The Land Rover Discovery Sport goes out of production in December. Model doesn’t meet European Union’s latest safety standards. Crossover could effectively be replaced by the upcoming Defender Sport. Land Rover has an aging lineup, but one of it’s oldest members is heading for the exit. We’re talking about the Discovery Sport , which was launched in 2014 following a $256 million investment into their Halewood plant. The brand’s entry-level model used to be pretty popular, but age has taken its toll. In the most recent quarter, sales were down 49.3% to 2,452 units. That made it Land Rover’s slowest-selling vehicle, putting it behind the Discovery (2,561) and Range Rover Velar (4,605). It’s also worth noting the similar Range Rover Evoque did far better as consumers snapped up 10,615 of them.

This one-owner Audi S4 Avant has covered just 3,700 miles since new. V8 manual wagon remains one of Audi’s most desirable enthusiast cars. Every B7 S4 buyer should budget for an expensive timing chain service. Some cars are special because they’re rare. Others become icons because they offered a combination of performance and practicality that simply doesn’t exist anymore. The 2008 Audi S4 Avant falls squarely into the second category, pairing a naturally aspirated V8 with a six-speed manual and Quattro all-wheel drive in one handsome wagon package. The one-owner example you see pictured here has traveled just 3,700 miles (5,955 km) since new, but before anyone starts dreaming of bringing it home, there’s one very expensive detail every prospective buyer needs to understand.

Porsche chased Roc, the plane with the widest wingspan on Earth. The stunt unfolded at California’s Mojave Air and Space Port. Roc’s six engines combine for 340,500 pounds of thrust. Eager to launch the all-new Porsche Cayenne Electric with the right amount of fanfare, the German brand went looking for a very special stunt, and it settled on one involving the largest aircraft in the world. While we’re not sure it’s as impressive as the time VW used a Touareg V10 TDI to tow a Boeing 747 two decades ago, it’s a decent effort all the same. The whole thing took place at the Mojave Air and Space Port and involved Roc, the plane with the largest wingspan on Earth. The thing is so enormous it has two fuselages and can take off fully loaded at up to 1.3 million pounds (589,670 kg).
