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.

The Audi B7 RS 4 sedan was the only RS 4 to show up on our shores and what a statement it made. Jeremy Clarkson stated that the 4.2 V8 is in the top 3 greatest engines ever made and the B7 RS 4 is a gem. Around 2,700 were imported to North America and this 2007 example is 1/99 in Misano Red. This example is owned by Troy Sicotte, former president of Audi Club North America. Those who know Troy and/or following hi...

The definition of mythos is anything transmitted by word of mouth, such as a fable, legend, narrative, story, or tale (especially a poetic tale). Looking at this Mythos Black S7, one gets the feeling of a beast rising out of the mist. We know the owner of this S7 and from what we know about him, he is very meticulous with his cars...you could say almost legendary. Here's the ad:

I'm always on the lookout for interesting Finds of the Day and occasionally, I will wander across the Atlantic to see what's up in Europe. Being that I'm located in the States, I need to look for cars that will be allowed under the 25-year rule and this one hits that. This is a 1995 Audi S6 Avant 4.2l V8 with a manual transmission and it's an Audi exclusive color. At least that's what the ad says but I am unclear when A...

If it was not for the Audi RS Q8, the SQ8 would be the crowning SUV champion of the Audi fleet. But thanks to ABT Sportsline the 2023 Audi SQ8 can rival the bigger RS brother in performance and looks. From the factory the 4.0-liter twin-turbocharged V8 that is powering the SQ8 is already providing a respectable 500 HP and 568 lb-ft of torque. But with the ABT Engine Control installed an exceptional gain of up to 640 hp...

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...

The Mk1 R8 V8 - such a statement when it burst upon the scene and has endeared itself to many. While some lived a comfortable life of a garage queen, only taken out on weekends, others were driven. Meet Igor; he belongs in the latter group. He and his Audi Club owner made a drive to the 2018 Audi Club National Event in Tacoma, WA in the company of other Audi Club members (The Conga L...

You may or may not know this but the 1st generation Spyker C8s are powered bu Audi's 4.2L V8. It's not the high-revving one found in the RS 4 but rather the V8 found in the B6/7 S4. Spyker itself says that a Spyker isn't your 1sr supercar; it's your eighth. The original Spyker not only manufactured cars but also fighter aircrafts. You can see this history in their logo and also in some design features. He...

We have a batch of new photos showing a prototype for the Lamborghini Urus PHEV and this time we get a clearer look at the all new front end. Why Lamborghini is changing the front so much for an PHEV model is still a mystery but they will have their reason.
As we can see all of the front is changed: the headlights, the bumper and even the engine hood is much longer than on the regular Urus models.

I've always called the Audi S8 the Executive Muscle Car and the current iteration is just that and more. Mat puts it up against its corporate sibling, the Porsche Panamera Turbo S. Very similar cars so how do they stack up against each other? The Audi has a twin turbo 4L V8 with 571hp but weighs a hefty 4900lbs. The Porsche also has a twin turbo 4L V8 but it has 630hp and weighs a slim 4600lbs. The outcome...

The Executive Muscle Car versus the Scrappy Kid...biturbo V8 versus turbo 5-cylinder...571hp vs 400hp. If you just look at the numbers, the S8 is the clear winner but what about real world? Bonus is watching the huge S8 doing donuts; it's fantastic. Oh and by the way, Audi Club is giving away a 2023 Audi RS 3 in the Audi Club Fall Sweepstakes!

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. Either way, it'll be fun. Watch the video below.
