Anniversary event for Range Rover being held in conjunction with Vogue magazine at Kensington Palace. The event, which celebrates the past, present and future of Range Rover, will offer guests a sneak preview of the all-new addition to the Range Rover family as its name is announced for the first time, ahead of its global public debut at the Paris Motorshow on September 30, 2010.

You can view the live streaming of the unveiling by logging on to www.InteractiveLandRover.com at 3:30 PM EST. In case you miss it, the global website, www.landrover.com, will be updated with a link to the transmission later this evening.

This new Range Rover is an important step for the future success and growth of our business. It is not only the 6th model that we are adding to our portfolio, but with the introduction of a third Range Rover model, we are firmly establishing the brand. This important investment in our future is also a great sign of trust from our parent company, Tata Motors.

The new Range Rover will be the smallest, lightest and most efficient Range Rover ever produced and the third Range Rover model to compete in the fuel-efficient premium compact luxury SUV segment in North America. Customers can be confident that the new car will be as premium, as luxurious and just as special as the other Range Rover models. Its sporting looks and unique qualities will open the brand to a new group of customers who may not have considered one of our products before.

The latest addition to the Range Rover family will go on sale in the fall of 2011 as a 4WD vehicle in both the US and Canada. It is a great opportunity for all of us to extend the continuous success we have enjoyed since the launch of our 10MY products.

It’s clear that the car in the sketch isn’t something in the current Porsche line-up, and the long, sloped hood looks similar to that on the Panamera, which has surpassed sales expectations to this point. The cars proportions seem to suggest a front-engine GT rather than a revised mid-engine or rear-engine sports car. It’s rumored that if this car is built and put into production that it could bare the 928 name, a ressurection of a car that we havn’t seen since 1995.

Although none of this is confirmed by Porsche, we would certainly love to see a new V8 Porsche!

Land Rover just released an upgraded Range Rover in 2010, and now only a year later the model line is getting even more enhancements. One of the new improvements to the Range Rover is an addition to a system put in place in the 2010, the Terrain Response System. Hill start assist holds the vehicle on a grade until the driver accelerates, making it easier to drive up hills. Last year Land Rover added a new launch control system designed for driving in sand as well as an updated rock climbing and decent mode and a gradient release control to keep the Range Rover from accelerating too quickly down a slope.

Other additions to the 2011 model are optional rear reclining seats and a 1200-watt 19 speaker Harmon/Kardnon sound system.

A new Autobiography Black limited edition model is also being released to celebrate 40 years of Land Rover. It comes with the rear reclining seats standard along with heat and ventilation in the rear seats. The interior can be covered in Jet Black leather or two-toned leather. Also included is Grand Black wood veneer trim and illuminated door sills. The exterior is, of course, a special Barolo black color with contrasting diamond-turned aluminum alloy wheels and a few nice chrome inserts and a special grille.

All of the 2011 Range Rover models will utilize a 6-speed automatic transmission and your choice of either a normally aspirated V8, producing 375 horsepower, or supercharged 5.0 liter V8, producing 510 horsepower.

As for the specs, the Audi R4 is expected to weigh no more than 2,500 pounds and will have either a 1.4 liter TSI engine that produces 180 horsepower or a 2.0 liter inline-four, similar to the one in the Audi TT, that produces 170 horsepower.

Of course, all of this is still just speculation (thanks TopSpeed), but if it comes true then the market for entry-level sports cars will be in for quite an overhaul. An Audi sports car based on the E-Tron for under $30k is just what we’ve been waiting for.

If you’ve always wanted to own a high performance BMW but couldn’t afford the price tag there may be good news. BMW has confirmed that they will be releasing a high performance M version of the 1-Series coupe. The 135i M, as it will be called, will debut sometime in 2011.

“In an interview with German Web site auto-news.de, M GmbH boss Kay Segler confirmed that BMW will launch an M variant of the 135i coupe,” writes Edmunds Inside Line. “Segler said it will not be called M1, since the name has already been used on the limited-edition, Giugiaro-penned midengine sports car that BMW sold from 1978 to 1981.”

The new 1-Series M will likely come with a more powerful version of the 3.0 liter 300 horsepower turbocharged engine that is found in the 2011 1-Series. Exact numbers havn’t  been released, however it is thought that the new M’s inline-six will produce anywhere between 306 hp and 350 hp. Unfortunately for all of us here in the U.S. BMW has yet to state if it has plans on ever bringing the 135i to the states.
