The 2013 Audi A4 is soon to join the 2012 A5 with a fresh new face, revised to keep the model fresh as it reaches mid-cycle status. These images, the first to capture the facelift, show LED running lights like the revised A5, among other features. Some of those other features, visible despite the black-and-white optical camouflage, include: new shapes for the front and rear headlights; restyled front and rear bumpers; LED fog lights instead of the projector-style used on the 2012 A4; and what appear to be slight tweaks to the shape of the side mirrors. Beyond that, it's too camouflaged to...

Just yesterday we brought you spy shots from what appeared to be a hot-weather testing session, and which has the same setting as this official video released today of three Model S Alpha build cars testing on track. The track is partially banked, enabling easier high-speed testing, but also has traffic and road markings--with speeds laid out in metric--making us think Tesla has borrowed another automaker's testing grounds for the Alpha's shake-down. Other than that, there's not a whole lot going on in the video--except the increasingly less-eerie sound of electric cars whipping along at high...
