Practicing their final notes before they go on song for paying customers, three 991-series Porsche 911 GT3 prototypes were caught at a filling station in Catalunya, Spain almost completely uncovered. According to the photographer (working with an iPhone), two of them (foreground in the photo above) were wearing a host of extras from the options list, while the third appears to be a prototype set up halfway between a traditional 911 and a GT3: it has five-bolt GT3-style wheels and central exhaust, but standard 911 front and rear bumpers and rear wing.

Auto Talk: Mercedes-Benz CLA caught uncovered ahead of reveal
The ever-covert spy photographers at Brenda Priddy & Company have nabbed a fresh one. This time, it’s a new Mercedes-Benz that looks to be a mix between an A-Class and the CLS-Class four-door coupe. It is being called the CLA-Class, and it has been caught completely sans-camo in preparation for a shoot in Iceland. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: 2014 Nissan GT-R spied testing at Nürburgring
Every year since the Nissan GT-R was released it has either gotten more powerful or more expensive (or both), and the 2014 model year looks to be more of the same. Some new spy photos have surfaced showing the 2014 GT-R testing around the Nürburgring. While details on the new Nissan are a bit scarce, we can’t help but wonder whether this will be the GT-R to break the 600-horsepower mark and the six-figure price tag. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: BMW 3 Series GT peels off more camo
We’ll spare you the discussion about whether or not it actually makes sense for BMW to create a Gran Turismo version of its 3 Series, especially given the dismal sales of the larger 5 Series Gran Turismo here in the United States. And nevermind the fact that BMW calls its new 3GT “a style conscious car with the dynamic prowess to match its looks.” (We’ve heard that before.) All we know is, the more functional (but not as functional as a wagon) 3 Series is headed our way, and it’s expected to debut at the Paris Motor Show in late September. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: Is Suzuki working on a next-gen SX4 turbo?
Suzuki looks to be putting a few development miles on the company’s next-generation SX4. Our spy photographers nabbed a handful of photos of the five-door during testing on public streets, and the heavily camouflaged vehicle helps give us a glimpse of what to expect from the next model. Even with the disguise, the new car looks larger and more substantial, with a new greenhouse and relocated side mirrors. Designers seem to have fiddled with the hatchback’s grille and headlamps, though we’re more interested in what can be seen through the mesh in the lower fascia. Look closely, and you can just make out what appears to be a sizable intercooler hanging out in the bottom air inlet. Funk Flex
