As cars like the Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept, Mercedes S63 AMG coupe and Mazda MX-5 take centre stage in New York, Autocar presents live coverage of the show

*1507hrs* Marc Noodeloos has had the chance to drive the new Chevrolet Camaro Z/28 in New York. He wonders if GM is focusing too much on its performance division in his latest blog.

*1504hrs* We've also spotted the new Porsche 911 GT3 RS testing at the Nurburgring. Reports suggest it'll get around 500bhp when it goes on sale next year.

*1500hrs* Outside of New York, Toyota has confirmed its hydrogen-powered FCV concept will go on sale in production form next year. It'll be coming to Europe, too.

*1458hrs* The third-generation Nissan Murano gets its styling from the firm's Resonance concept, but also receives a new upmarket interior. Nissan is currently deciding whether to bring the new Murano to the UK.

*1455hrs* Priced from £60,730, the new M4 converible will be priced closely to the old M3 cabriolet, which ended production late last year.

*1452hrs* Another big public debut for New York will come in the form of the new BMW M4 convertible. With 425bhp available the new M-car should pack quite a punch, and will go on sale in the UK this September.

*1450hrs* As well as the revised Countryman, Mini is also bringing along a blacklight-inspired fan-designed hatchback called "DeLux". The winning entry in a competition to design the look of the 2014 Mini Cooper, the car features Tron-inspired graphics. It'll go into very limited production for the US.

*1**447hrs* The idea of a Z06 convertible will be familiar to Covette fans, as the Z06 package was first offered on Corvettes in 1963 for use in endurance racing.

*1445hrs* One of the star cars of this New York show is expected to be the Chevrolet Corvette Z06 convertible. We've already seen its coupe sibling, but this open-top Corvette comes with at least 625bhp and will be coming to the UK next year.

*1443hrs* The new Chevrolet Cruze is brimming with new connected tech, including an on-board wireless hotspot as well as Apple's Siri 'Eyes Free'. Like the Kia Sedona it won't be coming to the UK, however. 

*1440hrs* Interestingly, the new Sedona will also be the first Kia model to offer the firm's next-generation infotainment system, which comes with Apple's Siri 'Eyes Free' iPhone integration system.

*1438hrs* Kia's new Sedona MPV won't go on sale in the UK, but the new MPV will offer space for up to eight passengers in the US. It also represents the "final chapter" in the firm's design transformation.

*1435hrs* Of course, if you've missed any of our coverage in the run up to the New York show, you can catch up with our preview, here.

*1433hrs* We already know that most models in the new Discovery family will take their design inspiration from the Vision Concept. The new family is expected to appear next year. 

*1428hrs* Among the big announcements expected today is the name of Land Rover's Freelander replacement, which is strongly tipped to be called Discovery Sport.

*1425hrs* The revised Mini Countryman will go on sale following its debut in New York. The car gets a minor redesign and improvements to its fuel economy, plus a small power increase.

*1423hrs* Elsewhere at the show, Infiniti is also showing a revised version of its Q70. Just months after being renamed, the Q70 gets an updated exterior design and a new LWB version.

*1420hrs* Infiniti's new QX80 is based on the Nissan Patrol, and comes with a 5.6-litre V8 engine. It'll only be offered in left-hand drive and only in markets like the US, Russia, China and the Middle East.

*1416hrs* As well as previewing the all-new MX-5, Mazda has also revealed a special 25th anniversary edition of its famous roadster, complete with an upgraded engine and interior.

*1414hrs* Mazda is giving us a close preview of the new MX-5 sports car by showing a completed transmission and suspension setup at the show. 

*1412hrs* Ford has also revealed a 50th anniversary edition of the new Mustang. Celebrating the launch of the original car, just 1,964 units will be available. The model probably won't come to the UK for some time, though, as US sales only start later this year.

*1410hrs* Another car which has already made its debut in New York is the Mercedes S63 AMG Coupe, which features Mercedes' corner tilting technology and can reach 0-62mph in just 3.9 seconds.

*1407hrs* Plus, as always, you can keep up to date with all our New York motor show news both here and by using our dedicated page, here.

*1406hrs* We've also taken the chance to do some driving in and around New York in the new BMW X3. Read Mark Tisshaw's first drive to find out if this updated X3 is a significant improvement on the old model.

*1404hrs* In fact, Autocar editor Chas Hallet thinks New York is quickly taking its place among the world's largest motor shows. To find out why, read his blog.

*1403hrs* Alongside its new concept car, Land Rover also announced a new tie-in with Virgin Galactic, which will see its cars deliver paying astronauts to their shuttle in the first commericalised space travel business.

*1402hrs* While there have already been plenty of exciting new car reveals, including the Land Rover Discovery Vision Concept, there'll be plenty more to come throughout the day.

*1400hrs (UK) / 0900hrs (US)* Welcome to Autocar's New York motor show live blog. Throughout today we'll be bringing you the very latest news from the New York motor show, as our team of reporters and photographers hit the show floor. Reported by Autocar 1 day ago.
