2014 Skoda Octavia III RS revealed again in the brands configurator

We already saw the new Octavia III, and the RS version was leaked to the web in the brands own configurator. Well it seems they did it again, revealing the car to the public again but this time in blue with black wheels.

As you can see the new RS will have headlamps with a darker inside, new more sportier bumpers, a large spoiler on the the trunk/boot lid, and larger black wheels.

No information was revealed about the engines but we expect to see the 2.0liter petrol engine with over 200hp and the 2.0liter TDI with 184hp. Both will have the DSG gearbox available. We will probably see it for the first time at the Geneva Motor Show.

2014 BMW X5 III (F15) shows up in an online configurator

Seems a second IT guy made another mistake and made available an online configurator from which someone was able to get a few pictures of the next-generation X5 (F15).

As expected the new SUV is very similar to the previous one, although they have tried to differentiate it from the X3, managed to make it look like the 3-Series. For example, the rear lights are almost the same, only slightly larger.

Besides the normal X5 there will be a X5L that will have a larger wheelbase to allow an extra row of seats, thus being able to sit seven people.

The new BMW will keep the V6 and V8 engines from the outgoing model, but will have a new four-cylinder diesel engine, probably the one in the 325d and 125d, with 218hp and 450Nm.
