Since the release of the new VW Golf Mk7, it has won 2 very highly accredited car awards. The World Car of the Year & European Car of the Year award. So, with the GTI officially launching very soon, the Golf fans has started the gossip about the upcoming Golf R Mk7.

Pictures, courtesy of VWVortex.com forums shows that Volkswagen has already started the development of the Mk7 R, with predictions of a tentative release date in late 2014. The car will be based on the Mk7′s MQB construction chassis, tagged along with an AllWheelDrive system which will probably be similar to the Mk6 R’s Haldex AWD system. Standardising from the Mk4 R32, we can expect a 3 and 5 door configuration and also a DSG transmission with a manual option as well. Read the rest of this entry »

So here we have it, the all-new Audi RS 6 Avant. And like the whole Audi lineup, anything that bears the lettering “RS” is nothing to be made fun with, even if it is in the form of a tame, deceivingly-looking urban wagon. But unlike the previous RS 6 that houses a monstrous V10 under the hood, this one has a V8 instead; so no more oomph from this Deutschland sleeper?

The Porsche 918 Spyder Means Business with a 7:14 Around the ‘Ring

Today’s supercars are taking on a new direction; while some are still comfortable in sticking to the good ol’ tower of power V12s to launch them off the roads like Lamborghini’s Aventador and Ferrari’s new F12, others are going to the downsizing-and-boosting route like McLaren with their twin-turbo MP4-12C. Another trend that is slowly shaping the future supercars that we might be seeing in a couple of years is the hybrid route where the next-gen NSX will have it, the new F70 Enzo successor, and the one that is almost out from the pipeline, the Porsche 918 Spyder.

GTHaus presented its own take on the BMW M3 at the BimmerFest 2010 and though resembling another German tuner’s model, the GTHaus creation is definately one of the better looking tuned M3′s around.

707bhp BMW M3 by Emotion Wheels

Don’t you just love tuners? They take a relatively fast car, replace some parts, do some tuning work and turn it into some fire breathing monster that can easily take on some of the more established barons of speed. This is one fine example by Emotion Wheels. The German tuner usually only works with wheels and this is its second time branching out into the world of total package tuning.

German tuner creates exhaust pipes with remote controlled butterfly valves for Nissan 370Z

The Nissan 370Z definately sounds enthusiastic, in fact much more than the 350 it replaces. But when heard passing by at full note, it can be a little subdued. To change that and offer even more aural pleasure, German tuner Cobra Technology and Lifestyle has developed a remote-controlled butterfly valve that allows the owner to control how loud the car is, this product is a part of wide range of visual and performance parts for the 370Z.

The remote-controlled butterfly valve includes 120mm pipes with a flap that helps the Z sound from anything like a laidback cruiser to a all out race car. Check out the video by clicking here. Read the rest of this entry »

It shows life at the ‘Ring during the 24 hour race, one of the most grueling but loved endurance race. Its a video worth watching in HD and worth every second of the 13 minutes it runs for.

9ff introduces new power package for the Porsche Turbo – Incredible acceleration figures

By

9ff, like all reputable tuners, have a tendency of making a car that is already quick into something that is just scary. Imagine this, 0-100km/h in 3.2-seconds, 0-200km/h in 9.4-seconds, 0-300km/h in 23-seconds flat, to some that may be scary but in all honesty, it just spells f-u-n. Read the rest of this entry »
