    Do you remember that insane photo of the Lamborghini Miura with the engine being blown apart out the back ? Did you ever wonder how they did it? Well good news, Audi hired the same photographer to give the R8 V10 the same treatment to celebrate its 10th anniversary. The photo (photos?) was...

    With rumors of the R8 V10 ceding its place in the lineup to an electric supercar , it’s easy to accuse those of us who are a little sad of being outdated dinosaurs who just want things to be like they were in the good old days.

    Magnetic Ride Control is used by Audi, Ferrari, GM, and even Ford. But how does it work and where does it come from? Magneride was launched on the Cadillac Seville STS way back in 2002. This was back when Cadillac first really started going after the Germans and pitching that car as a real...

    In which our brave hero contemplates spending $100 on a single bit and runs you through to get your rebuild inspected. The temptation of a salvage car auctions can and should be compared to the sirens on the rocks. We all think we'll be able to avoid tragedy, but as this video points out...

    The Atlanta Hawks may not be doing that well on the court, but they're pretty good at pranks. Trae Young was the latest victims of the team's rookie hazing. Young's brand new, matte black R8 was parked at the stadium on November 9 where presumably he thought it was safe and sound. When he...

    Well, it’s official, the R8 is growing a mustache. A new teaser image from Audi Sport reveals that the facelift R8’s new front fascia will, in fact, mirror the GT3 car’s new front end.

    Remember a few months ago when Audi introduced the Audi Sport performance parts? Well, now you can get a limited edition R8 with all of that stuff added on for just $40,000 more than standard.

    Although racing has made remarkable and heroic strides in safety technology, there’s still inevitable danger to driving at high speeds on a tight track with other people. To wit, Dries Vanthoor’s recent crash at the 24 Hours of Nurburgring. Audi was mostly disappointed by its results at this...

    Our spy photographers in Ingolstadt have been hot on the case following a new R8 that’s under development with a few tantalizing details.
