Video of the Day: Twin Turbo V10 Swapped Audi C4 S6 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="90914"] video: Deutsche Auto Parts This is 100% because I wanted to and why not kind of build. That thought has probably ran through all our minds at one time or another but if you're like me, I can barely change the oil in my cars. Joel though is thankfully not like me. He taught himself fabrication and even painted his Avant (in Merlin Purple) in his home garage. [gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="90915"] In the year ...

Spy Photo: Lamborghini Huracán Successor

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="90877"] We have some photos of the prototype for the upcoming Lamborghini Huracán successor. The front end shows some thin lights with the octagonal shaped LED lights under. Those are also working as the indicators. Fun to see are also the stickers that show some Gallardo headlight style. The shape of the rear lights are hard to see as they still look provisional under the plastic covers with the fake light stickers. [gallery link="none" columns...

Find of the Day: 2010 V10 Swapped A6 Avant

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88631"] photos: Jacob Lauck Ask any Audi enthusiast what their favorite body style is and most would say the Avant (totally unscientific fact not backed up by anything other than my own personal opinion as a wagon enthusiast). Before the arrival of the C8 RS 6 Avant and A6 allroad, the last big Avant we got in the States was the C6 3.0T V6. For many, that was good enough but to Audi Club member Jake (whom we affectionately call Jake from Kansas C...

Video of the Day: Martin Harp builds a V10 B5 AND a V8TT B5

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="88432"] video: Deutsche Auto Parts I don't know what to say about these B5s other than the fact that they are true Q-ships...when they are parked and have their hoods closed. Once you hear them though, their covers are blown. Martin Harp is the genius behind these B5 builds. The V10 B5 started life as a "regular" S4. Martin transplanted a 4.2 V8 but decided to install a VR6. After running into some difficulties with parts and other things, he fou...

However, they soon switch to winter tires and mayhem ensues. Ultimately, this rath...

Find of the Day: 1995 Audi S6 Avant V10 6-speed

Video of the Day: German Muscle Versus American Muscle

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="73470"] words: Bill, photo: carwow What happens when you pit a mid engine C8 Corvette Stingray V8 against a mid engine Audi R8 V10 and a rear engine Porsche 911 twin turbo flat 6? A fun drag race. The R8 is a Rear Wheel Series one so obviously it's rear wheel drive as are the Corvette and 911. So will American brawn take out the Germans? You may or may not be surprised.

Spy Photo: Audi R8 V10 RWD GT?

[gallery link="none" columns="1" size="full" ids="67743"] A last ”Hurrah” to the R8 or just some performance parts? Audi Sport didn’t show any performance parts for the facelifted R8 yet (only the pre-facelift was available with these parts) but we spotted a prototype in the snow with all the performance parts fitted and that of course raises some questions. We know Audi is planning some more special edition models of the R8 for a 2022 debut (Audi R8 RWD GT?) and this one could be a protot...
