So now that I have a commute again I had to get a daily driver. Last week I posted a vehicle in the Craiglist find thread, and well one thing led to another and the following day I purchased it. That's right, I went from 5 cylinders and 1 turbo to 10 cylinders and two turbos. Guessed it yet...

It’s the battle of the V10s, with an Audi R8 taking on the fearsome Lexus LFA. Although the R8 is a monster, the LFA has been called one of the best cars ever by no less an authority than Jeremy Clarkson. The race is a good one, the LFA's 4.8-liter V10 makes 560 hp and 355 lb-ft of torque. At...

We all know that racing is about the machinery and the driver working together. Not knowing all that much about drag racing, though, I’ve certainly wondered how much impact a driver can really have on the outcome of a race. The impact, it turns out, can be pretty big. CarWow has just put an R8...

Although the year 2008 turned out not to be a good one—thanks in no small part to Deutsche Bank—things looked great going into it. And there were some other Germans making some wonderful things: like this V10 RS6 Avant. While the internet has been inundated with glowing reviews of the current...

When the R8 RWS premiered, Audi promised that the S stood for “series,” implying that there would be more than just one. A recent report from Piston Heads suggests that the brand is,  indeed, planning another RWD R8 which will be even more extreme than the first. Inspired by its R8 GT3...

At Audi’s annual general meeting today, the brand announced that it would discontinue the TT and replace it with an electric car in the next few years. “For two decades, we have had this young, emotive car in our product range: as a coupe and as a roadster,” said Bram Schot, chairman of Audi’s...

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the R8 V10, Audi sent one to photographer Fabian Oefner to have its internals captured and turned into an exploded view. The photograph is, on its own, impressive. Equal parts beautiful and surreal, the picture seems to capture a moment in time, not unlike...

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ceding its place in the lineup to an electric supercar , it’s easy to accuse those of us who are a little sad of being outdated dinosaurs who just want things to be like they were in the good old days. But for many of us, the sadness comes not from a fear of the future...

The Audi Decennium was first revealed back in March, but now finally know how many are coming stateside and much they’ll cost. Built to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Audi Group’s gorgeous 5.2-liter V10, the R8 Decennium will start at $214,995 and Audi will be importing just 50 into the...

Audi is celebrating ten tens with a real tenner. One it's building ten of. Nope, gotcha. They're building 222 R8s to celebrate 10 years of the V10. That's right, it's been a whole decade since Audi started putting a V10 into the R8 sports car. To mark that, here comes the Audi R8 V10 Decennium...

Audi-owned Italian coachbuilder Italdesign has released a teaser image for its next product, which it plans to show at the 2019 Geneva International Motor Show. Unfortunately, this teaser image doesn't give us a very good idea of what Italdesign's latest creation looks like. It's hard to even...

As you May have heard, VW set a very specific record with the brand new Jetta that meant it went over 210 mph. Kindly, VW offered to fly us out for the record attempt and while we were there we talked to some of the VW owners who were around for the racing—normally that’s the part where we...

Italdesign Giugiaro is celebrating its 50th anniversary with a new supercar at the 2018 Geneva Motor Show. At the same show last year, the Italian design house unveiled the first car to be sold under its name, the Zerouno. The company is following it with a convertible variant at this year’s...

Lamborghini was on such a hot streak of obstinate heroism, promising us naturally aspirated V12s well into the future , but now they've admitted that the V10 that powers the Huracan will need hybridization when that model is replaced. The Huracan's followup isn't expected until 2022, so it...

Following Lamborghini development boss Maurizio Reggiani’s comments a few weeks ago that naturally aspirated V10s and V12s would continue to power Lamborghinis of the future, another exec has come out with promising comments. This time, the comments come from the brand’s chief commercial...

Driving a Lamborghini on public roads is an experience that’s akin to tight-rope walking. People point and exclaim, happy they’re seeing something so rare in action. The brand is built on spectacle and wow-factor. Legend has it that in the mid-’60s, one of the first Miuras was parked in front...

Lookit. I’m not going to draw a line in the sand about induction. I won’t even say that I prefer one form induction (forced or otherwise) over the other, but I think we can all agree that having some big ol’ naturally aspirated engines in the world is a good thing and it looks like Lamborghini...

Speaking to Automotive News recently, Audi’s new Vice President of Research and Development wondered whether the brand’s biggest engines were still entirely necessary. “Do we really need a V10 and a W12 for the next generation of cars?” he asked rhetorically. The comments came following...

The high-performance compact wagon market is a niche too far for Audi, which won’t sell the RS4 Avant in America. Revealed on Tuesday at the Frankfurt motor show , the Avant benefits from the same 2.9-liter biturbo V6 as the RS5 Coupe, with which it shares a chassis. Making 450 hp and 442...
