Tony fitted a twin turbo setup combined with his company's own fuel system plus upgraded the transmission for the extra torque but never opened up the motor itself. The results? Zero to sixt...

Soooo yesterday I was ranting that my B5 RS 4 Avant should have won last week's Find of the Day episode but I totally forgot about this selection: a 1 of 8 2015 Audi R8 V10 Le Mans edition in Sepang Blue. George's choice won its round and the overall award...sorry Jacob. The ad for it is very bare bones but luckily we had our resident Audi Nerd, George, to fill in the blanks. It shows up at the 43 minute...

As the wise Kermit The Frog once sang, it's not easy being green...unless of course, you just happen to be an Audi exclusive Avocado Green R8 V10. Our friend, Will, sent me a link yesterday that blew my mind. I've never seen an Avocado Green...well...anything.

Another day, another drag race. This time the guys over at Autocar dragged an Audi R8 V10 against the Porsche Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid. The eagle eyed one may recognize this particular R8. The last time it graced our page, it raced a Ducati Panigale V4. Spoiler alert...well check out the video but you can imagine the carnage.
This time it faced a much heavier but much more powerful Panamera Turbo S E-Hybrid.
Will this R8 V10 (non plus) redeem...

As we head into the weekend, let us take in the glory that is this ridiculous (but awesome) drag race: Audi R8 V10 vs Ducati Panigale V4. The lads over at Autocar have pitted these corporate cousins against each other for no other reason than because why not?
Enjoy.

Well, that didn't take long. Auto Express put the new Audi R8 RWS against the Porsche 911 GT3 in a very wet drag race. Normally, the wet conditions would be no problem for the R8 V10 but remember, this one is rear wheel drive. How will it fare against its corporate rival?

As part of the country digs itself out from Winter Storm Grayson (the bomb cyclone), I'm sitting in my nice warm office watching YouTube videos of Audis bombing (see what I did there?) through the snow and feeling a little envious. We only got about 2 inches here in eastern Pennsylvania...enough to have some fun but not like these guys.
