Aston Martin recently took a right-hand drive version of the company’s AM 310 Concept for a spin in Italy. The coupe was on hand for a brief photo shoot, and sported a few different details from the model we saw debut at Villa d’Este. Marked by a more sane set of wheels and a more demure grille, this machine looks almost ready for production. Aston Martin has already made it clear the concept could give us an idea of the successor to the DB9 and DBS, and some voices are indicating this could be the next-generation Vanquish. Funk Flex

Auto Talk: Mercedes-Benz SLC may not be a gullwing after all
Spy photographers clicked off a few images of the newest member of the AMG clan in training. We’ve already heard Mercedes-Benz is planning a new sports coupe positioned just under the SLS AMG. Designed to take on the Porsche 911, the model will be smaller than its older brother in every way, but it may differ in one other important aspect as well. While the SLS AMG is known for the model’s iconic gullwing doors, the SLC hardtop may actually get its wings clipped, bowing with traditional pillar-mounted hinges instead. A convertible model is expected to follow suit sometime later. Funk Flex
Auto Talk: Audi reveals full details and specs for 2013 RS4 Avant
Audi has finally gotten around to serving up details on the company’s 2013 RS4 Avant. Buyers can look forward to plopping their money down on a wagon with a full 450 horsepower served up by a naturally-aspirated 4.2-liter V8 engine. With 317 pound-feet of torque on hand, the German manufacturer says its new long roof can sprint to 60 mph in a mere 4.7 seconds on its way to a top speed of 174 mph. A seven-speed dual-clutch gearbox handles shifting duty, while Quattro all-wheel drive dumps the grunt to the ground. A sport rear differential will also be available to those who plan on doing more than setting grocery run records. Funk Flex
