Infiniti teases G-replacing Q50 ahead of Detroit debut

Preparing for the introduction of its new naming system and redesigned entry-level sedan, Infiniti has released a brief teaser video for the 2014 Q50. As a refresher, the Q50 is the replacement for the G37 sedan, and while we've seen spy shots of this car before, this video is our first detailed look at the production car. All we get to see in the video is a shot of the headlight, but we get to see key elements like the stylish daytime running lights, crescent-shaped parking lights and adaptive low beams. The overall shape of the headlight is very close to what we saw earlier this year on the LE Concept.

Game Of Thrones Is Most Pirated 2012 TV Show

When it comes to a story that has a list, that simply resonates with the readers for some strange reason or another. I guess folks are always drawn to a "Top 10" compilation, as everyone has an opinion. Well, some of the lists do have unwilling participants, and I am not quite sure what to make of a list where the most pirated shows in 2012 are listed. Game of Thrones is right up there at the top of TorrentFreak's list, where this information was compiled after taking into consideration public BitTorrent file trackers and other unnamed sources, where Game of Thrones hit 4.28 million downloads for a single episode.

Qbeak Prototype Unveiled

The Qbeak is an electric city vehicle that is being worked upon by Denmark-based ECOmove, and this time around, it is said that the third prototype of the vehicle is under development, with insider information claiming that the Qbeak is “very close” to its finished version. Compared to its predecessors, the existing prototype is said to be lighter than ever before, and this can only translate to one thing – the Qbeak's single-charge range would have been increased.

Beam Telepresence Robot

Telepresence robots are not exactly the newest things on the block, but they sure as heck have quite a role to play in the future. After all, when you are unable to come to work because you have caught a highly contagious disease such as the flu, and yet are still feeling well enough to hammer out some reports, why not work from home and have that telepresence robot represent you at the office.

Audi R20, Le Mans-based diesel supercar, said to come in 2016

It was about a month ago that we first heard rumblings of a new Audi supercar that would borrow generously from the firm's Le Mans racers. At the time, Audi R&D chief Wolfgang Dürheimer was telling Auto Express that it could be a big seller if it were a diesel hybrid, and that not only would it sell well but it would be a match for coming vehicular royalty like the McLaren P1, Ferrari F70 and Porsche 918. Auto Express speculated carbon fiber construction and numbers like 700 horsepower, 737 pound-feet of torque and a top speed beyond 200 miles per hour.

Production Porsche 918 Spyder images leak out of Chinese patent office

A few images of what looks to be the production Porsche 918 Spyder are here to say hello, courtesy of a patent office in China. If these provide an accurate look at what the hybrid supercar will look like, there are a few differences between it and the latest examples of the pre-production prototypes our spy shooters have seen. The jerry-rigged turn signals inside the headlight enclosures and on the front fenders on the prototype are replaced with more polished units inside the headlamps located underneath the main beams.

Tomb Raider: Underworld Is Free-To-Play In Browser

They say that there is no such thing as a free lunch in this world, but I think you can get pretty darn close with Tomb Raider: Underworld, where it is made available to the masses as a free-to-play game in a browser, all made possible thanks to Square Enix's Core Online. Of course, there is a caveat to it, and the "price" that you must pay is to have your browser's presence "invaded" by an advertisement every 20 minutes. One good thing about Core Online is this, there is no need to worry about a lousy Internet connection, since Core Online will pre-load the game onto your system instead of taking the streaming route.

Lego will offer Back to the Future DeLorean set in 2013 (video)

You mean to tell me you created a time machine. out of Lego bricks. So, we may have taken a bit of poetic license with that line, but still – as a group of automotive-obsessed children of the '80s, there could hardly be a better toy with which to relive our childhoods than a Lego Back to the Future DeLorean Time Machine.

Air Force Enlists ESPN's Help For Drone Footage Analysis

The Air Force has enlisted the help of ESPN in order to go through and perform a thorough analysis on the copious amounts of video footage recorded from drone missions. Considering how the total number of UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicles) there are scouring the world, with a ton of footage being transmitted back to base in real-time, the Air Force has an unenviable task of poring over the data. They have then decided to enlist some assistance from the outside world, and this is where ESPN comes in.

Watch a Morgan Plus 8 be hand-crafted in two minutes

The Morgan Motor Company has been building vehicles since 1909 and built its first proper car – as opposed to a three-wheeler, or cyclecar – in 1936. That was the 4x4, and although it's been joined by seven other models, it is still being made today. The Plus 8 is one of those other models, and the Telegraph sent a crew to watch it being made. An eight-cylinder version of the Plus 4 (the Plus 4 has a larger four-cylinder engine than the 4x4), it takes 30 days to produce each sample – hand-fashioning the wooden body in the image above is just one reason why.

Canon Cinema EOS 1D-C Arrives In Japan, World To Follow

When you slap a sticker price of $11,999 on your digital camera (the Canon 1D-C, no less), it is definitely not going to make it to the DSLR best seller list by far and large, but you should not be surprised to hear that there would be a fair number of people who are willing to pony up that kind of insane cash just to bring home this extremely versatile 18-megapixel 4K cam, where it boasts of EOS lens compatibility and a full-frame sensor to boot. It seems that industry expectations for the Canon EOS 1D-C stood at $15,000 thereabouts for its pricing, so to hear that it has gone under the $12,000 mark (just) is definitely a pleasant surprise.
