Subaru FT-86 STI - Click above for high-res image gallery
Toyota has been stealing all of the limelight with its interpretation of the company's forthcoming collaboration with
Subaru recently. What with news that the car may actually cost more than $25,000 and show up under the
Scion banner, the interwebs have been alight with talk of the 'Yota coupe. Meanwhile, word of the Subaru half of the equation has been left to a scant few
spy photos and little else.
Well, we can add yet another smattering of shots of the Pleiades-badged coupe to the mix. Our camera-equipped spyshot ninjas have managed to nab a few more pics of the Subaru mule our for testing, and this time, it appears that the engineers are hard at work playing with an STI variant. Why do we say that? Feast your eyes on that bulging hood and front-mounted intercooler. Those two pieces all but scream hi-po, and they are our first indication that the flat-four powered, all-wheel drive coupe will be available with a powertrain offering something north of 300 horsepower. As of right now, it's anyone's guess as to when we can expect to see either the FT-86 or its Subaru equivalent on the scene, but early reports are saying 2012 is a good possibility. Get excited.

Pagani C9 high-altitude testing spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
While
Pagani continues to roll out special editions of the outgoing
Zonda, we've been seeing just as many spy shots of its replacement undergoing development testing coming in. This latest batch, however, just might be the best look we've had at the new C9 yet.
Expected to launch sometime next year, the highly anticipated new Pagani supercar is expected to feature a 6.0-liter V12 custom built for the niche Italian automaker by
Mercedes' AMG performance division, packing some 700 horsepower. This batch of spy shots was snapped while the test prototype - camouflaged with duct tape but wearing its own gull-winged sheetmetal - was undergoing high-altitude testing somewhere in Southern Europe. Have a closer look in the high-resolution image gallery below.

When
Land Rover officially revealed the
Range Rover Evoque they didn't include a single shot of the five-door baby crossover utility. Thankfully, someone with early access to the upcoming
Paris Motor Show floor decided that was some kind of crime, and so they took shots of the more family-minded Evoque occupying the Land Rover stand. The secret snapper also got images of the cabin, and we think it's beautiful distillation of the Range Rover Sport's interior language. We can't wait to see it ourselves next week.
For now, have a look at the link below for more shots of the Evoque five-door, and be sure to
hit the jump for a video of the two-door.

MV Agusta F3 - Click above for high-res image gallery
The crafty crew over at Hell For Leather managed to get their hands on a scant few photos of the MV Agusta F3. Word is that the wicked new bike will share more than a little blood with the flagship
F4, though in place of the time/space-bending 998 cc mill, the smaller bike is likely to employ a slightly more humane engine. Early reports are pointing to either a 600 or 675 cc powerplant, though no one has been willing to throw out a guesstimate on exactly how many ponies the bike will lay down.
From the shots, it's clear that the F3 will be very similar to its more robust sibling, at least aesthetically. While it's possible that the bike in the shot above is simply wearing pre-production bodywork, it's entirely possible that the fairing we see here is what will ride on the retail version. If so, there will be only a handful of differences between the F3 and the F4, as both bikes make use of the same miniscule headlight and tiny tail light.
MV Agusta hasn't yet announced whether or not the F3 will even make it to production, so odds are the company is simply testing the waters with this bevy of spy shots. If you want to see this one in the showroom, best let the company know what you think. We'd hate to see the manufacturer's hard work on its
small-displacement model go to waste.

2012 Audi S7 - Click above for high-res image gallery
When this first batch of spy shots landed in our inbox, we didn't think too much about them. It's an
Audi A7 with the optional S Line bodykit. Big whoop. However, the rear view tells a different tale. Specifically, the quad-tipped exhaust system.
What we're looking at is the first
Audi S7 prototype which,
according to earlier reports, could debut as early as next week at the
Paris Motor Show.
If it does, we can expect a slightly lower ride height over the standard A7, upgraded brakes, wheels and tires, and a set of deeply bolstered buckets up front. But what's under the hood?
Initial speculation suggested that the 4.2-liter FSI V8 found in the
Audi R8 could be the engine of choice, but the latest intel floating around involves a new twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8 outputting upwards of 450 horsepower and a healthy amount of torque.
Hopefully, all will be revealed in just over a week, but before then, scope out the S7 mule in the gallery below.

"Dirty Shirley" Aston Martin One-77 spy shots - Click above for high-res image gallery
If you're thinking, "This car looks familiar," it's because
we've seen it before. The
Aston Martin One-77 continues to tease us with its beauty, power and exclusivity, and our spies have caught the bronze test car out on the Nürburgring once again. This time, though, One-77 isn't its only name.
Whoever Dirty Shirley is, she should be honored to know that her name has been given to Aston's super-rare One-77. Even so, if this name is just Aston's way of getting closer to its prototypes, so be it, because honestly, we can't think of a more appropriate name.
For the sake of drooling, we'll remind you yet again that only 77 of these darlings will be made, packing a lordly 7.3-liter V12 good for over 700 horsepower. Top speed is somewhere north of 220 miles per hour, and the whole thing retails for a lofty $1.8 million. Stay dirty, Shirley.
