I’m a fan of cars made by the VAG group. Especially Audis. And they are on a proper roll this year, having released cars into and paraded concepts for all sorts of different niches.
This one looks really good and is something I’d seriously look into as a replacement for my current Bora.
The Audi A7 is one of those cars for grown ups who still love cars, but want some comfort to go with their style. It’s a four door coupe and will, no doubt, includes all sorts of new gadgetry.
How BMW managed to get their three liter twin turbo engine from the 335 into a 1 series coupe is a wonder in itself. But the sound is absolutely awesome.
This is what an engine generating 300hp @ 5800rpm and 300 lb-ft torque, rocketing it from 0-60mph in just 5.3-seconds sounds like.
MTM’s supercharger conversion for the already immensely powerful RS4 adds a huge 20,000 euros on top of the price of your bog standard RS4, but boy does it sound good too. This turns your car (if you own an RS4) into something that can hit almost 200 mph (199 if you want to be exact) and 62mph in 3.9 seconds.
Audiworld have a full review and many more snaps of this fire-breathing, 535 bhp beast.
Like Prada and other designers, Porsche is also stepping into the mobile phone market. Unlike some, this isn’t just any old phone with a Porsche badge on it. This super-cool phone has a case milled from a single block of aluminium and includes fingerprint security.
Apparently it’s the result of collaboration between Porsche Design and Sagem Communication and may be called the Porsche - Sagem P9521.
It’s due to be released in September. I wonder if Vodafone will offer it as an upgrade?
This time it’s on a Merc M Class. At least it’s a better car than the little roadster I mentioned a few posts ago. Autoblog has a whole gallery of pics.
I love the Terminator movies (although I don’t ‘love’ the third instalment) as much as the next geek, but covering your car with images of ‘Judgement Day’ is taking it to another level. Check out what this guy in Russia has done with his airbrush and glow-in-the-dark paint.
I guess it’s a love it/hate it thing. Personally I hate it, but recognise and admire the talent.
