I spy with my little eye something beginning with ‘S’ – secret test tracks! Car makers may think the proving grounds where they fine-tune new models are safely hidden. But they aren’t! No amount of barbed wire, high fencing or burly security staff can guard against the prying eyes of satellites orbiting the earth. These can see everywhere. And thanks to the computer program Google Earth, you can, too. We have used the hi-tech software to look in on 13 of the world’s most heavily guarded test tracks.

A raft of updates is helping BMW raise the bar with its top-selling 3-Series ð€“ and it appears one is better than two. Hot 335i versions of the Coupé and Convertible models have lost one of their two turbos in the facelift, although power stays exactly the same.

While Audi has cancelled plans to build a diesel R8, the good news is itò€™s definitely going ahead with a drop-top Spyder model.

Tipped to reach dealers as early as 2011, the car will feature a full-length soft-top ò€“ maintaining Audiò€™s preference for lightweight fabric roofs over folding metal hoods.

Both V8 and V10 editions of the Spyder will be available, and all benefit from a full-length glass engine cover. To make the V formation stand out even more, itò€™s thought an optional lighting kit will be offered ò€“ allowing owners to illuminate the engine bay at the flick of a switch.

Audi has earmarked this yearò€™s Frankfurt Motor Show for the modelò€™s debut, but is remaining tight-lipped on prices. According to our source, the newcomer will carry a healthy price premium over the coupé, with entry-level V8s costing as much as Ò£90,000.
